Pictures Of The Pool At Hotel della Valle In Agrigento Sicily

Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

When we were on a tour of Italy and Sicily in June of 2007 one of the hotels we stayed in was the Hotel della Valle in Agrigento. While everyone one else went on the tour of some Greek Temples I decided to stay at the hotel and swim in this pool. It was a smart decision. I have seen enough Greek temples. But not enough swimming pools. And I had the pool all to myself. I swam undisturbed for 2 or 3 hours. Finally a couple came out and sar in the chairs. But they were quiet.
I remember how pleasant this place was surrounded by greenery.
A nice and quiet respite. My idea of heaven on earth is a nice swimming pool like this one with no one else around.

Joe B. and Rachel with Mount Etna in the background. Sicily. I dont remember who took this one.




I remember she took this picture on the balcony of the hotel where were staying in Assisi. Italy.




On the very top of Castel Sant Angelo in Rome Italy. I had first visited this place in the summer of 1964 and was lucky to go back again in 2007.
Our room in Florence Italy. Lorenzo The Magnificent is the name of the hotel. This room is at the very top reached by elevator with a special key. Others were jealous of our good luck.
 
 

Rachel took this from the window of our hotel room in Palermo Sicily.
How about that view?
