Hotel Villa Eos, Agrigento

Overlooking the azure waters of the Mediterranean, and set just before the birthplace of Italian playwright (and Nobel Laureate) Luigi Pirandello, the Hotel Villa Eos has a superb setting. This Agrigento hotel sits amidst typical Mediterranean shrubs and beautifully realised gardens. There are two very nice swimming pools - the hotel even has a pair of magnificent horses, available for riding out into the beautiful countryside nearby!

Rooms are a choice of single, double or double suites. The hotel has 23 rooms within the central structure, half of them with sea views. In-room facilities include central heating and air conditioning, buffet breakfast, desk and lamp, bathroom with shower, colour television and a direct-dial phone. This Agrigento accommodation has a front desk open around the clock, a lounge and bar, free parking for guests, meeting facilities and internet access. There are the gardens, play area and pools for you and the family to relax, and the health suite has a sunbed so you can get your tan started before you venture out into the reliable Sicilian sunshine.

The major attraction at Agrigento is, of course, the breathtaking Valle dei Templi (Valley of the Temples). A living monument to the power of Agrigento (ancient Akragas) in pre-Christian times, when the city was one of the main Mediterranean capitals of Classical Greece. Enjoy 'modern' Agrigento too - though modern is relative! This is in fact a largely medieval town, with lovely little stepped streets, characterful palazzi and some super churches including the town duomo (cathedral) San Nicola. You must also make a trip to the Civic Museum in Piazza del Municipio, with a fine collection of Sicilian and Italian art from the Middle Ages on.
