This was the best place I have stayed in Italy so far. Incredible value for the price, it is a beautiful apartment (with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, shared kitchen, dining and living areas). It is newly fitted out and very well designed, I have taken note of some ideas for my own place (efficient use of kitchen space etc). The apartment is full of natural light. All the windows do have shutters and screens ... ask Sergio to show you how to use them... I didn't realise this and was waking up with the sun.
There is a view from all the living areas that I'd never get tired of (view downhill to the sea, you can even see the temples further down the hill). A fantastic thing to be able to eat or drink or do nothing, looking at that view.
Location is fantastic and convenient. One block from Agrigento Centrale train station (a short walk downhill from the main bus station), it is also quiet and within easy walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, the old town centre and the boulevard where the locals go for a passeggiata every evening.
The local bus stop is just up one flight of steps (this will take you to Valley of the Temples and the excellent archaeological museum).
The host, Sergio, is incredibly helpful and friendly... I was lucky to do a tour with him to the Turkish Steps and some of the local beaches, which have proper SAND.
There is only one very slight issue - Agrigento is a city of stairs. The apartment has no lift but is only one floor above the ground. There's also stairs down to the building. Arrange your luggage to suit... Sergio may be able to assist (I feel bad my suitcase was so heavy).
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, in particular travelers who like to have their own bedroom but are happy to share other facilities (kitchen, living areas).
Agrigento I think is the friendliest town I have yet visited in Sicily (which is saying something). Many tourists come just for the temples, but give this place a few days and you won't regret it (temples and museum pass lasts 3 days and there's lots to see - that's a full day in itself). There are some good local tour operators who can take you places like local beaches, boat trips, Piazza Armerina Roman Villa, etc. The old town has some interesting things to see, also quite a choice of hip little bars and restaurants, but you'll see a lot more locals than tourists out and about.
So - in short - definitely recommended!
