Best hotels in Valley of the Temples & the South Coast

Doric was born in one of the most iconic landscapes of the Mediterranean, facing the Valley of the Temples. Here, every element—architecture, light, materials, silence—is designed to connect with what has existed for thousands of years. It's not just hospitality. It's a different way to experience Sicily. Each room and suite is different, designed to offer privacy, light and harmony. Natural materials, handcrafted details, and a continuous connection with the outdoors create intimate and bright spaces. The outside evokes history and nature, while the inside, only silence, water and time for yourself.

At Doric Wellness & SPA, every detail is designed to offer a completely relaxing experience, where refined design, comfort, and landscape meet in a timeless atmosphere. The view of the Temple of Juno and the Valley of the Temples is a constant presence, becoming an integral part of the wellness journey.

The Relais Antica Badia, part of the Gruppo San Maurizio 1619, is located in the historic center of Ragusa , within a magnificent 18th-century residence. Situated opposite the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista , the city's patron saint, it offers a privileged vantage point to begin your experience: the rooms have been restored with full respect for the Baroque style, and gazing at the Cathedral through the windows will make you feel like you've traveled back in time.

Deep in the Sicilian countryside near Agrigento, this restored 19th-century mansion began life as a baron's gift to his son - a reluctant socialite who went on to become a much-loved bishop. Today it's a gentle eco-retreat wrapped around a sun-warmed courtyard, the pace slowed to match the fields around it. The old farmhouse kitchen is now the heart of the place: you can cook alongside the team using vegetables pulled from the garden that morning. Days drift between treatments in the converted stables, long Sicilian lunches and walks out to the bubbling mud volcanoes next door.

Created from the restoration of an ancient 13th-century building, renovated in the 16th century by Florentine architect Camillo Camilliani, the Hotel Foresteria Baglio della Luna features a central building with an adjoining medieval watchtower.

The interior spaces are furnished in a classic style, bringing a centuries-old tradition to life through refined period furniture, precious decorative objects, and paintings on the walls, contributing to an atmosphere of timeless charm.

Southwest Sicily doesn't feature in most first-time itineraries, but that's exactly what keeps it interesting. Wedged between the archaeological wonder of Agrigento and the port of Sciacca, this stretch of coast is quieter, more rugged and considerably less photographed than its more famous cousins. And so, amid 230 hectares of olive groves and citrus orchards, Rocco Forte dreamed up his only purpose-built resort: a collection of low-rise terracotta-and-ochre pavilions that look as though they've always been here. Days tend to revolve around the Irene Forte Spa, eight restaurants serving food largely grown on the estate, two championship golf courses and a two-kilometre stretch of private beach. Bliss.

A luxury hotel within the valley of the temples. Sicily, dating back millennia, is here. Villa Athena is the only 5-star hotel situated within the Archaeological Park of the Valley of the Temples, which UNESCO has declared a World Heritage Site, with an exclusive direct entrance.

The resort’s recent restoration has renovated every environment, including the rooms and the suites, which have a view of the temples and/or of the park of age-old olive trees.

It is a farm, first and foremost, run by a family who pledge themselves to an enduring care for the land, with a true passion for hospitality and the dream of a place to share with friends and travellers, with an authentic love and respect for the Sicilian countryside. Mandranova brings together agriculture, hospitality, catering, oleo tourism and culture to communicate and spread the deep-running values that they believe in.
