It provided a practical stop enroute during our road trip of Sicily. We received a great welcome, staff were very friendly and there was secure parking. Furnishings were basic but everything was there and there was a huge terrace. The location provided easy access to Agrigento and beaches, the town itself was somewhat underwhelming but had a selection of shops and restaurants.

Ideal location, with balcony onto pedestrianised historic main street, full of cafes and restaurants. Very clean. Big comfortable bed. Easy free on-street parking nearby. We could get in straightaway, despite arriving early. Good value for money.

Very friendly owner. The communication was excelent and without complications through the booking message.
Just in front there is a Pizzeria that is delicious.
It is a good spot for Business travellers. If you travel for lesure time there is Not really anything to Do there. I went to Agrigento there is a lot to See. If you just need a place to stay for the nicht it is perfect

Montalbano fans will like to visit Porto Empedocle as there is a mural of Andrea Camileri and a bronze statue of 'Montalbano sono' in front of the pizzeria on the Main Street.
When in Porto Empedocle, a visit to the nearby 'Scala dei Turchi' is a must.

Nice restaurants, good food, nice prices and nearby beach, I would avoid staying at the apartment we booked called Gocce Siciliane Apartments. Embellished photos, dirty balcony, no parking for the apartment and fridge slightly bigger than a matchbox. Glad to see, in their reply, they agree the price is ridiculous.

Its really nice and quiet while only a stone's throw away from the major attractions.
It has some very good places to eat out and it is very easy to get around by foot.
It does have rather un-reliable public transport connections though as well as having some areas with an aweful lot of garbage and untaken care of public areas. However this is a general problem in many parts of Sicily.

The old part of the town has the most character.
The old part of the town has the most character. Via Roma is possibly the nicest street but there is also a charming piazza just a few steps further towards the harbour. It’s easy to find the town as it is the starting point for ferries to the islands. Parking is easy in the winter but maybe not so easy during holidays. It’s very much a working town with lots of industries around as well as some really picturesque spots. There are lots of restaurants with sea food as their speciality but you can get a range of menus and at least one catering for gluten free. Porto Empedocles makes a good base for touring all the main sites on the south coast. You do need a car as the buses are infrequent and there is no longer a passenger train service. The streets are very narrow so a small car with good ground clearance is recommended as the roads in and around the town are not well maintained.

The location is very good, there was no problem entering the property, restaurants are enough in the neighbourhood. We liked KENYA very much - delicious food, friendly staff... It's a pity that the elevator didn't work in the house, as well as the drenage in the shower. The sofa in the living-room was kinda strange...

This is probably the best hotel by the beach we booked to relax. It exceeded expectations. The room was big and bright and clean so were the surroundings of the hotel. Seemed that they were freshly renovated. The breakfast was great with a variety of choices, freshly baked croissants and a great view. You could have breakfast and enjoy the sea.
The location is fantastic, by the beach.
Big private parking even though plenty of parking around.
This small port town has little to offer for sightseers, the local colour contrasts with the polished tourist spots that dot the island, and it has a gritty authentic vibe you might or might not like. I liked it a lot! B&B Sicily is a great option in this alternative scene, and we enjoyed a very warm and professional welcome. The service and facilities are very good, the location is great, and it is very clean and quiet.
Great place to stay right across from the beach. The bed is firm and the pillows are flat but that’s really everywhere in Sicily. The restaurant is fantastic though. We came in the low season when there’s not much going on and loved it. There’s walkable spots for breakfast/lunch. The beach is really nice and great for walking. The Turkish stairs are about a 25 minute walk by the beach, do this rather than driving.
I loved Porto Empedocle, which is the town where the Sicilian writer Andrea Camilleri was born... so it's filled with this atmosphere... real town and nice people, to me. Maria is a charming lady who lives in the building, and responds to questions and needs if possible. The bed was a little sofa/bed in the living-room, for one person. The apartment is centrally located and has an old school vibe.
This comfy hotel is 5km from the lovely Scala dei Turchi, nestled in a quiet place with a slight view of the ocean. The building is clean and the room smells nice, surrounded by a garden with fruit trees and flowers and a modest swimming pool. Parking space is within the property enclosure, access through the gate uses a device that comes with the room key. Breakfasts are a delight 😊
This place is spotless. It was so clean I even was sorry to take a shower!
You can tell that the owner really cares about the quality of her offer. She is super nice, knows a lot about her land, she is great at giving advice!
The breakfast was spectacular, with beautiful plates and great offer.
Perfect location to visit scala dei turchi, valle dei templi & porto Empedocle.
Grazie!
The appartment was very comfortable and has a very good position for discovering the beauties of Sicily around! We enjoyed evening on the beach that is just across the street. The beach offers few bars and view on the sunset. The biggest suprise was a breakfast that we got from the owner (the best croissants we have ever eaten!) Thank you very much for such a pleasant stay!
Salvina was a wonderful host. She greeted us with an aperitivo. She gave a booklet with recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and sights to see. The hotel was located just a few minutes drive to the Scala dei Turchi and about a 25 minute drive to the Valley of the Temples. The rooms are modern and very clean, and the shared terrace has a beautiful view of the sea.
Pleasant and comfortable accommodation near attractive places. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking including spices, oil and such. Excellent pastries for breakfast. Maria and Valeria were very nice, helpful and helped us with everything we asked for. One of the few accommodations in Sicily where there was no problem with hot water.
Our experience at this hotel was exceptional. The staff are all so welcoming! The hotel is a luxury private retreat outside of the city and in close proximity to a variety of sites.
The dinner and breakfast was wonderful as well. We can’t say enough about this property.
Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience!
The accomodation is right across the beach. The access to the room is modern, with no key, but with a code.
The room was simple, with a fridge and a kitchen.
The air conditioning was great.
The surrounding area of Porto Empedocle is nice, you have Scala dei Turchi to the west and Valley of Temples (Valle dei Templi) to the east.
The hotel is PERFECT! it is very clean, better than the photos, great location, big rooms, great bed and very kind owner. Nino, the owner, was very friendly, helpful and kind. He is always smiling and very helpful. The location is perfect - across from the beautiful beach, and has reserved parking. It was a wonderful stay!
Nice B&B with a great sea view terrace. Friendly hosts. Breakfast was OK. Free parking close by. Great value for the money. The town of Porto Empedocle is an authentic Sicily. Very good place for eat and drink Cotti al Forno nearby.
Hotel is located by the beach and has pool and private beach area with sunbeds. Breakfast has good variety. Rooms are nice and comfy, we got a room with super large terrasse with sunbeds, which was very nice.
Nice homely kitchen, meals prepared by the family and a chef for the guests only. Very friendly people, accomodating and helpful. Small family hotel with great people running it.
In addition to being the best value in all of southeast Sicily (if not the entire island) with its spaciousness and comfort, the hosts are the kindest people in the world.
Great Location in Porto Empedocle and close drive to the Roman ruins and Turkish Steps. Hosts were outstanding and very helpful wonderful people. Apartment is beautiful.
Excellent location. The room and kitchen area are better than a 4Star hotel. Parking is right outside and the first class restaurant is 100 metres away.
