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.

Everything, Maria was super helpful! She is so nice and sweet! We will be back for sure !
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
Very nice accomodation with pretty garden and pool, everything is curated in the details and you feel the owners care about the place and the guests.
Private parking always available.
Rooms are good size and clean.
Francesca and Aldo are both extremely nice and helpful, also the rest of the staff is nice!
Breakfast is very good, with selection of fresh pastries and savory options available.
We changed 5 accomodations in Sicily and this was the best..
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.
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 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.
Breakfast buffet was beautifully presented and delicious. We enjoyed the gourmet dinner at the inn both nights of our stay, some of the best food we tasted in Sicily. Relaxed at the pool after a day touring the ancient historical sites at Agrigento. Highly recommend this inn for a quiet interlude while touring Sicily.
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 place where you stay happily for more than a weekend. The sea is across the street and the beach is perfect for parents and children, with shallow water. The apartment is spacious and well equipped, we soon felt at home. All the beauties of southern Sicily can be visited starting from here. Enjoy!
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.
Very clean upper apartment, big enough for a family of 4. Location was nice to visit the sights in the south of sicily. Nice hostess, but unfortunately could not speak English, but we managed ourselves with google translate.
Incredible stay - the hotel was absolutely beautiful and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the hotel on 2 nights and the food was divine. Would 100% recommend staying here.
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.
Beatiful modern house. Big room and bathroom with terrace. Fantastic breakfast, best we had on our Sicily trip!
Private parking at 5euro. Very friendly host.
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.
