B&B Villa del Sole Relais

Great location for being closer to the Temples and having an ‘out of town’ experience. Also a lovely home cooked selection of sweet and savoury offerings.

A sign said no smoking in rooms and all common areas but people were smoking on the next door balcony and outside the breakfast room. The room decor felt a little tired and in need of refurbishment.

Lovely room with terrace and view over the pool. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast with home baked bread and cakes. Unfortunately as we only stayed for one night we didn’t have time to use the pool but it looked very inviting.

Nothing

This is a lovely property just outside of Agrigento with comfortable, well appointed rooms and wonderful pool to take a dip in. Owners were kind and helpful with information on the area, restaurants (try the Bresoala pizza at Opera), and tips for the Valley of the Temples. You do need a car, unless you want to pay for taxis etc. as it is outside of the city. Parking was gated and private. Room was very comfortable, shower had great water pressure and was spacious. Breakfast was amazing, with fresh baked cakes and other goodies both sweet and savory. Our best breakfast of the trip. It was a joy to just sit on the breakfast patio and enjoy the morning. The owners clearly take pride in their B&B and hosting the guests that stay there. Wish we had stayed two nights, not just one! Just stay here and enjoy the beauty of the place, the breakfast and a dip in the pool before or after your visit to the temples.

There were some issues with electricity and a power outage late at night, which turned off the air conditioning. We were there during a particularly hot time so air conditioning was essential. The problem was fixed fairly quickly though and I think it was likely just a random happening.

Nothing particular.

Very dated. Needs updating. Average breakfast but particularly poor for my wife who is gluten intolerant. I did mention this before we arrived and I was told gluten free food would be available but only gluten free biscuits offered as “gluten free”specific food. In addition we were told not to flush dirty toilet paper down the toilet but put into a basket. Very unhygienic. Finally the location was poor. I know we were out of the centre but due to a busy road with no footpaths you couldn’t even walk to a local shop.
