Sicily bed and breakfast - This spacious B&B provides a great base for your Mediterranean vacation in the coastal town of Agrigento, southern Sicily. Elegant accommodation with air-conditioning guarantees a pleasurable and comfortable stay in this intriguing part of Italy.
Villa Amico Bed & Breakfast in Agrigento is an elegant building, built in 1985 and restored in 2002 by the current owner. Within lie large, airy and pleasantly cool rooms, all with air conditioning and their own bathroom with shower. Consisting of two floors, the house has balconies and is surrounded by its own courtyard. Private parking and bicycles are availble.
There is a communal lounge, an ideal place to spend some lazy hours reading. If you wish to use the kitchens (provided with cooking facilities, a fridge and washing machine) please ask when you book.
The bed & breakfast is in the San Leone seaside district of Agrigento. It lies 700 metres from the beach, 2km from the Valley of the Temples and 5km from the city centre. You are just 200 metres from the bus stop.
Rates per person per day range from EURO €20 to €30 in the low season, up to €25 to €40 in high season.
Agrigento sits on a bluff overlooking its world-famous collection of Greek temples. And heading out into southern Sicily you'll find plenty to discover. The town of Ragusa, a Baroque masterpiece lying on two levels, is a treasure house of exotic buildings. And there are other Baroque delights, including Modica and the jewel in the crown - Noto.
As you explore the Mediterranean's largest island, you'll realise that while Sicily may be part of Italy, it's an exciting amalgam of all the cultures that have ruled here. Romans, Arabs, Normans, French, Spanish and Bourbons have come and gone, leaving a diversity of churches, temples, theatres and a very eclectic cuisine. Marvel at the Byzantine mosaics in Cappella Palatina in Palermo. Climb the blackened sides of smoking Mount Etna, or watch a performance in Siracusa's Teatro Greco, or view the Roman mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale.
