Hotel on the beach
Great hotel right on the beach. As it was November there were hardly any bars/restaurants open in the evening as they had closed for the season. Hotel was lovely

Fabulous price for an elegant little hotel on the Mediterranean! The hotel has chaise lounges and umbrellas on the beach mere steps from the terrace swimming pool - a rarity in Italy. I was traveling with a group of friends and they thoughtfully gave us all rooms on the same floor. Each room had a beautiful terrace with a sea view. Another thoughtful touch - clothes drying rack with clothes pins in the corner of each terrace. Nice in-house restaurant and bar on the main floor plus many other choices nearby. Hotel desk staff all speak English.

sad that the Sea view of Superior room was actually a car park and sea only visible if you looked round the side. Other Sea view room looked at neighbour building. the photo they'd used was from a locked corridor fire escape. The desk manager was rude. Only the cleaners had smiles.

Bike hotel with an awful restaurant
On its own the hotel was not bad though certainly no four stars. But the restaurant is to avoid. Beautiful setting with horrendous food, the worst we have ever experienced in Italy.

Nice hotel but needs maintenance
Hotel was clean and staff friendly. However, there was no hot water in the morning. Breakfast was very basic and quality below average. Roof was leaking and spots on the walls were everywhere ! Nice pool and close to the beach.

Lovely pool and beach resort
The hotel was nice, clean and the staff was very friendly. Luckily my family speaks Italian or I would have had some problems communicating. Breakfast in the morning was nicely done and again, service was friendly. The room my wife and I had was great, but my daughters' room stayed hot as their AC did not function properly. That was the only downside of the hotel. And it is an easy 20 minute walk along the beach to the Scala dei Turchi.

Great location and very good hotel
We enjoyed our 4 night stay very much. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and our room was clean and spacious with a huge balcony and fabulour sea views. We were on a half biard package and breakfast and dinner were excellent. We ate lunches in the restaurant too and they were also very good. We used the hotel's sunbeds on the beach which were comfortable and well spaced out.

Modern hotel by the beach.
This pleasant hotel is on the beach and has a large swimming pool besides. About 7 km from the temples in Agrigento and a half hour walk along the beach to the spectacular Scala dei Turchi, a geological formation of white cliffs. Nice breakfast and pleasant dining poolside.

The staff were very kind and welcoming, from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the housekeepers. It was great to be so close to the beach. The hotel was a little rundown, as it was most of the local area.

Fair hotel in good location
Hotel is average, but has a nice large beach, free parking and good pool. Dinner and breakfast were okay. Not a cozy hotel, but good for overnight stay. Nearby town is okay and Agrigento and valley of the temples the main attraction.

Bellissima villa Romana!
Best hotel in Porto Empedocles, a little old fashioned however clean, friendly, and the pool was lovely (although needed to be cleaned a little more as there were quite a few flies around the sides) the rooms were always cleaned everyday, hairdryer fridge etc in the rooms however there was not an iron in the hotel which I think some people could do with! Friendly staff although the pool bar was sometimes empty. Complimentary breakfast was great, a good variety of fruit, cakes, ham, cheese etc. A coffee machine & plenty of juice. Drinks average price for a hotel but minimarket nearby which sells cold drinks & alcohol to stock up the fridge. We had no problems with the room, shower was great, balcony was also a nice size. Overall a great stay, and right on the beach, but also nice atmosphere to chill by the pool. Lovely restaurants nearby, but need a car to go into Porto Empedocles town.

A good place to stay for the valley of the Temples
We needed a hotel in this area off season and this one looked OK. It is nicely placed on the beach with what looked like good pool (but in April it wasn't in use). The beach itself isn't all that great and the view across to Porto Empedocle isn't inspiring, but the hotel has large balconies for sunbathing and spacious public areas which balance things up. We had dinner which was really good - beautifully cooked and well served, and excellent value for money. Staff were uniformly friendly an dhelpful.

Great getaway in Porto Empedocle
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and pleasant and our room, which had a good size balcony, had a fabulous view over the sea and was a great space to sit out in the sun.The hotel was within a short drive to the Valley of the Temples and only 3 hrs across the island to Mount Etna. Local food was delicious.

nice hotel right on the beach
loved being right on the beach to go for both a morning and evening walk. About a 30 minute beach walk to the Turkish steps - worth doing. Rooms are spacious with a balcony - try to get a beach facing room. Breakfast was ok with decent selection of cold items.
