By reading earlier reviews we knew already: the road can be a challenge but also adds a bit to the excitement.

We liked the location, in the countryside but by car very close to Agrigento and the Valle dei Templi. Nice homemade breakfast on a terrace with view on the Templi. We had room 1, with 2 benches to enjoy the sun and also a covered terrace. Big bathroom. Our children loved the animals, especially the dogs. Very friendly host, Salvatore. Relaxed atmosphere.

Wonderful property right in the park with views of the 3 main temples. Exactly as described with peacocks and dogs roaming and various other animals on site. Fantastic breakfast and staff were fantastic and super helpful. Overall a delightful stay

It is a long, rough dirt road to get to the place, which we weren’t expecting.

It is located within the archeological park and you can seem all of the ancient temples from the patio. We’ll never forget seeing the full moon over the Temple of Concordia as we made our way to our room. The breakfast was abundant and filled with food made from the farm’s produce.

The only downside was the dirt track on the approach to the building (circa 1.3km) but we were told about it before arriving.

An amazing location. Great family run business. Very friendly and helpful. Amazing views of the temples from the terrace. Lots of information provided in advance and detailed photos of how to reach the Villa. A very reasonably priced dinner was provided on the terrace over looking the temples in all their glory. They have lots of animals including a beautiful peacock,

Access road has deep ruts in places, WiFi in our room was very weak but ok in the main house

Family atmosphere, good food, views and location

The road leading into Villa San Marco was unsealed and a bit rough in parts but was only about one kilometre in length and there was not much traffic on it so it was not really a problem.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and we had a fabulous view both at night and during the day of the Valley of the Temples archaeological site from the main eating area where we had our breakfasts and dinner one night. A truly exceptional place to stay at.

A welcoming oasis with lovely dogs, passionate and caring hosts and the best breakfast in Sicily. This is a quirky place with animals and birds around the place but filled with care and attention for guests. In addition to your room there are lovely spaces to sit outside in a beautiful garden as well as shared rooms for guest use. the family are welcoming and Salvatore sorts out directions to the Villa, can direct you anyway, takes care of guests and loves his town, and his enthusiasm is infectious. The family make breakfast and even arranged ours early as we were travelling the next dad. The father welcomed us at breakfast and we ate jam made from fruit and flowers grown at the Villa, as well home made yoghurt (delicious) and omlettes. You feel part of the family.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa San Marco. The setting is so magical and the family who operates the B&B are beyond accommodating, welcoming and lovely. Our room was huge and the bed was incredibly comfortable and everything was spotless. Don't be afraid of the drive in; it's just a dirt road with some bumps but trust your GPS and go slow and it's no problem at all. I wish we could have stayed another night or more but we made the most of our time by taking a dip in the lovely pool, visiting the animals, walking the grounds a bit, and having a great night's sleep followed by the excellent and abundant breakfast. Agritourismos are the way to go and Villa San Marco is truly a gem!

Everything was excellent.

Villa San Marco is an extraordinary lodging! Can't say enough good things about it. The rooms are unique in size and furnishings, with tremendous character. The breakfast is huge. Dinner on the terrace was fabulous, with a near view of the illuminated Valley of the Temples. We also stayed here 12 years ago and were thrilled to return. Vincenzo and his wonderful family make you feel like special guests.

Excellent location to Valley of the Temples. You get a poolside view of the temples! Welcoming and casual feel to the place. Very friendly hosts.

A wonderfully unique place to stay to visit the valley of the temples. It is a little hard to find but there were many helpful neighbors who pointed us (and even led us) in the right direction. The family who runs the hotel was very friendly and accommodating.

Wow, what an awesome place to stay! The location is perfect, rural but very easy to get to the Valley of Temples and Agrigento. Our hosts were such amazing people, really passionate about providing excellent service for their guests. They have 3 lovely dogs and a host of other animals. The room was very clean and comfortable and shared a kitchen area with one other room. The facilities in both were perfect for our stay. Breakfast was fantastic, everything was homemade and tasted delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Extremely hospitable and friendly and helpful, excellent location for accessing Valley of the Temples ( a few minutes drive), quiet at night. This is an old farmhouse built around 1820, and added onto over the years. The extended family lives here, and it’s nice to see the generations interact. Our room was on the top floor, which we were not expecting, so if you don’t like a staircase make sure the host knows. The farm has animals, but I didn’t think their pen looked clean, and their water was filthy and running low in a very hot climate. But the guests are very well looked after.

Gorgeous location and lovely view of temples. The guinea pigs and dogs were a hoot. Everyone in the host family was friendly and helpful. The plants were varied and interesting, the decor was unique and personal. Just wonderful!

A little breakfast variety every few days would be nice.

I loved this place. Peacocks, pigs, dogs running around. Views that were spectacular with ruins. Nice pool and the nicest people ever that run it and own it.

This property was peaceful and quiet with loads of private nooks for solitude in the out of doors. Breakfast was hearty. Salvatore was extremely helpful.

ONLY thing is beds could use some updating or a foam mattress pad.

Proximity to temples and town, charm of being on a lovely farm homestead made for guests to lounge outside and wander freely
