Villa Athena Resort Review
Placed just 650 metres from Valley of the Temples National Monument, the 5-star Hotel Villa Athena Agrigento includes 27 rooms with views of the garden. Offering 2 onsite restaurants with seafood, Sicilian and Mediterranean cuisine, this Agrigento hotel is set within 10 minutes' drive of Valle dei Templi.
The luxury Villa Athena includes a restaurant that is open for a buffet breakfast. The Sicilian La Terrazza degli Dei restaurant offers a wide assortment of seafood dishes. To cater to every palate, it offers a vegetarian menu. Guests can relax and have a snack in the pool bar. There is a seafood restaurant serving Mediterranean food about a 20-minute walk away.
The crumbled Temple of Olympian Zeus Ruin is nearly 10 minutes on foot from the pet-friendly property which is also a minute away from the greek Temple of Heracles. The Villa Athena Agrigento in the historic district of Agrigento is located within a 5-minute walk of Akragas.
Standing only an 8-minute walk away, the ancient Temple of Concordia is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.
All of the air-conditioned rooms are appointed with a TV set along with a minibar, and some of them comprise an adjoining terrace and a balcony. Guests can use a spa bathtub and a hot tub together with a hairdryer.
Museo Archeologico bus stop is set 10 minutes' walk away.
A seasonal outdoor pool and loungers are available for an additional charge. The Villa Athena also features a swimming pool along with hiking, horseback riding and skiing. Keeping fit is convenient for guests at the accommodation, thanks to a fitness studio that offers fitness classes. Wellness facilities include a wellness centre as well as a steam room, a solarium and a hot tub.
Impressions
During my recent visit to Sicily, I had the pleasure of staying at the luxurious Villa Athena Resort. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm welcome drink and knew that I was in for a truly exceptional experience. The resort offered a variety of services to ensure that all of my needs were met, including room service, housekeeping, and laundry.
One of the standout services at the Villa Athena Resort was the paid shuttle service, which made getting around the area incredibly convenient. Additionally, the resort offered valet parking, making it easy to come and go as I pleased without having to worry about finding a parking spot. I also took advantage of the tours/ticket assistance, which helped me plan and make the most of my time in Sicily.
the attention to detail and the range of services at the Villa Athena Resort truly set it apart from other accommodations. Whether I was relaxing in my beautifully appointed room or exploring the stunning surroundings, I felt well taken care of thanks to the thoughtful amenities and exceptional service. I would highly recommend the Villa Athena Resort to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable getaway.
