Pros:

We stayed for one night so we could visit the temples at sunset and avoid the heat. Dinner on the terrace, with the beautiful view of the temples and live piano music, was wonderful. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

Uzasny hotel i pro narocne s magickou atmosferou plnou historie!
Pros:

Fantasticky hotel s unikatni atmosferou a dokonalym vybavenim a pohodlim i pro velmi narocne hosty. Vyborna restaurace s neopakovatelnou atmosferou pod chramem Concordia. Fantasticka snidane a uzasny bazenovy bar kde nam naservirovali mozna nejlepsi pizzu vubec :-) Kazdicky okamzik v tomto hotelu je vyjmecny a stoji za to ho prozit! Privatni pristup do Udoli chramu je velky bonus k pobytu, ale moznost navstevy chramu v nocnich hodinach je unikatni moznost s uzasnou az magickou atmosferou toho mista.

Cons:

Po 22te druhe hodine zadny nocni bar ani moznost drinku po navsteve Udoli chramu.

Amazing
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel for one night only with my son. We were immediately greeted by the hotel staff who were very kind throughout our stay. Lucky us, as we got an upgrade to a room with a view on the tempels. There is a private entrance that guest can use to visit Valle dei Templi. The restaurant, bar and pool area have a view on the tempels as well. Dinner and breakfast are excellent. Would highly recommend to stay there!

Cons:

That we couldn't stay longer.

Extraordinary facial and pedicure
Pros:

I had the most luxurious relaxing anti aging facial from Melania. She included massage of the head, neck, arms, hands and feet. I felt truly rejuvenated after the hot Sicilian sun.
Also treated myself to a pedicure from Chara who did a wonderful job restoring my feet from all that walking. Calluses gone and feet massaged and ready to hit the ruins again.

Magic location, but our room and service fell short of expectations
Pros:

Villa Athena Resort has one of the most extraordinary locations imaginable. Situated inside the archaeological park of the Valley of the Temples, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the Temple of Concordia, which can be seen from many parts of the resort and is beautifully illuminated at night. Having a private direct access to the archaeological site, with the possibility of buying tickets at reception, is also incredibly convenient.

However, our experience did not fully live up to the high expectations of a five-star resort. We had booked the highest room category that was not a suite, a Deluxe Room. We were quite unimpressed to find that our room was located in the basement. There was a walk-in closet and a nice bathroom, although not very big and an annoying detail was that both the towel rack and the towel drier was located directly besides the toilette.

The staff were generally professional, but the service did not always have the warmth or personal touch we have experienced at other five-star resorts. The food was good although expensive and quite enjoyable in the spectacular surroundings. The à la carte breakfast was particularly enjoyable!

When checking out we noticed that an expensive spa visit was incorrectly charged to our bill, despite never having used the spa. The charge was removed after we pointed it out, but we felt that the matter was handled with very little apology.

Villa Athena is a place where the location is the true star. You pay a significant premium for the privilege of staying next to the Valley of the Temples and waking up with views of ancient Greek architecture. For us, the setting was absolutely worth experiencing, but the room allocation and service issues meant that the overall experience fell short of what we expected from a five star resort.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt in geschichtsträchtiger Umgebung
Pros:

Top Hotel, wunderbarer Ausblick auf den Concordia Tempel. Besonders zu empfehlen das Abendessen im Gemüsegarten, gemeinsam mit anderen Gästen, man hat die Chance auf interessante Bekannschaften. Fie private Führung durch die Tempel war super.

Cons:

Das Frühstück wird zwar serviert, kein Buffet!, etwas ungewohnt. Man könnte aber an den Semmeln arbeiten, die sind weich, der gekochte Schinken ist Pressschinken, also da könnte man das Eine oder Andere verbessern, aber das ist Klagen auf sehr hohem Niveau.
