The bedsheets and towels were very white and oferred a luxury sensation. Also the bath gel and shampoo very nice. The location is close to Scala dei turchi, pleasant walk on the beach(1.2 km). The big parking lot near hotel. Good breakfast (the pie with pistachio was my favourite). The sand is very thin and the water of the sea is small near the beach, I suppose is a good beach for children.
Located in Porto Empedocle, 1.5 miles from Marinella Beach, Borgo delle Pietre has accommodations with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

This is an ancient inn in the country, lovingly restored by the owners. It is surrounded by fields and olive trees (and some solar panels) and cooled by the breeze off the ocean. The charming courtyard is the heart of the stone structure, a good place for breakfast, an aperitif and conversation and I imagine dinner, too, on warm nights. Kitties sleep in the sun and don't seem to bother the birds that fill the air with their song (and even keep a nest in the reception area). The indoor dining and living room is very attractive, modern yet cozy. Behind the hotel is the inviting swimming pool. Dinners were a highlight - we enjoyed two excellent meals served by the very friendly, helpful staff, Angelo and Marc. The owners are very generous with their time and are personally interested in your enjoying their hotel. The Borgo is close to the Valley of the Temples and a number of great beaches.
Offering an seasonal outdoor pool, Hotel Riviera Palace is set on the beachfront and is 1.9 mi from the center of Porto Empedocle. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

Great view and balcony. Average breakfast. Convenient and secure parking. Very friendly staff.
Set on the beach just outside Porto Empedocle, Case Vacanze Ancora offers a pool with sun loungers. Apartments are air conditioned and feature a balcony or terrace, some with sea views.

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.
Amurimè enjoys a location in Porto Empedocle, a 5-minute walk from Marinella Beach and 1.4 miles from Spiaggia del Caos. Featuring sea and city views, this guest house also includes free Wifi.
Located in Porto Empedocle, 3.1 mi from Agrigento and 1.9 mi from The Scala dei Turchi, Cavaliere Costa features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi throughout the property.
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...

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.
I spent two two nights with my partner at this fantastic bed and breakfast. The room was amazing: very spacious and comfortable, well furnished and very very clean. Also , the building is located in a very strategic position: close to Agrigento, Bovo marina beach, Scala dei turchi and other fabolous locations near Porto Empedocle. Furthermore, the owner , Calogero , was really helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this amazing 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.
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!
A comfortable apartment very close to the town with parking very close. Didn’t meet the hosts in person but communication was perfect. Really enjoyed our stay there and ideal for easy access to the temples at Agrigento. Porto Empedocle was great for eating out too.
Good location close to Porto Empedocle, Scala dei Turchi and Valle dei Templi. Hosts were extremely nice and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was amazing and brought to our door, true room service. Bakery on the ground floor was excellent.
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.
The hotel is 50 m away from bus external station, and very close to the beach and also to the pietonal area (Via Roma).
The room is big, clean and has a comfy bed.
The hotel staff are very nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The evening meals were incredible. We were initially worried it would not be easy to eat elsewhere. But needn't have been, some of the best food we had in Sicily.
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.
