We really cannot think of anything!

La Pagliera is a beautiful property that has been lovingly and tastefully renovated. The rooms are large, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The property accommodates just two couples at any one time and although the roof terrace and sitting room / breakfast room are shared space, the house always feels spacious and private. Our hosts, Francesco and Susi were the best! Communication before our trip was great with lots of advice and information about the area. The welcome and the farewell were warm and genuine. In between times they were always available, but never intrusive. The ever-changing breakfast menu provided us with a gastronomic tour of Sicilian cuisine and daily ‘surprise treats’ prepared with obvious pride in the locally sourced ingredients were a delight. Amazing! La Pagliera is a great base -- with many interesting sites in the area. The ancient Greek ‘Valley of the Temples’ is a 5-minute drive away. The house has great views of the temples across the valley, particularly at night when the temples are illuminated. Visiting at dusk as the sun sets between the pillars is highly recommended. Other great places to visit are the Villa Romana del Casale and the towns of Siculiana and Sciacca. But nearby Agrigento is not to be missed. It has a beautiful cathedral, lovely winding streets, a vibrant evening atmosphere and fine dining. There are numerous sandy beaches locally, but our favourite was nearby Dune – which is only 10 minutes away.

This was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The service was way above anything we expected, and the owners were just amazing – they made us feel so welcome and cared for. The breakfast they prepared was incredible, everything tasted so fresh and delicious. We left feeling so happy and well taken care of. We would go back in a heartbeat!

An excellent base for exploring the Agrigento area. It was lovely to stay in an authentic Sicilian home and Francesco and Susie were fantastic hosts. They advised us on local restaurants, beaches and places to visit and the breakfasts each morning were exceptional - everything fresh and locally produced with hand prepared treats throughout the meal!

Ciccio and Susi were amazing hosts. The attention to detail was impeccable. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Breakfast was delicious and there were so many choices we could not finish, so they packed it up for us for lunch :) The room was comfortable, the decor was beautiful. Again the attention to detail was incredible; from the bedroom slippers to the almonds on our night stands to the fresh almond cookies waiting for us after our afternoon outside. A very special place, La Pagliera has our hearts <3

We stood 2 nights at La Pagliera and it was a wonderful experience. The owners Ciccio and Susi are wonderful hosts!!! They gave us a lot of recommendations, communication was so easy, we had great conversations during the delicious breakfast and the place is just beautifully done. So all together a great experience and we felt just like home. Grazie mille Ciccio and Susi

We came to Agrigento for a wedding and for sure the best time ever staying in La Pagliera. Francesco and his lovely wife Susie provided us a full personalised experience that we would never be able to get from a bigger hotel. Learn about the city from locals, what to do, where to eat and the most specific experiences that make everything even more special. Every morning, a different experience with hand picked suprises for breakfast, including the amazing food from Francesco’s mom. The only sad thing was the time we had to leave!

La Pagliera was an incredible surprise. The house is beautifully renovated, yet it has preserved its authentic Sicilian charm. It's spacious, tastefully decorated, and extremely comfortable. Breakfast deserves special mention. Francesco and his family go above and beyond to create a truly unforgettable experience every morning — it feels more like a warm family gathering than a typical meal. Staying at La Pagliera was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had Thank you so much, Francesco and family, for your kindness and hospitality. I hope to return one day!

This isn't just any bed and breakfast. You're part of the family! Ciccio and Susi welcome you into their home like long lost family members. The owners, location, property and views are 10+/10. The fresh breakfast each day is delivered with the secret ingredient - love of everything Sicilian. We loved having the private kitchen and balcony for morning coffee and the sunset views. Thanks so much for an amazing experience !

It rained, so we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful beaches. Next time we would stay longer!

The authentic Sicilian breakfast was phenomenal! The thought and attention to detail did not go unnoticed! If going to Agrigento, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Nothing!

Francesco and Susi were incredible when we had dinner that they cooked themselves and very attentive to out needs and to explain Sicilian culture and the place’s history. Super comfy bed as well! Decoration was very tasteful and a great view of the valley as well. Worth every euro!

Everything. Ciccio and Susi are so welcoming and loving. We loved being part of their lives for 2 days. The house is beautiful and decorated with a lot of taste. Every detail has been thought through. The breakfast is amazing and full of Sicilian surprises. Thank you again for an amazing stay. Eleonor & Laurent

What can be said about this little slice of paradise with pristine views of Agrigento's iconic Valle dei Templi from? Ciccio and Susi have created a home that should be in the pages of Architectural Digest. Their attention to detail and exceptional taste level have elevated this property above all we saw online in the area. From the loving restoration of the farmhouse to the little luxuries provided, they offer a world class experience on top of being warm, welcoming and home-like. And can we talk about the breakfast?! It is an embarrassment of riches, prepared in the most spectacular kitchen, all served at an antique farm table that overlooks a fairy tale like meadow with chicks and butterflies. We left every morning stuffed with authentic, delicious, home-cooked Sicilian specialties (and fresh squeezed orange juice, too!). Truly, it was a magical stay.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Lovely owner. Quiet spot so very peaceful. Beautiful view cross the valley of the temples. The food at breakfast was the best food I had eaten across 3 towns in Sicily, exceptional food. Overall a fabulous stay, recommended to anyone. Also has good kitchen facilities with a lovely patio if you want to have an evening in and have something to eat on the patio. We did and it was fabulous.

That I had to leave.

La pagliera offers an absolutely perfect experience, Sicilian generosity and hospitality. We were made to feel like special guests, welcomed with warmth and care. The accommodation is stunning, our room had a magnificent view over the Valley of the Temples, (even from the shower!) Beautiful roof terrace to enjoy a drink or coffee, the most splendid breakfast you could imagine, great communication and advice from our hosts. This is a gem, best accommodation and genuine hospitality we have experienced.

Everything! The house is so charming and cosy. The breakfast was the best we had in Sicily. Francesco and Susi were wonderful hosts. So welcoming and thoughtful, leaving drinks in the fridge and welcome cookies. It’s just a few minutes from the Valley of the Temples so a perfect place to stay if you’re exploring the area.

We had the most wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel at home. The room and the house were beautifully decorated, impeccably clean. Every morning, we woke up to the most delicious homemade Italian breakfast—fresh, locally sourced, prepared with care by Francesco. Each meal felt like a special treat :) Grazie mille!!

We were made to feel very welcome and the surroundings were so special. The property has been refurbished with so much love and attention to detail. Leaving was difficult.

The breakfast was cooked by the host, while we enjoyed the amazing view. The food was fresh, delicious and very well portioned, and yet plentiful.
