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.

Very friendly owner. The communication was excelent and without complications through the booking message.
Just in front there is a Pizzeria that is delicious.
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
The hotel is located on a beautiful property with lovely views. Very peaceful. The rooms were nice and comfortable and clean. We ate at the restaurant and they were very accommodating. I have a shellfish allergy and they made sure that the menu was good for us. It was also delicious! It is a small menu with limited choices. The pool area is lovely although the pool was quite chilly in May! It is a very beautiful place to stay.
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.
This place is spotless. It was so clean I even was sorry to take a shower!
You can tell that the owner really cares about the quality of her offer. She is super nice, knows a lot about her land, she is great at giving advice!
The breakfast was spectacular, with beautiful plates and great offer.
Perfect location to visit scala dei turchi, valle dei templi & porto Empedocle.
Grazie!
The appartment was very comfortable and has a very good position for discovering the beauties of Sicily around! We enjoyed evening on the beach that is just across the street. The beach offers few bars and view on the sunset. The biggest suprise was a breakfast that we got from the owner (the best croissants we have ever eaten!) Thank you very much for such a pleasant stay!
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.
Good place to stay clean, cosy large parking. You can walk to the beach and the white cliffs, near the park of the ancient temples.
Breakfast, good coffee, good mood for the day. Dinner in this place is a good choice. The pizza my family and I picked out was the best on our 10 day trip in Sicily, delicious and juicy, and we only went to the rated ones.
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.
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.
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 owner is the nicest person ever! Super friendly and close, always trying to make the experience perfect.
He make the best cappuccino I'm Sicily!!
Very good Sicilian breakfast. The owner gave extra food for the road, a perfect host!!
Nice B&B with a great sea view terrace. Friendly hosts. Breakfast was OK. Free parking close by. Great value for the money. The town of Porto Empedocle is an authentic Sicily. Very good place for eat and drink Cotti al Forno nearby.
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.
Hotel is located by the beach and has pool and private beach area with sunbeds. Breakfast has good variety. Rooms are nice and comfy, we got a room with super large terrasse with sunbeds, which was 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.
Very nice and helpful contacts.
Apartment is located right in the center of Porto Empedocle, so bars (caffe), restaurants, supermarket and the beach all very close by.
