Nothing really

Excellent breakfast and comfy room

We loved the sea view from our terrace and the convenient location. The food was good and our bed nice and comfortable.

Wish had more time to stay here more days!

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!

Breakfast!

We were looking forward to staying at the Hotel Villa Romana, which is located near the famous Turkish Steps and the Valley of the Temples. The hotel is situated in some kind of copy of historic palace with a sea view. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The service was pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, the only drawback was the breakfast, which was very disappointing. The eggs were extremely overcooked to brown, the bread was not fresh, there was no vegetables and there was a low selection of cold cuts. Only one ham and one salami. The coffee was weak also. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at the Hotel Villa Romana, except for the breakfast. The hotel has a great location, a nice room and a friendly staff. The breakfast could be much better and more varied. I recommend this hotel to people who are looking for accommodation near Agrigento, but prefer to go for breakfast elsewhere.

I've travelled out of season and the weather was not that great, so the only thing I didn't like was the limit of temperature I could reach while heating the room.

The hotel is right on the beach, very pretty location. I have also enjoyed breakfast with decent amount of vegetarian options. The staff was friendly and polite.

Room is small as an outskirt resort hotel. Should have avoided having dinner at their restaurant. Food quality not compatible with the price.

Location is easy to find. Right on the beach.

Perhaps some more regular changes to the evening menu would be welcome?

Bearing in mind we stayed at the "end of the season" it was pleasing to find the hotel so clean, with the cleaning staff always evident. The Bar and Restaurant Staff were very polite and attentive. The location on the beach was a real plus and our balcony, whilst close to the road at the rear of the property the noise of the sea completely drowned it out and our view out to sea was very good.

Dinner at the restaurant was disappointing and pricey.

Great views with access to the beach within walking distance to scala de turchi along the beach. Beautiful balcony, beautiful looking restaurant on site with a good breakfast.

There is obviously a problem with the air-condition and ventilation in the hotel - they are loud and need renovation. The room was not exactly what I saw in the photos.

The hotel is lovely located at the wide, sandy beach. One can make long walks from there. The sea is shallow in this place. The pool is clean and beach facilities: deckchairs and umbrellas are easily accessible around the pool and at the beach. I wanted to sightsee so we did not use the hotel restaurant. We ate breakfasts for four days and we were not bored with them. I liked fruit juices and cereals with yoghurt. I am not used to cakes for breakfast but there was really a large choice of cakes and the ones I tried were good. I am happy to have visited the real Vigata.

The hotel was at the beach, you have to walk 3 or 4 minutes to get to the sea, breakfast was good, the beds were not comfortable.

Old, outdated

Beachfront

The beds were very uncomfortable and the restaurant had very limited/late opening hours which are not ideal for families with young kids, with no options in between.

The food was excellent, very good value for money, with a lot of fresh fish and seafood options. The cleaning staff is very good and thorough. The general facilities and proximity to the beach were good.

We were required to take dinner with the room (mezza pensione), although most people staying at the hotel did not seem to be eating there. The dinner menu was limited and the food was surprisingly poor for Sicily. Bottles of wine were expensive. None of our party of six was happy with the food choices, particularly the teen-aged children.

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.

Room is a bit dated but suited our 1 night stay. I guess the staff comments sum up how we felt as well. Just a number.

Pool area and great choice of breakfast. There are some good local restaurants within walking distance on the beachfront.
