Hotel Della Valle

“Nice hotel, further from city center.”

we stayed here as part of a large tour group. The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly, the grounds were beautiful. The water temp in the shower was not consistent, would suddenly go cold then back to hot. That was my biggest complaint. Loved the water pot to make coffee. Was a grocery within a few minutes. far from town though, up a steep hill.

“A nice hotel in spacious grounds”

This hotel is situated some way from the centre of Agrigento and is surrounded by extensive gardens. The rooms are not large but comfortable and spotlessy clean.

This hotel is situated some way from the centre of Agrigento and is surrounded by extensive gardens. The rooms are not large but comfortable and spotlessy clean. Mine overlooked part of the garden but I couldn't work out how to visit this part of the garden! The room had quiet air con. and also had a blind to keep out the heat of the day. The bed was very comfortable with lovely pillows and the bed side lighting was good. An added bonus was that tea and coffee making facilities were provided! The bathroom was a little on the small side but everything worked and there was a good range of toiletries with good towels. According to the infomation sheet, you could order breakfast in your room and laundry services, ironing board, etc., were available. The pool was very nice with a bar area by the side where evening entertainmet was provided. There was also an amphitheatre where you could perform yourself if you wished! The breakfast buffet was very good with all the cold items that you would normally expect but also a full hot breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, etc.) available. There was a delicous array of cakes and pastries to finish off your meal! And dinner - well, you couldnt fault it; the menu was well chosen and prepared and the waiters used "silver service" to serve it! A very pleasant hotel with friendly staff and a place I would certainly not hesitate to stay in. The only thing I would say is that several parts of the gardens needed some maintenance as you couldnt easily walk round.

“Disappointing for a 4 star hotel”

I stayed at this hotel 20 - 22nd October with Riviera Travel. There were a number of issues: The hotel was being refurbished but our room was not yet done.

I stayed at this hotel 20 - 22nd October with Riviera Travel. There were a number of issues: The hotel was being refurbished but our room was not yet done. It was dated, the plumbing gurgled and the air con could only be operated by contacting reception. My phone and tablet froze completely. I therefore could not contact anyone. I contacted reception who were unhelpful and said it was my problem. After several hours the phone reactivated but the tablet remained locked until I booked into another hotel. I am gluten free and have other dietary issues flagged to the hotel in advance but the waiting staff seemed unaware and the rep from Riviera had to help me. The food was mediocre anyway. The location was good for the Valley of the Temples but uphill and some distance from Agrigento.
