Hotel Costazzurra - San Leone Agrigento

8.3

Very friendly staff, possibility to use free bike and welcome drink and beautiful location very near to the see and to the archeological area. Many thank for the good Hospitality!!!

8.3

Very good service but too "present", especially at the restaurant.

9.7

This has to be one of the easiest hotels to find in Sicily! I can not say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff was, it is family run with great pride! Very close to the beach and many excellent restaurants but also has a good restaurant in the hotel. We would definately stay here if we are in San Leone area in the future.

3.5

El hotel no es acorde con 3 estrellas.

9.1

Staff here were very helpful, spoke English well. Comfortable family-size room; convenient parking and location near the beach. Minor complaints: food was so-so; towels were scratchy; spa unheated; and the "laundry service" is only a very expensive wash/press service that charged by the piece. We were told there were no self-servie laundromats, but there are some in town. Also you do have to haul your baggage up a few steps before you reach the lift. Check out Agora bakery in nearby village.

7.9

Muy amables en general todo el personal y los dueños

9.6

The hotel gave us maps and indications of all sorrounds. Very kind

6.6

Hotel Costazzurra was nice and pleasant; the staff, consisting of father and son, were very friendly. Two things were unexpected to us: what sold us was their webpage which shows the beach, the ocean, and of course, the Valley of Temples which was the reason for us to visit Agrigento. The hotel was no where near the water, and quite far from the Valley of Temples. In addition, if you wanted to try a restaurant, there were no restaurants nearby, you had to eat at the hotel. Almost all guests tried to go to a restaurant and ended up returning to the hotel for dinner. Food was not the greatest, my italian sausage and chicken were undercooked inside. We were only staying there 2 nights so we stuck it out. The owners were very nice and friendly, they gave us a bottle of wine upon our departure--nice gesture. We should have stayed closer to the Valley of Temples. The hotel's webpage is well presented and gives you the impression that you'll be by the ocean but you are not. The beach houses which you could reserve must be located away from this property because there is no ocean nearby.

8.9

grosso albergo in una frazione di Agrigento, vicino al mare.Buona l'accoglienza da parte del personale, che si prodiga per accogliere tutte le richieste. Positiva la presenza di un internet point a disposizione dei clienti. Intorno, palazzoni, costruiti o in costruzione, non permettono alcuna "vista". Non posso giudicare il servizio "Ristorante" perchè non ho mai pranzato lì. Colazione variata ed abbondante

8.9

Stayed one night. Went to sea-front for fine dinner. Walked some of the beach area. Valley of the Temples is close. Secure parking. Very attentive sons and father...excellent quality of service.

9.2

Excellent hotel, personnels particulièrement sympathiques et attentifs, très bien placé à 5 minutes de la vallée des temples, en voiture, dans tous les cas et à 1 minutes de la plage, à pied. Le repas du soir à 16€ est vraiment exceptionnel, si on ajoute un cadeau au départ ( 1 bouteille de vin) que dire de plus?

9.5

Although located in San Leone, this hotel is extremely well located for visiting the Agrigento Valley of the Temples (distance about 2 km). There is a bus service that stops outside the hotel. Plenty of safe parking space available. On arrival an explanation of the area is given and a free drink provided. Restaurant good although only one fish dish provided and lacking in a variety of vegetables.

8.1

Hotel is absolutly ok. The staff is very very nice and friendly. Free use of internet! I would come again!

10

This is a family run facility which provides wonderful personal service.

7.9

Les fils sont très gentils. Le père pas sympa du tout ! !

10

Very gracious staff--warm welcome with a video intro to highlights of area.

8.8

The staff was very competent and obliging. This family run business is a credit to them. The restaurant offering was very good value for money and the food was fantastic. The overall offering including free use of bycicles and internet was great. Whist the property was a little way from Agrigento it is very reacheable by public transport.

5.2

Food was very poor. (Our worst dinner in three weeks in Italy.) Wait staff incompetent. Location 3 or 4 blocks from beach, but a ten minute drive to Valley of Temples. Access to hotel required walking down a narrow steep ramp that hotel employees drove at reckless speed.

9.7

Dot and I spent 6 days in Sicily but only one night at Agrigento. The Valley of the Temples and its museums are an absolute treasure. We were warmly welcomed to the Costazzura which is a family business managed by two brothers. The welcome included a very good DVD highlighting the Valley of the Temples and other Agrigento sights. Whilst we were there nothing was too much trouble, and we were able to get all the information we needed about travel options, plus a recommendation to a nearby gelati cafe (unfortunately our travel arrangements meant the only chance we had to get there was when we passed during 'La Pausa'. The meals provided a good range of Italian / Sicilian options that were good value for money. I couldn't recommend this hotel more highly - we're not after the broad range of services available through 4 or 5 star places, and Costzzurra delivers exactly what we wanted at a good price. Other hotels could learn a lot from the way our hosts looked after us.

7.3

I expected a little bit more as regrads standard ... and as regards breakfast i expected a little bit more too

8.6

Nice familial hotel just off the sea, not far away from Agrigento (20 min with local bus - one every 30 mins) Extremely friendly staff. Single rooms are spacious but the single bed is quite tiny ...

9.5

The staff were very friendly, and as some of the reviewers commented, we were welcomed by a drink, and a video of the sights of the surrounding area. The dinner they served at the restaurant of the hotel was also excellent.

8.6

Un accueil chaleureux. Restaurant: cuisine familiale de qualité avec un bon rapport qualité prix

10

The staff were particularly welcoming and even offered us a bottle of wine when we checked out.

10

very nice hotel and friedly staff. location was excellant as it was located close to the sea. Meals were well prepared and of good value.

9.6

We only stayed one night at the Costazzurra but found the experience very pleasurable. The welcome by the son of the family owns was warm and helpfull,the room large and clean and the whole hotel looked well looked after.The free secure parking was a big plus. The hotel is a short car ride away from the Valley of the temple, and not to far from the very nice local beach(although it would be a long walk). I would highly recommend this hotel.

6.4

El hotel está bien ubicado para conocer el Valle de los Templos(ruinas griegas) y para la época de playas (verano). algo incómodo para acceder a Agrigento. Recomendable

8.0

In spite of earlier comments about the owner, we had a very nice welcome. The son (probably the owner now) welcomed us with a nice glass of wine and showed us a video of Agrigento. We received an entrance card to the parkinglot where the car was very safe. The hotel is not far from the temples. When we left after only 2 nights we got a bottle of wine as a gift.

7.6

Very warm, welcoming and mostly English-fluent staff. Clean but uninviting dining room. Spacious if spartan room. Further from Agrigento centro than I had anticipated.

9.6

The staff we encountered here are the best we have seen in Italy. We were welcomed with a glass of wine and a video on local sites. Staff spoke very good English (mostly) and were very helpful. The rooms were clean and functional, but not inspiring. The restaurant is very good. We loved our stay and would come again.

9.6

It was very close to the ruins at Agrigento and close to the ocean. The food was excellent, they made us feel very welcome. Our stay was short, but we would return.

8.0

The only disadvantage with this hotel is: The BIG BOSS, the father of the family, is always observing and stands directly besdies you. Probably he counts the number of rolls or marmelade, you take for breakfast. The rest of the hotel is outstanding friendly. We even got a bottle of wine for the further travel.

9.7

The Costazzurra brothers are well educated in the Hotel Business. They are up and coming entrepreneurs, we wish them well. It was somewhat of a relief to be able to communicate in English to the brothers, who made every effort to answer all our questions about our surroundings. I found the Senior Costazzurra very endearing. All the areas of the hotel and it's rooms were spotless. The internet access was a plus.

10

it's a familiary hotel and they have welcome us with a drink and some tipps about the region. The inhouse-restaurant offers sicilian-food for a real price. It was February, and we had 1 night on an island-trip, but we think it is a good destination in summer. In this case, 10 minutes by foot to the beach.

8.4

absolutely the most pleasant, well informed and helpful hosts one would wish to encounter... the hotel itself is immaculate with very nicely sized rooms. the free internet in the lobby is a real plus (or you can pay for wifi)... i was not as thrilled as some with the 16E supper but that's an option. the breakfast buffet (included) was more than adequate... from a standpoint of service and overall accomodation, i would recommend this hotel highly...

8.6

The location of the hotel is excellent if you are going to the temples, 10 minute drive. The area around the hotel, towards the beach was very nice for walking. We had some difficulty finding the hotel at night, but a kind man led us there with his truck. The family that owns this hotel was very nice.

9.9

The staff at Hotel Costazurra were extremely welcoming and helpful. The hotle has a restaurant which served very authentic sicilian food and good wine list. This family run business offered us a very pleasant stay and we would go back there again. A short walk to the beach was great and free parking and internet facilites.

8.4

Agradecer al Director del Hotel, Sr. Salvatore el afectuoso recibimiento así como el agradecimiento del personal en nuestra marcha. Gracias.

7.6

Best experience out of 4-hotels during our trip. Family run hotel with attention to detail given by two charming sons of old man who a bit grumpy. Given an upgraded rooom on arrival and a bottle of red wine on leaving. Surrounding poor because of abandoned partly built high rise on same grounds. Room view onto this building. Food excellent with good service. Highly recommended.

8.5

The staff was very warm and welcoming and the food at the restaurant quite acceptable.

7.1

Basic hotel but staff could do with some 'smile' training

8.8

Nous avons été enchantés de ce choix. L'accueil y est très sympathique et l'ambiance familiale et sans prétention. La chambre était tout à fait correcte et la salle de bains impeccable. Le dîner était très agréable et à prix raisonnable. Le petit déjeûner était classique et le café excellent. L'environnement de l'hôtel est assez tristounet et San Leone est sans intérêt mais à cinq minutes de la fabuleuse "Vallée des Temples". Malheureusement, l'insonorisation intérieure de l'hôtel n'est pas très bonne. Mais, quand on est fatigué par une longue journée de visite, on y dort quand même très bien. Grand parking fermé très sécurisant.

6.8

Hosts were gracious and very helpful upon arriving and leaving. Parking was a bit far.

8.0

A new hotel just a few kilometres from Agrigento. The room was clean, huge and quiet (perhaps those which give to the main road aren´t so quiet). The staff very helpfull and professional. A wonderfull stay.

9.2

El hotel es simple pero con habitaciones espaciosas y bien luminosas.Esta a cuatro cuadras de la playa ,que no vale la pena ir,queda cerca del valle de los templos.Hay una heladeria excelente cerca de alli,ja,ja.

9.7

Firstly I would like to commend the Costazzura Hotel for the excellect directions. We were driving from Trapani and from the time we left the motorway the hotel was signposted. We got an excellent welcome from the owner when we arrived. He supplied us with maps and advice on what to see in the area. We were given an upgraded room which was spotlessly clean and had a balcony. Unfortunately, the balcony overlooked a derelict building. The restaurant is very good value. Typical Sicilian food is served (sometimes a bit heavy handed with the sauces). After each meal we had there we were given either a complimentary liqeur or desert. When we left we were given a bottle of local wine.

9.9

This is fantastic hotel.The staff are very helpful, they 'go the extra mile!; the rooms are great and the food excellent. We stayed in 4 hotels in sicily on our stay and this was by far the best. It doent have sea views, but it is only a very short walk to the beach and the attractions are not far away by car or bus.The secure car park is a nice touch (remote controlled gates). Its a shame it doesnt have a pool, but the whirlpool they have is OK, and with the beach so close it doesnt really matter(small charge for private beach or free public beach). It was very hot weather when we were there and their airconditioning in the rooms worked well. But the best thing about this hotel which makes it so special is the people who run it (a family business), who know how to treat their guests. I would recommend it and would definately stay there again.

9.6

It is an excellent hotel in its category. The atention of employees was always very good, all of them try to solve any problem or question. Instalations very corrects. Excellent dinner, sicilianne cuisine.

8.9

A perfect place to stay whilst visiting Palermo, with the benefit of a peaceful environment to return to. Our room had an amaxing view over the valley towards Palermo and the sea, you can have breakfast on the terrace with the same view. Monreale itself is a great place to spend a day, the Cathedral is amazing and there are a number of good restaurants. The hotel was not at all busy, considering we stayed there at the end of July. I can't imagine why as I would strongly recommend it for the view alone.

7.4

This is a familiar hotel, very close to the beach,clean and simple, in which you will receive an excellent welcoming and better farewell (a little gift).

8.5

Most convenient stopover for visiting the ancient sites at Agrigento. Very helpful & friendly staff. An evening walk to the beach is interesting, but don't expect the refinement of a posh resort!

10

If you can, STAY HERE! The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the public beach and a 5 minute drive from the Valley of the Temples. It is family run and the service is excellent. We usually don't eat at the hotels we stay at but the family was so nice we decided to try it. Before dinner the son offered us a Sicilian appertiv wine to try. For 16 Euro each we got a 4 course, excellent, home cooked meal. The rooms are spacious, there is free internet in the lobby, and gated parking. When we checked out the family gave us a bottle of the wine we tried the night before as a present. I sincerely recommend this hotel if you plan on a visit to Valley of the Temples and Agrigento.

9.0

They had an amazing offer of a 4 course menu for two persons for 32 Euro!! The food was good. A very good secured private parking area. Excellent value for money. Very friendly people.

8.0

good price-value ratio

8.4

Courtesy and thoughtfullness of all staff much appreciated. Supplied us with maps and brochures that were really helpful. Free use of internet is a real bonus.

9.3

Good modern hotel in seaside resort of San Leone. You can get there from Agrigento railway station on bus number 2 which does a loop round San Leone and stops opposite the hotel on return journey. Same bus for temples area. Location OK - short walk to beach and restaurants.

8.7

Hotel had very secure parking, which is important. Staff was extremely gracious - family-run. The breakfast was not great, but the restaurant for dinner, after a long day of driving, was quite good. Not having to get into our car and drive to find a restaurant was a blessing.

8.1

if it were in a quiet area, i would rate this hotel much higher - double room was comfortable, single room was cell-like - very noisy at night - no view - traffic, barking dogs - breakfast unremarkable, but dinner marvelous - very friendly, extremely helpful family staff - salvatore & his family couldn't have been more helpful - relatively convenient location - plenty of secure parking - not far from beach & restaurants - beach not ready for tourists, yet - close to archaelogical area -

7.0

This hotel is in San Leone, a rather faded seaside town, not Agrigento. It is also located about 10 mins walk from the seafront and is surrounded by half constructed concrete shells. Having said that the hotel itself is comfortable with good sized rooms and some spacious balconies. Plentiful secured parking. Quiet location although limited soundproofing between rooms. Good value restaurant serves meat only menu, Le Caprice up the road offers more choice but at a significantly greater cost. Overall a reasonable base if you have a car.

9.2

You can like it or not, but in the morning there is a strong smell of brioche going into everywhere (which enters the bedrooms ...). I liked it, my husband did not ... . Anyway, a little bit noisy because there is not moquette or wood, but it is "only" a three star hotel and, therfore, excellent!

9.9

The hotel was very clean and quiet. The included breakfast was always delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is well situated for all the tourist attractions and restaurant is really something special.

4.1

hotel is located in a trendy suburb of Agrigento, called San Leone, on a very busy and extremely noisy street, during all night of our 4-day-stay, as a trendy, well know disco, the beach, a supermarket, are nor far away. Much noise during the night from cars, vespas and people. Air con system in the room works well, but very noisy, so ask to switch it off. If you open the door to your balcony, much traffic noise comes in. With 30 degress celsius during night in late june it gave us no rest at all. Breakfast is OK, but very simple. (but don't try the grapefruit juice ...) Positive remarks on the scured parking for the rental car. Good restaurant locations close to the harbour, with good seafood and excellent cost/performance. Nice are for trips to Temple Valley and some smaller towns in the neighborhood.

9.3

We found the staff friendly and helpful. Finding the hotel by car was easy and the secure car park was very handy. The immediate surroundings are not particulalarly attractive but access is easy (unlike some of the other hotels we stayed at) and it was handy for driving to the temples. We ended up eating at the hotel as we were tired and found the food excellent with generous portions. Would stay again if visiting Agrigento.

6.6

San Leone is the most trash covered town I have ever visited. Litter has apparently never been picked up anywhere. Town could be very nice with a little care but currently it is upsetting because of extreme litter. Hotel is fine, okay but not exciting and on the high end of price for what is there in May.

6.6

Parcheggio privato comodo e gratuito. Molto vicino alla Valle dei Templi.
