Quiet elegance, the kind of place where everything just works and is exactly what we needed. Like other reviewers, once I discovered the tranquility of Villa Diana, I wished we'd booked another night or two. Very comfortable beds, lovely linens, felt like a reset, that unquantifiable confirmation that yes, this is a vacation. Huge bathrooms with massive bathtub and excellent shower. Breakfast was lovely for several reasons. Diana makes marmalades from fruit trees on their farm and oil from their olive trees. The abundant tables also include fresh eggs from their chickens, plush cakes bursting with fresh preserves, plates of local meats and cheese, honey from their farm, and coffee any way you like it. But in addition to the lovely food, the thoughtfully set tables, and the overall elegance of the space, there is a tone of welcoming camaraderie and space for leisurely chats. In terms of the property, it is a villa with a working farm. We arrived in the early afternoon and sat for a while on our balcony enjoying the expansive view of the hills and farmlands of Agrigento. At night, it's was so very quiet and star-studded. In the morning, we opened our balcony doors to birdsong and the sound of chickens and goats. Honestly, idyllic. At the center of everything is Dario, who kindly welcomed us, showed us his land, his farm, gave us tips for enjoying Agrigento's history and engaging with its vibrant present. We hope to return and spend more time.

You feel like a family guest in this old fashioned home in an olive grove on a working farm. Everything at breakfast is home made or local. The rooms are equipped with every amenity while still feeling like a private home. Every room has a huge terrace. The host is incredibly helpful.

The restaurant recommendations were also excellent. We would happily stay here again. As for the location it is a short drive to the Valley of the Temples, and the parking is free and protected.

Villa Diana is a hidden gem! So much attention is given to every detail. Every corner of this grand home tells a story. Our breakfast was served in a beautiful dining area decorated with fine china and heirloom pieces. We savored our delicious breakfast which included local cheeses, fresh eggs, the best perked coffee we’ve had in Sicily and Diana’s home made jams and hot out of the oven lemon tart. Our hosts Dario and Diana welcomed us into their home and made us feel like family.A five star rating for an experience we will always remember. We will be back for a home cooked dinner and another round of your homemade lemoncello!

We loved our stay at Villa Diana! Highly recommend. From the outside, Villa Diana doesn't look like much, but inside it is beautiful and the history of the home and the owners and hosts, Dario and Diana, are wonderful! Our room was beautiful and clean with all amenities we needed. Pretty views from the balcony. There are some small donkeys and goats on the property as well, which was a blast. My girlfriend and I enjoyed seeing them and petting the very cute donkeys! The best part of Villa Diana are the owners, Diana and Dario. Villa Diana is their family home that they now operate as a B&B. They are truly wonderful and warm people, super attentive to all their guests needs. The food we had as part of the included breakfast was some of the best we've eaten in Sicily, which included all homemade pastries, cakes, jams, etc. courtesy of Diana. Last, it was our anniversary that day in Agrigento and Dario recommended a nice restaurant in the area for us and got us reservations and a beautiful table with a view of the ruins there. I can't say enough about the hospitality and service of everyone at Villa Diana. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay and the host was fun to discuss history and the local area with. The breakfast is excellent with a great sampling of local foods and the jams, breads, cakes all made right there! It would be difficult to stay there without a car but if you have one it is conveniently located outside of town so you can access the Temples or a restaurant with temple views at night without driving through agrigento. If you are interested in animals they raise the local type of goat that has been in the area for centuries and had almost gone extinct. You will see the goats on the Temple tour as well. As our host advised us, get up and get to the Temples early to avoid the heat and the rush and go knowing you’ve not only seen ancient Sicilian history during your stay but a little slice of country Sicily at the B&B.

For avoidance of doubt we would like to clarify that nothing is changed about the management of Villa Diana. Villa Diana was built like our family home for many, many years; for over 15 years we continue to host from over the world with highest quality. Same owners and same pleasure to share our home with our guests. Travel is, above all, try to understand and try to share an experience. Even if we stay in villa, we can usually travel with our guests. Thank you to all guests that make us live this! This time the visitors did not ask in order to understand and know, they did not allow us to travel with them, but we would have liked.

Dear guest, it's nice to confirm us Villa Diana was and is still, for you, the ''quiet location'' to stay and relax, and to get to which ....'' definitely need a car''! Thank you! Of course, we are in agreement. You need a car, really, but you need a car to visit Sicily! When you think about the lack of parking areas in the city, you will agree that we should say better: ''Definitely need a parking''. And, in Villa Diana the parking there is. It is free, very large and safe because inside the property! Villa Diana is a small farm also, with many animals and these same chickens whose fresh eggs you have enjoyed for breakfast. That buffet breakfast is described as excellent by all our guests, who always pay attention to the quality and taste of the products we offer. Concerning the breakfast, in fact, we take care of the freshness and the authenticity of food, although, often, this entails a considerable effort. Local cheese to taste with special jams, fresh ricotta of sheep milk, home-made jams... About our eggs, we raise our chickens on the ground, without traditional feed, rich in hormones and chemicals, but with vegetables and fresh fruit, and that definitely determines different costs and a big commitment of time. To deliver this higher quality a small fee is needed, but we inform in advance our guests of this. Guest can choose. If this choice falls, however, on the green-light blue eggs of our Araucana hen, maybe it's worth it making demanding decision to taste something of different! Something, we've probably never tested before. We agree on most matters. At the end, is unclear, why not come back? We would like talk all of this with you, and we could agree that we need to be outside, but just outside, of town. We need to tell, again, ''quiet location'', easy parking, small farm with genuine taste of food very close to the Valley of the Temples, the city of Agrigento, and the Farm Cultural Park of Favara town.
