Its location is also absolutely perfect as bars, restaurants, bakeries, fruit and vegetable shops, famous boutiques are located at a maximum distance of 50 meters from the house.

Sunny cefalu

We had a great stay in this apartment. A few issues with stove and WiFi that were promptly fixed. The location is great with shops near by. The bakery was wonderful. The apart is roomy with great outdoor space. The only downside is the very steep staircase with 50 plus steps. Also if noise is a problem you won’t like it.

Amazing Stay

This place was really awesome. Spacious living room. Bedrooms great size. Spacious loft or extra bedroom upstairs. The upstairs patio and rooftop are fantastic during the day and offer amazing views at night. Check in was well done. Quick walk to the beach and right in the mix of the town. Cefalu is a great place overall. Only thing to note is there are stairs to get up to this amazing apartment.

In the heart of Cefalú

We stayed here on our recent trip to Cefalú. The unit is conveniently located in the heart of Cefalú. It is steps away from the Duomo and a short walk to the beach. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. The unit was on the top floor and had a great view of the Duomo and the Sea. I would recommend this place.

Magnifique

Très bel appartement en plein centre de Cefalu. Hôte très conviviale et disponible. Appartement agréable, lits confortables, vu sur la rue principale depuis les petits balcons. Le coucher du soleil visible depuis la structure installé sur le toit. Je recommande.

Wonderful apartment in the center of town

We had a wonderful time, two families for a first time visit to Cefalú. The apartment was perfect for our group, and in the very center of town by the Duomo. The rooftop balcony was amazing to say the least. The owner very polite and friendly. We will definetly be back in Cefalú

Ein perfektes Appartement, tolle Lage mit Stadt und Meerblick und Dachterasse!

Die Wohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr groß, gut ausgestattet und perfekt gelegen (Achtung viele Stufen!!!). Die Klimaanlage im Wohn/Essbereich und in einem Schlafzimmer ist sehr gut. In die anderen Räume muss bei großer Hitze die kühle Luft etwas mit Ventilatoren verteilt werden. Ansonsten kann vollständig quer gelüftet werden, wir hatten also im Juli die Klima nachts oft aus! Es gibt eine spannende Dachterasse. Der Besitzer hat uns die Schlüssel persönlich übergeben, ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und spricht fließend Deutsch (Danke für den tollen Urlaub in Deiner Wohnung, Pietro ;-)

Vakantie Sicilie

De vakantie woning ligt middenin het bruisende Cefalu. Houd er rekening mee dat het appartement op de derde etage ligt, bagage neem je dus 2 grote trappen mee naar boven. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hadden wat dingetjes met de wasmachine en de stroom en die kwam hij direct oplossen. Het appartement heeft boven 3 slaapkamers en een badkamer met bad en beneden 1 slaapkamer met badkamer. Erg ruim. De keuken is wat verouderd maar voldoet prima. Alles is aanwezig. Voor 8 personen wellicht wat klein. Wij waren met 4 personen. Je bent toch veel op pad. Beneden bevind je je direct in het gezellige Cefalu. Kortom, perfecte locatie en fijn appartement ! Ps parkeren kun je op een groot terrein in de buurt wat bewaakt wordt, je loopt in circa 10 minuutjes hier naar toe.

Über den Dächern Cefalus

Fantastisch gelegene, geräumige, toll ausgestattete Wohnung im Herzen Cefalus, nur einen Steinwurf vom Domplatz entfernt. Bäckerei im gleichen Haus. Weitere Geschäfte für den täglichen Bedarf sind zu Fuß in fünf Minuten zu erreichen, ebenso Restaurants und Cafes. Ein riesiger Supermarkt ist etwa 15 Minuten entfernt, der Strand 10 Minuten. Die Dachterrasse mit Ausblick auf Meer, Altstadt, Dom und Rocca ist atemberaubend, wenn auch leider nicht sonnengeschützt. Italien in Reinform. Nicht buchen sollten Menschen, denen eine Treppe in den 3. Stock zu steil ist, die das Auto vor der Tür parken wollen und denen das Stimmengewirr und Mofageratter in den Gassen zu laut ist. Wir haben hier eine tolle Zeit verbracht und kommen gerne einmal wieder!

Mitten und über Cefalù

Die geräumige und helle Wohnung liegt mitten in Cefalù, nur ein paar Schritte vom Dom entfernt. Von der wunderbaren Terrasse hat man einen direkten Blick auf den Dom, die Dächer der Altstadt und das Meer. Danke für ein paar sehr schöne Tage in Cefalù!

onvoldoende

Allereerst moeilijk bereikbaar om met de mensen af te spreken. De woning was niet heel schoon, veel vieze vloermatjes, er lag nog een onderbroek van de vorige bewoners, er lag een gebruikt wattenstaafje. de meeste glazen zaten barsten in. De wifi deed het heel slecht. We hadden bijna een brand doordat de stekker waarop de airco zat aangesloten bijna in brand vloog, hele slechte stopcontacten. Het gasfornuis was een drama om aan te krijgen. Kortom ik raad deze locatie sterk af!

Lovely Apartment

This is a lovely spacious apartment in a great location in Cefalu. The photos don't do the outdoor terrace justice either, such a lovely space to use in the mornings/evenings. Very kind property manager who went out of their way to make our stay easy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Great central Cefalu apartment.

We stayed here for a week with our 2 teenage boys. The apartment couldn’t be anymore central. It overlooks the central Duamo square. The views from the apartment are stunning and there is a much appreciated balcony to sit in the morning sun . It is 5 minutes walk to the beach and your front door opens onto streets where all the restaurants and shops are . The apartment itself is comfortable and spacious . It is an old building so has a lot of charm but can have problems that old buildings have . We had a plumbing issue which was rapidly rectified by the owner . Parking is not possible nearby but you can park in the 24 hr secure carpark on the seafront for €10 a day . This is about 10 minute walk away . ( opposite Europcar)

Jättefin lägenhet med härlig altan

Fin lägenhet och perfekt läge mitt i gamla delen av Cefalu. Nära till allt. Tyvärr 56 trappor att gå upp och ner i, så inget för handikappade som har svårigheter med trappor. Vi älskade den och Cefalu och kommer säkert att återkomma.

Romslig, lys og hyggelig leilighet midt i gamlebyen

Det beste med leiligheten er beliggenheten, alt er nært, både bakeri, restauranter og stranda. Leiligheten er passe stor for to familier. Fine små balkonger i nederste etasje, akkurat plass til to stoler der. Hyggelig takterrasse, men litt varmt uten overbygg. Det er stor forskjell på soverommene og sengene. Bare et soverom har aircondition (+ stua) og noen av sengene er svært harde. Trappa opp til leiligheten er svært bratt, gir god trim.... Verten var veldig hyggelig. Vi parkerte leiebilen på nærmeste parkeringsplass, ca en km å gå til leiligheten.

En mycket härlig lägenhet som låg mitt i stan vid katedralen. Härlig takterrass. Jätte trevlig ägare

Bättre läge går inte att få.Vi njöt av takterassen på kvällarna. Härliga sängar för att vara i Italien. 3 min att gå till stranden. Resturanger överallt runt oss. Ägaren var jätte hjälpsam med det som vi ville ha hjälp med. Lite krångligt att parkera bilen, fick lite tips var vi kunde parkera gratis. Härlig semester/Dennis

Beautiful apartment in perfect location

What a fantastic apartment - gorgeous views from absolutely every window (including views from a terrace and even a widow's walk on the roof), comfortable sitting room, and a great, spacious layout. The location is amazing - steps from the main square and only a few blocks from the beach. The owner is easy to work with (our water was inexplicably turned off our first morning, and he had someone come to turn it back on immediately and also drove out himself to double-check that all worked out). A word of caution - the beds and sheets are not the most comfortable, and because of the great location, it can be really noisy in the evening with strolling crowds in the street below and music in the square. However, we felt like we were in a dream location and definitely look forward to visiting again.

Superlage, toll geschnittene Wohnung, netter Vermieter, guter Preis

Die Wohnung liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe des Domplatzes von Cefalu mitten in der Stadt, aber auch ganz nah zum Strand. Sie erstreckt sich über zwei Stockwerke mit Treppe in der Wohnng. Wenn man keine Lust auf Strand hat, kann man sich auch gut auf dem Balkon sonnen oder zum Essen zusammenfinden. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett, wohnt aber außerhalb. Sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis.
