We were fortunate enough to get a free upgrade to a higher class suite and it was absolutely perfect. The room was great, nice and clean and the front desk staff were very accommodating. Definitely worth the stay and only 15 minutes from the Valley of Temples which had a significant cost saving by staying there rather than staying in Agrigento.
Very beautiful hotel, nice and modern infrastructure. Close by there are nice restaurants. It’s really in the middle of the town. This makes it also hard to get there (quite small streets - takes some skilful driving and navigating). We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace with jacuzzi.
Beautifully remodeled property. Elegant and spacious. Excellent restaurant. Staff was charming and extremely helpful. Also provided valet parking. Would highly recommend.
Hotel is lovely. Right on the square where there are local restaurants and bars.
I wouldn't venture out of this area though as nothing else in the locality.
Ensure you ask for directions to the hotel before if you are driving as satnav can take you on some very narrow streets
Everything is super clean and brand new. We had three rooms and everyone loved their rooms and the hotel. As others have said, finding it the first time can be a challenge. I'd recommend following the signs rather than followng Googles crazy route. A great hotel experience overall
A modern hotel using the facade of an older building.
In the centre of town, just off the main square.
Comfortable modern room.
Restaurant.
Staff all helpful and pleasant
The hotel is in an excellent location and the staff are very friendly. The apartment is huge like a luxury penthouse with a fantastic view from the terrace.
Location and drive to and from were awful. Hotel was beautiful and very comfortable. Restaurant was great. It had to be because nothing else decent was close.
A very nice hotel, very helpful staff, breakfast was great. Also a very nice restaurant with fantastic wines
Just watch whatapp for directions if driving to hotel ...I missed those and relied on Google which sends you down streets too narrow for a car.
Hotel is very nice in unlikely setting. Very convenient to Valley of the Temples. Restaurant was outstanding!
Lighting in the room was poor, especially the bathroom.
All else was satisfactory.
The hotel was beautifully designed within the confines of an historic edifice. The hotel staff were amazing! They spoke English and were extremely helpful in answering our questions regarding directions and points of interest. Before we arrived they had sent a message on the easiest way to get to the hotel. The streets of Favara can get really narrow so the directions were a plus! It's located off a little square that has restaurants and shops and not too far from the main street which makes it easy to go to other towns. Up the street is a beautiful church that should not be missed! Overall we would highly recommend this hotel!
We spent three nights here and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The bedroom was large with a very comfortable bed. The hotel has been tastefully refurbished. Breakfast was good - we especially liked the freshly squeezed orange juice and the crema del pistacchio.
Dinner was very good.
This is a short drive to the Valley of the Temples and, I think, a nice alternative to Agrigento. Favara is a reviving town and the drive in is a little daunting and seemingly desolate. The hotel is right off the main square, but your GPS will bring you in through some very narrow streets and turns. Go to the main square and walk up the street to the hotel and ask them to park your car. It will reduce your stress level. The hotel and its staff and restaurant are GREAT! See the Farm art collective with its restaurants, and visit the Almond Museum. We were there in the off season, so the main square was a little dead and not all the art collective restaurants were open. Still a highlight.
