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.

It is a good spot for Business travellers.
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...

Very modern newly furnished room, almost very good hotel standard. Nice size room with private balcony but there is another balcony that all guests can use, the view was better so we used this balcony. Communal kitchen and breakfast room with good facilities and excellent coffee machine. All the area's within the block were spotless clean.
We stayed to visit Turkish Steps beach, 2mins drive or very nice 20mins walk with some nice beach bars on the route.
Owner was as super friendly, funny, and could not do enough to help. Would stay again.
Breakfast was good , nothing spectacular.they have no beach club being across the street from beach .pool is good ,no heating so a bit cold when you get in . Parking is included and you need a good goa to get to the back of hotel . Had a great dinner meal just 100 m from the hotel to your left .best meal mussels, calamari, pasta seafood bowl. Was a very good meal . Valley of the temples was a 10 min drive and 3 min drive to Scala turci. Had Oceanview room with big balcony .this was a great place to unwind.
In the middle of lively beachside town, next to town square. Very large and clean.We booked at 7pm because when we got to Agrigento we didn’t like it. Port Empedocle, a few k’s away on beach is much
Better place to stay. Host Livio waited for our late 9pm check-in ....even bought me a beer at the next door bar!
If planning to visit Agrigento, skip it and stay at Porto Empedocle, and if possible at Livio’s La Rosa
This sounds like a paid endorsement...believe me it’s not. We just had a bloody good time
We very much enjoyed our one night stay.
Conveniently located close to Porto Empedocle and Stair of the Turks by walking.
The host was very friendly, spoke English (thank you) and greeted us promptly and warmly.
Our room was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Everything looks new!
Breathtaking views of the sea from the common area patio.
Continental breakfast included was very good! A fresh cake baked every morning. So good!
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.
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.
staying in a pink historical building with inspector montalbano statue in front of the gate is something. location was great, in the middle of the corso of small porto empedocle, close to the bus, steps down to the restaurant and cafe, walking distance to the beach. AC was great, beds comfortable, terrace large, contact people nice and helpful.
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!
The hosts offered to transport us for the closest nearby city (Agrigento) to the village for a small collaboration of 10 Euros (Porto Empedocle) Also they were communicative and friendly. - They provided us with the bus times, which was good to be able to move around!
Gerlando was very hospitable and gave us very valuable information to visit the surrounding area and the landmarks such as "La valle degli templi" and "Scala dei turchi".We also appreciated the happy holiday text after we left the hotel.
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.
Location! On the main street with no cars and cheapest and best restaurants we came across in whole Sicily! Also, the apartment was very big and comfortable for the price
The hotel is s bit remote with not the best roads for the last 3km but it is well worth it. The hotel staff, food and design is just perfect. We enjoyed it so very much.
I’m always going to rate a hotel on how good the pool is and this pool was exquisite. The rooms large enough and breakfast a good feed . Worth it just for the pool lol
