This place has an immense terrace with a picture-perfect view of the Temples and the sea. We sipped nightcaps admiring the illuminated temples and drank coffee in the morning while watching the sunrise over the Mediterranean. You just can’t beat the incredible location on the ritzy Il Viale della Vittoria, which is close to everything, or the view, and it’s really quiet, too.
Inside is just as beautiful, full of paintings and sculptures by local and international artists. The charming host, Gabriele, is an art aficionado and happy to tell you more about the artists, some of who are his friends. It felt like we were sleeping in a MoMA gallery with the modern feel of the furniture, all glass table tops, chrome accents and white leather couches.
The place is spacious and airy, which was welcomed after being out in blistering hot weather to see the sites. We slept like babies on the super comfortable beds and the small kitchen was well-stocked.
Gabriele is sweet and accommodating, very funny, too, especially if you understand Italian. He was full of tips on navigating Agrigento and gave us a really good restaurant recommendation (Kokalos for wood-fired pizzas) and for gelato (Le Cuspidi just down the street). He obviously loves his art-filled Attico which he passes on to his guests by making their stay as wonderful as possible. Thank you, Gabriele!
