“The most magical stay! Located in the perfect location, super spacious, the most beautiful balcony and very easy to comm”
+This property is in the best location, very spacious and has the most beautiful balcony looking over the old town. It is located above a delicious granita shop and feels like you get the full Cefalu experience.
−Can be a little noisy at night with the location being right in the centre.
+Amazing property. Clean, view of ocean, old town, and la Rocca. Nice terrace to sit and relax, lounge, and be part of bustling town. Beach is a few minutes walk away. If you like to be right in the heart of old town and experience this gem, Cefalu!, we highly recommend!!!!

+The location was perfect for our week in Cefalu! The apartment was an easy 15 minute walk from the station, and 5 minute walk to a lovely sandy beach. As mentioned by others, there are 3 levels but the view from the terrace is worth the climb. We cooked most of our meals, and enjoyed the best sunset in Cefalu from the terrace. The kitchen was well equipped, and a supermarket was a 10-15 minute walk.
−Nothing, we would happily return for another relaxing week in Cefalu.

“Great location and view, would stay again”
+Great location with a lovely balcony and view and only a couple of minutes walk to the beautiful beach and cathedral. We loved our stay and would stay again. It’s on 3 levels the first floor lounge has sofa beds, the 2nd floor a separate double bedroom and the top floor kitchen and balcony. It was reasonably easy to find and we were able to check in early. The communication with Andrea and Guido was very good.
−We liked everything really but a few things that could be improved and/or could matter to some people: The wardrobe was small and short so unable to hang longer clothes. Not much room around the bed. Lots of stairs. One loose and broken tile at beginning of stair from 2nd to top. Loose toilet seat that moved. Reasonably priced restaurant recommended seemed very expensive to us so be wary of high season prices.

“We cannot thank enough for the greatest stay in Cefalu we had”
+The location of the apartment is perfect in the historical city center, with the seashore 3 min away by feet, and with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The view from the terrace is great. The hosts are the most welcoming and responsive and easy to communicate. Andrea was nice to talk to and helped us with the check-in and accommodating. The apartment has all the listed amenities and was spacious enough for our family of 3. Would definitely recommend it.
−Stairs are not a real downside for us but should be minded for people with limited movement abilities.

“Wonderful. The property was perfect for our 4 day stay.”
+We loved this property it is has three levels with the top floor having the kitchen and a beautiful terrace with fantastic views to the water and looking over the beautiful cobble streets. Comfortable and clean. It is situated on a small plaza with a cute church and great coffee shop! Would highly recommend this property.

“If you stay here during your visit to Cefalu, you will be very happy.”
+Fantastic apartment perfectly located in old Cefalu. Plenty of space and comfortable terrace with charming views. Everything you could need and very responsive and pleasant host.
−Property is excellent. Nothing wrong but you should expect lots of steps.

“Great Location but the product itself fell short.”
+The location was ideal.
−The owners were difficult to get a hold of, until the last minute when they finally told me where to find the key. After I communicated with the owners that I had arrived, they sent me a welcome email (around 1 day after my arrival). It would have been nice to have the welcome email with all the recommendations of places to eat before my arrival. Also when I asked about what coffee I should be, like a recommendation there was no response by the owner. In sum, the owners were not really interested in welcoming me like they perhaps should have. The kitchen did not have all the essentials, the bathroom shower had a hair in it (probably from the previous occupant). The towels looked frayed and were hard on the skin. During my stay, I noticed I had some red spots on my skin (on my back) so I am not sure the sheets/towels were cleaned to my satisfaction. All it all, it is the location that was great, everything else about the property was lackluster at best. If I had to grade my experience, (A being the best and F being the worse), I would say a C/C+ best describes my experience. Next time I come I would pick a different property.

“A lovely stay in a beautiful special place.”
+Great location - in the heart of the old town overlooking a little square with a picturesque church and very short walk to main cathedral square. Also easy walk to beach and ten minutes walk from train station. Lovely roof terrace with wonderful view of church and the rock face behind the town. Also note that there were things like oil, salt and washing up liquid that a previous reviewer had wanted, so either the host pays attention or they do just leave the previous visitor's left overs for the next batch and it's pot luck. Cefalù itself is just lovely - our second visit and we'd happily come back again, including returning to this place.
−Not the hosts fault but there can be quite a lot of noise in the early hours from nocturnal street cleaning, rubbish collection etc. They seem to go back and forth many times! Also the endless short loop of chirpy pipe music from a nearby shop could drive you crazy if you stayed in all day - someone needs to talk to that shopkeeper!
