Very beautiful hotel, with lovely rooms, excellent service (special thanks to Francesco), and a beautiful swimming pool.
It is ideally located near the Valley of the Temples (with breathtaking views from the hotel), as well as the old town, San Leone, the beaches, and the white cliffs of Scala dei Turchi.
The only downsides were the bed, which was much too firm, and the fact that the air conditioning could not be set below a certain temperature because it was controlled by the front desk.

If you’re visiting the Valley of the Temples and nearby sights, this hotel’s location inside the archaeological park is a real plus. That said, there are other hotel options just a 5-10 minute drive away.

As for the 5-star and SLH label, it feels like a stretch. Yes, there’s a pool, a restaurant, and a gym, but the rooms and overall experience don’t really live up to that rating. You’re paying a premium mainly for the in-park location. Staff were pleasant enough, but compared to other hotels in Sicily, I wouldn’t call this a true 5-star property.

The property is in a fabulous position overlooking the Valley of the Temples. The food and service at the hotel was excellent. The major problem is that the property is really, really badly in need of renovation. Our room which has a wonderful view was shabby and I do mean shabby.....floor tiles broken, door handles loose, overall very poor maintenance and repair. I would estimate that the last time the room and property were renovated was 30+years ago. Its a shame as it could be a wonderful hotel but the owners are simply cashing in on its location.

Absolutely perfectly located to visit the valley of the temples. The temples are visible from everywhere around the property. The facilities of the hotel are excellent - pool, Turkish shower in the room, etc…. Don’t expect a late checkout during high season. The restaurant was so-so and very expensive, especially for children’s meals. Take advantage of direct accesses to the Archeologic park from the property by buying your ticket/tour from the hotel and enjoy a 15 minute hike through an orchard and into the park.

The property is beautiful, and the check-in was great. The room itself was lovely, with a lovely view. Unfortunately, the hotel centrally controls the room temperature and had switched to heat-only mode for the season. This made our room far too hot for a good night’s sleep. Even with the windows open, the temperature remained over 25 degrees Celsius at night. We spoke to the front desk multiple times over our two-day stay, and they promised to get back to us, but no one ever did. Despite the beautiful property, we felt the customer service at the hotel and restaurants was lacking.

This hotel alone is reason enough to visit the Valley of the Temples. From the moment you step through the door, the magic begins.

The most important thing to know: book a room with a temple view — no matter the price. That view will become one of your most unforgettable memories of Sicily as a whole.

The hotel has direct access to the entire archaeological park, and the entrance is not only convenient but also scenic, leading through a charming tree-lined path.

Set aside at least an hour for breakfast — it's a full experience in itself, again with a breathtaking view of the temple.

The entire hotel is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The rooms are brand new, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with every detail carefully thought out: ultra-fast Wi-Fi, strong water pressure in the shower, perfect mattresses, excellent soundproofing.

There’s also a picturesque pool, and throughout the hotel you’ll hear beautiful music playing in different corners, adding to the overall sense of peace and elegance.

We felt like VIP’s!

The stay we had at this beautiful resort will live large in our minds forever. We had a wonderful stay. The location literally on the grounds of the archaeological park could not be better- with their own private entrance path through the olive trees taking you inside the park…our room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The view from our room of the temple was amazing and truly unforgettable . There are so many activities offered to take advantage of if you have the time- must not miss! From walking the olive orchard and olive themed lunch to spa services- even horse riding to cooking classes of classic Sicilian foods. We enjoyed a delicious lunch with our jovial host Giovanni in the chef’s garden that was like something out of a movie. The food was incredible and truly authentic Sicilian delights and i am running out of adjectives to express the level of quality and high level hospitality that was offered to us. Incredible hosts and service on every level. The restaurant meals were beautifully prepared and local local local! Best quality! AnnaMaria arranged a lunch for us at the Scala de Turchi and it was fantastic service and delicious food in the most stunning location! I could go on and on about how special the staff made us feel. So warm and hospitable. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! We will definitely go back again and stay longer and we HIGHLY recommend this piece of indulgence among the Greek temples and Agrigentan countryside.

We had an incredible stay at Villa Athena Resort! From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself is absolutely stunning, and we were immediately taken by the beauty of the surroundings. Finding parking was easy, and we were happy that it was complimentary.

Upon check-in, we were warmly greeted with drinks, and the check-in process was handled seamlessly. Even better, our luggage had already been delivered to our room by the time we arrived, which made the start of our stay even more relaxing.

The views from our room were breathtaking, especially at night when the Concordia lit up the sky. The next morning, we had breakfast in the neighboring building, and the entrance was a see-through cover over ancient ruins – super cool.

We were able to get tickets to Valley of the Temples from the resort. The ease of access via a private entrance at the resort was a bonus. As we walked to the Valley from the private entrance, we admired the thousands of wild flowers lining the path.

This resort offers an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a blend of luxury, history, and convenience. We’ll definitely be back and plan to stay longer next time!

Lovely upscale small hotel where staff was friendly and did everything to make you feel comfortable. If you’re staying in Agrigento, you’re coming to see the Valley of the Temples. This is the only hotel in the Valley itself, a 5-10 minute walk to the temples, and to the excellent archaeological museum.
Our junior suite was spacious, clean, comfortable and came with its own several hundred year old olive tree. Also, the price was reasonable but that may be in the off season

Later we sat on the terrace outside our room and watched as the day turned to night and temple became illuminated. Pool and landscaping were lovely and so were the rooms.
