This apartment is located conveniently close to the Valley of the Temples (though too far to walk, since you will need to save all of your steps for your time in the park!) We had a car, so it was super close for us.
The best thing about staying here is the view that is available to you every minute you spend in the apartment of art above the Valley of the Temples - at sunrise, sunset and after dark - as the temples are lit up and can be seen from the apartment in the distance. The kitchen is limited, but we were not at all interested in cooking a dinner, as there are so many great restaurants within walking distance and perhaps not so many grocery stores. For us, we had 2 of our most memorable meals in Agrigento. Be sure to purchase some wine and appetizers to bring back to the apartment for a romantic sunset cocktail before dinner, and enjoy the privilege of that unusual and dramatic perch on top of the world.
This top floor apartment is uniquely retro, an aging penthouse decorated tastefully with Gabriele's art collection. I particularly loved the huge, modern windows that opened easily to let in fresh air - letting the sky into the living space.
I also particularly appreciated the working neon art piece installed high in one of the windows near the entrance, and the glass dining table. there is alot of art in the apartment that many hosts might not entrust to and share with airbnb guests.
Gabriele was flexible with our vague arrival time, and welcoming when we arrived, even though he was still cleaning. He lives next door and made himself available to help us to solve any problem. We had a favorite dining experience due to his great recommendation.
A unique and unforgettable experience staying here! Even if you don't need both bedrooms, I'd recommend it as a great value and a great place to stay near the Valley of the Temples.
