Fodor's Expert Review Doric Bed Boutique Hotel
San Biagio 20, Agrigento, Sicily, 92100, Italy
Ideal for sophisticated urbanites who want to combine a poolside holiday with sightseeing, this stylish contemporary hotel on a hilltop is an innovative addition to Agrigento’s lodging scene. It's the kind of place you can sit in your own hot tub or plunge pool in complete privacy, sipping a cocktail as the sun sets over the distant temple of Juno. Some rooms even have their own steam baths, with all water heated by solar power. The main pool has a bar incorporated within it with stools designed to keep guests up to their waists in the water. Rooms are white and feature metal four-poster beds and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The owner is committed to sustainable tourism: the hotel is self-sufficient in energy and has its own vegetable garden and almond and pistachio groves.

- some rooms have private plunge pools and hot tubs
- homegrown produce served in the restaurant
- shady pool perfect for relaxing in summer
CONS
- a bit far from Agrigento proper
