Vento di Tramontana

The place is a real italian pearl! It really gives the feeling of an authentic italian middle class home. Everything is immaculate, beautifully arranged and very well decorated. The kitchen is well equipped with the most necessary spices. Unique experience!

It was just nice. :) There is a pump in the bathroom which is draining off the sewage I believe. It turns on occasionally but not disturbing in my opinion.

Host Rosa was very helpful and flexible on timing for check-in. The apartment rooms are spacious and well maintained, with a comfortable bed and well-equipped bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked (self-serve for breakfast - fruit, pastries, milk, cereal, tea/coffee etc). Helpful instructions (in English) for what to see and do in Agrigento including a good local pizzeria. Location excellent for walking up through the old city to the cathedral etc. Excellent value for money!

The interior decoration was beautiful, somewhat out of the 60s maybe? The bathroom was very comfy, and the view from the well-equipped kitchen balcony was pastoral.

The host was lovely! When we arrived the tables were all set up for breakfast and coffee! The apartment is very sunny and has a good view from the kitchen window! The bathroom is big and clean! The bed was large and comfortable. We managed to find a free park right outside the building. The bathroom was set up more for a bath then shower, but we managed fine. The interior is very traditionally decorated.

Friendly Owner, everything’s perfect

Enjoyed good, comfortable bed. The spacious, clean apartment furnished beautifully traditionally with ample pots, pans & utensils to cook, and ample choice of breakfast options and drinks including a delicious, home made traditional Sicilian treat by Rosa was lovely. We had a private bathroom and kitchen facilities as no one else had booked to stay in the other 3 bedrooms the apartment has available. There were 2 bathrooms in the apartment total, one at each end. Would be great to house a large family or group of friends travelling together! Had views from the large, outdoor balcony of both the Mediterranean and in the morning, I found the view of Juno Temple which is lit up after dark (in the Valley of the Temples)! Only a few minutes drive from the Valley of the Temples and centre of historic Agrigento. Very accommodating, as Rosa happily met us at the apartment door on the 8th floor out of the B&B's limited 2 hour check in period.

Difficult to locate as car rental GPS didn't work well (took us down narrow 1 way streets...); building is among numerous tall apartment buildings in this city. Small sign on exterior of large 10 storey apt. bldg. (can only read while walking), door bell sign not easy to pick out of other residents (it's on the right a few down; perhaps on red or different colour paper or typed would be easier to read by foreign language speakers?) Street parking was really by chance or luck as no space specific to room/apartment and in a very high density, congested area. Farther from sites, restaurants and corner stores than expected and all up hill sometimes through a very narrow right angle traffic tunnel on foot. Elevator services a very large building so long waits to get to your floor and can't see the floor number in the hall when you are leaving the elevator. Elevator would pass by your floor while you wait for a ride up or down! Uncomfortable using as we aren't big city people, but have travelled many large centres all over Europe, North and South Americas and Africa. Never did find any close place to buy drinks, snacks or meals during our short overnight stay. Would be great if owners would recommend and leave directions to get to such options. Internet was difficult to get when the greeter, Rosa was with us initially. We finally got briefly but only lasted about 30 seconds & was never available again though it showed as "connected". After Rosa, left there was NO INTERNET at all for the entire rest of our stay which was VERY frustrating for communication home, research and planning for next routes, tour, road maps, evening entertainment... and unable to book last few nights stays in Sicily. Minimal stations available on television; no international news available nor entertainment on TV except only 1 which visually came in clearly, in Italian.

host is a lovely welcoming person. bedroom very comfortable with a classic design. kitchen supplied with an array of tasty breakfast… nice coffee too. can see the temples from the kitchen balcony.. good lift for 8th floor. plenty of parking spaces. good Wi-Fi
