Our stay in Hotel Della Valle Agrigento for 3 nights was a wise choice, especially for the location being so near to the Valley of the Temples, which ensures an early start can get you there before the crowds and believe me these temples are a once in a life wonder but you would find it very uncomfortable walking round in the hot sun. Thank you to Carlo our tour guide for sharing his knowledge and experience whilst showing us round the Valley of the Temples. I read all the reviews before I went to this hotel and feel the Hotel must have been totally refreshed over the Winter, because our room was small, but very clean with a good modern bathroom and shower/ hot water and although my little heart sank when I saw one of those hair dryers stuck to the wall it was surprisingly powerful and effective. Little fridge in the room too. The Gardens and Pool are beautiful as everyone reviewer has said and the Waiter in charge of the bar & pool was a delight, very helpful and attentive so big thank you to him. After dinner in the evening a guitarist played pleasant music and drinks were served round the pool with free snacks. In fact all the staff without exception were welcoming and polite. One night we dined al fresco and I have to say all their staff worked very, very hard to keep us all happy. Thank you. I am very fussy about food and can only say that all their breakfast and evening meals were excellent, a small choice suitable for everyones tastes. Hats off to their chef. Yes you always get a few wingers when you are part of a large group but the majority all agreed the standard was high and there were about 45 of us in our group. Hotel Della Valle's Sicilian House white wine (25 euros )was very good and much better than the red Sicilian wine which for my tastes was a little raw, but if you read the Sicilian guide books they state exactly the same. If you don't drink it all then they will happily save it for your next evening. Yes, the rooms are of standard size but very clean, good comfortable beds and more than enough room. The two lifts are a bit hit and miss because the hotel was fully booked when we were there. If you want more luxury then you can always book the Hotel in the grounds of the Valley of the temples but it will cost you £900 without Breakfast. Don't forget to take your own towel and swimming hat if you don't want to pay a few euro's to hire them, evidently swimming hats stop the beautiful swimming pool getting clogged, a small price to pay. We found our electric 2 pin adapters didn't fit any of the rooms in Sicily but the hotels are prepared for this and have plenty on hand to loan you. Recommended: Lunch at Agriturismo Borgo Antico, with home made produce and excellent red wine also produced on site ( the best I tasted in the whole of Sicily)
