A week in Cefalu

We had a wonderful time in Cefalu with our family. Our host, Patrizia, was welcoming and helpful. Our accommodations were comfortable and quiet and the location was perfect. The area was central to absolutely everything including the wonderful bakery right around the corner by the duomo and the many shops and restaurants. We climbed La Rocca, took the train to Palermo and had a fabulous tour of the Aeolian Islands. The beach was so beautiful and convenient also. Cefalu in May was a dream.

Our family of four had a delightful and immersive experience in this Cefalù property, right near the duomo (center square). Our host was kind, responsive and incredibly helpful as he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The apartment was in a quiet cul de sac with easy walking access to incredible restaurants, shops, stores and the beach. We parked in the port for free and paid eight Euros to get a ride on a golf cart into the square with our luggage. We enjoyed cooking breakfast on most mornings as the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. We appreciated the AC units in all of the rooms and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Cefalù!

Wonderful. Amazing. Best Rental Ever!

We arrived very late into Palermo airport and we were delayed with our car rental. Patrizia and her husband waited up until 1am to greet me and my family. They are a very welcoming, kind couple. They had fresh fruit on arrival. They also then helped my husband find a parking space for the car. They are the nicest people. Before we arrived they e-mailed and asked me if there was anything they could supply for us in advance as the shops would be closed The apartment is beautiful. It is right beside the town square but also very quiet at night. It was a 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Everything you could need is supplied. It was clean and tidy. The balcony is a really nice place to sit. The kitchen is very well equipped and the shops are next door for food shopping. My children loved where they were sleeping especially my son - who saw his bed in the loft as an adventure. I would highly recommend Cefalu and this apartment. We had a wonderful holiday. Patrizia is a wonderful person to deal with. Sicily is wonderful. The listing description is 100% accurate. The customer service was 100% Thanks for a great holiday Orla

The best accomodation

Our group of 7 really enjoyed staying at Patrizia's home. The location of the property is great ..very central, yet quiet . It is a 7 min walk to the beautiful sandy beach with blue crystal water. Also, there is. 5 min walk to the start of the hike of La Rocca ( which i highly recommend as there is an amazing view of Cefalu, the sea and surroundings) Lots of shops and great restaurants in walking distance and the Cathedral is just around the corner. The house is a typical italian house ( which is just beautiful), with air conditioning, comfortable beds, washing machine ,microwave and everything a family needs. The bonus is the patio where we enjoyed a cold drink in the evening.. The house is so much more beautiful than shown in the pictures. The neighborhood is completely safe . Patrizia is an amazing host....she went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy our vacation. We arrived late at night and Patrizia found a great restaurant which was open until 3 am and she waited for us and explained us all about the house. Did I mention that there was wine, water ,juice in the fridge for us? Also, we were with a 5 years old boy who loved the sand toys Patrizia had at the house....and beach umbrellas and chairs were so helpful. I highly recommend Patrizia's house and getting to know Patrizia is definitely an unique, beautiful experience. We will definitely come back to Patrizia's great house in beautiful Cefalu .

Schönes Haus in der Altstadt

Für uns vier war viel Platz in dem schönen Altstadthaus in ruhiger Innenhoflage. Wir haben die kurzen Fußweg sowohl vom Bahnhof als auch zum Strand, zum Bummeln und zu Restaurants sehr geschätzt. Patrizia war sehr hilfsbereit und ansprechbar. Das fehlende WiFi hat nur unsere Teenies gestört. Die Eltern waren rundum zufrieden!

Wonderful!

I stayed here with my husband and two small children (3 and 4 years old) for 5 nights in July 2022. The house fit our needs perfectly. The location is fantastic-- a short walk to the beach, right around the corner from the Cathedral, and a short hike to the park entrance for hiking La Rocca. Our host, Patrizia, was so sweet and accommodating and responded to our every need. Early check-in/late check-out was incredibly generous. We also greatly appreciated the beach umbrellas, beach towels, and sand toys for the kids-- so convenient! The AC worked perfectly and the beds were very comfortable. Overall we loved our time in Cefalù and can't wait to come back! :)

Lovely place in beautiful Céfalu

Very nice place, in beautiful Céfalu. The apartment is very central located, close to the Duomo. In few minutes you reach the beach, there is plenty of choice of restaurants. Breakfast you can get every morning fresh from the bakery just outside the apartment. The flat is located in an inner court, your neighbors are all locals which gives your stay a very authentic touch. In the house all essential things are provided to make you have a perfect stay. The house is kept very clean and is maintained well. Patrizia, the owner, and her husband offer you all the help and advice you could need and Patrizia contacts you already early in advance to find out what you need. We really liked staying in this beautiful place and recommend it to anyone, looking for a central location in the beautiful Céfalu. Thanks a lot for the nice welcome and perfect stay, Patrizia!

Cefalu in summer

This was our second trip to Cefalu in the last 3 years. We chose Patrizia's apt because of the location and it did not disappoint. One via from the Duomo, yet tucked away on a private viccolo and court yard. Fantastic location. Only one hiccup...was probably the hottest summer in 50 years in Sicily. The air conditioner malfunctioned and we did not have air conditioning. Patrizia did every thing she could to remedy the problem..from having technicians out 3 times, buying two mobile air coolers and a promise to refund the daily charge for the air conditioning. She could not have done more, except maybe personnally fanning us herself !!! It was difficult but we still love Cefalu.

Maison dans la vieille ville au calme

Nous avons été très bien accueillie par Patrizia dans cette maison en plein coeur de la vieille ville, à deux pas du duomo. Ç' est une maison sur trois niveaux avec une terrasse pour les petits déjeuners et dîners. La maison est très propre et bien équipée avec des petites attentions de la part de Patrizia. A recommander pour celles et ceux qui veulent bénéficier de la ville et d'un accès à la plage proche.

Dejlig bolig midt i hjertet af Cefalú. Hvis man ikke er bange for lidt trapper er her masser af plads med tre soveværelser og dejligt opholdsrum. Terrassen bliver hurtigt omdrejningspunkt for feriens måltider. Patrizia er altid disponibel og meget venlig.

Really central flat, quiet and ample space

We had a really nice time in this flat. We were two adults and four children and Patrizia went out of her way to accommodate this in terms of sleeping arrangements and was very helpful in general. Great communication all round! We enjoyed having dinners on the terrace. Afterwards the kids ran out for ice cream at nearby gelaterias. In the morning we picked up freshly baked bread from the baker’s around the corner. We also really enjoyed getting a taste of authentic Cefalù life as the flat is situated in a courtyard alongside other residences with regular Italians :-). You can easily get to the beach as well. All in all we highly recommend this flat if you’re up for an authentic experience right in the centre of Cefalù.

Beautiful home

We loved this home. Plenty of room for six of us and very comfortable. The location was perfect. We were close to everything. We were here for a wedding in which the various events were scattered all over the town and we felt very centrally located. All the amenities we needed were included and the host could not be more accommodating. Anything we needed she was able to help us with. The best part was the 2 minute walk to th Plaza every morning to have coffee and breakfast. I highly recommend this house for your stay in Cefalù
