Agrigento / Templi
A house that made me think warmly of my cousins’ country house in the Marche. Spacious with lovely terrazzo right out front door and large property. Ten easy minutes to the Valley or San Leone for a seaside walk and dinner. Pina and Angelo are great hosts and lovely people.

The owners were super helpful and extremely nice and made us feel at home. The property is molto bello. The only complaint the heat was on for only 1 hour twice a day. The heat could have been on a little bit longer, otherwise the stay was great

Fabulous!
What a lovely introduction to Sicily! The property was beautiful and the hosts were so gracious. Agrippina greeted us with pastries and left plenty of refreshments for us during our short stay. The property sits high allowing a panoramic view of the area as well as the Mediterrean Sea! The sunsets were breathtaking! The kitchen is fully equipped and most inviting should you feel inspired to enjoy cooking what is grown locally. The house is centrally located making it a short drive to Valley of the Temples, Agrigento and thereis shoppingand a vegetable and fruit stand as well as a long sandy beach close by. Our only regret we had was that were not there longer!

Very hospitable
The house is very well situated for visiting the Valley of the Temples. It was very nicely presented inside and out and was equipped with everything that you could think of -plus some!! There are two proper bedrooms - the third single ‘room’ is in a lobby that is off one of the bedrooms and bathroom. This may suit a child but maybe not an adult expecting privacy. The garden is beautiful. Agrippina and her husband were delightful hosts and brought us gifts of local delicacies. They don’t speak English but my bad Italian plus Google translate worked wonders. We had a lovely time.

Stella sul Mare is the definition of "a home away from home." The house is beautiful, spacious, and filled with everything needed for a long or short stay. The surrounding gardens, with olive, almond, and lemon trees is tranquil and beautiful to look at. It is a few minutes walk to a perfect, protected beach, six minutes to the Valley of the Temples, and ten minutes to the restaurants of old town Agrigento. Overall, this is an amazing place to stay!

Wonderful stay
We are the family of 4, stayed 2 nights at the end of October. There are 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, very clean. Big living room, fully equipped kitchen. The hosts welcomed us with the plate of Sicilian sweets - very nice of them and so delicious! There was oil, salt, sugar, juice, espresso, tea and beer, and all utensils in the kitchen. Herbs in the garden and lemon from the tree. The terrace is big, the garden around the house is big, flowers around. We enjoyed breakfast on the sunny terrace in the morning! The hosts are very nice and friendly people, it was pleasure to meet them. The house is close to Valle dei Templi, Agrigento, few minutes from the sea by car. Many books about Sicily and surroundings. Dishwasher and washing machine available. We had a very good and comfortable stay. Grazie for Agripina and Angelo!

Lovely Stella on the sea.
Our hosts were really very lovely people who never let language difficulties get in the way of a good conversation. The house is very handy for a beach, close enough for a stroll to at any time of day, and the valley of temples, which was the focus of our trip. The weather was amazing and we sat out in the garden most of the time, which was also a delight, filled, as it was, with exotic plant species, the air filled with bird song. All in all, a very successful trip. Many, many thanks to our hosts.

Ski trip to Sicily
Very clean, older home filled with interesting antiques. Ideal location for Greek ruins, Stairs of the Turks, and the beach. Charming couple live on second floor and they have the view of the Mediterranean shown in the description. Septic system will not accept paper products. You will need a car as there are no services in immediate vicinity

Lovely hosts, convenient location
We were greeted by our hosts With pastries and a bottle of sparkling wine. Lovely people who were surprisingly easy to communicate with despite not speaking each others language. The grounds are lovely and we spent a great deal of time outdoors. You do need a car because they are outside the city but with a car everything is conveniently close. It is a gated property, so very secure. Extremely firm mattresses on the beds.

It felt like home
Agrippina and Angelo greeted us with fresh pastries, a cup of espresso and let us pick from the orange and lemon trees. This gated home had all the amenities and more. A perfect place for a family with children. A safe area for them to play while sitting right on the porch overlooking the yard. This is perfect for couples since the two bedrooms we used had its own bathroom. It is in a great location. Close to the Valley of the Temples; about 15 minutes from town. One restaurant within walking distance. We would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful Stella by the Sea
Stella by the Sea is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Agrigento. The house is very comfortable and is well equipped. Agrippina and Angelo are very caring hosts who offered us information about the area and also stocked the kitchen with juice, soft drinks, wine, olive oil, pastries and homemade lemoncello!

A Beautiful Retreat
Our accommodation was a beautiful home with extravagant grounds - including many coloured hibiscus plants, olive trees, palms, Prickly Pear cactus with delicious fruit, and more. The home was well equipped and comfortable. The veranda was absolutely gorgeous providing us with hours of outdoor relaxation in the warm Sicilian climate. Our hosts are very, very warm and welcoming people. We felt very happy there. Plus, this location is a great place to plan day-tips to swim and to enjoy other Sicilian locations.

We loved every moment of our time at Stella the Sea. Angelo and Agrippina are lovely hosts, and the property is clean, centrally located and comfortable. The garden and sea views are breathtaking! We count our time in Agrigento as some of our best moments in Sicilia; Angelo and Agrippina are the epitomai of fantastic Italian hosts. Siamo stati benissimo alla stella al mare!

The best of hosts, fascinating house and great location for the Valley of the Temples.
Agrippina and Angelo couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciated their attention to detail. They're life long experience of the area provided valuable insights. The property and garden were a real Sicilian experience, really well equipped whilst being traditionally presented. It's early in the season but I can imagine how lush the plot with look in the near future. We certainly enjoyed the lemons. It helps to have someone in the group who speaks a bit of Italian but we left some notes in English which hopefully will help those who can't get the most out of Agrippina and Angelo's extensive local knowledge.

Impressive home, awesome and caring owners
Agrippina and Angelo have a lovely, comfy and cosy vacancy home, fully furnished and full of details which have made our stay just perfect. It's situated at an ideal spot with views to the sea and next to the Valley of Temples, one and two hours drive from most relevant places.. They are a lovely , wellcoming and caring couple who made our stay unforgettable. It more than lived up to our expectations. We had an incredible time there. Even on easter friday , Agrippina cooked us an special sicilian dish, just luscious. Thank you so much Agrippina and Angelo. Our hearts are full of love with Sicily, its land, its monuments, its history, its meals and its people thanks to you.
