"Cute hotel in a fantastic location in Cefalu. Andrea checked us in and continued to be so helpful during our stay. He gave us a couple of fantastic dinner recommendations too. The room was lovely but lacked towel rods/hooks (not even a toilet paper holder!) No bathroom amenities other than soap and shower gel/shampoo. Breakfast was very nice and we ate every morning with a wonderful view of the ocean, such a great start to the day!"

"My first visit to Cefalù was fantastic. The views of the town and beach were amazing. Every evening we enjoyed a good walk to the old town, which took about 15-20 minutes. The beach was rocky but we spent most of our time at the swimming pool. The boys had a great time and made new friends to play with. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of croissants in different flavours. Our room was clean and spacious enough for the three of us and had good air conditioning. The only downside was the poor WiFi connection and the fridge taking ages to cool a bottle of water. Overall, we all had a fantastic time and I’ll definitely return."
