Though Agrigento is a modern city of about 60,000 on Sicily’s southwest coast, the majority of visitors come to experience the past just outside of town. At the Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi), citizens of the then-major Greek colony of Akragras began building seven Doric style holy monuments in the sixth century BC. The nearby Archaeological Museum helps put everything into context. Agrigento also has some fascinating sights in its old town, like the medieval Norman cathedral.

We stayed for two nights recently to visit Agrigento and were very well looked after. Our room was spacious and beautifully furnished with a terrace and breakfast was a feast with lots of local and home made delicacies. Car required.

Colle dei Rustici is a wonderful holiday home, a country divided into three elegant and stately apartments. It is 2 kilometers from the Valley of the Temples, about 6 minutes from beaches and clear sea. Apartments for 2, 4 and 6 beds, equipped with all amenities to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable.
Booked this one night stay in hopes of touring the temples the next morning. The room was nice, updated and clean. The location was a little more isolated than I anticipated. Each home in the neighborhood had a gate you had a lock and unlock each time you entered property. Our booking did not include breakfast but the host graciously offered us breakfast at check out. Breakfast was served outside by the pool and was lovely.

This B&B is really nice, But when we stayed there was not all the facilities that were advertised. No bar, no shop, no water park and the breakfast was nothing like the photos. When we arrived, no one was around, we had to phone the owner, he arrived 15 mins later. No apology and never helped my husband carry the suitcases up 3 flights of stairs. The young lady who I think was his relative was lovely. She was around in the mornings. The B&B is a 5/10 min walk to the sea, but at least 15 mins to the bars and restaurants.

B&B Villa San Marco is an "agriturismo" and working farm that is literally right next to the Agrigento Archaeological park. We spent three nights here and loved the experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the multi-generational family that runs the B&B is wonderful. The breakfast consists of delicious foods -- most made from ingredients produced on the farm -- lightly sauteed zucchini and tomato slices, almonds, cheeses, croissants with sweetened ricotta or a tasty citrus marmalade, orange juice that is fresh squeezed from their fruit trees, and more. There are a wide range of animals on the property, from peacocks to chickens, a donkey, sheep, geese, hamsters, songbirds, and pigs to name a few. Definitely a unique way to spend time in Agrigento!

Una bellissima casetta a pochi passi dal mare e con una terrazza spettacolare. Stanze pulite e profumate. Inoltre la proprietaria, ovvero la Signora Ilenia, si è dimostrata molto gentile e disponibile. Tornerò presto

Disappointing accommodation in village out of Agrigento. We stayed here because it had secure parking and we could catch a bus into the valley of the temples. However, our hostess had no idea of bus times, or where the bus stop was, so in the end, we drove our car to the site, as it was about 10 km to the site. The pros: free parking, ok wifi, cooking facilities. The cons: hard to find unless you have good directions, room not very clean or well appointed, no toiletries, no coffee maker, no keys, no bottled water as they advised us not to drink from the tap, owner spoke no English and it was hard to make ourselves understood, hard to locate owner when we needed to eg to get the keys to our room, no tourist advice, owner not very interested in being helpful, no screens on the windows but lots of mozzies, so so breakfast. Located in a dirty residential area of a charmless town. No restaurants close by. Not good value compared to other B&Bs.

The host was very kind and helpful.The beach was sandy and beautiful. The hair dryer did not work well. The toilet room was very small.
