A car is required to go to restaurants and tourist attractions. The hotel is dated but clean and the sea views from our room balconies were amazing. The beach area around the hotel is not for swimming and not really walkable. A drive to nearby busies beaches like San Leone beach is recommended. The breakfast at the hotel is basic but recommended since you need to drive to the closest eating places. The swimming pool was nice and used as the beach nearby is not good for swimming. We liked our stay at the hotel because we had the convenience of a car and onsite parking.

This is a very clean, family-run hotel in which we have been going to for over ten years in Agrigento. The staff has always been exceptional to us! The pool is one of this hotel’s best features. The staff has given us excellent directions to all local attractions and wonderful restaurants in the area. Our room was quiet and extremely confortable for sleeping! This is our only choice for lodging wherever we are in Agrigento!!

The hotel and staff were both outstanding. Eros was very helpful and even aided us in getting air for our tire. The location was beautiful, but there were no shops or restaurants within walking distance. You will need a car or taxi to get around.

This property is located right by the sea, views are spectacular. Pool is clean and tended daily... loungers are washed, pool is cleaned and the whole hotel is mopped and cleaned daily. The maids are very efficient and beds are changed every other day, rooms have air conditioning. This is a very basic hotel, no room service and WiFi isn’t great. Absolutely love it here though, breakfast is fabulous, fresh, delicious food daily, coffee to order and the pool is a delight. Please note the family ‘apartment’ has a kitchen area which means you can go to the supermarket (5 mins drive away) and serve up a simple lunch for little money. Very lovely restaurant a short driving distance away. Running routes also good for an early morning/late evening run. Have been here before and will return many more times.

The location was excellent. Walking distance to the beach, and a short drive to the valley of the temples. The pool and breakfast buffet were fantastic. The only issue we had was that the wi-fi was not stable. It seemed to work best in the lobby.

Great Hotel
Great hotel for what we needed. Great pool, good service from the hotel staff. Rooms are a good size and very clean. Breakfast is adequate, typical continental. You will need a car if staying here as San Leone centre is about 3 miles away. We had a fantastic stay here and would definitely recommend it.

I was overly impressed with the facility being spotless and just super clean. The staff members were conversant in English and this surprised us a lot since most of the other facilities in the area did not have a great command of the language. They gave us excellent choices for restaurants and for local gym facilities!! We will definitely return to the hotel on our next trip to Sicily! This is a five star hotel in my opinion!

Very lovely hotel. Spacious room with great shower. Wish the room was a little cooler though. Maybe they wait till summer to pump up the air. We were there in the beginning of May. Would definitely recommend. Nice free breakfast and a restaurant is available for diner for a reasonable charge. Ate there one night. The food was good and convenient if you dont want to drive somewhere.

A room with a view
The hotel is situated next to the sea and a bit out of town. In season with the pool open and the pizza bar and resturant across the road it would be wonderful. The welcome from reception staff and quick service makes up for it at any time. The hotel is comfortable and smart inside the entrance area with sofas books and magazines. The rooms are large spacious and comfortable. Ours had a balcony overlooking the sea with a table and chairs..there was also a fridge and basic cooking facilities too. The bed linen and towels were of a high standard. Breakfast was of a good quality and varied, self service in a lovely breakfast room. The food was kept topped up by helpful staff. It was the first hotel we have stayed at in Sicily and we would recommend it highly. It is close to the tourist attraction,,The Valley of the Temples which we really enjoyed. Staff made us feel comfortable and at home and the sunsets were spectacular.

Spacious accommodations
My friends and I (three of us) had lots of space in our two-bedroom apartment (with balcony) at the Antica Perla Residence Hotel. The property, which has a large public lobby/lounge area, is bright and pretty. It is on the beach, but also has its own swimming pool. We came here for the Valley of the Temples. We could have stayed in the center of Agrigento, which sits on a hill overlooking the temples, but were happy to stay at a beach site, which provided an easier drive to and from the temples.

Basic hotel for the price
Went to Agrigento to visit the Valle di Templi and needed an affordable place, preferably close to a beach with a pool. This place fit the bill. Nothing fancy. Did the trick. My room was small but clean and the A/C worked well even when it was 40 degrees C (100 F). The beach right in front of the hotel is large, but extremely dirty with trash and litter everywhere. It seems people have no regard for the environment here and they just throw their plastic bottles and trash on the ground wherever it suits them. I found this to be very disturbing. There was also a lot of uncollected trash bins overflowing with rubbish along the streets, which is very unsightly. It's really too bad because this is a pretty decent hotel for the price, but it's in a trashy area. The pool at the hotel is nice, but it was very crowed with locals and kids so I really did not want to spend too much time there.

Relaxing after visiting the ruins
Antica Perla was a choice to offset hot and intense days visiting the splendid Greek temples and other ruins near Agrigento. It provided a relaxing pool/beachside scene, much used by families Relaxing after visiting the templeswith young children. A slight problem was the lack of amuch choice in places to east meals other than breakfast. Staff uniformly friendly and attentive. God value.

Decent hotel
The hotel on its own is a decent place - clean, comfortable if a a tad expensive for the location. The location is scary! The whole street is littered with garbage and before entering I was sure that I was in the wrong place. The beach is not a beach, but a dirty piece of beach totally unattended to- quite misleading. The management of the hotel should other insist that the city clean up the area or do it themselves. Unacceptable the way the area leads to the hotel. A shame that the city of Agrigento allows such unkempt areas - dirt all over the place!

Reasonable for a family
We booked late and this hotel was one of few reasonably priced for a family of 4. Cons: Intermittent strong smell of sewage surrounds the place. Old and basic amenities. Out of the way from the town and tourist sites, and so must have a car. Breakfast is basic.

Hotel by the sea
We had a great stay. We came to see the temples and instead of needing to drive through town traffic we went to the Med. which is on the other side of the temples. Bottom line - good location! We could hear the waves crashing in the Med from our hotel window! Breakfast had eggs, meat and excellent breads. When we checked in the kind woman at the desk said "welcome to my hotel". She did not appear to own this large hotel but it said volumes about its maintenance, general condition and overall appearance. The room had a kitchenette! We made pasta! Good grocery stores and restaurants nearby. You did need a car but we met a couple who did not have a car. Beautiful pool!

Nice an clean familty run hotel near Agrigento
Nice an very clean family run hotel away from the busy Agrigento, but close to the places worth visiting. A couple of restos at walking distance and quite a lot of very good ones at about 5km. Try the very spacious rooms with a seaview, absolutely fabulous! Just a pity that some parts of the local area are not as well maintained as they should be

Outside of Agrigento
Beautiful views of the beach and sparkling water from a large sunny terrace. Generous suite with two bedrooms and a full kitchen. Perfect location for a visit to the nearby sites (Valli de Templi!) without staying in the bustling/chaotic town of Agrigento. Friendly staff. Need a car to get to the hotel.

No services but on the ocean
The area is not great but this hotel is right on the ocean. There is no restaurant, no help with baggage, no laundry no dry cleaning, limited maid service, the safe did not work, and there was a smell in the room. The breakfast was not as good as others I have had in B&B's in Italy. The lobby is a bit shabby. The view is good, even from the balconies

Seaside beauty
The balcony views of the Sea were spectacular. The room had a small kitchen with stove and frig. The frig was stocked with some water, drinks for a few. There is a clothe dryer on balcony, which is convenient. Pool area is wonderful with loungers, tables and umbrellas. The road in was discouraging, but when you arrive it is worth the apprehension of run down area. Breakfast was good

A great find!
It took a bit of finding (as do most addresses in Sicily in my experience!), but this turned out to be a little jewel, a beautiful beach-front hotel with great facilities and brilliant staff. Well outside the noise and bustle of Agrigento and the wonderful Valley of Temples, yet easily in reach of all one could wish for. An ideal local touring base, I wish we had booked to stay longer and just chill out in relaxing bliss

Wonderful location and property
We were a family of 6 adults and 1 child. We loved this spot! It is out of the way of the hustle and bustle, but the ocean is right across the street - the view from the balcony was stunning, the pool was great as were our rooms! We were only a short drive to the Valley of Temples. It was about a 30 minute drive to city centre. Great place!
