The Local Area

The nearest town to the hotel is San Leone, 4km away with a range of shops, restaurants and pizzerias.

Agrigento, 12km away, is a wonderful Sicilian town and provincial capital. Defined as 'the most beautiful city among mortals’, the ancient 'Akragas' was founded in 581BC and it briefly became one of the most important cities of Magnae Graecia situated 230m above sea level, on a plateau overlooking the sea, with two nearby rivers and a ridge to the north offering a degree of natural fortification. It was the birthplace of many historians and today rich in both history and culture.

Located just outside of Agrigento, 8km from the hotel, the Valley of Temples is arguably one of the most beautiful and historically interesting locations in Sicily, characterised by the remains of ten 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.

Porto Empedocle is 14km away where ferries depart to the Pelagie Islands of Lampedusa, Linosa and Lampione and the dramatic white cliffs at Scala dei Turchi are 18km from the hotel.
