Location is very nice. Nice view
But they charge me previous guest’s fee.
I was very surprised.
Five star hotel did that kind of thing?
I am still waiting for the refund that charges.
The Villa Athena is an amazing luxury hotel with an amazing location. With a direct view of Greek temples, as well as private access, sets this property apart from others. In addition the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. We also enjoyed our private balcony with direct access to the property and pool area. The staff was welcoming and attentive. I like the size of the resort as it feels more intimate and personalized. We also took advantage of the amazing restaurant as well. We will definitely return for another stay in the future.

Perfect location for visiting Valley of the Temples (walkable), dinner and breakfast excellent
Amazing hotel. The food was delicious, the room was charming, spa was very convenient but tue best part is the location and the view! Would definitely recommend this hotel.
Great location if you intend to visit the Vally of the Temples! We had a wonderful guide,Nicoletta, and it made the visit much more fun and pleasant.
Only a few rooms actually have the view of the Valley of the temple, so if you are intent on getting one of those rooms, directly communicate with the hotel to make sure you won't be disappointed upon arrival.
Staff was attentive, courteous and professional. Rooms clean with great A/C, especially great during the major heat wave experienced.
Booked last minute and could not be happier. My wife and I had a first class experience. The food, the service the amazing breakfast and of course the stunning views of the temples. Our experience just felt special. The room was clean, quiet, great shower, everything top drawer.
This was a beautiful hotel with gorgeous landscaping and outdoor seating areas. Breakfast was delicious. The dining patio, looking out at the lit up temple was magic. The pool was lovely although chilly and the rooms had every amenity, even a Dyson hair dryer. We wish we had had an extra day to enjoy the hotel.
Absolutely perfectly located to visit the valley of the temples. The temples are visible from everywhere around the property. The facilities of the hotel are excellent - pool, Turkish shower in the room, etc…. Don’t expect a late checkout during high season. The restaurant was so-so and very expensive, especially for children’s meals. Take advantage of direct accesses to the Archeologic park from the property by buying your ticket/tour from the hotel and enjoy a 15 minute hike through an orchard and into the park.
Beautiful views and hotel, excellent service, has restaurants, gym, spa and pool.

As expensive as it is the rooms were invested with ants and humid and not super comfortable. The beds were ok. You stay here for the view and accessibility to the archaeological park. Restaurant is lovely and food is amazing.
Excellent options from the menu.
Fit both of our tastes.

If you’re visiting the Valley of the Temples and nearby sights, this hotel’s location inside the archaeological park is a real plus. That said, there are other hotel options just a 5-10 minute drive away.
As for the 5-star and SLH label, it feels like a stretch. Yes, there’s a pool, a restaurant, and a gym, but the rooms and overall experience don’t really live up to that rating. You’re paying a premium mainly for the in-park location. Staff were pleasant enough, but compared to other hotels in Sicily, I wouldn’t call this a true 5-star property.
