    The view from the balcony was perfect. We looked down on the Valley of the Temples and the ocean during the day and during the night we got a bottle of wine and relaxed on the balcony. The owners were very responsive and instructions worked without any problems. The property is situated between the bus station and the rail station, not more than a 5-10 minute walk. The property lies at the beginning of the old town, which we walked all around in and found an amazing overlook. We got a referral by Sandra to one of the best meals we have had in Sicily at the Manhattan restaurant, which is right in front of the property up a few steps. Sandra was helpful in every way and couldn’t have stayed at a better place.

    The steps up to the terrace can be a little uneven in height, but we noticed that as we were maneuvering them.

    The room was spacious, clean, and charming. The terrace balcony was delightful. One side of the balcony has a distant view of the Temples and the sea. The other side of the balcony is covered by a pergola, has lots of plants, and provides a cheery view of the cityscape - it was a great place to enjoy the free breakfast coffee, cereal, and yogurt. We were able to do remote check-in and check-out which was helpful given our schedule trying to see the Temples and find parking on a Saturday night. The area is the place to be on a Saturday night and we delighted in all the families out to enjoy themselves. We found a table at a restaurant downstairs and had a delightful and delicious meal.

    We are satisfied with our stay. We wandered around a bit during rush hour to find a parking space. We were placed in the fourth apartment, which was on the quiet side of the street. On the smart side there is loud music and parties until 1.00 am. on the bed there is a wooden backrest that slams into the wall, it is good to grab it with silicone or something. The terrace is phenomenal. The bathroom is great. The entrance hall and the gifts for eating and drinking are great!

    The room was lovely: large, clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect, especially for anyone arriving by train or bus. We noticed many other BnBs are on streets with steep steps. The rooftop terrace has an amazing view of Valley of the Temples and is a great spot to relax at any time of day. Sandra is an exceptional host. Thank you!

    Sandra was great to deal with. Booked us into our room early, we arrived on the train from Palermo around 10am Beautiful room, very comfortable bed. Two gorgeous balconies looking out on the street. Upstairs on the terrace was awesome. We took some drinks up there and sat outside as the sun went down looking out towards the sea. Also up on the terrace was a complete kitchen for the guests to use, stove, microwave, fridge, freezer, coffee pod machine, cereal, yoghurt, bottled water, milk, juices, just excellent. Definitely worth staying! Read about it in lonely planet 5-10 minute easy walk to station and buses. Restaurants everywhere!

    Slightly confusing as advertised as a bed and breakfast although tea, coffee etc available 24/7 there isn't really a breakfast option which wasn't a problem but maybe could be clearer

    Great place to stay in agrigento. Really centrally located. We had 2 lovely big bedrooms with balconies. Great roof terrace with view over Valley of the Temples. Tea, coffee water, orange juice available in the little kitchen on the roof terrace. Host very nice and helpful

    There wasn’t anything i didn’t like. The breakfast could be improved, eg offering dark bread or eggs (a bit more of a balanced diet).

    We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is very well located in the city center hut still quiet. The room is made daily, you have the option to hve breakfast there. The checkin was very simple, Sandra had shared the codes with us ahead of time so we could checkin independently. Highly recommended.

    Parking was a problem as it was a busy Saturday evening, and steep narrow stairs were inconvenient with suitcases, however these issues were minimal and far outweighed by the excellent accommodation.

    This B&B is in a perfect location right in the centre of town overlooking the main ‘promenade’. The room had two balconies opening to lovely city views, but with double double glazing doors so when you closed them there was no sound inside. The room was modern and impeccably presented and clean. Sandra provided good instructions for access, and Fillipo was a great host for breakfast. The rooftop terrace overlooking the Valley of the Temples was wonderful for sunset drinks and also for breakfast. Breakfast met our needs and was very adequate. Overall a high quality accommodation better than what we had experienced in two weeks prior in Sicily.

    To our tastes, the beds were a bit too hard and the pillows too soft. It would have been better if the shampoo and showergel were provided in a dispenser instead of small plastic sacks.

    The location of the B&B is very central: close to the old town and numerous bars and restaurants around the corner. Our room was quite spacious. The breakfast was good and the view was excellent.

    Great location, close to Agrigento Railway Station, overlooking the main street of the city (Via Atenea) with a great selection of bars and eateries nearby. Good view from the rooftop terrace over the valley of the temples towards the Mediterranean Sea as well. My stay coincided with Agrigento's annual "Almond Blossom Festival" and some of the parades went straight past the B&B.

    This is a fantastic location in the heart of the pedestrian zone, close to many sights, restaurants, shops and street activity. Loved opening the windows to hear and see the buzz below, but once the windows were closed, not a sound came in; the room was completely quiet, and the shutters were truly effective in cutting the outside lights. The room was very nicely appointed and comfortable. Very comfortable bed. A very good breakfast on the rooftop terrace, which has a lovely view. Sanda, was a very engaging and helpful host. There is no lift in this building, but that should not be an issue for even a moderately fit person. With all the fine dining available in Sicily, a few flights of stairs from time to time are a welcome reprieve. If our travels bring us back to Agrigento in the future, this is the place.
