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.

the hole place is really very nice and original furnitured. Everything is new and in good condition. The host is very simpatic. Was a pleasure to stay there.
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...

Giusy was an amazing host, she was available via WhatsApp any time and had some nice tipps for us.
The room was equipped as discribed and shown on the pictures. A small balcony to hang out wet towels from the beach is a nice add on.
Due to covid, breakfast is not served in the accomodation, thus we had vouchers for a local pasticceria with really good coffee and croissants.
In Porto empedocle there is not much to see, nur Agrigento and the beaches are nearby.
We would stay there any time again!
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.
We were traveling all through Sicily and this was a small slice of heaven. World class hospitality and accommodations in an incredibly serene setting. The owners are warm and welcoming, they anticipated our every need. The restaurant served a beautiful breakfast and our dinners, prepared by their private chef served under the stars was an amazing experience. We did not want to leave.
Salvina was a wonderful host. She greeted us with an aperitivo. She gave a booklet with recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and sights to see. The hotel was located just a few minutes drive to the Scala dei Turchi and about a 25 minute drive to the Valley of the Temples. The rooms are modern and very clean, and the shared terrace has a beautiful view of the sea.
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.
Smelt lovely and fresh when we walked into the room. Felt like a 5* hotel. Room was well presented. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, the thickest hot chocolate. Served, fresh fruit and fruit juice, coffee, meats, bread, cakes. Restaurant next door was packed the whole time we were there so recommend booking in advance.
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!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This place was a one night stop during our Sicily road trip and it was so much better than we expected. The room is incredibly clean and the best bathroom. The view from the balcony was epic and the beach in front was my fav.
PLUS there is the most delicious cake in the kitchen for guests to eat.
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.
The hotel seems quite new and very nice, child friendly, the room was very big and clean. Delicious rich breakfast, Nice and quiet area, close enough to places of major interest. We had a wonderful time, thank you!
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.
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
