Just up the hill from archeological park in town of Agrigento. Pleasant, family owned, with extra helpful English speaking landlady on the premises. Good wi-fi. Very generous breakfast.   As is common with small Italian hotels, this place is not on the street level.  Really PACK LIGHT. You do not want to be lugging large suitcases up a couple of floors.

Small cozy family run B&B

The Via dei Templi or Valle dei Templi aka The Valley of the Temples is a remarkable archeological site in Agrigento, with many well preserved temples. I would recommend getting a guided tour, which, although pricey (80€ in cash), is a guarantee that you will make the most of this impressive, profound and educational visit. Pick Ninfa or Ilaria, both great guides with good language skills. Consider getting on board a little tourist train for your return journey for 3€.

The term "valley" is actually a misnomer, the site being located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento.

The Valle dei Templi / Valley of the Temples is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO Heritage Site list in 1997. The archaeological park and landscape of the Valley of the Temples is the largest archaeological site in the world with 1,300 hectares.

The Valley includes remains of seven temples, all in Doric style. The ascription of the names, apart from that of the Olympeion, are a mere tradition established in Renaissance times. The temples are:

- Temple of Concordia, whose name comes from a Latin inscription found nearby, and which was built in the 5th century BC. Turned into a church in the 6th century AD, it is now one of the best preserved in the Valley.

- Temple of Juno, also built in the 5th century BC. It was burnt in 406 BC by the Carthaginians.

- Temple of Heracles, who was one of the most venerated deities in the ancient Akragas. It is the most ancient in the Valley: destroyed by an earthquake, it consists today of only eight columns.

- Temple of Olympian Zeus, built in 480 BC to celebrate the city-state's victory over Carthage. It is characterized by the use of large scale atlases.

- Temple of Castor and Pollux. Despite its remains including only four columns, it is now the symbol of modern Agrigento.

- Temple of Vulcan, also dating from the 5th century BC. It is thought to have been one of the most imposing constructions in the valley; it is now however one of the most eroded.

- Temple of Asclepius, located far from the ancient town's walls; it was the goal of pilgrims seeking cures for illness.

The Valley is also home to the so-called Tomb of Theron, a large tuff monument of pyramidal shape; scholars suppose it was built to commemorate the Romans killed in the Second Punic War.

For those who would like to see more well preserved temples in Sicily I'd recommend the neighboring cities of Selinunte and Segesta.

Impressive, profound and educational 

We only stayed one night which was too short ,such a wonderful house with the owner 
So gracious and helpful ,the most beautiful kitchen,in the traditional Sicilian style.We walked to the Valley of Temples ,perfect location.

Best place to stay

We found the service at this B&b to be very friendly. We were even welcomed with a glass of home made limoncello. The room was clean and well appointed and the breakfast delicious. It is in a close location to the Valley of the temples and just a few metres from a good pizzeria and excellent restaurant. 

Friendly and cosy

Stayed 3 nights, lovely friendly b&b very convenient for the temples. Great breakfast, comfy bed, good shower. 20 min uphill walk to the town but several local restaurants. Car parking on street in a service road opposite.
