This apartment is just perfect for a family of six (or otherwise) visiting the Agrigento area...it's literally brand new, very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and the hosts are very prompt and easy to arrange everything with. We were the first guests to stay in the apartment (it's that new) since it's been completely renovated top to bottom, and it's been done very well. Three large bedrooms, very comfortable large beds (not too soft, not too hard and large sizes, not tiny little beds for two people we so often have seen in Europe), a big living area with a brand new large flat-screen TV, brand-new kitchen appliances - literally everything in the apartment from furniture to flooring to beds to bathrooms is brand-new. Very nice to be able to walk around barefoot again in a rented apartment!

The flat is on the second (European-style) floor, which means two easy wide flights of stairs to walk up (we had no issues getting up and down with four kids and lots of luggage) - the reward is that the apartment has a huge patio balcony (also brand-new) that is as big as the living room and kitchen area combined, with nice sunny breezes and a small BBQ. There were a couple of electrical hook-ups still to complete but they were scheduled to be done the day we left.

The building of a half dozen units itself is older, while this apartment has been thoroughly renovated and it has a small secure parking area in the front courtyard where we easily parked our 8-seater van.

Our purpose in Agrigento was to visit the Valley of the Temples (don't miss the wonderful Garden there as well), and this apartment was perfectly located at about an 8 minute drive from the parking area. Not knowing the area beforehand, we had thought that we should be staying in Agrigento itself, but as we learned upon arriving in the area, Agrigento is actually up on the hill further away, while Villagio Mose, where this apartment is located, is much more convenient. There's a McDonalds and Burger King within a minute drive, and plenty of places for quick shopping.

We've stayed in about 60 apartments this last year or so as we traverse Europe, and this was one of the most functional and thoughtfully appointed apartments we've stayed in. We certainly recommend this apartment as a great base from which to explore the Valley of the Temples (it's actually a big ridge, not a valley, as we found out:)). Scala Dei Turchi (check TripAdvisor) was another great sight we visited, and there is plenty in the area to keep one busy for anywhere from a couple of days to a week. We also tremendously appreciated the lemons and oranges (still on their branches), the almond cookies and fresh herbs that Annarita so graciously prepared in the apartment before we arrived:)!
