I have been in Agrigento for the past few months and have been able to sleep in several places in Sicily. Hotels, apartments,...
It is 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 a house for family that came to visit me. In my apartment there was no room and they wished not to stay too far from the city center. As by chance I found the Palazzo of Anna Maria and her husband.
First about Anna-Maria and her husband: It's rare that you meet someone who does it with so much love and passion. I was received in French and in English. Something that is not evident in Sicily :-).
Upon arrival I already had the feeling that it couldn't go wrong! And it was even better than expected!
My family received such a warm welcome here the week before that I immediately decided to spend my last week here.
This condo has it all.
First and foremost, it's so close to Via Athenea that you don't have to go looking for food any evening.
But it is also located just far enough from Via Athenea that it won't bother you in the evening.
Moreover, it is located in a very nice and cozy street where you can see the itlian life in all his glory!
It is best to park outside the old city center because otherwise you run the risk of not getting out afterwards.
Of course you can quickly empty the car in front of the door.
A nice entrance with code lock. Something that is very useful for people (like me) who always have to look for their key.
You enter a beautiful hallway and you are immediately touched by the space! This apartment was only recently renovated and you can notice it! This apartment has been renovated with attention to detail!
Anna-Maria manages to pay attention to the history of this house with this entire renovation: high ceilings, original double doors, beautiful tables and cupboards, Modern but with vintage touches makes this whole apartment very instagramable. :-)
The bedroom was very spacious, equipped with air conditioning and if you are with several people, you can relax here in your own room. Each sleeping accommodation also has a beautiful new bathroom with rain shower and hairdryer . My bedroom opened onto the terrace with which you have an overview of 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 feel free to ask Anna-Maria. She will certainly help you on your way!
The dining area and the seating area are very pleasant and spacious! Again with the necessary attention to details. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped for me. No oven, but who needs that when the best pizzas and pastas are right next door for a very reasonable price?
Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. :-)
It is always very nice to notice that there are people who receive guests with a lot of love and affection.
To write a review there and warmly recommend it to me is not an assignment but rather a favor.
The only fear I have is that when I come back (and I certainly will) there won't be a place left when I want to reserve!
Good luck, Anna Maria! And thank you so much. I guess this is why AirBNB was invented in the first place.
