- JOHN (10/5): Beautiful artist quarters - Views. Eclectic style. Location is great. Parking is a little challenging but doable.
- Angi2276 (9/5): - La vista dal balcone uno scorcio bellissimo.Nonostante è centrale c'è tranquillità. Ottima accoglienza con tutto ciò che serve per un breve soggiorno.
- Stefano (10/5): Dentro la storia - Struttura storica in pieno centro. Molto bella
- Brecht (10/5): - Dit is een perfect gelegen, comfortabel, stil en schoon appartment in Agrigento. Prijs-kwaliteit is erg voordelig en communicatie met de eigenaars verliep prima. Zeker een aanrader. Niks
- Kagan (8/5): Eine tolle Wohnung in einer sehr guten und ruhigen Lage. Gleichzeitig alles super erreichbar. - Die Lage war sehr gut. Direkt in der Altstadt. Alles fußläufig zu erreichen. Im Großen und Ganzen war die Wohnung sauber. Bis auf Kleinigkeiten könnte es besser werden. Einige Sachen waren schon veraltet bzw. defekt, zum Beispiel die Verteiler für die Steckdosen. Aber es war ausreichend Reserve vorhanden.

- Silvia (10/5): -
- Francisco JAVIER (8/5): -
- Jay (10/5): -
- Astrid & Hsrvey (7/5): - Great location near pedestrian walkway and close to restaurants, etc. The room was a bit chilly for us and it took a long while before it gets warmed up.

- Jean-Michel (10/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Breac (10/5): -
- David (5/5): I was in and out in less than 24 hours. It served my goal of a place to sleep but it might have been much better - It was well located in the the center of the historic city The lightbulbs gave practically no light. In general the room and bath were somewhat rundown.
- Marion (10/5): Très beau séjour de découvertes - Chambre triple magnifique avec vu sur la mer dans un appartement ancien avec escalier marbre et chambre avec plafond avec des dessins qui s'accordent au carrelage du parterre. Vraiment très beau!! Rien
- Lara (10/5): - Das Zimmer hatte durch seine tollem Fliesen, das beeindruckende Deckgemälde und die antiken Möbel einen ganz besonderen Charme. Der Ausblick sucht seines gleichen. Wir würden jederzeit zurück kommen!
Die Besitzerin haben wir erst beim Check Out kurz gesehen, es hat aber alles super geklappt, deswegen hat uns das nicht weiter gestört.

- Stewart (9/5): -
- Mathilde (9/5): - Emplacement,.propreté, calme La rue remplie de pipi et caca de chat
- Scott (9/5): -
- Maureen (10/5): A beautiful room in Agrigento. - One of the loveliest rooms I have ever seen at a guest house. Large, clean, comfortable, and the ceiling mural is something out of a historical museum. The host was kind, refilled the coffee regularly, and treated us like family. I highly recommend!! A suggestion: provide glasses, plates, and cutlery for guests bringing food back to the room. 🙂
- Camelia (10/5): Loved the historic character of the building -
- Margot (10/5): - The view! The simple palatial feel of the place. Nice and clean.
Helpful MariaRita. Great location too.
Sitting playing scrabble on a Sunday, it was so quiet. Everything was fine.
- Fangzhu (10/5): - Located in a very central location, very nice and unique room, the host is friendly.
- Mario (8/5): Agrigento corazón - La ubicación es excelente, a 100 metros de la peatonal del centro histórico de Agrigento. El personal nos compartió información de varios lugares para comer y beber, y también guías en papel con lugares turísticos.
- ESTHER (7/5): Correcto - Bien ubicado y habitación con mucho encanto. Es una habitación con frescos en el techo muy bonitos No es un bed and breakfast, tienen unas galletitas y para tomar café o te pero nada más, hubiese escogido otra cosa de saber ésto
- Van der Fraenen (9/5): Heel aangenaam. - Het is een pracht locatie. De restauratie is heel mooi gedaan . De slaapkamer was super groot. Geen idee.
- melania (6/5): - era presente una macchina per caffè e un bollitore la stradina di accesso all'alloggio era molto sporca e maleodorante per la presenza di escrementi di piccioni e piume, e anche il davanzale della stanza
- Lucia (9/5): -
- Carmelo Secondo (10/5): - Tutto perfetto
- Alfonso (7/5): -
- Janice (10/5): Die perfekte Lage für einen Aufenthalt in Agrigento - Gute Lage, sehr sauber, Kaffee- & Wassertheke jederzeit nutzbar
- Elisa (9/5): - La stanza grandissima e molto bella,come quelle di una volta,con soffitti alti, pulita, letti comodi e anche il bagno con tutto il necessario. Nella stanza comune giu' all'ingresso è anche possibile usufruire di una prima colazione non prevista. Staff accogliente e preciso. Mi è piaciuto tutto.
- Paola (8/5): - Posizione ottima. Host gentilissima. Manutenzione della camera. Il bagno ha il soffitto scrostato per umidità. Prese elettriche non tutte funzionanti.
- chiara (10/5): - L'alloggio si trova nel cuore di Agrigento, ottima Los facilmente raggiungibile con le indicazioni della proprietaria, che è stata molto disponibile a fornirci indicazioni sul posto e sui locali. La camera è all' interno di una dimora originale dell' 800, molto curata e ampia, un contesto particolare che merita di essere vissuto!
- Brenda (10/5): Un Angolino Panoramico ad Agrigento - MariaRita è stata una bravissima padrona di casa. Ci ha accolto anche con un po’ di ore di ritardo. Ci ha consigliato benissimo in ogni cosa. La stanza era ENORME, la sera si vedeva anche la valle dei templi illuminata, e il mare con un riflesso di luna pazzesco!
Sicuramente se dovrò tornare ad Agrigento, alloggerò qui! Grazie Nulla.
- matteo (8/5): -
- Vincenzo70 (10/5): Soddisfatto - Stanza in un b&b proprio vicino al bel corso di Agrigento quindi zona comoda e strategica, stanza pulita e grande. Nulla!
- Emily (8/5): -
- PEI-FEN (10/5): -
- Robin (10/5): Exceptional - Check in was a breeze and the staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. Upon check in I was given a list of restaurants in the area that they recommended. If I had a question or problem they responded right away. Great hassle free stay and a great value.
- Ginette (10/5): - We had a delightful stay at this beautiful facility while we visited Agrigento. The location is conveniently right in the middle of the main strip with historical buildings, shopping and restaurants in all four directions. The rooms were spacious, clean and well furnished. Communications were exemplary, from clear directions for parking and arriving, to an array of information on local activities. Overall, an excellent stay worth revisiting.
- Irving (10/5): Beautiful room, excellent location - Great location at the end of the main street of the old town. Easy walk from train station and to the bus for the Valley of the Temples. Easy access to excellent restaurants.
- Margot (10/5): - Very nice hostess.
- Signe (8/5): Lovely stay, only parking could be an issue - Generally a lovely place. Located behind the main street, many restaurants and shops close by.
We thought breakfast was incl but it was not. There was a lovely bakery relatively near by, so it was not a problem.
It is 45min walk to the valley of temples, since the hotel is located in the city. We had considered taking the car, however due to the extremely full parking lot (which we had already paid to stay in over night), we did not want to risk losing the spot.
I advice, if you are by car, arrive as early as possible in the morning to secure a spot.
For food, there is a restaurant nearby (the name something with opera), that had a lovely view over the temple of valley. The food was absolutely amazing.
- Malcolm (9/5): Superb -
- Haley (10/5): - We loved our stay here! Our room was very spacious (even for 2 adults and 2 children!), with beautiful views. We loved the location, just off a street with lots of restaurants and shops, but still surprisingly quiet. Our hostess made the check in process very easy. There is a short walk from the parking lot, but it is inexpensive and easy (we paid 3€ to park overnight). We would stay here again!
- Jordan (10/5): - Great
- Man (9/5): Superb - The room design is very classic. And u can have a nice sea view in the balcony and also in the bed. The location is very central. The parking lot ( Vittorio Emanuel square) they suggested are really a best place to park, it’s free during the night and part of the day time. The indoor temperature is cooler than I expected.
- Broderick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Douwe (7/5): Pleasant enough stay in historic center of Agrigento - Simple, not expensive room in a characteristic building. Great location, very near the central street in historic Agrigento. Adequate room and bathroom, we did not need more for our one-night stay. Coffee, tea and cookies on offering in a nice communal space was a nice touch. Check-in was smooth but impersonal, we never saw our host. Communication through WhatsApp was fine though.
Communal space was a bit messy and there were not enough coffee pads for everybody, bit of a first come first serve basis.
Door of our room didn't stay closed without locking.
- Mariz (10/5): We enjoyed the stay. Wouldn’t expect a lot for the price we paid. - The location is excellent. It is right in the middle of the town. The owner was very communicative and nice. You’re allowed to leave your luggage by the reception when you check out. The facilities are outdated. It could use some update.
- Julien (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful room, very nicely placed.
The comfort is optimal and the room was in a calm street with a view over the sea.
Loved it !
- Niyazi (9/5): A place to stay in - In the hearth of the city
Staff / owner is very friendly None
- Juraj (7/5): Good - Nice personal Parking is 10 minutes walking…
- Michelle (10/5): Lovely large and spacious room - Nice location None
- Vojtěch (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eduardo (8/5): - Had a very good stay and staff was very helpful in all matters. Property was very clean and well kept. Location near city historic center is very good but at the same time somewhat complicated if you are driving due to parking restrictions, especially if you have luggage to unload and load.
- Claudia (10/5): - La stanza era molto grande e pulita. La struttura si trova in un edificio storico molto caratteristico e ben tenuto. Non c'è l'ascensore, ma le scale sono comode. La vista dalla nostra stanza era spettacolare, si trovava al primo piano ma data la conformazione della città si affacciava sulla valle. La proprietaria molto gentile e disponibile. Non è possibile parcheggiare sotto l'alloggio ma a breve distanza (5-10 minuti a piedi) c'è un parcheggio grande a pagamento, molto economico (gratis la notte).
- Geraldine (8/5): Perfect halt for a 1 night-stop to visit the temples - Well located in the city center, very simple and large room. The host was kind to help is and allowed us to leave our luggage for free. The beds were a bit hard for us and the shower was clogged, but it was minor issues. we stayed less than 24hrs so we did not mind
- Behice (6/5): Pleasant - Angela was communicative and helpful to find our direction to the location. The location was central but not the best place to be in Agrigento. The room was dark and poorly maintained. Although the room was clean, the bed cover, the pillows, the towel hanger, the armchair need to be renewed.
- Diggertfu (7/5): Good - Good location for shops bars and restaurants Instructions for parking and luggage drop off were somewhat confusing and not too accurate.The two recommended parking locations require a 500 meter walk on what was described as a flat road. Neither is flat by a long shot. If you need to park I recommend to pack light. By the way, I would not recommend trying to drive down to the building where the B&B is located. The road is extremely narrow, it is a dead end and difficult to turn around.
- Harmackova (10/5): Everything was great, Maria is really friendly and helpful, thanks -
- jean-marie (10/5): Merveilleux séjour - Merveilleux séjour avec un très bon acceuil et très bonne réactivité de la propriétaire. Excellente indication pour se garer car ce n’est pas facile a Agrigente : le parking près des carabinieri n’est pas cher : 2€ la nuit. Le logement est à proximité de la rue principale du centre historique mais il est hyper calme. Très bon confort et plafond de rêve. Pas de petit déjeuner mais café, thé et gâteaux sont à disposition. Bref, c’était parfait.
- Andrea (6/5): Pleasant -
- Simona (5/5): Not worth staying if you expect interesting and comfortable accommodation - The location was good and the place was quiet. Rick Steve's book advertised it as having painted ceilings and antique furiture. Instead the room had metal night stands, the bed was basic, everything seemed done cheaply including the cookies, coffee provided in the common room.
- Sarah (10/5): A perfect room with a view. - This is a beautiful historic house. The rooms are original with terrazzo floors and some of the rooms have painted ceilings.. It is in old town off a small side street. The beds and pillows are new and comfortable. The hostess, Mariarita is delightful and helpful. Great price and very convenient for getting around Agrigento. Quiet neighborhood! Excellent price. Nothing
- Rodrigo (8/5): Very good - Great location!
- Rosana (8/5): Dentro de Agrigento - A localização excelente, dentro do centro histórico, pena que não há como estacionar e o carro é necessário para ir ao Valle dei Templi e Scala dei Turchi, pontos que gostaríamos de conhecer. Mas fomos orientados pela anfitriã Maria Rita para colocarmos o carro num estacionamento fora da zona de restrição. Ela solicitou uma permissão para polícia local para que pudéssemos descarregar e carregar as bagagens na saída do hotel
- Catalina (9/5): Superb -
- Deniz (9/5): Superb - The location was excellent, close to the city center yet very quiet. The host was very helpful and attentive, she provided all necessary information and more. The room was very clean. Although the bathroom was big enough, the room was a little bit small. We had difficulty to locate 2 cabin size luggages in the room.
- Giorgio (6/5): - Diversamente da quanto suggerito dalle immagini, la colazione non è prevista: sono messe a disposizione cialde di caffè peraltro non originali, bustine del tè, acqua e uno/ due tipi di biscotti secchi.
- FERNANDO (6/5): - The property is a old home converted to a B B
Like most places in the center of Taormina.
The condition is not the greatest. The lock for the room door is old and inappropriate, the towel hanger in the bathroom was totally rusted,the parking is not bad if you ask the locals.we found perfect free parking next to the train station Avenue wall.We ask 5 different people and all insure us that was ok and it was.It is almost impossible to find parking in the ventral piazza were the Police station is located.
- Kaupuža (9/5): Clean and tidy room in nice historic building in Agrigento centre, nice host! - Everything was great. Host was very nice and helped us a lot with recomendations.
Super neet and tidy room an common places.
I liked, that there was a cofee and cold water machines! I liked everything!
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dr. Anthony (10/5): - Beautiful location. Grest service.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Lydia (10/5): Sweet place - It was a wonderful stay. I wish you had a better coffee and breakfast set up.
Coffee needed improvement
- Ester (10/5): - We had a great experience. The room was very clean, well arranged, everythings worked very well. The breakfast was delicious. Very nice hosts.
- Barbara (10/5): - Great value….very comfortable accommodation. Had to use the AC because a neighbouring building had some sort of compressor going non stop. All good.
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent service, super clean, spacious and great location. Our hostess was very attentive. We would go back here again.
- Marek (10/5): Exceptional - There was a posibility to have breakfast even though it was not included. Nice comunication, nothing was a problem. Really nice ceeling in the room with some old paintings.
- Jane (9/5): Great hideaway just off busy Ataena scene - Elegant home still in family’s hands. Easy first entry with remote video camera. Enormous room and comfortable bed. Coffee in common room (we did not take b’fast). Hosts are great communicators via WhatsApp and we loved their recos for dinner and breakfast. Location off the main road means delicious quiet and good sleep. Parking is remote, but that’s the pleasure of pedestrian city center :)
- Valērijs (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic room !!!
- Valērijs (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing room.
- Gareth (9/5): Superb -
- Jacqueline (8/5): Good, clean option for budget travellers who appreciate antique furniture - Our host, Angela, was warm and helpful introducing us to Agrigento. The property is in a great location just off the main pedestrian street. It was clean, and had interesting antiques in the room. There were distance views of the ruins from our room. The facilities are in need of updating.
- Orlando (10/5): We booked the cheapest room at the B&B and were upgraded to one of their top rooms! We are so greatful to the staff - It was simply beautiful! Amazing views, amazing staff, and very clean!
- José María (10/5): - Great! Thnks
- Linda (10/5): Great location - Maria Rita was very good at communicating via WhatsApp, especially giving us good directions from bus to place. The location is great. The room was large and clean with nice sheets and towels. The floor did have a few broken tiles with a rug that covered them. It did not bother me and caused no safety issue. If the aim is to preserve a place as close to original (tiles, furniture and ceiling mural) as possible while updating things like beds (matress was super comfortable) and towels, then the owners have done a good job.
- Alan (9/5): Really nice - The staff there is quite nice, talked with you about the guidelines for visiting Agrigento.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet and close to transportation. - Quiet location within reach of buses and trains. Spacious room and very comfortable. Places of interest are all walkable but streets are sometimes very steep!
- Karen (10/5): Perfect location, comfy bed, bnb was clean and homey. - Short walk to train/bus. Comfy bed and quiet for sleeping. Good shower! 1 minute walk to Bar Athena 90 where I could eat and drink typical Sicilian, delicious and affordable and the owner/chef and staff made me feel a part of the neighborhood. Highly recommend this BnB
- Arlene (10/5): - A very unique family property, close to the fun part of historic Agrigento. Quiet and near great restaurants, shops and the sights. Beautiful view and clean large rooms. Maria Rita was a great hostess!
- Anita (9/5): Superb -
