If you’re visiting the Valley of the Temples and nearby sights, this hotel’s location inside the archaeological park is a real plus. That said, there are other hotel options just a 5-10 minute drive away. As for the 5-star and SLH label, it feels like a stretch. Yes, there’s a pool, a restaurant, and a gym, but the rooms and overall experience don’t really live up to that rating. You’re paying a premium mainly for the in-park location. Staff were pleasant enough, but compared to other hotels in Sicily, I wouldn’t call this a true 5-star property.

The property is in a fabulous position overlooking the Valley of the Temples. The food and service at the hotel was excellent. The major problem is that the property is really, really badly in need of renovation. Our room which has a wonderful view was shabby and I do mean shabby.....floor tiles broken, door handles loose, overall very poor maintenance and repair. I would estimate that the last time the room and property were renovated was 30+years ago. Its a shame as it could be a wonderful hotel but the owners are simply cashing in on its location.

Absolutely perfectly located to visit the valley of the temples. The temples are visible from everywhere around the property. The facilities of the hotel are excellent - pool, Turkish shower in the room, etc…. Don’t expect a late checkout during high season. The restaurant was so-so and very expensive, especially for children’s meals. Take advantage of direct accesses to the Archeologic park from the property by buying your ticket/tour from the hotel and enjoy a 15 minute hike through an orchard and into the park.

Booked last minute and could not be happier. My wife and I had a first class experience. The food, the service the amazing breakfast and of course the stunning views of the temples. Our experience just felt special. The room was clean, quiet, great shower, everything top drawer.

This was a beautiful hotel with gorgeous landscaping and outdoor seating areas. Breakfast was delicious. The dining patio, looking out at the lit up temple was magic. The pool was lovely although chilly and the rooms had every amenity, even a Dyson hair dryer. We wish we had had an extra day to enjoy the hotel.

Not recommended. We reserved an apartment with view towards the temple and we received view towards a tree and a pathway where all the workers passed by. The receptionist said “picture on Expedia are just orientative, shot on the best apartment we have, not on real one”. Dirty bathtub, dirty toilet, ear pads and toiletries not replenished. Worth 3 stars the most.

As expensive as it is the rooms were invested with ants and humid and not super comfortable. The beds were ok. You stay here for the view and accessibility to the archaeological park. Restaurant is lovely and food is amazing.

From the moment we arrived the experience was a 5 star. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The meals were prpared to a very high standard and delicious. Very special and personalized touches. The room was exceptional. Clean and comfortable with great amenities. I appreciated the Dyson hairdryer! Easy access to town by car or taxi (about €20 each way)
