The Location is spectacular. easy and private access to the temples. Exceptional service from the staff . Two staff in particular were wonderful, Manuela and Antonino. The main restaurant and bar and breakfast areas were wonderful. We have been recommended the Hotel to other Australians.

The BBQ setting and ambience was spectacular but the food choice could have been improved. Coming from Australia, where BBQ is an important part of our culture , I would suggest rather than beef as your main protein a seafood or combination of local protein would have been better. nonetheless the experience with other hotel guests was wonderful and we caught up with some of them later in our travels. This is a very minor blemish. The Hotel is spectacular as stated earlier.

When you wake up in the morning and see a massive Greek Temple built approximately 2600 years ago in immaculate condition, how could there be anything wrong with this hotel or its location. The hotel is phenomena in its own right and have first class and friendly staff who are well trained and carry out their duties flawlessly. There is no question that their first priority is to make a memorable visit for their clients. The accomplish that with great ease. I was recommended Villa Athena by an Italian friend living in Canada and it met her comments. We have already recommended the Villa to our friends.

The location of this property is great since you get access to the temples right from the property. That was the main reason I chose this hotel. Nice breakfast was included but some of the portions seemed larger than they needed to be since you want to indulge in the pastry tower they bring. Very good choices and quality of breakfast items.

It would have been nice to have the snack area open as a light option for dinner. It's a remote hotel and you're kind of stuck to have dinner at the resort restaurant unless you want to drive or taxi into town. The dinner was nicely done but elaborate when I would have preferred something lighter and less expensive.

The Villa Athena is more than a 5 Star Hotel. It is a 5-Star Plus Experience!! From the moment you enter the beautiful grounds, meet the gracious professional staff and experience the incredible views of the temples, you know you have chosen the most amazing hotel in all of Agrigento. The rooms are luxurious, have spacious bathrooms and fine quality bedding and toiletries. The views of the temple from the Terrace are stunning.!! We enjoyed our fine dining experiences for dinners and breakfasts. Our waiters, Antonio and Alex were professional and well trained. They were very efficient, pleasant and made sure our dining experiences were perfect. We purchased the tickets to see the Temples at the hotel Reception desk and it was an easy walk along the private path to the site. Because we chose the Villa Athena, our visit to the Valley of the Temples was the hi-light of our 3 weeks in Sicily. We highly recommend this exceptional accommodation.

Nothing.

Excellent location for the Valley of Temples and just a short drive to the hilltop city of Agrigento. Room was well appointed with a lot of extras like robes and slippers. You just can’t beat the view of the temples while sipping a glass of wine in the afternoon.

The room was stuffy - had to open ALL of the windows to get air flow and cool it down as only heat was on for the winter months. Not a problem until the guests next door sat outside and smoked so then we had to close the windows. No ramp to lower level where our room was - steps only. Would have been nice to know ahead of time we should have dressed up for dinner.

Breakfast was delicious with fresh orange juice & a generous selection of pastries each morning, a menu that was presented to you and also available to download. Again a great variety—eggs prepared numerous ways, cold cuts, fresh cheeses, smoked salmon, smoked swordfish. The wait staff was very nice, they seemed tired and the service could have been more orderly—such as ask what we would like to drink and serve beverages first, then deliver pastries, fresh flowers on the table—lovely but they should have been changed more often. Just details. Took a cooking class—very enjoyable. Worthwhile.

Shower tile should be scrubbed. Room needed to be renovated because it was outdated especially for a five star.

The hotel is lovely, the room exquisite, linens luxurious, the grounds fabulous, and the breakfast delicious and extravagant. Reception staff were gracious and helpful. Direct access to the Valley of the Templi is a plus. Our experience with the hotel was 5* however the restaurant for lunch or dinner couldn’t have been more disappointing.

Lunch and dinner at the hotel are close to inedible. It’s hard to imagine the food being worse. The breads and appetizers were wonderful but the mains, although beautifully plated were like high school cafeteria food.

The property is beautiful, and it’s such a unique and special location within the archeological park! The view of the temple lit up at night from our room was stunning. There’s ample parking on site, and the hotel sells park tickets and has its own private entrance to the park, which is a nice perk. The breakfast was also very impressive. The room was very comfortable. It was not pool season at the time of our visit, but the pool looked beautiful and also had amazing views of the Temple of Concordia, so would be really great in the summer. I would highly recommend staying here!

Everything was great!

Luxury hotel in a unique location in the Valley of the temples, to which the hotel has its own private access. Every aspect of the hotel was first-class with great attention to detail. Every member of staff was most welcoming and highly professional in their work, as you would expect. The food, wine and service in the Terrazzo degli dei restaurant was also of the highest standard. My room, 104, had a fabulous view of the Temple of Concordia.

Nothing

Can't beat the view with private access to temples. We loved the suite and the grounds. Short stay so didn't use the pool but looked lovely

The restaurant. Staff was not very welcoming and friendly. We were placed at a table next to the fish car so we asked to be placed somewhere else because of the smell. Even though there were better tables available we were placed at a table with a view directly into the pantry/staff area with the staff walking past our table continuously. Not very relaxing and didn't like the vibe of the restaurant. Staff came across quite stressed
