Top Hotels Near Sanctuary of Gibilmanna in Cefalù from NZ$102

"Room was super clean, as was the whole hotel. Staff were all cheerful and smiling. Made us feel welcome"

"Great place, and surroundings. Nobody speaks English in these parts, be prepared."

"An absolute gem of an accommodation 10 min away form Cefalu. Would return in a heartbeat!"

"The host was really welcoming and friendly. The owners were also there to welcome upon arriving. I had a wonderful stay. Beautiful property overlooking the sea. Nice room. Enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace daily. Thank you for a great stay. I brought my small dog with me and the owners and host were nice and welcomed my dog. During my staff there were two other people who stayed there, it was not noticeable. I enjoyed the pool. The first time getting there was a bit difficult as it’s hard to navigate through the mountains. Other than that, it got easier. I liked having to stay away from the crowd. It felt like a retreat. The parking is right in the property. Will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Cefalu. "

"Relaxing!! If you’re looking to get away from the hectic shoulder to shoulder crowds of crazy Palermo then this is the place to go. Very big 1 bedroom with a huge deck of your own. Every room looks over the sea and there is a small beach with chairs and even snorkeling equipment to use. The breakfast was very good and plenty of easy free parking. Put Blue Bay on your list for a great place to relax in Sicily!!!"

"We loved everything about this hotel! Would definitely stay there again"

"Fantastic staff; both front desk and restaurant"

"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"
