The ocean waves are a stones throw away. You can sit and enjoy the view and sound of the waves along the rocks from the couch and double balconies. Communication with Pier was amazing. The pictures do not do the apartment justice. You even have a balcony that looks out on the bell towers of the Duomo and La Rocca! Gorgeous area, amazing people and scrumptious food to be had even iin the middle of winter.
"My real date of stay was May, 27 - June, 09 2012. Unfortunately, due to some technical problem my testimonial did not appear on this site in time.
I highly recommend the apartment and the owner. The apartment is spacious enough for a family of 3, has 3 balconies. It is very quiet being situated far from noisy bars and discos yet a few steps from the downtown with all its attractions. A nice small restaurant just round the corner and a variety of shops all around.
For those who would like to try swimming off the rocks the sea is literally next to your door. To get to a sandy beach you''ll have to walk for some 10 minutes through the medieval quarters of Cefalu watching the bustling life of this cosy little town.
The apartment has everything to supply for a relaxed holiday life. The owner is very helpful. My only complaint is that the apartment is unavailable for our holiday dates this year :)"
Great place to stay in heart of CefalĂč.
We had no desire to cook - but Iâm not sure if I think kitchen equipment was adequate. I say this only because there were not 2 matching wine glasses. 1 big, 1small, 1 round, one tulip.
Think in Italy every kitchen should have wine glasses!
That was our only complaint. So minor.
Washer and location made up for it.
We stayed 3 nights at Cefalu. So happy with the apartment. Close to everywhere. The owners suggested us 3 restaurants. We tried two of them. Great people. We highly reccomend this place. The sea view is priceless. We were picked up at the free car parking lot and brought back. Great service.
Ein nettes kleines Appartment - gut fĂŒr zwei Personen - etwas unterhalb des Domplatzes und ziemlich zentral gelegen. Das beliebte kleine Cefalu ist natĂŒrlich von hier aus gut zu erlaufen und sowohl zu den Klippen als auch zum Strand sind es nur wenige Minuten Laufweg.
KĂŒche und Bad sind ausreichend und das Bett fĂŒr italienische VerhĂ€ltnisse gut - leider ist der Meerblick etwas eingeschrĂ€nkt und die StraĂe zur anderen Seite abends/nachts ziemlich laut (das wĂ€ren aber die einzigen Minuspunkte).
Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit !!
This apartment is in the middle of the town, so lots of shops and street action and friendly neighbors. We enjoyed that aspect -- and the view of the sea.The owner Pier helped us a lot with the various rules and regulations dealing with parking -- he even drove us around with his family to help us figure it out. The interior decoration is a little sparse -- he could add another lamp. But very clean and functional.
"To live in a hotel in Cefalu is a huge sin. Weâve chosen this apartment and had everything we wanted â a possibility to touch to real Sicilian life. Pleasant house neighbors saying âBuongiornoâ every morning with a smile, very nice owner of a small shop of vegetables just downstairs and funny pizza makers just a few steps from an apartment. All of them were shouting âCiaoâ every time they saw us. Sea view from one of the balconies let us follow changes of the sea waves (the sea was so close!) and the view from the other balcony to the narrow street was an opportunity to follow real life of real Sicilians. Practical side: weâve been living with two children for 12 days and had everything we needed. Kitchen is very well equipped â pots, pans, dishes. We even have founded a grater for a Parmesan! Apartment is light and has cute window shutters, there is always hot water in a shower. No noise at all. And what I liked mostly - its very clean. So highly recommend this apartment with pleasant owners"
Abbiamo passato delle belle vacanze ,sia i proprieteri che i vicini di casa sono stati molto disponibili e gentili. Se non fosse stato per la tanta pioggia e il maestrale..... ma cioÂŽin Sicilia non era prevedibile.. Grazie e arrivederci.

"Had a wonderful stay. Pier was very prompt in responding to all inquiries, and very friendly upon our arrival. The apartment was perfectly located in the central of the old city."
"Appartamento molto bello, spazioso e pulito, recentemente ristrutturato, dotato di tutti i comfort, come da descrizione. L''appartamento gode di una doppia esposizione, con una magnifica vista sul mare, come da foto pubblicate. I proprietari sono stati molto gentili e cordiali in ogni situazione. Sicuramente uno tra i migliori alloggi in cui siamo stati."
"L''appartamento era esattamente come descritto dal sito. Accogliente, pulito, dotato di ogni confort, con una vista sul mare davvero insuperabile!!! Un caloroso saluto a Pier e alla sua famiglia per l''ottima accoglienza che hanno saputo darci! Marco e Monica"
"This is an excellent apartment which excelled the description on the website. The owner Pier was extremely courteous, prompt and willing to assist. For two adults and a child we had plenty of space and we were right in the heart of town. We would recommend this apartment wholeheartedly."
"This is a lovely flat with balconies front and back and the bedroom is very large. Piersandro also found a lovely cot for our 16mth old baby and a nice high chair too. Many evenings we simply spent time on the balcony with a glass of wine having put our baby to bed.
If I have any criticisms it is of Cefalu and the non observance of traffic restrictions by the drivers. We spent much of our time hauling the baby buggy out of the way of cars and scooters in narrow streets which were supposed to be traffic free. Guess that is a very English thing to say. But we choose Cefalu because we thought it would be more child friendly in that regard than Palermo. When actually Palmero has streets which are not only pedestrianised but the situation is enforced.
Cefalu is a lovely and magical place though. Happy memories. Tip: the best pasticceria and most reasonable is Pietro's on the way to the station in via Giuseppe Giglio."
"Ci siamo trovati molto bene.
Molto gentile e disponibile il propietario Pier che Ăš venuto a prenderci in stazione.
Ottimo alloggio, ben tenuto, pulito ed attrezzato di tutto punto.
Nel cuore di CefalĂč a pochi passi dalla piazza del Duomo e dalla spiaggia.
Dai tre terrazzini si gode una suggestiva vista mare e cittĂ .
Lo consiglierĂČ sicuramente agli amici.

"We enjoyed our 3 weeks holyday in this clean and cosy appartment. The seaview was great, some days we even could see the islands of lipari, The look to the little street, where the daily life passed was interesting.
The landlord was very helpful and friendly. It was important for him, that we felt comfortebul."
"We stayed at the aparment for two weeks in July and June. The appartment is nice and well located, as described in the advertisement, and it was pleasantly cool even in the hot Sicilian weather. The owner is very sincere and helpful. We would gladly come again."
"We are a family with 3 children and stayed for 6 nights in May. The location was perfect in the middle of the historical centre, close to shopping, restaurants and the beach. The apartment was clean and nice, the landlord was very nice and helpful. Balconys on both sides of the apartment was great where we could sit and enjoy the sun and the street life. Only negative thing is the distance to the harbour to park the car, as you must have a special permittance to park in the historical part of the city. We would absolutely like to go here again."
"L'appartamento Ăš come descritto sul sito di homelidays. Molto pulito e con una bella vista sul mare. Molto vicino al centro del paese.
I proprietari sono molto disponibili e cordiali."
"The apartment was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was exactly as described and in a great location within the old part of town and with a short walk to the beach. The view from the balcony across the sea was lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning meant that we could sleep well with the windows closed as there was some traffic noise (due to the cobbled streets below). The owner was extremely helpful and we would love to come back again."
