suggested to travellers more than to tourists, that's an authentic Sicilian experience in a place that reminds more of a homestay than a hotel, which I personally appreciated. the building is of the '60s/'70s, so yes: it's "ugly", the walls are thin, etc, but the "reconstruction" (big rebuilding era, immediately after WW2 bombings) is a relevant part of the history of Sicilian architecture, so if you want to experience Sicily: that's something Sicilian. the interiors were recently renewed, so the flat is functional, very clean, and has everything you need. the balcony has a 180° view facing East, so you catch the hills in your left, then some other '60s buildings and a beautiful old church in front of you, the main road on your right side and the beach just behind it (you can walk to the beach in 5', crossing a trafficked road of conjunction to Porto Empedocle village, which you can also walk to go to Porto Empedocle village in about 30'). the family lives all around in the other flats of the building and they really lovely, helpful and welcoming: take your time to get to know them, they are really nice family. there is a bus stopping in the nearby which brings you easily to the Temples and to Agrigento, to the Scala dei Turchi go by foot via beach (30'), in Porto Empedocle there is a e-bike and e-scooter rental for more distant tours.
