Hotel Villa Athena Resort in Agrigento

Villa Athena Resort: Where Past Meets Present

You ever been to a place where the past and present shake hands? That's Villa Athena Resort for ya. Nestled in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Italy, this spot is just a hop, skip, and a jump—well, 200 meters—from the Temple of Concordia. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, no less. The Villa, which is as old as your grandma's stories (18th-century, mind you), wraps you in the lap of contemporary comforts. Think wellness center, outdoor splash zone, free car resting spots, and Wi-Fi that probably works better than yours at home.

Step inside Villa Athena Resort, and you'll find rooms that make you feel like royalty. Air-conditioners that hum you to sleep, TVs that keep you company, and private marble bathrooms that are fancier than your last Instagram post. Some rooms peek at the temples, while others gaze into quiet gardens. Wake up to an American breakfast that promises to start your day with a delicious bang. Feast your eyes—and stomach—at Terrazza degli Dei, where the food is as memorable as the views. Whether you're clinking glasses with your sweetheart or flying solo, this place doesn't just score high with couples; it's a romantic getaway's best-kept secret, if we do say so ourselves.
