Our host Vincenzo, kindly suggested that we switch to his apartment in the town of Porto Empedocle as it was end of season and the original house was in an isolated area. The apartment in town was well presented as I am sure the house would have been, we were welcomed by Vincenzo's mother. Some breakfast food was left for us which we enjoyed. Car parking was limited in the street, but we parked by the fort in the port area, only 5 minutes walk away. We enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the little town, finding great bars and restaurants as well as visiting the nearby Valley of the Temples and the beach beside the 'Turkish Steps'. Vincenzo and his Mother are clearly excellent hosts, we were very comfortable, I would be happy to return to any of their properties in the future.
