Agrigento Hotels

Agrigento's Hotel Villa Athena has rooms with a view of the Temple of Concordia.

Lodging options in Agrigento

There's nothing of note in the town of Agrigento itself, so do yourself a favor and stay in the fabled Valley of the Temples—though if you don't have a car, that might be a bit limiting, so perhaps staying in town would be better for those arriving by public transportation.

Best Agrigento hotels—In the Valley of the Temples

For years, the Villa Athena was the only lodging actually in the Valley of the Temples. A few more have since sprung up, and make excellent alternatives.

★★★ Hotel Villa Athena [€€€]

Splurge shmulrge, this 18th-century villa would be a steal at any price. It may have the most fantastic location of any hotel in Italy: within the Valley of the Temples archaeological park, directly across an olive grove from the Temple of Concord, whose practically perfect Doric profile is framed by the windows of half the rooms (best from rooms 302–304 or 202–206).

★★ Guest House Villa San Marco [€€]

Budgeteers rejoice! No longer do you have to splurge on the Villa Athena (above) to stay in the Valley of the Temples. This little B&B set amid the almond trees lies just in front of the ridge of Via Sacra, with excellent views across the ruins to the standing columns of the nearby Temple of Heracles. OK, so that's not the poster child Temple of Concord—though you can see that from the property as well. However, since rooms at the Villa Athena start at €99 (and can go up to €189—with suites up to €299), and double rooms here start at just €59 (going up to a high of €90)

Hotels in town

Hotel Exclusive

Modern boutique hotel with only seven lovely, designer-style rooms and thoroughly reasonable prices just across the the train station. If nothing else, it is certainly convenient—though things like the excellent service, free WiFi, and nice touches like a free welcome bottle of wine and chocolates on the pillows help it stand out. Probably the best choice for those arriving by public transportation (bus or train).

Hotel Concordia [€€]

The Concordia is the eternally favorite inexpensive inn of Agrigento. It's family run and it feels like it, with by far the warmest reception in town. And although the cots are lazy-springed and the baths cramped, the modestly sized rooms are kept clean, the modular veneer furnishings nice enough, and the stuccoed walls repainted regularly. There's also a terrific trattoria just downstairs: La Forchetta.

Hotel Bella Napoli [€]

It's not a bad budget joint, but it’s a far cry from the Concordia (above). The almost cell-like rooms are exceedingly plain, with functional furnishings of various ages and states of disrepair, and ceiling lamps that look like leftovers from the War of the Worlds film set. The tile floors are clean, though, and it's in a quiet part of town at great, pensione prices. However, the cots springs are on their last legs. The phones aren't direct dial, but the bored staff at the front desk will ring you through.

If you can't find space at the hotels above, rooms 32–35 at the Hotel Belvedere [€–€€], Via S. Vito 20 (tel. 0922-20-051), live up to the hotel’s name with vistas over the Valley of Temples. There are no amenities, but it's clean, if a bit down at the heels.
