The Local Area

Masseria Agnello is situated 2.5km from the town of Realmonte best known for its archaeological sites, roman villa, Costabianca Theatre ‘Cathedral of Salt’ and stunning coastline and beaches with Scala dei Turchi ‘Turkish Steps’ (6km) having a particularly striking natural staircase, with broad steps and terraces sloping down the white limestone cliffs to the crystalline seawater below.  

The provincial town of Agrigento is 16km away, famous for the Valley of the Temples arguably one of the most beautiful and historically interesting locations in Sicily characterised by the remains of 10 temples dating back to the 5th century BC and the Temple of Concordia being one of the best preserved temples of the Greek civilization today. It became part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 being one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, one of the main attractions in Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy.

San Leone beach is 6km from Agrigento, along with Porto Empedocle where ferries depart to the Pelagie Islands of Lampedusa, Linosa and Lampione.
