Very nice front desk staff, we had a large room overlooking the water, On the third floor, our room had its own huge terrace with a separate entrance. We barely used the terrace because we were out so much. Breakfast was decent, the coffee was fabulous. Great location (but very windy roads to get there if you are driving, valet parking.

Lovely property, walking distance to everything in Ortigia, we had a sea view to watch ocean storms! The room was very small with almost no room to put two suitcases. We had a fridge and complementary water. Front desk staff were wonderful. Buffet breakfast had a great selection of food and then you can order many more items off the menu. Great coffee, umbrellas available,

It’s a cute and clean B&B. The room was large and comfortable, the owner provided unlimited cold water and access to the refrigerator which was great. Breakfast was good with baked goods and fresh coffee, not much protein though. The location isn’t great and parking was a challenge, although we were able to walk 20 minutes to a good restaurant. If you are just going to the Valley of the Temples, there’s no real reason to stay in Agrigento, stay outside the city.

This was a unique little hotel. The reception desk staff was wonderful and had great ideas for restaurants and Marsala wine tours, which we hadn’t yet set up. The apartment was huge, with tons of closet space, a mini-kitchen, an iron and ironing board, a steamer, and private patio access. It’s in walking distance from the old part of town which has cute restaurants and shops. We drove over to Florio for the wine tours as it’s tough to get a taxi in Marsala. Parking was a challenge due to street cleaning one of the nights we were staying, so we had to move our car. Breakfast was excellent.

This is such a pretty little hotel with 24 hour reception, an amazing made-to-order breakfast, and a big suite with a full kitchen. It’s off one of the main walking streets (Via Vittorio Emanuele) so you right in the middle of the action, walking distance to everything. The room had a little balcony where you can hang out and people watch. Umbrellas in the lobby, nice touch.

We cancelled this before we left. Only gave it a “poor” to be able to click through.

We cancelled this when we needed to change from afternoon to morning. Gave it a “poor” to click through.

The entry ticket was in the Vamoos app, which we forgot. But it was there and pre-paid, so that was convenient.

Did we miss this? Didn’t see it on our last itinerary.

Sara and her husband are amazing! We had a great tour at LAeQUA including all the specialized machinery for nuts and chocolate, and made our own Modica style chocolate. They focus on fair trade ingredients and have close relationships with their suppliers. The commitment to their products and mission is infectious. This laboraty if a little bit outside of the city and well worth the drive.

Not sure how to rate this so gave it a 3. The lists provided are fine, but we used Rick Steve's book and map and the hotel map for touring. Would have be nice to get local maps from KimKim, in hindsight.

Marta met us at the front gate and made this tour really enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the Villa and Sicilian history, and a very nice person as well.

This was a great experience. Marco picked us up at our hotel and we were joined by another family of 5. He provided history and context as we were driving to Mount Etna, and gave us all some time to chat also. We stopped at a little convenience store to buy some water. Our first stop was a lava cave, which was fascinating, then we walked up the mountain to a dormant lava field. We ended with a wonderful lunch and winery tour at Cantine Petria. Would have been nice to have been provided water and walking sticks as parts of the climb were slippery and rocky. Marco was interesting, knowledgeable, and personable, and nice to spend the better part of day with.

Sabrina was fantastic. She knew all you could imagine about Sicilian history and the history of this place. She was interesting, interested, and paced the tour well. There’s a lot to cover and it can be overwhelming.

This tour was surprisingly fun! These are historic salt pans that are still worked by hand, with men in the salt pans. We learned so much - how they work, how they are managed, the history of salt panning in the region, how salt is stored, etc. The tasting afterwards was crazy good, with fresh fruits, vegetables and olive oil bread to combine with different flavored salts. That was delicious. Our tour guide was wonderful, on staff at the salt pans. The store sells it all, you will want to buy salt, especially fluer de sel (“flower of salt”) which is the salt that forms a thin, delicate crust on the surface of the seawater as it evaporates. It’s the one to use for finishing and garnishing.

Chiara met us at the hotel and was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. This was actually a 3 hour tour and well worth the time. We covered a lot of ground, and learned so much about the history of the Mafia and today’s anti-mafia movement. While there, we learned more Sicily culture and history. Well worth the time.
