Thought it was fab. We were there off-season (Nov. 25) but still liked our stay. I even went for a swim at the bottom of the staircase leading down to the water a block from the hotel. We stayed in Room 9 which has an attached balcony with water views. Fantastic.

Beautiful Ortigia
A fabulous hotel in the center of beautiful Ortigia. We had a lovely room with a terrace view of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful. Their recommendations for restaurants were outstanding. We loved the food at Clandestino and aLevante—truly works of art & taste.

The staff was very helpful, nice and accommodating. The room was large and comfortable. The location is very central. Parking was available but driving in Agrigento like in all the Sicilian cities was a challenge. The value was very good for the money spent.
