Villa Athena Hotel
With a wonderful view of the Temple of Concordia from every room
Villa Athena Hotel has an astounding position within a stone’s throw of the magnificent Temple of Concordia, part of the Unesco World Heritage Site of the Valley of Temples, just outside Agrigento. The hotel is a handsome 120-year-old villa set in pretty landscaped gardens with a restaurant, a bar, an outside pool and amazing views of the temple.
Recently extended in sympathy with the original building, Villa Athena Hotel offers a delightful collection of rooms and suites tastefully decorated in designer fabrics and furnishings. Some rooms even have a fitness area and spa facilities.
Rise early and take advantage of Villa Athena Hotel’s location by walking to the archaeological site of the temples before the crowds visit. Later, sit in the garden with a cold glass of limoncello amid the lemon trees and view the temple on the hill. Following dinner in the restaurant, look at the temple yet again, illuminated in the night sky, from the balcony in your room.
