I have been in Agrigento for the past few months and have been able to sleep in various places in Sicily. Hotels, apartments,...
It was in the last week of my stay that I was completely overwhelmed by the "little" paradise of Anna-Maria and her husband when I was looking for an accommodation for family that came to visit me. At my apartment there was no room and they wished to stay not too far from the city center. As if by chance, I found the Palazzo of Anna Maria and her husband. I was impressioned by their house I imediatly reserved for my last days in Agrigento
First about Anna-Maria and her husband: It is rare to meet someone who does things with such love and passion. I was received in French and in English. Something that is not obvious in Sicily. Upon arrival, I already had the feeling that it could not go wrong! And it was even better than expected!
My family was received here in such a warm way that I immediately decided to spend my last week here.
This condo has it all. First of all, it's so close to Via Athenea that you don't have to go out looking for food every night. But it is also located just far enough from the Via Athenea that it doesn't bother you at night. Moreover, it is located in a very nice street that radiates warmth. It is best to park outside the old city center because otherwise you run the risk of not being able to get out afterwards. Of course you can quickly empty the car in front of the door.
A fine entrance with code lock. Something very useful for people, (like me) who always have to look for their key. You enter a beautiful hallway and you are immediately overwhelmed by the space! This apartment was only recently renovated and it shows! With attention to detail, this apartment was renovated. Anna-Maria manages to pay attention to the history of this house with this whole renovation: high ceilings, original double doors, beautiful tables and cabinets, Modern but with vintage accents makes this whole apartment very instagramable.
The bedroom was very spacious, equipped with Air conditioning and if you are with more than one person, you can feel free to unwind in your own room here. Also, each bedroom has a nice new bathroom with rain shower and hairdryer . My bedroom gave out on the little terrace where you have an overview on the stairs and where you can enjoy a coffee and a good book.
Within walking distance you have very nice restaurants: Naïf, La Scala, civocodoci, ... But don't hesitate to ask Anna-Maria. She will certainly help you on your way!
The dining area and the seating area are incredibly pleasant and spacious! Again with the necessary attention to detail. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped for me. No oven but who needs that when the best pizzas and pastas are next door for a very reasonable price?
Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review, it is always very nice to find that there are people who receive guests with a lot of love and affection. To write a review for that and warmly recommend it is not an assignment for me but rather a favor.
