"Beautifully appointed, spacious apartment literally 10 minutes walk from the train station. Close to everything. 30 minutes walk from the ruins. We spent two nights there and thoroughly enjoyed it."
"Great boutique accommodation (maybe 6-8 rooms) in a rural setting just outside of the hustle and bustle of Agrigento (approximately 2 miles from the town center). Located on the grounds of a family farm with fruit trees, olives, donkeys and geese. Our large, clean and comfortable room had a balcony overlooking the beautiful country landscape. Our host, Dario, was friendly and helpful. His sister, who lives next door, made fresh baked goods and jams that were served with breakfast. Safe and gated parking area. Highly recommended. "
