The kitchen. The breakfast and food was fantastic, in a great ambiance, salon with lots of classic decoration, iridescent small mosaic on all columns of the salon, a break from city life. Luxurious set up of buffet with fresh cooked tarts, fresh brioche and cakes to eggs and bacon, variety of coffees and teas, all in beautiful classical silver settings. Breakfast creation and management and staff were fantastic to bring you anything you need. Great lunch and dinner menus...Clean large round tables, everything in white linen. Gorgeous!

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...

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 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.
Antonino is an amazing host - super communicative and friendly. The flat is big, spotless clean and fully equipped - with extra details such as milk, water and breakfast stuff. We had a rental car and found the location in Porto Empedocle so convenienti to visit the Valley of the Temples, Scala del Turki and Agrigento... we always found free parking in the backstreet behind the flat. I really recommend this place!
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 is hands down the greatest family owned bnb. It was gorgeously renovated and no detail was missed in the decor. The remote location was so relaxing. And you MUST stay for dinner. It was the best meal we had in Sicily and the chef comes out and greets the guests. It’s close to the Scala dei Turchi and temples if you are looking to sight see. You must stay here if you are visiting the area!!!
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!
Although Porto Empedocle is not a very attractive town, it is near the Greek temples in Agrigento and it is located on the beach itself, a 30 minute walk from the famous Scalia dei Turchi geological formations. It also has a nice beachfront pool. The included breakfast in good and abundant.
We loved Borgo delle Pietre- it felt like home! The hotel is owned by a couple - both very nice and helpful we anything we needed. The hotel is very charming, tasteful, has great food (dinner is a fixed menu but with great options) and stunning view. It was a fabulous stay!!
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.
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.
Nice and clean room in a small but lovely town. 5 minutes to white cliffs, 5 minutes to the Valley of Temples (by car). You can taste the real Sicily here - very good restaurants with reasonable prices.
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.
Very nice and helpful contacts.
Apartment is located right in the center of Porto Empedocle, so bars (caffe), restaurants, supermarket and the beach all very close by.
