Guest Reviews
- Nicolas (10/5): - Personne très accueillante et de bons conseils pour notre séjour. Allez y sans hésiter.
- Magali (10/5): - Tres bon sejour. Idealement situé à 2 min à pieds du parc archéologique et 10 min de la plage. Chambre tres spacieuse , calme, propre avec vie sur les temples ! Accueil tres chaleureux. Je recommande vivement!
- gisele (10/5): - Hébergement très bien tenu. La personne qui nous a accueilli est très prévenante et de bon conseil notamment pour savoir où manger.
- Pascal (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande - Bel établissement situé à proximité du site archéologique de Selinunte. Chambre spacieuse et belle sdb Petit déjeuner buffet
- Maria Luigia (10/5): Il posto giusto x Selinunte - Ottimo soggiorno. Il proprietario molto gentile e disponibile alle richieste.Stanza grande,letto buono,bagno ampio con i prodotti necessari x l’igiene. Colazione all’italiana abbondante. La posizione del b&b permette di andare a visitare il sito archeologico di Selinunte a piedi. Lo consiglio.
- YUMA (10/5): - Staff was so nice
- olivier (10/5): - Le propriétaire nous a guidé avec sa voiture depuis la ville voisine à 15 km ou notre GPS voulait absolument nous situer jusqu'au B&B. Chambre calme, mobilier salle de bains datés et rustiques.
- Laura (10/5): Nice place to see the archialogic park - Good location could walk to park and downtown. Comfortable bed. Big bedroom. Very nice host
- annesimba2 (10/5): Thank you B&B Il Tempio de Hera - Thank you B&B Il Tempio de Hera. If you want a nice space – good rooms, fine breakfast, a safe and private place for you and your belongings – B&B Il Tempio de Hera should be your choice. The management is one of the nicest we met in Sicily. One of the best thing with this hotel is that it is a bit away from the evening nick-nack so you can enjoy the peacefulness of the Selinunte area to the full. The atmosphere is excellent, everything as clean as it could possibly be – a unique feel of Sicilian hospitality. Thank you for a nice stay.
- Tommaso (10/5): - Tutto perfetto, dalla colazione, alla pulizia, all'accogluenza, consiliatissomo
- Mobile40279313288 (10/5): Terrific B&B experience - This B&B is wonderful. The bedroom and bathroom were large, the bed was huge, and the AC was easy to use and effective. This was important because the temperatures were in the high 30s. The staff was very helpful and included people who spoke English and French. The breakfast bar was much more than we expected for the price. There was freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade cannoli and they were able to accommodate my need for gluten-free food. It is a 2-minute walk to the entrance to the Archeological Park. There is free off-street parking. My husband and I would certainly stay there again.
- Gary (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay here. Our host was very helpful and the location was excellent for visiting the Temples and also walking to the beaches and restaurants. Breakfast was very nice as well and the free and safe onsite parking was appreciated.
- Patrizia (6/5): Cortesia e disponibilità - Struttura molto comoda per raggiungere a piedi il Parco Archeologico di Selinunte e anche alcuni ristoranti. Accoglienza cortese, il proprietario ci ha fornito una mappa con indicazioni sulla zona e permesso di lasciare la nostra auto nel parcheggio del B&B il giorno del check out durante la nostra visita al Parco. La nostra camera era al pian terreno, accanto alla reception, decisamente grande ma dall’arredamento un po’ anonimo. Spazioso ma poco confortevole e decisamente datato il bagno (mancanza di basi d’appoggio per beauty case, cuffia per la doccia). Da sostituire la doccia. Buona la colazione con prodotti locali sia dolci che salati.
- Young (10/5): - Perfect location for a visit to the Selinute archaeological park. The host Vincenzo was terrific with great recommendations. Clean and comfortable room.
- Stefan (8/5): - Unser Gastgeber Vincenzo ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Wir durften sogar am Vormittag schon das Zimmer beziehen. Er hat uns viele gute Tips gegeben. Das Frühstück war lecker und vielseitig. Wir kommen gerne zurück. Der Park und das Zentrum sind easy in Gehweite. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig mit einem großen Balkon
- Thibaud (10/5): - Très très bien à tous points de vue avec en plus des conseils concernant les restaurants à proximité. Une fois la voiture garée tout est accessible à pied.
- WEONJAE (6/5): 위치만 좋은 호텔같지 않은 낡은 호텔 - 오믈렛 정도도 없고 서너가지 빵종류만 있는 성의없는 조식, 보일락 말락한 작은 벌레들이 자주 날아다니고,할아버지가 리셉션을 담당하고 있어 소통이 매우 힘들었고,2층까지 캐리어를 들고 계단을 올라가야 합니다.
- Michael (10/5): - Vincenzo was so friendly and accommodating! Would absolutely stay again Rooms were spacious and clean with a nice view Awesome breakfast
- lklein2011 (10/5): Stay here for a pleasant sojourn and convenience to the archeological park. - This was an excellent choice, and we highly recommend it. It is very close, a short walk, to the archeological park. Nearby are at least two good restaurants, some cafe and fast food choices, and a small market. The room was comfortable, clean, and spacious; the breakfast was pleasant, and the host could not have been more accommodating. We had difficulty finding a taxi to take us from Castelvetrano to the B&B (Hint: we went to the Castelvetrano police station, which called a driver for us.) We mentioned this to the host of B&B Il Tempio di Hera, and he arranged a taxi for us to get to Agrigento the next day. All in all, this B&B is worthy of your consideration.
- Gilbert (8/5): Good value for money in Selinunte - Very friendly and accommodating owner. Well located to visit local archeological park. (5 min walk). Good budget B&B.
- Marcello (10/5): - Nelle immediate vicinanze del parco archeologico di Selinunte, eccellente B&B gestito da persone gentili e simpatiche. Grazie
- ANDREA (10/5): - Michele e Vincenzo bravi e gentilissimi
- Ian (10/5): - Reviewing this as a B&B... Not comparing it to luxury hotels. Has on site parking which was a first for us in Sicily. Right by the Archaeological Site and a 15 min walk to the beach. Helpful and super friendly staff. Spacious, clean room with good aircon and a very comfortable bed. Decent bathroom if not the most modern. Good breakfast buffet. Would have no hesitation staying again.
- Wolfgang (10/5): - Large room with a terrasse and all you need. Together with a charming host (senior) and a good breakfast it was a very pleasant stay. A supermarket, bars and restaurants, and the Beach are all in walking distance.
- Huseyin (10/5): - Goede ligging tegenover archeologische park. Nette ruime kamers, zeer aardig behulpzaam personeel. Bij inchecken geeft Vincenzo tips over lokale eetgelegenheden. Welke prima was. zeker een aanrader.
- Lise (8/5): - Chambre correcte, mais sans plus. Accueil très bon. Près du parc archéologique, des restaurants . Déjeuner bon.
- Suzanne (8/5): - L’établissement est bien situé, 3 minutes à pied du parc archéologique et près de plusieurs restaurants .
- Mitsunori (8/5): - Recommended nice seafood restaurant!!
- Yves (10/5): - Hébergement modeste mais propre et fonctionnel. Son principal intérêt réside dans la proximité immédiate du site archéologique de Selinonte à 5 minutes à pied. On peut ainsi laisser sa voiture en sécurité pendant la visite. Le personnel est absolument charmant, très accueillant et il prodigue d’utiles conseils. Quelques options à de restauration à proximité immédiate malgré des environs pas particulièrement plaisants.
- Xuan (10/5): - The host greeted us at the door and check-in was smooth. The property located 5 min walk from the archeological park, was safe and quiet. The room was clean and large. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Free onsite parking with a gate. Nice breakfast provided at a nearby bar. Highly recommended.
- Mauro (10/5): -
- Sonia (8/5): Tutto bene - Posizione strategica per le rovine, nulla di cui lamentarsi
- Martha (10/5): - Excellent location, friendly welcome from Vincenzo with a great suggestion for dinner, delicious breakfast.
- Christopher (10/5): - A lovely property in an ideal location. Rooms were pleasant, comfortable and large, there were good restaurants nearby and a wonderful archaeological site is a short walk away. The beach was close too. Your hosts are friendly and informative and there is an excellent breakfast with wonderful fresh local pastries and tarts.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Très bon accueil - Nous avons été très bien accueillis.
- sleepybexhill (8/5): Ideal for a trip to the archeological site. - We had a large room with an excellent balcony overlooking one of the temples. The place was very clean and everything appeared to be in good order. Breakfast was simple, but good quality using locally sourced products. Plenty of free onsite parking. The location was ideal - a few minutes walk into the archeological site and restaurants in the town. Enzo was a perfect host. He could not do enough to help during our stay.
- james (10/5): - Very friendly staff Cant get closer to the historic sites in the city Many close by restaurant choices
- Philippe (10/5): On recommande - Emplacement idéal pour visiter le site archéologique. Chambre conforme aux photos et description. Hôte extrêmement sympathique et petit déjeuner parfait. A recommander
- Claude (10/5): Parfait ! - Superbe hébergement moderne, extrêmement propre et bien aménagé. Chambre au calme. Accueil de Vincenzo super sympathique avec conseils de restaurant et visites. Petit déjeuner en buffet où rien ne manque. Parking spacieux.
- DIANE (10/5): Séjour très agréable - Hotel très bien situé, près du parc archéologique. Accueil remarquable: tout est fait pour rendre service. (attention aux transports pour Sélinonte: pas de trains pour cette ville et pas de bus le dimanche pour Castelvetrano)
- Claudia (10/5): Ottima scelta - Abbiamo soggiornato in una bella stanza, ampia e luminosa con un bello terrazzo vista tempio. Gentili i proprietari e buona la colazione. Ottima posizione.
- Anne-sophie (10/5): Excellent accueil, emplacement et prestation - L'hôtel est idéalement situé. Vincenzo et un hôte vraiment adorable et et très serviable. La chambre était très propre. Petit déjeuner impeccable avec des oranges fraîches pressées. Je recommande vivement cet établissement. Bravo
- Nini (10/5): Un posto bellissimo! - Vincenzo, il proprietario del b&b, è stato gentilissimo, disponibile e premuroso. Il posto è molto bello, comodo ai servizi (bar, ristoranti, visite al tempio di Selinunte...). La colazione è più che dignitosa. Abbiamo passato due belle giornate
- Marcello (8/5): - Der (ich nehme an) Besitzer war sehr freundlich und entgegengekommend, der Empfang herzlich familiär. Ich konnte sogar früher Frühstück bekommen (7 statt erst um 8) und den Umfang hätte ich so nicht erwartet. Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich, wenn auch einfach (in Anbetracht des Preises aber vollkommen OK). Die Betten sind leider kein Highlight und es ist sehr hellhörig.
- Nathaniel (10/5): - Great experience! Only stayed a night, but I loved it! Very clean, great value, great location.
- John (10/5): Great place - Really great place with an exceptionally gracious host. The location is perfect for visiting the ruins. Breakfast was very good and all the facilities were excellent.
- Roadtriplovers2000 (10/5): Great hotel with a view - Friendly service, great room, an unblocked view at the temple of Hera and a superb breakfast brought to our room. Why would you go anywhere else in this region? 5 stars plus. A one minute drive to the largest archelogical site of Europe. Come here and book at this hotel/ B&B
- 292russp (10/5): Good Location - Located just a short distance from the main site and local eateries. Very friendly, helpful staff with very clean spacious rooms. Very nice breakfast. On-site parking while not as important in the off-season is a big plus during the summer.
- Brianthejust (8/5): A fine B&B - This B&B is easy to find if you come in by bus you drive right past it and stop less than 5 minutes walk away. It is clean and tidy. The rooms spacious and comfortable and the hosts couldn’t be more friendly and helpful
- Barry (10/5): Amazing - Amazing place - amazing room - amazing host. What else can you say. We loved our stay!
- 819hilaryb (8/5): Very Pleasant - Convenient for the Selinunte Archeological Park being only a ten minute walk. Parking on the B&B premises. Very easy to find on the main road in to Selinunte. Friendly owners. Large clean room with balcony. Breakfast was reasonable choice of basic food - coffee, croissants, fruit, fresh orange juice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great proximity to archeological park. Super welcome and advice re area and restaurants given
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent B & B - Everything was excellent- beautiful room and bathroom, very nice breakfast, host very welcoming, convenient to Temple site. Gated parking. Would recommend to others
- Norman (10/5): Sleepy Selinunte is a treasure! - This b&b was fine. The hosts and their 7 year old daughter Giulia were very friendly. The room was super large, clean, with a balcony view of the Greek ruins. A walk to the site as well. Nearby restaurant Boomerang was a fish treat!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent hosts, convenient location, easy check in.
- KeithM717 (8/5): A nice modern hotel - A nice modern hotel with attractive large rooms and a large balcony. They only serve a pleasant, but simple breakfast, but it’s quite close to the beach and the ancient remains of the temple. We only met one member of staff, who seemed very pleasant. There is a private parking area in front of the hotel.
- DoCoTommy (10/5): Nice B&B with view of ruins - We stayed with Vincenzo for one night. The room was large, spotless and comfortable as was the bathroom. Vincenzo was an awesome host, delivering a very nice and large breakfast to our room. We had an excellent sleep. It was about 10 minutes through town to the seafront. There are plenty of good restaurants. I would not hesitate to stay here again
- James (8/5): Clean, spacious with a good location - The room was spacious and clean. The owners were nice and efficient. Breakfast served in room was lovely. Very close to the attraction and tasty restaurants. Would reccomend.
- wolfing49 (10/5): Phantastic accomodation and thoughtful host. - We arrived after a very disappointing incident and experience at the Selinunte Archeological park. The welcome couldn’t have been better. The host was charming, informative and attentive, you could not ask for more. We were shown to the apartment which was immaculately clean and large, it also had a balcony with a view of the temple. Thick towels, a proper functioning shower and bathrobes. The beds were comfortable, I had my best sleep for a long. We were given a choice of items for the breakfast and I asked for two caffe lungo each, and we received the next day 4 cups of caffe lungo each, a small thing, but I thought it was lovely. The breakfast was extensive with croissant, toast, jams, butter.....etc., and nice. When we packed the luggage into our car, we discovered a large A4 sized envelope with a little sticker, thanking us for choosing their establishment and it contained a large print of a Roman Szene, presumably in Selinunte. I also like to mention that you can park your car on the premises were the heavy gates are shut from night till dawn. Thank you very much for such a lovely experience.
- Both-like-travelling (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - We were welcomed by a friendly, helpful host. We had a lovely, spacious room with a balcony from where we could see some ruins of temples. The room was very clean and very comfortable. It was an easy walk to the park. We consider this one of the nicest B&B's we have ever stayed in. On the evening we ate at "Boomerang" restaurant, also recommended
- Yvonne (10/5): Great place to stay - We were welcomed by a friendly, helpful host. We had a lovely, spacious room with a balcony. The room was very clean and very comfortable. We consider this one of the nicest B&B's we have ever stayed in. Definitely recommended.
- Luke (10/5): - Great location. Wonderful staff. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable bed. Will stay again!
- Lou (10/5): - The staff was awesome and very very helpful. Recommendations about the local sights and restaurants were happily given even though we arrived very early and our room was not ready yet. Great room with a view of the temple!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Vincenzo was very helpful giving us tips and local information about places to eat and how to get around the Greek temples.
- anthonyfQ5298IU (10/5): Great Place and Location - From our balcony we could see the ruins. It is a two-minute walk to the park. The staff is friendly and willing to help with whatever you need. Room is large and comfy, and breakfast was good. Parking is available and gated. No complaints whatsoever!
- Peter (10/5): A wonderful surprise at Selinunte! - We selected the B&B II Tempio di Hera for three reasons; it is close to the Selinunte Archaeological Park, it is near Castelvetrano and was on our way to Agrigento. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The B&B appears to be a relative new building and everything is big, clean and comfortable. Vincenzo and his wife are wonderful hosts and the breakfast was really good. Vincenzo make a great cappuccino! The B&B is very close to Selinunte; you could walk to the park if you wanted, but we drove. There are several nice restaurants close by (Ethos is right next door) and a terrific snack bar (and gelateria). Of course you have a assortment of pizza restaurants and wine bars to chose from. For fish lovers, there is a most unusual restaurant, Boomerang, that serves only fish (they sent out for a pizza for me). There is no menu, you sit down and they bring you FRESH fish; plate after plate of great fish (according to the Mrs.). The food was outstanding! Going into Castelvetrano for some genealogical research was simple and quick. As an aside, the people in the records office and archive in Castelvetrano went out of their way to help us in our research, especially since my Sicilian is extremely limited. Thank you Castelvetrano! We certainly would stay here again. Parking is free and easy, the room was comfortable and the hosts were very nice. I would, of course, be sure to have another cappuccino.
- Verified traveler (8/5): ALL GOOD - The hotel was fine but I have to say that the staff were excellent. They were particularly helpfull when we realised that we had left our passports behind in the room when we were 2 hours away. Man thanks for your assistance.
- Bob_Alex (10/5): Perfect place for visiting the ruins - Our room was a really good size, as was the bathroom, on the ground floor with a balcony and furniture for relaxing. We looked out at the car park next to the entrance door so the view wasn't particularly attractive but our room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was good with freshly squeezed oranges (you could do it yourself if you wished) and served in what was probably a veranda but now walled in to make the dining room. It was perfectly placed within walking distance to the ruins and served our purpose really well.
- donnaintuscany (10/5): Genuinely kind reception across from the Temples of Selinunte - We were greeting by our host, Vincenzo, upon arrival and his gracious sense of hospitality couldn't have been more charming. He quickly and efficiently went out of his way to make everyone in our party feel comfortable. His availability to help with dinner reservations, to give directions, rides, etc. notwithstanding the awkward hour of our arrival won us over. To make our stay even better, his breakfast buffet filled with local specialities including a marvelous fresh pecorino cheese, fresh squeezed juice and a rare ancient grain bread, not to mention homemade yogurt and sweets was special.
- AdvisemeNZ (10/5): Excellent Choice - The owner (sorry I can't recall his name) gave us such a warm welcome and was so helpful in providing info about the ruins and dinner restaurant etc. The room was large and looked across the road to the ruins. The accommodation was very comfortable. The ruins are stunning. We arrived by bus at about 3pm in the afternoon and went straight to the ruins after booking in. The entrance to the ruins is right across the road too. There were very few tourists there, it was wonderful. We were there for about 3 hours or so. The next morning we got the 8:30am bus back to Castelvetrano to connect with the bus to Agrigento. It was such a worthwhile visit. Thanks very much for your very warm hospitality!
