Villa Athena Resort

Fabolous

You cannot beat this location- looking at the temple of Concordia from everywhere on property and using the private path to access the site- fantastic. The swimming pool was great, breakfast was plentiful but for the room price I feel the quality of the food could be better especially the bread and pastries. Most of the staff were helpful.

I have mixed feelings about the Sicilian BBQ dinner. The location in the vegetable garden with temple view is fantastic as is sharing the long table with the other guests. What we all remarked on was the choice of music played- the theme from the Godfather- seriously? Plus other shmaltzy American pseudo Italian songs. We were in Sicily, looking for authentic Sicilian music and experiences not a canned fake Italian experience you might get in Vegas. The maitre d’ was really hamming up the sort of Hollywood Italian accent etc which was off putting. Also, the amount of food was over the top and there was a lot of waste, I feel like the management could cut down the amount of meat served- 2 heaping plates each - it was too much, although very tasty. The side dishes and bread served were not really very good which is saying something in a region with such incredible food.

Proximity to the temples and views were wonderful. Food was fantastic

Nothing

Very relaxing place.

Location, pool, breakfast and dinner

Somewhat overpriced.

Nice Pool area, Good Breakfast and clean. desk staff pleasant and helpful.

Room was cold as very windy during the stay and the corridor external doors were consistently left open. Balcony needed some design element adding as no view and not a great place to sit. Hot tub out of action
