"Great stay with Francesco, Nino (his father) and Concetta (who made breakfast and cleaned the rooms)! The property is in a beautiful setting and Francesco takes pride in keeping the grounds beautiful. Nice plantings, a beautiful lawn, and well maintained. Everyone was very helpful and willing to give tips and suggestions for visiting the area. Breakfast was nice and served on the covered terrace with fantastic views.
The only negatives were the short dirt road that you had to travel to get to...
"Very nice B&B just outside of historic town and close to the beach and a nice grocery store. The traffic in the summer can be crazy around the town so plan to be patient and best to coordinate where to park the car with the owner ahead of arrival. The owner is super friendly and accommodating our needs. We had a great time in town. "
"The property offers a convenient location close to both the train station and the beach. Our room was comfortable, and we appreciated the benefit of a private balcony."
"The apartment is beautiful and comfy with easy walk to the beach and to the old town. The service was great and the owner share a lot of useful tips. "
"Wonderful stay. We booked last minute and unexpectedly when deciding to stay a night and it was everything we needed. Convenient, clean, good price, nice staff & great breakfast. "

"Great location about 20 min walk to old town. Some lovely restaurants on the way just before you pass through the city wall. Lovely beach nearby the hotel. Would recommend."
"My wife and I absolutely loved staying here. Staff was super nice, the view of Cefalu was incredible, the rooms were furnished well, and the breakfast was done to perfection "
Very nice villa with pool with stunning views in Cefalù
8/10 Good
"Travelling as two families with 4 adults and 5 children (ages 11 to 17), we enjoyed our holiday at this property, which has great view overlooking the sea from its location in the hills above Cefalu. The villa is about 400 metres above sea level, on the winding mountain road up to the sanctuary at Gibilmanna. This made for a very pleasant climate (noticeably less humid than in Cefalu itself), great views and a calming location, although it does mean that a car is absolutely essential as there are no shops or restaurants closer than a 15 minute drive away. The property itself is made of three separate buildings - a row of 4 bedrooms, with a detached kitchen / living room opposite that, and a separate annex with further beds down some steps, next to the table tennis. There is a nice covered outdoor eating area, an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven on on the same level as the main bedroom suite. The property is on a steep hill, with an off-road parking area above it which is much easier than the tricky access to the front entrance, but is quite a bit of effort when carrying shopping etc. Giovanni was a very helpful and responsive host, assisted by Adzim (apologies for any misspelling!) who emptied bins daily and was generally on hand for any issues. There are a few maintenance issues with the property which will continue to require attention, but this is a rustic property in a rural location and Giovanni & Adzim do their best to address any problems"
"We loved our stay at this charming hotel in Cefalu. The rooms, hotel and grounds are beautiful. The restaurant is spectacular.. some of the best food we had in Italy. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Every interaction with them was pleasant and very helpful and they even helped me strengthen my Italian skills. They have some of the best smelling toiletries I’ve ever encountered, and even the cleaning staff was super friendly.. The hotel is a bit of a hike from the center of Cefalu so bring comfortable shoes for the track, but the distance offers a bit of a getaway and peacefulness."
