I recently stayed at Empedocle B&B in Sicily and had an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly kind, professional, and always available to assist us. They provided us with all the information we needed to enjoy the area, including the best beaches and restaurants.
The room was spotless and well-organized, and the hotel's location in the historical center was perfect for exploring nearby restaurants and bars. We also had a fantastic time using an Ape Moto, thanks to Diego (+393288810284), who took us to beautiful places like beaches and Valle de Templi.
Overall, our stay at Empedocle B&B was exceptional. The staff's hospitality, the clean room, and the central location made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend it and can't wait to visit again.
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.
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 fell in love with Golia and Nina at first sight, but the real treat is meeting the Owners! They overwhelmed us with their humanity, smiles, culture, charisma and warmth, and they spoiled us with mouthwatering homemade delicacies for breakfast. The establishment is a perfect location for discovering the Agrigento area, with superbe beaches nearby. The room was clean, cosy, and well equipped. We absolutely recommend Casa di Golia for everyone wishing to experience what Sicily and its people are!
We really enjoyed out stay with Giovanna's in her comfortable rooms. The delicious Sicilian breakfast included home-made cake, eggs from her chickens and citrus fruits fresh from the trees in the garden. A good location to explore all the wonderful places near Agrigento and the coast around Porto Empedocle by car. Giovanna is a wonderful hostess who gave us a very warm welcome and many useful recommendations for things to see and places to eat.
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.
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.
Our experience at this hotel was exceptional. The staff are all so welcoming! The hotel is a luxury private retreat outside of the city and in close proximity to a variety of sites.
The dinner and breakfast was wonderful as well. We can’t say enough about this property.
Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience!
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.
Vow, such a wonderful hidden gem. We were so lucky that we found this hotel. Super friendly staff, Excellent clean rooms. And bonus their pizzeria which is attached to the room is exceptionally amazing. Thank you so much making our stay so spaecial.
The hotel is right by the sandy beach, which is rare in Sicily. The rooms were modern and comfortable and there was a clean swimming pool we had access to. The breakfast was very tasty and we could take it outside with a view of the sea.
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.
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.
