Doric Eco Boutique Resort and Spa - Sicily *****

Location

Doric Eco Boutique Resort & Spa - Sicily is a "window" with a magnificent view over the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento, a UNESCO site, from which it is only 2 km away. 

The view from this hotel is a skyline of the temple of Juno, in the background the African sea and a beautiful valley that won the Italian Landscape Award in 2018.

About 8 minutes by car from the beach of San Leone, beautiful beach with soft golden sand for kilometers, bathed by a beautiful blue and clear sea scented with tropical algae.

1.5 km from the famous Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. A story of two thousand years and an area included in 1997 on the List of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. These incredibly well preserved temples are one of Italy’s most impressive archaeological sites. 

15 Km from the renowned Scala dei Turchi. An extraordinary white cliff made of marl (a mix of clay and limestone) wich slopes gradually towards the sea. It is the passing of time, the sea and the salty breeze that transformed this rocky outcrop into southern Italy’s most spectacular sight.

It is also located at 6 km from the FarmCultural Park in Favara (the largest and most important open-air contemporary art exhibition in Sicily), 15 km from the Arab-Baroque town of Naro and 30 km from the metaphysical theatre of Andromeda.

The nearest airport is Comiso at 118 Km. Catania airport is 162 km away, while Palermo airport 170 km and Trapani Birgi 179 km.
