Imposible to find something to say here

The Villa is just beside The Valley of the temples and also very close to the beach town of San Leone. I loved everything about this place: the location, the family who owns it, the animas they have, the cleanliness of the rooms, the breakfast, the pool. I wish we were staying longer here.

Villa San Marco is a piece of paradise! The location was amazing, as were the hosts. Salvatore and his father were very warm and welcoming, and the breakfast was exceptional with home made and local specialities. The room was big, clean and comfortable and the house garden an amazing place filled with flowers, peacocks and nice places to relax.

Some of the garden furniture was really dirty (but not the one where you eat breakfast). Also around the pool could be cleaner. The garden should be maintained better and than it could be perfect. We had a room for a family of four, but two beds (120x190 and 160x190) weren't enough. We asked for an extra bed, that we needed to pay extra. They shouldn't promote family room for four people. But it is very good for three people.

It was a very nice stay with the good view on the Temples. Distance to the Valley of Temples parking is only about 1,5 km. Salvatore was wery helpful with all his advices. Our daughters liked the presence of all the farm animals very much, eventhough that the animal's noises can wake you up at night. The pool is small, not so much as a relaxing zone, but still enough to cool you a little bit during the day. All the compliments deserves a breakfast. It's plentifull, sweet and salty, with home made jam, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and fresh fruit.

We loved absolutely everything. This B&B is outstanding. Our room was large, comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed. It also had a view towards the archeological park and a terrace to sit on in the evening. We had full use of the grounds and pool, lots of places to sit outside. Beer,wine,soft drink and water is provided in fridges with an honesty box in the main house. There are lots of animals housed behind the main house and peacocks, dogs (very friendly) and cats roam around. Breakfast is amazing and huge. Lots of local produce is used. We were lucky enough to be there on one of the nights they provided dinner....so much excellent food and wine....I couldn't move afterwards! The staff are truly amazing. Helpful, kind and friendly. They assisted us with some travel issues we had (no train or bus to our next destination as we didn't have a car), they definitely went above and beyond to help which we truly appreciated. We didnt want to leave. 2 nights went so quickly. Highly recommend this amazing place

The road that leads to the property even if short is somewhat frustrating as it's an extremely narrow double way dirt road that forces one of the two cars to full reverse back at the entrance to let the other pass.

Spectacular location with a full view of the temples. The property is HUGE and stunning. Animals and country side vibes are a huge addition to a modern and fully functional and equipped facility. The hosts are just great and helpful and the local produce breakfast was just absolutely amazing. The property exceeded our expectations in every way and we deeply regret that we booked for one night only.

Room was a little dated but very comfortable and clean. It has a kitchen with refrigerator and dishes. The upstairs room we were in had steep and scary stairs to get up to it.

A lovely, family friendly spot with a clear view of the Valley of the Temples. You feel as though you're staying with family. It has a country feel though it's just a few minutes outside town. The breakfast is amazing, and you can also add the multi course dinner, also amazing. The family that runs the place has had this land since the 1830s. A very special place. Nice little pool and friendly dogs and peacocks.

Bit of TLC wouldn't go a miss but for the price, it's excellent.

From the moment we arrived (the track in was a bit rough, but so worth it!) Salvatore made us feel part of the extended family that run this place. A real family affair indeed. What an eclectic, relaxing time we had. Would highly recommend!

We're light sleepers, so there are downsides to staying in a traditional place near lots of farm animals. We fully understood, though, that this was what we were getting ourselves into when we booked.

What a special property! You can see the three main temples of the Valley of the Temples from the pool and the breakfast desk, and the villa is magisterial. Best of all, the hosts are INCREDIBLE!

Stayed in June 2023

In the family room the second double bed was quite small for an 11 and 7 year old to share.

The children loved the animals, especially the piglets! The location and view of the ruins was fantastic and the owners were helpful and friendly.

Great farm stay hotel in the shadow of the Valley of the Temples. Great breakfast. The hotel offered a fantastic locally sourced 3 course meal on the night we were there which was unexpected. Staff was extremely helpful, Will happily stay in this hotel if we ever find ourselves in Agrigento again.

We had underestimated the nightly noise from local wildlife - the peacocks were fine, but there were several dogs nearby barking loudly well into the early hours. We had hoped to be able to walk to the Valley of the Temples from the property but that wasn't an option.

A beautiful property with views of the Valley of Temples and an eccentric variety of wildlife. Staff were exceptionally helpful and the breakfast has to be seen to be believed. The swimming pool is very small but still a bonus.

Nothing. Just be aware that animals make noises - peacocks wake up very early. If you are a sensitive sleeper or silence-lover, this place might not be good for you (or get proper earplugs).

This is one of the best experiences we ever had in Italy if not at all. Rustic farm with a lot of animals - peacock, donkey, sheep, birds, cat, dogs etc. Views on valley of temples from the common terrace. Very cute spacious rooms in a farm style. Amazing family and their hospitality, who are super helpful, speak pretty good English and serve the most delicious homemade breakfast from their own products- eggs, yoghurt, marmalade’, fried vegetables. I hope we can come back one day and re-experience it.

As said, the 1,5 km road could be better, but this is no deal breaker, totally worth the trip!

The most wonderful accommodation we've ever had in Sicily! The villa is amazingly beautiful, we only wish we spent more time there, as it's the most beautiful place in Agrigento, better than any attractions or the city center. Agrigento in itself is not that amazing, what's most worth it is the Valley of the Temples which can also be accessed from the villa, but illegally, as the villa is located within the park. So you can reach the middle of the park, without going through security checks and tickets office. You could also pay online though, and go. As we only stayed one day, and came by car, we chose the legal way: parked the car at Gate V, took the 3 EUR per person taxi to the other start and only walked the way back (2,5 hour promenade). This was also recommended by our lovely host. Lovely views of the temples from the villa too! The hosts at Villa San Marco are all incredibly kind, helpful, but also not intrusive or too talkative, giving you intimacy. It's a family business, they all live there in the big villa, but only the breakfast area and the pool are common areas, as you have your own room with separate entrance, outside the big amazing villa. Delicious homemade breakfast! Don't get discouraged by the terrible country road to the villa, starting at the Q8 gas station, about 1,5 km long. We were pretty terrified on our first way there, but as our host said, only the first time is traumatising. :) Then you get used to it, and if you drive slowly, you can safely pass back and forth as many times as needed. LOVED IT!!! Would return to Agrigento simply for one more night at this wonderful accommodation.

The ‘road’ into the property is very badly rutted.

This is a magical place with uninterrupted views to the Valley of the Temples. It is the best B&B ever. We stayed in the terrace room which has a view over the property to the sea. The room was extremely comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities, a small fridge and a well equipped bathroom. The Italian breakfast was a feast with home cooked treats , fresh juice and good espresso coffee. The property itself is beautiful with fruit trees, an olive grove and peacocks roaming around the beautiful gardens. The donkey, pigs and other animals were a bonus. The family were very hospitable.

Everything about this place is a bit magical. The amazing view of the Valley of the Temple’s was breathtaking. The hosts were incredibly kind and gracious. The breakfast was some of the best food we had all trip. And we loved hanging with the animals! Oh, and if you’re lucky enough to be there when they offer dinner, absolutely say yes.

It was an absolutely beautiful property with an amazing view of the temples. Family were on and they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend staying there and wish we could’ve stayed longer.

We stayed at Villa San Marco to finish off our honeymoon in Italy, and our stay couldn't have been more special. Staff are so lovely and helpful, the pool area and breakfast were spectacular. We loved meeting all the animals and the farm had a real family feel. We especially appreciated the beer and wine on site, sorting a takeaway pizza after a long day travelling, and tips on getting easy access to the Valley of the Temples nearby. We can't thank you enough!

Very beautiful place! What a wiev to the tmples from here and even from swimming pool or room window! Owners are very polite, friendly. Good brekfast. Clean room. Here you can stay in calm oasis with lot of birds :) The driving road is not so difficult as I imagined, just country road, easy to find marking signs or follow navigation.

last km to get there quite bumpy, makes the property secluded though 😝

the surroundings, the garden and the view are incredible, Salvatore and his family are very welcoming and proud of their roots making guests experience very authentic. Delicious and genuine breakfast

If you are a pet owner, stay here! The Villa San Marco has been owned by the same family since the 1820s. It is situated in the beautiful valley of temples, just below the majestic temples themselves. It is a historic dwelling, used as a holiday retreat by the entire family who all share responsibility. The villa has been lovingly preserved over the years, with its original stone walls and ornate wooden trim still intact. Inside, its many of the 5 rooms are outfitted with antique furniture and decorations, creating a timeless atmosphere. The grounds of the villa featured gardens and paths, farm animals, and a perfect outdoor seating area with panoramic views. This villa is a reminder of the past, and a wonderful place to stay for those looking to get away from the city center, while still only a half mile away. But what really makes this special? The entire family and how welcoming they are. I saw how hard they work, and how much passion they have hosting each and every person. Such a wonderful experience, and Bolt and I will be back! www.roadslesscycled.com
