“Best choice for a stay in Agrigento in the summer”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

First of all, it should be noted that in Agrigento the best hotels are far away (about 5 km) from the sea. It is ok in the winter, but in the summer the town is blazing hot and inhabitants run to stay in San Leone.
Second: hotels here get really expensive if you have to stay in 3 or 4 people.
Third: even if San Leone housing prices have skyrocketed in the past years, don't expect Wisteria Lane sights: this is Sicily and ugly houses are everywhere. Most were built illegaly, so expect streets to curve at impossible angles - no New York here.
All this said, we picked a Bnb here bot for the location (close to the beach and to the center of San Leone) and for the price. We were proved right.
The house, a nice little villa that offers 5 or 6 rooms, is well kept and costantly well maintained. Rooms and premises are clean, no frills. Suburbs are very quiet. There is a/c in all rooms, TV in some. Parking inside is not a bad thing, even many 4 star hotels do not have this option and it can be awkward if you are used to a German or American ordinate way of parking cars.
We had a 3 bed room with access to a nice terrace.
Breakfast was nice, again better than in many hotels, the host is nice and intelligent and speaks english well. He strives to be as helpful as he can, which is also worth admiring, especially in an area where there is no 'culture' for tourism.
Definitely unbeatable for price/quality. Many bnb ask for much more money for probably lesser quality.

“Excellent value, wonderful host, clean, spacious room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009

people found this review helpful

I stayed one night at this wonderful bed & breakfast in Agrigento called Villa Amico. It is located in the beach area of Agrigento called San Leone. It is a short walk to the sea and the promenade with bars and a restaurant. The room was very spacious and clean and there was private secure parking. The breakfast was cornetti and tea/coffee/juice in a nice breakfast room. The proprietor was a very nice young man. I would definitely stay there again.

“Great for visiting the area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2008

The house and rooms are big by Italian standards. The bedding is as comfortable as you will get in Italy. Ask for extra blankets if you need them. This is a residential area so there are barking dogs and yelling children but I had no problem sleeping.

We called Pierdomenico when we arrived in San Leone and he met us so we could follow him to the house. We had no problem finding our way to and from the house after that- it is about 1 mile and only 3 turns from the main street. We walked the well-lit route after dark with no problems. Parking is available inside the fence.

Typical Italian breakfast. The B&B is 15-20 minute walk to a row of restaurants and a HUGE sandy beach. San Leone is a quick drive to the Valley of the Temples and a much better option than Agrigento.

“Really Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2008

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in our tour through Sicily. It is a very comfortable and well set up B&B with off street parking. the beach is within walking distance and Agrigento temples are easy to get to by car. Very friendly host who will meet you if you have trouble finding it. It is a bit hard but we found it without trouble. Good value.
