Beautiful, charming and unique property with views of the temples. The best breakfast we had in all of Sicily. The property is lush with plants and so welcoming.

Access track was initially a concern but soon got used to and added to the character

Wonderful location overlooking Valley of the Temples in large grounds and with a real Sicilian family as welcoming hosts

I believe this is the best accommodation to stay in while visiting Agrigento, making a stretch of dirt road worthwhile driving to get there. Being inside the Valle dei Templi National Park, it still retains old Sicilian countryside charm, immersed in Mediterranean macchia trees, surrounded by orchards and olive groves. The view of the temples just added to the magic... Old structures are nicely renovated and have all of the modern comforts. The owners are very attentive and courteous. Breakfast - superb.

Some people may be put off by the narrow and dusty and rutted 1.2km road , but it didn’t bother us ( we’re Aussies, we can take it ! ) , it was part of the charm .

Wonderful farm like rural property but in the heart of Agrigento’s historical sites - you can clearly see the Temple of Concordia just 750m away on a hill, from the swimming pool or dining deck . Rooms have everything you need , Aircon, kettle, and there’s onsite parking and lots of delightful animals like miniature piglets, peacocks , lots of birds , to pet .

Super wonderful experience - the Villa is gorgeous, the owners are very welcoming and gracious, the property is very unique with peacocks and nice dogs give a feel of a rustic authenticity, the hospitality is exceptional, delicious breakfast is a must. The unpaved road leading to the villa is bit tricky - be careful but it's not as bad as it might seem at first. We drove to and from the villa a few times and it's not too bad. Recommend with great enthusiasm!

At first we were intimidated by the dirt road leading to the B&B. Very rough, narrow with huge potholes. But by the third time driving it, we became pros at dealing with it.

Ideally located, very close to the Park and very close to the city. It's a family owned farm complete with wandering peacocks, dogs, cats, and lots of cute piglets. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, served on a patio overlooking the temples. The view at night was magical too...the temples are lighted and you can see them from your room.

We didn't have a problem with the dirt road to the B&B with the SUV we were driving , but be ready to drive on ruts in the road. The distance on the dirt road is not far.

It was wonderful to stay at this quirky B&B on a family farm, with friendly dogs and incredible views of the Greek temples. Breakfast was wonderful homemade food including orange marmelade made from oranges grown on site. There are excellent restaurants a few minutes drive from the B&B if you don't want to go into Agrigento town for dinner. We could stay only one night and then see the temples the following morning; I wish we had time to spend another night here and take time for the museum and to explore Agrigento town, and also to spend more time relaxing in this peaceful rural setting. Communication with the hosts was excellent, including detailed instructions with photos of where to find the road to the B&B. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place for a family trip with a garden where our kids played and lots of animals within the hotel area - like even several peacocks ! Also it's situated with an incredible view of valley of temples. The breakfast is yummy and everything is home made. I would suggest improving the swimming pool and pool area a little and propose dinner at the hotel as well. If you would like to go to a restaurant the closest nice restaurants are 20 minutes walking distance. Overall a great experience !

Absolute unique place and experience. Family hosts were THE BEST.

The road in is very rough and goes on for quite a distance. It discouraged us from going out at night for dinner. We were also surprised that we had to pay 12 euros each for breakfast, which we thought, from the Booking.com description was included. The breakfast was worth it but the cost was unexpected and it was not easy to drive out and go somewhere nearby if we did not want to pay.

The people. There was also some good food, for breakfasts and dinners, if you wanted to pay for that extra. Then there is the location and looking out over the ruins during the day or lit up at night. The room was quite spacious and had we brought food we could have made our own meals. There was a wall of windows and sliding doors which allowed us to watch the peacocks strutting about. Still it was the people running the place and the little extras they did that made it nice.

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,

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.

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.
