Hotel Villa Romana — Hotel in Porto Empedocle

FIrst off, definitely not a 4 star hotel. The double bed we got were just two twins we had to shove together, the beds are not comfortable, the AC sometimes gets error messages and stops cooling properly. The floor I think is not well soundproofed, we were constantly woken by someone moving something upstairs, like louder than if they were in the very same room with us. The parking area is too small for the amount of card so be prepared to squeeze it into the most weird difficult spot in the courtyard, but at least you can still park it within, outside there is a lot of public parking but it looks kind of sketchy. The Wifi didnt reach our rooms, so we had no internet.||||The good parts: the pool is amazing, you can just relax in the beds with umbrellas and have an amazing time there, the pool is immaculate and makes for a great place to relax. And if you walk a couple of meters further they have beds and umbrellas at the beach as it is beachfront.||The fact that this part is so amazing, it really is such a pity that they don't upgrade the rest of the hotel (i.e. the rooms) to go along with how nice it is when you are outside.||||And a warning: the restaurant is overpriced for less than average quality food,...

We stayed at the hotel first week of November coming to the end of season in Minori and booked before reading into the hotel as we found a good deal. It’s worth knowing before booking that the hotel does not have parking available and our parking costs equated to approx 100 euros for the week which we did not anticipate. Additionally the use of the pool was not available due to the time of the year which was frustrating as the temperatures were still as high as 22/23 degrees. Furthermore, the room was hot and the air conditioning units do not work after November, we were simply told to open the balcony doors for fresh air. It should be noted that the noise of the traffic outside the hotel even out of peak season made it feel like i was sleeping on an F1 track. The plug sockets were irritatingly situated in the room, only 2 available which was awkward when trying to charge phones and no where near the bed when relaxing. The hotel was spotlessly clean, with fresh bedding and towels every day - the housekeepers do a fantastic job there. All the staff were very pleasant and welcoming, I just wish we visited Minori in the summer to appreciate the...

TOP: Location - 2 steps to an awesome beach and white walls POTENTIAL: wifi not working, room cleaning and Services... overall sad experience. WRAP UP: a bed&breakfast dressed as 4stars.

i checked out few hours ago, after 2 nights.. I am a bit upset because expecting a 4 star hotel but I have faced few issues.

the bed sheets has not been changed after the first night and it has a hole in the middle (see photos), dust and mold in the walls and the pressure of the water in every tap, sink or shower lowers if everybody doing a shower. the WiFi works only from midnight until 5 am just because nobody is using it. the park is free but no room for it.. sadly after check out I was forced to ask help to get out because an other car squeezed behind my car. overall annoying and stupid things but that makes the difference if you shout out to the market that you are a 4 star hotel. Out of what I mentioned above about this building (originally looks a residential building then fitted as hotel) the beach is great, the location is super, close by good restaurants and few retailers.

I don't give 1 star feedback just because of...
