Penthouse Apartment on the Valley of the Temples

This apartment is a fabulous place to stay overlooking the valley of the temples and the sea, close to restaurants/cafes and a short walk to the centre. The apartment is full of modern art that the owner has collected over the years.The host Gabrielle greeted us outside the building and showed us around the apartment then bringing us a nice cold welcoming drink. Gabrielle then helped me bring up our cases before leaving us to settle in, he then knocked on our door about an hour later with a plate of local delicacies for us. He texted us places to visit and places to eat and offered his services as a guide if we wanted, on the morning we were leaving he took us to a local cafe for coffee and local cake. This is a fabulous place to stay with a host who made the visit one of the most enjoyable of our visit to Sicily, we would not hesitate to stay here again, you arrive as a guest but leave as a member of the family.

Wow!! This place was a blast! The views are incredible! The artwork in the apartment is really cool and the apartment itself was accurately described in another review as something like“1960’s Mad Man Bachelor Pad”. Really fun. Now to the best part- our host Gabriele. He took us under his wing! He took us on a tour of the Turkish Steps and more and told great stories about his family. (I would only point out that the kitchen wouldn’t be great for making big meals. It’s fine but if you planned on making a big dinner for a group it would be difficult) I am so glad we chose this place and I recommend it to you!

Our host, Sergio, was the most friendly host that we ever had. His apartment was clean, well artistically decorated and offering a splendid view over the Valley of the Temples. Bed and shower were perfect. We spent a very pleasant stay and highly recommend Atticodarte

We have stayed in many VRBO rentals over the years, all good experiences. This one tops the list, and much of that is to do with the host, Gabriele.His place is beautiful, full of art, light, and comfort. The balcony--terrace--is spacious and has the best of views. There is the ocean in the distance, the green of farms and orchards, and then magnificent Valley of the Temples highlighting it all. It needs to be experienced.Gabriele goes above and beyond to make his guests comfortable. He is friendly and funny, and a lovely man. He made our experience truly the best we've had. We'd go back.

We found a really unique apartment with a lot of interesting pieces of art, wonderful view to the town, temples and sea. The position is so comfortable to reach both the town center and the archaelogical site. Gabriele was a perfect host, so kind and helpful. Highly recommended, can’t wait to go back!
