10.0“An incredible apartment right by the sea”
+An incredible apartment right by the sea, with a balcony offering beautiful views and unforgettable sunsets. You simply walk out of the property, cross the street, and dive into crystal-clear waters full of colorful fish. The bed and pillows were top quality, and the bathroom was beautiful. Everything was spotless and perfectly maintained. An outstanding place to stay!
−The only downside is that the property is located just inside the ZTL (restricted traffic zone), and the public parking is about a 15-minute walk away. Getting there with suitcases can be a bit tricky.

6.0+We liked the view, and the close proximity to the old town and beaches. We liked the free gift basket on arrival, and the free parking at Al Pescatore.
−The apartment was not very clean. The bathroom had an unpleasant sulphurous smell and was stained, with some bubbling paint in the shower and a dirty black shower mat. The bathroom sink had black mold growing in the drain. We tried to use the bathroom as little as possible. Normally we wouldn't mind these things but the cost of the apartment is very high and we expected more because the photos made it look better than it actually is. We researched many other apartments before we booked this one. None looked great and it seems Cefalu is swamped by tourists. So high prices and mediocre accommodation is the norm.

7.0+The view is perfect. But just the bathroom is smelly. But I guess that’s the issue for whole cefalu? Other than that, it’s a good stay. Host is very responsive.

10.0“Best view to wake up to.”
+Perfect location, short walk into town. Was quiet but still easy to get to the Main Street. Place had everything we needed. The hosts were lovely, left us plenty of necessities (bathroom items, water, snacks) and check in was super easy. Balcony was a treat and the view was perfection, we couldn’t have been happier. Bed comfy, shower was great and plenty of clean towels.
−The bins are a little confusing but just follow the instructions on the sheet provided by the host.

10.0“Incredible, peaceful, sea view gem”
+The view from the room and the balcony is spectacular. The apartment is spacious and open. The bed is comfortable. It’s nice to have a separate sitting room and handy to have small kitchen. We mostly just prepared fruit, yogurt and coffee, but we thoroughly enjoyed sipping our coffee and watching the waves break on the rocky shoreline from the balcony. The apartment is just a 5 minute walk to the town. We’ve stayed in town before but preferred this location as it is out of the noise, hustle, and bustle of town. We definitely hope to rent Grazia’s lovely apartment again in the future.

10.0“Bright beautiful Cefalu apartment”
+Lovely bright modern apartment overlooking the sea. Well stocked with some extras such as a bottle of wine, water, coffee pods, body wash and condiments left by host. Good air conditioning and comfortable bed. Easy and responsive communication with host. Just minutes to walk into the old town where there are endless shops and restaurants.
−No complaints at all
