Though Agrigento is a modern city of about 60,000 on Sicily’s southwest coast, the majority of visitors come to experience the past just outside of town. At the Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi), citizens of the then-major Greek colony of Akragras began building seven Doric style holy monuments in the sixth century BC. The nearby Archaeological Museum helps put everything into context. Agrigento also has some fascinating sights in its old town, like the medieval Norman cathedral.

Doric Boutique Hotel is based in the UNESCO landscape of the Valley of the Temples. The hotel has 21 rooms, all of the overlooking the majestic temple of Juno: our flagship are the 10 deluxes rooms with a view of the temple and private heated pool and the panoramic queen room with turkish bath and jacuzzi located in its huge terrace, also overlooking the Valley of the Temples. The property is equipped with all modern comforts including an outdoor swimming pool overlooking Temples with swim-up bar, a gym and a panoramic restaurant, the Ambrosia, where the chef uses organic and local products from our farm and the aromatic herbs of our garden. Doric boutique hotel is eco – friendly: we use photovoltaic and thermal energy and give water a new life through a phytodepuration system. Our hotel is placed in a strategic position for those who want to explore not only the Valley of the Temples (which the entrance is only 1.5 km away) but all that the province has to offer: we are 5 km away from the see and the historic center of Agrigento, 15 km away from the marvellous Scala dei Turchi, 6 km far from the Farm Cultural Park of Favara (the largest and most important open-air exhibition of contemporary art in Sicily) 15 km from the Arab-Baroque city of Naro and 30 km from the city of the Leopard and the metaphysical theater of Andromeda.
Reasonably priced, secluded, upscale hotel with swimming pool and bar, full service restaurant, and sweeping valley views. Exceptional staff and service !! If you arrive by car, you will be buzzed in via an electronic gate. A staff member on a golf cart greeted us to assist with checkin and luggage. Our room was a little small but workable since we booked the economy room but we were upgraded to a balcony with chairs. Rooms were very modern with a refrigerated wall mini bar, TV, and bathroom fixtures. Breakfast is interesting and exciting as there were tasty unfamiliar, local foods- more than just the usual run of the mill. Dinner was accompanied by soft breezes relaxing, gentle jazz music, panoramic views, local wine, and attentive service. If you have an extra day or two, it’s a good place to enjoy the ambience. Olive oil and almonds are produced on the estate.

We stayed here for visiting the Valley of Temples. It's just a few minutes drive distance with a car. Hotel seems also provides shuttle to the site return for a fee of 10 EUR. To the sandy beach just walk five minutes. Hotel has secure and free car parking and a swimming pool. The hotel restaurant also provides delicious local food. Highly recommended. The staff at both reception and restaurant are very friendly and helpful. When we complained about the party noise on the same floor, they immediately changed our room to another floor, a quiet place. THANK YOU! The hotel room is clean and spacious, but the wall's sound isolation needs to be improved.

Very attractive entrance and surroundings with a stunning pool area, which included a bar, although service was slow. The rooms were basic and unfortunately my room was full of insects which caused my partner to suffer several bites, which required medical treatment. Food was ok but nothing special.

We stayed only one night in Agrigento, but should have stayed more. Il Segreti della Valle is in a great location easy to access the valley of temples. Gaetano, the host, was super friendly, professional and welcoming.

Truly one of the best Bed and Breakfasts I or we have ever done. We had both rooms, so practically the whole place to ourselves. The rooms are great. Nice little terrace attached to the rooms. Comfy beds. The breakfast is superb. Freshly made bruschette were really a hit. Fresh fruit as well. Nice bread with a huge selection of locally produced marmelades/jams. The hostess, Emma, is one of a kind. A sweet lady always trying to take care of you. Both in the the Bed and Breakfast but also in guiding you to nice places and things to do in the vicinity. Ask her for some restaurants tips. We tried all of here suggestions and were not disappointed. On the contrary. This is a superb Bed and Breakfast with a capital B & B.
