Colleverde Park Hotel - Agrigento

9.2

The hotel staff speaks many languages and is happy to share their Sicilian culture with you. The food was excellent at both breakfast and dinner. The location is within two K of the beautiful Valley of the Temples. There is a limited number of restaurants in walking distance. Our room had a lovely view of the Temples.

9.1

lovely hotel with wonderful gardens. staff could not be more courteous and helpful. very good views of valley of temples.

7.2

Location is very convenient. We had a great view of Temple Concordia from the restaurant. It would be much better if the room would be a little clearer.

4.8

Initially given a room inwhich we had to climb a spiral staircase on the fourth floor. Toilet ran for extended period after flushing. Got a new room with a slanted down mirror which I could only imagine what its purpose was for. For the four star price charged it was only worth two stars. Also I believe my card was used at the hotel or internet computer without my permission to pay "Ian Travel Services", my credit card is investigating it.

8.7

very good location. we had the room have direct view to the temple. it was great! Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed during our one night stay. but, the restaurant opposite the hotel which recommended by reception staff was really nice. plenty of parking space. The garden is beautiful.

6.3

The location of this hotel is its strong point (near the archeological sites and out of the city of Agrigento), and the gardens are well-maintained. The rooms are mediocre in all aspects, including cleanliness, but adequate for the price. The service level of the staff is the weakest element. There are enough staff, but they need customer orientation training as they are far below the usual Italian standard.

7.4

Great location for visiting the old town and the temples, friendly helpful staff. The only negative was the restaurant which we used one night. Food OK (not great) but take your own atmosphere! It was full of older people whispering and felt a bit like eating in a morgue.

muy buena ubicaciòn , confortable el cuarto y muy buenas las instalaciones

9.9

Excellent location in the Valley of temples. Great view!

9.4

all ok

8.8

Nice hotel with good restaurant and lovely gardens. Views over Valley of the Temples which is an easy 1km walk to visit.

6.6

very busy hotel not too far from the archeological excavations. easy to park and a good restaurant

5.1

Le point fort de cet hotel est le jardin, mais malheureusement cela s'arrete la - on en profite meme pas pour prendre le petit dejeuner ou le diner; personnel froid, chambre tres petite, on se demande ou sont passees les 4 etoiles...

8.2

pas trés loin de la vallée des temples avec parking intégré et trés beau jardin pour se ballader sur la cour arriere de l'hotel; dommage que le service de petit dejeuner ne soit pas assuré en exterieur... Chambre Simple avec vue sur les temples le soir;aller au restaurant sur la route parallele au temple et opposé à l'hotel(Pizzeria excellente et vue splendide sur les temples eclairés)

9.1

Hotel ideale per visitare Agrigento vista incantevole sulla Valle dei Templi, servizio impeccabile.

3.5

Struttura vecchia mai restaurata. Non può assolutamente definirsi un 4 stelle... forse una volta! Il giardino è carino. Al ristorante si mangia malissimo ed è molto caro, se potete evitatelo! La colazione è buona. Per raggiungere la valle dei templi o il centro di Agrigento è necessaria la macchina.

8.9

Beautiful gardens. Small rooms but good location near Temples. Long walk to sites but short car ride. Breakfast no eggs, only fair selection. Desk staff pleasant at check in and helpful about local restaurants. Several restaurants within a block of hotel. Internet access at modest price. Pleasant sitting room near bar. Bar service attentive. Hotel parking available at no extra charge. A little difficult to find but locals knew where it was.

9.1

This hotel provided us with the reasonable quality of facility and services as a four star hotel. Its garden was the best among the hotels we stayed in Italy.

7.5

Hotel & room OK Restauration: Poor choice - Poor quality - Poor service

3.7

Positive-close to Archelogical site. Negative-almost totally inadequate service personnel. Room very small..no view. Would not change room to one with view. No bell service.

8.4

The hotel is very nice. While our room was rather small, the common areas, outside patios and gardens are very pleasant for relaxation. The breakfast was good, and dinner in the restaurant was very tasty. We would stay here again.

9.3

The hotel is well placed to visit the temples, you can walk (but the site is huge). Meals were excellent and all staff very helpfull. There is an open air restauant which does have a delightful view over the temple area. We enjoyed every aspect of our visit

6.4

Very good panorama from the restaurant of the hotel but bad quality

7.2

The only interesting thing was the view over the Valley of the Temples and to the sea. The hotel was far from the city center.

10

the staff was very helpful, good hospitality...we really liked everything about this place!

8.6

Great view of the temples from our room (326), especially when lighted at night. Very spacious room in immaculate condition. Excellent meal in restaurant, attentively served. Courteous staff. Only difficulty was in finding the hotel as it was not well signed on the route from Agrigento.

10

The hotel wasn't easy to find, and the location is quite busy, not bucolic as it looks in the photograph. Once onto the grounds, however, we liked it a lot. Our room looked out over a garden and onto the Valley of the Temples, which was not, however, within walking distance. We had an excellent meal in the hotel restaurant, which had only two other groups to serve that night, right before Christmas, 2004.

Agradable hotel y muy bonito jardín donde se puede desayunar de manera muy agradable

6.0

I would have rated the overall stay higher because The Colleverde Hotel is in a nice location and most of the staff were very friendly and courteous. However, we had one problem with booking online versus the room we received. When I booked online, I requested, paid, and received a reservation for a "double deluxe room". However, when I arrived at the hotel, the woman in reception said she had no more view rooms available and told me that she had sent me a E-mail (at home) to tell me this. Unfortunately, I left my house the morning after I booked this hotel. Upon returning home from holiday, I had not received any such E-mail. My only complaint about this hotel is that they did not have a double deluxe room to offer me (as I had booked and paid for at 145 Euros per night)Therefore, they should have decreased my room rate to 120 Euros per night which was the rate on the Venere site for a double standard room. The normal rate on the room that the hotel gave me had a price range; the highest rate was 145 which means I paid full rate for the hotel room. If Colleverde had told Venere or myself about the room situation, I could have changed my reservation to a double standard room. In essence, I paid an extra 50 Euros for no reason at all.

8.6

Very comfortable hotel with excellent views from the breakfast/restaurant tables looking down on the Valley of the Temples. Lush gardens offer a nice break form the bustle of the town.

8.7

A very nice hotel indeed in an excellent location. It is only a pity that it has not a swimming pool although the garden is exotic and relaxing. Highly recommended. Although the room is in the name of Joe Mejlak it is only the undernamed who have organised all. In fact this address is in my name. Regards. FRANK MUSCAT

7.0

Although the hotel has a large garden, it would be very much improved were it to have a swimming pool to be able to cool down after walking around the valley of the temples. The room we had was spacious enough, but had we wished to unpack our cases, there would not have been enough storage space for our belongings.

8.0

Il ne manque qu'une piscine dans ce charmant hotel. Necessite une voiture pour aller en ville. Sinon bon rapport qualite prix pour le secteur. La chambre pour quatre est tres spacieuse.

8.2

Excellent quality hotel in close proximity to Valley of the Temples. Our stay was enjoyable. We got the impression that most guests only stayed for 1 or 2 nights and were touring around. We found it more than adequate for a longer stay. The staff were helpful with information on places to visit. Agrigento is not an especially inspiring town to be based in however

10

Very nice hotel with quiet room overlooking the temples in the valley, free parking, good restaurant in the hotel plus another one (Ristorante Dei Templi) just across the street, CNN on tv

7.6

A good hotel, outside the centre of Agrigento, bit of a walk or a drive to the shops and restaurants up the hill.

8.6

Colleverde Park Hotel is in an excellent location overlooking the ancient Greek ruins in Agrigento. The location is perfect for exploring the ruins. The hotel is clean, the rooms are spacious and the staff is welcoming. Dinner served in the dining room was good, although the breakfast table was limited

7.2

Pleasant hotel, if a little lacking in character. Located half-way between town centre and Valley of Temples (each about 1.5-2 km distant), so not comfortable walking distance to either), but takes advantage of good views across Valley of Temples. Very friendly and obliging staff.

10

Good location for Valley of the Temples. A bit on the pricey side, but maybe all of Agrigento is expensive.

8.7

THe gardens and the site are very beautiful.

8.4

Excellent position close to the temples. The evening tour offered at the desk is worthwhile. Looks better than the photos suggest though the decor is a little dated.

5.4

The hotel could best be described as comfortable but over-priced. Breakfast was poor and the staff surly although reception staff were very pleasant.

8.1

This was a lovely property -- the inside is much prettier inside than the external fascade. The location is great. The rooms were, I think, overpriced for what we got. I must say that the outside patios were beautiful, the interior decor left much to be desired.

10

This hotel was terrific. The room was spacious and the bathroom facilities modern. The location near the Valley of the Temples and town was also terrific. The only problem we had was parking one night. Because of the view from the garden, the hotel hosts a lot of weddings and events. One of the nights we stayed, there was a wedding and they didn't reserve parking for the clients of the hotel. It was nearly impossible to get in and out of the parking lot and we had to leave the car keys at the desk so they could move the car when the wedding ended. In the scheme of things, not a big deal. Overall quality for the price was excellent!

8.1

Very friendly and helpful at reception. Garden bar charming and views of the temples from the room inspiring. Dinner however not inspiring and breakfasts actually quite poor.

6.4

It's good hotel in Rome because the hotelman is nice guys and so friendly for us. Thank you a lot.

10

What a beautiful hotel. We loved this hotel and the grounds were just lovely. To sit in the garden with a glass of wine and look over the ancient ruins was quite an experience. Again, we would not hesitate one minute to return or recommend this hotel to friends.

7.3

Used for a one night stay for a visit to the Valley of the Temples. Friendly and welcoming staff in a clean and secure environment. Rooms showing some signs of age and breakfast very limited in its offering. However, great gardens to wander around and for 1/2 nights an ideal location for this part of the island.

5.2

The Colleverde Park is one of the last modern buildings on the way out of Agrigento town before you hit the archaeological zone. It's therefore a fairly long walk either up into town or down to the zone - especially if it's hot but the local buses are good and stop outside the hotel. The hotel itself is very much a "business" type - a bit impersonal and bland - with the very nice gardens obviously set up for large scale weddings/corporate catering events. We paid for a deluxe room but rally the only thing deluxe about it was the view of the temples (which was worth paying for nevertheless). I would have been very disappointed with the hotel without the view. According to one of the main Italian restaurant guides the restaurant just across the road from the hotel is one of the best in the area - but unfortunatly it is closed on Fridays otherwise we would not have tried the restaurant at the hotel - it was awful. Lovely setting but the food was indescribably mediocre and expensive. Overall this is not the sort of place I would normally want to stay in on holiday but you do get three things - the view (if you pay for it), the equidistance to both the town and the zones and the good restaurant across the road (but not if you stay on a Friday!)

9.9

An excellent property - the best we stayed in throughout Italy. The breakfast staff was a bit loud and surly but everything else was top notch!

7.9

Very central hotel in exellent grounds.

6.8

We were broadly happy with the Colleverde Park Hotel. Our room was quite small (but large enough) and was properly maintained. The shower was rather unsatisfactory -- poor water flow and either too hot or too cold. The restaurant is in a stunning location and the food is fine but rather expensive by local standards. We found the staff friendly, courteous and helpful.

9.8

The hotel is very pleasant located near the archaeologic sites of Agrigento. The Hotel personnel is very friendly and helpful. The Hotel resaurant offers food of really good quality for an affordable price. Colleverde Park is a really recommendable place to stay in Agrigento.

9.0

A lovely hotel. Location is perfect for the historic sites...we took a public bus outside hotel to the sites. Breakfast was good and held in the restaurant overlooking the hotel's beautiful gardens. Only hitch was check-in. Rooms were not ready for new guests that day and some did not get the room they requested/reserved. The Colleverde did have a safe which is a nice convenience.

7.9

Rooms are small but ours had an excellent view of the temples (you must request a room with this view when you book). Restaurant is very good. The hotel is not within walking distance of the archeological park although it is described as such. Gardens of the hotel are quite nice. We dined one evening at Baglio della Luna and would have preferred to have stayed there.

7.5

A hotel was excellent, but the staff at reception desk could not take 500 EUR from me, and the reason was, that the whole hotel does not have enaugh mony to give me back the change. After a half an hour of arguing one of the staff went to bank (the price for the room was 170 EUR)

9.9

We stayed in three four star hotels during our vacation in Sicily. Colleverde Park Hotel was in a class of its own. The setting and gardens were out of this world and we are determined to return. The restaurant might be a little more adventurous, but the breakfast was more than adequate. The images on the website don't correspond in colour to the real thing and perhaps don't quite live up to the splendour of the actual hotel.

6.7

We did spend 3 nights at this hotel. The big advantage is the excellent view on the valley of the temples and its good location (museum and temples are in walking distance). Negative was the breakfast and the bathroom that needs urgently a renovation. The hotel has no personality and is like one of the chain hotels.

9.8

The hotel was somewhat difficult for us to find, for seems to have two different street addresses and the signs to it are not particularly helpful. Once we found our way there, however, we had an excellent time. The staff was courteous and friendly. One of the gentlemen at the front desk directed us to Kokolos, a splendid restaurant at the edge of town. Our room was pleasant and brightly lit (though we always seem to need more light for reading). I would definately recommend the hotel to friends and happily return there.

9.9

An excellent hotel to stay during a visit to Agrighento. Facility was much better than what the pictures at the web showed. Highly recomeneded hotel! The view from the room was beautiful.

9.7

Beautiful garden setting with great views of the valley of the temples. Excellent breakfast.

8.5

Very nice hotel, with helpful,cheery employees. The only negative was the breakfast ...just skip it. Otherwise, it was a teriffic experience.

3.9

This was the worst hotel of my 17 day trip to Italy and ironically, the only 4 star (the rest were 3). The hotel decor, especially in the rooms, was awful, the fan in the windowless bathroom was broken, and we had to call the desk for toilet paper each day. Dogs barked each night. Fortunately, we didn't eat at the restaurant - others who ate there told me that it was even worse than the rooms. I hated this place.

9.9

we were treated wonderfully even though there was a duplicated reservation--one for 2 nights and another for one night.We had opted for the single night as our confirmation indicated and there was no trouble.Nice room,good view.

6.8

Nice hotel. After staying in B&B's in Taormina and Siracusa which were excellent, expected a little more from a 4* like Colleverde.

3.9

High prices, very low service, poor brekfast (was better in a 2 stars hotel!), very unwelcoming employees

3.7

It was the worst stay we had in Sicily out of a total of 6 locations and it was the most expensive. The food was very poor, and repetitive. Some of the staff were helpful, however some were positively rude. We felt it was very bad value.

6.4

Hotel is not so well managed; nice park, but no services like bar. Could be used much better; e.g., dining and breakfast in the park.

9.6

wonderful view from room with spacious grounds near the valley but not as close as it seemed from the descriptions: dinner was a disapointment but overall would definitely stay there again

6.2

Room seemed available on web site, but first reservation was refused because selected room type was not available. I was offered a Deluxe room for additional price and accepted. Room had a very nice view on the Temples and was OK, but besides the view I would not rate it deluxe. Breakfast was also sufficient, but nothing special, same as restaurant that offered a dinner for 25 euro. Overall I was satisfied and had no problems, but I think price/performance was OK for Sicily, but not so good compared to other countries.

10

A lovely hotel, with superb views of the Valley of Temples. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the gardens (which overlok the Temples too) are gorgeous - the perfect place to relax after a day's sightseeing. Worth it for the stunning view alone. Outside the old town, Agrigento is a bit of an ugly sprawl, so we felt it was well worthwhile spending a bit extra for this little oasis.

9.5

The Hotel is better than the photographs The breakfast is very poor for a 4 stars hotel. The front desk is excellent

5.6

The room request was for an air conditioned room. When we arrived I called down to the front desk and asked for the ac to be turned on. I was told that they were working on it and it would be fixed by 8pm. The air never did work. Had to sleep with the window open and had to listen to noise from the road all night. Told front desk about the problen the next morning and was told "what do you want us to do? The air does not work." Would think twice before I book with your service again. Paid for a room with a/c and got a room without a/c. The man at the fornt desk could not have cared less about it. Regards, Billy Chambers
