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!

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 .

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.

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! :)

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.

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

wonderful holiday
We are a six people family coming from est europe, we spent a week in this delightful home. Patrizia, our host, greeted us preparing everything to make our stay really pleasant: fruit and wine to welcome us, a small, nice souvenir and a perfectly clean house. The house is exactly as described in the ad , it is much larger than it appears in photos. We have enjoyed a very peaceful place, incredible considering that the house is very close to the lively Piazza Duomo. The courtyard where the house is located is a true oasis of peace, the terrace is perfect for moment of great relaxation. And then Cefalù, rich of many opportunities of fun and entertainment all day and night, with its beaches and its beautiful cliffs, and its arab norman architecture, its friendly and joyful people. We had always heard about the light of Sicily, discover it in person was an unforgettable experience and to show it to us was Cefalù, wonderful small town of a big wonderful island: Sicily

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!

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.

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.
