Villa Athena Resort
Via Passeggiata Archeologica 33, Agrigento, Italy
27 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
If you’re in Italy to see some history — and frankly, it’s unavoidable — you won’t find a hotel richer in grand monuments and architectural remnants than Sicily's Villa Athena Resort. Set within the Valley of the Temples, Villa Athena is an ancient stone’s throw away from the 5th-century B.C. Temple of Concordia. We’re about ready to call archaeology-by-bedroom-window an official travel trend.
Originally an opulent 18th century private residence, Villa Athena Resort itself is luxuriously unstuck from the past, thanks to a recent restoration. While the rooms with jaw-dropping temple views are a clear winner, overlooking a lush, timeworn olive grove isn’t a bad second choice. All 27 rooms and suites are equipped with modern amenities and adorned with refined details, such as stunning marble bathrooms featuring Sicilian ceramics.
The Villa Athena Spa, built around an ancient Greek cistern, likewise fuses age-old Roman culture with the latest technology, giving guests the perfect spot to treat themselves to beauty and massage services while unwinding after a day of trekking around the temples. The restaurant, Terrazza degli Dei, where diners overlook the Temples of Concordia and Juno, aperitifs in hand, is the perfect way to cap off a day.
Finally, lucky guests can access the archaeological park directly from the hotel — a truly unique privilege!
