Alba Palace Hotel

We had a fantastic stay at the Alba Palace hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were very nice, and we had a wonderful meal in the hotel restaurant. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in/near Favara.

The main picture used to advertise this hotel is a rooftop with hot tub. This is NOT accessible to guests. It is for the presidential suite only. There is no pool, spa or hot tub access. I wish we’d known this before booking as we chose this hotel because we wanted a day to chill and sunbathe, which we weren’t able to do. The spa is under development which is noted in fine print on the hotels website. Other than that, hotel is nice, modern, clean. Restaurant food is great. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Our two-night stay at Alba Palace in Favara fit nicely into our planned tours to Valley of the Temples and Agrigento. Our accommodation with large jacuzzi was very comfortable. Rossano sent detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel. It otherwise would have been very difficult and complicated to find. The breakfast was perfectly acceptable, except that one morning they ran out of some hot items and did not replace. Unfortunately, the one dinner experience in Ristorante Le Traveggole was not particularly impressive given our high expectations. Perhaps this was due to the fact that they were entering low season, and the hotel also seemed very quiet.

We stayed 1 night at the hotel to visit The Valley of the Temples. What we liked: - it was a very modern hotel, recently renovated, designed very tastefully and uniquely. - the service personnel was very attentive and friendly. We were offered an upgrade to a Junior Suite. - the hotel’s restaurant served us high-end food and beverages! - it has a cool wine cellar where you could do a wine tasting with previous reservation What you need to consider before booking a room here: - the hotel is located in a little town named Favara which has nothing really interesting to offer other apart from the hotel and it’s restaurant. The surroundings were full of waste and abandoned buildings. We did not feel really save nor comfortable walking around there. - except from the hotel’s restaurant, it lacks communal areas to relax. Regarding the poor surroundings, this would have been very appreciated. We thought that the jacuzzi and roof top shown in the fotos were communal but in principle they only are accessible for the Penthouse Apartment. However, since at our stay the penthouse was not booked we were offered to use the jacuzzi, which was very nice of the hotel team. - the breakfast was compared to the nice and sophisticated dining too simple. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to all who are planning to stop by Agrigento and visit the archeological park.

Best staff and amenities in my 50 plus year traveling life! Customer is #1. Restaurant is divine. Though difficult to find, once you are there, the staff goes out of their way to make this feel special. Food is great! Wine is great. Awesome!!!
