Monastero Santo Spirito

Accueil peu chaleureux, pas d'eau chaude dans une chambre (on n'est pas prévenu), petite déjeuner très spartiate, exige le paiement en liquide, murs très fins donc bruit

ho pernottato con alcuni amici al monastero nel corso di una visita alla provincia di Agrigento. La posizione è ottimale, sebbene si può avere qualche difficoltà a raggiungere il monastero, più che per le strade strette per le macchine parcheggiate lungo la strada già stretta. La struttura è molto pulita è posizionata perfettamente per visitare Agrigento. Purtroppo prima di soggiornare bisogna tener conto che chi gestisce la struttura non è un professionista; le suore fanno quanto è loro possibile, ma hanno dei forti limiti: Al nostro arrivo ci è stato detto che la prenotazione era stata rifiutata e che non vi erano stanze, sebbene non ci fosse arrivata alcuna mail o chiamata nei giorni precedenti . Dopo un'ora e mezza sono uscite fuori le stanze (non ho ancora capito chi avesse commesso l'errore). In due delle stanze prenotate non vi era acqua calda per un guasto e abbiamo dovuto fare una doccia fredda. Il guasto può ovviamente capitare ma avremmo gradito non scoprire il guasto all'atto della doccia. Inoltre quando siamo tornati dopo l'una di notte da un giro per Agrigento non vi era proprio acqua corrente, e onestamente anche qui avremmo gradito essere informati in precedenza. Consiglio vivamente di visitare la chiesa e il monastero annesso alla struttura. La chiesa in particolare è una tra le più belle del barocco siciliano visitabili in Sicilia.

Charmant B&B en plein coeur d'Agrigente. Accueil avec le sourire et une bouteille d'eau. Bon petit déjeuner avec dolci maison. Les soeurs sont super. Petite chambre très correcte et calme. Possibilité de garer la voiture dans la cour du Monastère ce qui est très appreciable et d'utiliser un cuisine. Attention cependant à l'accès difficile en voiture (rues étroites et escarpées)

I stayed at this BB couple of weeks ago for 10 days. It was very conveniently located in the historical centre, and also quite close (5-10 minutes walk) to the bus and train terminals. The nuns prepare delicious sweets based on local recipes, which they serve at breakfast. The big thing about the breakfast is that the guests have to share a large table, instead of sitting at small, separated tables, like usually is the case with other hotels. This leads to wonderful conversations among the travellers, and I personally have enjoyed many such great moments during my stay. Also very close to this location are major sites from the historic centre, mainly churches. By taking the bus from the bus terminal, one is within few minutes to many of the attractions outside Agrigento: Valley of the Temples (very close, it can even be reached by walking, but it requires a bit of it), then San Leone with its wonderful beaches, Casa di Luigi Pirandello, where the great writer was born, etc. The frequency is very reasonable, within 30 minutes - 1 hour of each other, and some lines even run on Sundays! This is quite rare here in Sicily. The sea is a light turquoise, a beautiful colour almost as far as the eyes can see, it just gets a little bit darker towards the horizon. This is another thing unique to what I've seen in Sicily so far. I would enjoy anytime staying at this BB again, it was very safe and btw: it has its own monastery complex, very old, to visit. The complex is magnificent!

Very late arrivals are not on the menu here. It is a B&B in part of a convent and is accessed by small covered windows and speaker phones. We stayed for 3 nights during which our room was not serviced. Breakfast was limited with no choice. However against the Convent is situated in the centre of town and walking or bus access to everywhere in the area is simple. We went to the Valley of the Temples on the local bus. This is a must-see of Sicily. The restaurants within walking distance are all excellent and friendly.

The place was very difficult to find and GPS took us to a totally impossible route, we had to send my husband walk to the hotel and walk backward from the hotel to the car which stuck in a small alley and figured out the road to get there. We booked two nights there, we only had one set of towel and no clean changing sheet, we made the bed our-self to have a neat bed. the bathroom smell bad, the floor rug is draggy. The only thing I learn is to live a simple life you can come here to appreciate what we have.

Très bon accueil, hébergement situé dans le centre historique d'Agrigente, à proximité des restaurants. Par contre, accès très difficile en voiture (rues étroites et nombreux sens uniques).

The monastery is perfectly located, if a bit difficult to find. You must obtain a permit to transit the limited access pedestrian road and the street is actually up an unmarked alleyway. That said, it is an ideal place to stay while visiting the Agrigento area. Everything you’ll want to see is a short stroll from the main piazza and center of town. Even if you stay at another hotel, you must visit the monastery to sample the nuns' Sicilian dolce or sweets; they are like no others in all of Italy. There are several different types - we purchased two of everything! Clean, quiet, and ideally located, we will stay there again during our next visit.

Wir (3 ältere Personen zwischen 55 und 66 Jahren) waren mit Leihauto auf Sizilientour und hatten eine Übernachtung in Monastero Santo Spirito. Die Unterkunft ist mit PKW sehr schwer zu finden: schlechte Ausschilderung und extrem schmale Gassen führen mitten in der Altstadt zum Kloster hinauf. Die Lage im Stadtzentrum begünstigt die Besichtigung von Agrigent.

stay was great, the nuns were very helpful and gave us many bedding options for the 5 of us. breakfast was simple but good with homemade pastries and great coffee. we had a GPS in the car, but it was too hard to find, so we called and a nun came to our rescue. little did we know the tiny winding street we were going to have to get a somewhat large car throughI do not recommend trying to drive to this place if you have anything but a compact car.
