Hotels in Agrigento, Sicily

Dioscuri Bay Palace, Agrigento

This hotel in Agrigento, Sicily has a superb location, overlooking the bay and the Valley of the Temples. Agrigento is famous for this UNESCO World Heritage site - home to the most impressive ancient Greek remains outside Greece itself. This stunning line of golden-hued ancient temples is perched high up on a rocky ridge overlooking the sea - a truly magical vision in the waning light of the late-afternoon sun. The town itself is full of charm, with its picturesque streets winding around wonderful churches and ramshackle palazzi, and there are plenty of lively bars and welcoming trattorias here, too. As well as an impressive archaeological museum, visitors can also see the childhood home of the writer Pirandello, which lies in the evocatively named suburb of Caos.

The Dioscuri Bay Palace offers guests superior four-star accommodation in a beautiful setting overlooking the bay and with views onto the valley. There are 102 generously proportioned and elegantly furnished rooms, each with luxurious en-suite bathroom with a choice of bath or shower, a fitted hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, plus direct-dial telephone, satellite TV, safety-deposit box and a minibar. Every room has its own balcony or terrace from where guests can enjoy wonderful views of this unique coastline.

A delicious Continental-style breakfast is included in the cost of your room and the excellent "La Baia degli Dei" restaurant serves a wonderful, constantly-changing menu based on glorious Sicilian cuisine created using fresh, seasonal produce. The restaurant has panoramic views over the bay and there is also a refined American-style bar and an indoor "Winter garden" with a wonderful atmosphere.

Families are made most welcome at this Agrigento hotel, and there is a special tariff for under-12s, while under-twos stay free of charge. Cots and cribs are available, too. Other amenities include a business centre with a range of meeting rooms seating up to 200 people as well as a wonderful swimming pool. There is ample free parking for guests.
