What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms and suites are crisp and contemporary, and furnished with outdoor lounge space, featuring either plunge pools, hot tubs, or Jacuzzis.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Valley of the Temples sits five minutes away, with Agrigento's historic center just a short drive inland.
The rooms
Rooms open onto private sun terraces, and select suites include their own heated plunge pools overlooking the valley.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool looks out toward the Mediterranean, with a swim-up bar serving drinks right in the water.
The spa and gym
Massages in the treatment cabins use Sicilian botanicals, and the glass-walled gym looks straight across the countryside.
At the table
Breakfast tables look across the valley toward the temples, and Ambrosia serves evening dinners made with estate-grown produce.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from the ancient Doric columns standing across the Valley of the Temples.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
