It provided a practical stop enroute during our road trip of Sicily. We received a great welcome, staff were very friendly and there was secure parking. Furnishings were basic but everything was there and there was a huge terrace. The location provided easy access to Agrigento and beaches, the town itself was somewhat underwhelming but had a selection of shops and restaurants.
Featuring a shared lounge and views of city, B&B Palazzo Melluso is a bed and breakfast situated in a historic building in Porto Empedocle, 600 metres from Marinella Beach.

A really special place with a very helpful and friendly host, location great
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
Giovanni is a very good host. He made us comfortable and gave us lots of useful information about the area. We really enjoyed the free gelato instead of the breakfast as we were leaving very early next day. The property is next to the main high street of Porto Empedocle with free parking nearby but it is very quiet. There are good restaurants (Il Ritrovo), gelateria and mini supermarket nearby. It is perfect place to visit Valley of Temples and Stairs of the Turks.
We very much enjoyed our one night stay.
Conveniently located close to Porto Empedocle and Stair of the Turks by walking.
The host was very friendly, spoke English (thank you) and greeted us promptly and warmly.
Our room was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Everything looks new!
Breathtaking views of the sea from the common area patio.
Continental breakfast included was very good! A fresh cake baked every morning. So good!
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.
The small boutique hotel with 8 rooms is exceptional.
The restauration, decoration and maintenance is made with taste and love from the owners.
The attention from Domenico and Mara and the staff is very pleasant ant friendly.
Good place in the middle of the country, close to the Temple Valley and Scala dei Turchi.
I recommend Bovo Marina beach (25km) too.
The dinner is probably the best local cuisine we had on the island so far.
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.
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 wonderful large clean pool and for two of our three days there was noone else enjoying it.
Great location if you have a car as close to Porto Empedocle, Turkish steps, Valley of the Temples, amazing beaches.
Helpful staff who took a delivery of emergency travel docs for us, which we appreciated.
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 owners were welcoming and very kind. Everything in the apartment worked fine. It was spacious and comfortable. Location is ok for Porto Empedocle. The neighborhood is quiet and not so busy as the rest of town.
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.
Perfectly well located hotel near the beach.
Helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Nice pool area.
Free Parking provided.
We will be coming back again.
