Beautiful property set about an 8 minute walk from the old town and beach. Downhill going and uphill on the way back. Also a short walk from the train station. The staff were amazing.

Very friendly staff. Convenient location to walk into the touristic centre. Smart and well maintained property. Smart TV in the room with Amazon, Netflix, YouTube. Fridge in the room. No safe in the room. Only bin was in the toilette and quite small. Tea in the room, but no coffee. You order pastries for breakfast the day before.

Lovely large clean room & bathroom. Toiletries in the bathroom. Staff were pleasant & helpful.
There was a lift, which was a bonus, especially when you have a suitcase.
We had a balcony which was nice.
The main shopping street was a 2 minute walk away.
Overall an enjoyable stay.

This hotel is a beautiful escape from the noisiness and business of Palermo. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and unique. The courtyard around the hotel is so peaceful. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Loved our stay at Ballarooms Experience.
The B&B was in a very central position close to Ballaro market and was very comfortable- we even had a sauna in our room!
Mariella served a lovely breakfast in her other B&B 5 minutes walk from where we were staying.

We stayed here for one fabulous week in Aug 2020; Marco was an outstanding host. He was extremely helpful, easy going and very chatty. He gave us plenty of local info and advice. Thank you for the excellent tip for the best ice cream bar ever :-)
We highly recommend this area and Marco's apartments.
Special thanks also goes to the lady who insured our apartment was well stocked and always super clean.

Not walking distance into town but shuttle service is good. Unfortunately the shuttle finishes at 6.30pm. Food options limited not what I’d expect from 4* hotel

A boutique hotel in a converted villa. Many amazing period features and our room was large and spacious.
Restaurant serves excellent evening meals and is good value.
Spa allows for exclusive use of the pool, steam room etc was is very relaxing.
The villa is located around 5km from the beach and Palermo and requires transport to get to either location.
Overall if you want a relaxing holiday in a beautiful 17th century villa then this is the place for you.

Wonderful hotel. Some of the positives include: 1) Fantastic check in experience - complimentary glass of prosecco while the staff talked us through the resort and what Cefalu has to offer.
2) Beautiful room with a huge queen sized bed, panoramic view of the sea and pool, room cleaned twice a day every day.
3) Several choices of places to swim and sunbathe, from the lovely pool and two private coves/deck areas at the resort, to the private beach in town.

Many hotels in this area offer exquisite views of the Mediterranean Sea, creating a perfect atmosphere to relax and rejuvenate with your family. Enjoying a soak under the stars after a day of adventure is an experience you'll cherish.
