About this property

Historic Center & Sea in Cefalù—The Pearl of Sicily

  • A spacious holiday apartment of 95 m2 located in the historic heart of the city classified World Heritage UNESCO, almost pedestrian zone. The sea is 3 minutes walk, and the street is quiet, close to the busy streets and the Lungomare (the seaside). Cefalù is, in the opinion of all travelers, a dream destination because we find all the pleasures, whether as a couple, family or friends. From Cefalù we visit the whole of Sicily. The Aeolian Islands are right in front!

The property was amazing - such a huge space and had all of the amenities that you could possibly require. The host Sabina was perfect - check in was easy but also really helpful recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Cefalù but also on our next destination Palermo. I would highly recommend this. 5 star adventure.

This place was our favourite stay during our whole favourite. Great location to the train station, the beach, and all the restaurants. The property is clean and so adorable. The hosts were incredible. We wish we had more time here because the place was so amazing. If we ever return the Cefalu we know where we will be staying.

Fantastic apartment

The apartment was fantastic. Literally steps from many many restaurants, shops and most important gelato. Mirella that let us into the apartment and showed us around was wonderful. The little balcony was great to sit out on at night and people watch. Would definitely stay here again.

A gem in the heart of Cefalu

We had the best time at this apartment, it's in the best location in the heart of Cefalu with a beautiful backdrop, a great restaurant just up the way and a balcony overlooking everything. Everything was spacious and clean and we had great communication - really enjoyed our stay!

Favourite place we’ve stayed as a family.

During 8 weeks touring Italy as a family of 4 (2 children), this was our favourite accommodation by far. Very clean second story flat with more than enough room for us. The place has lots of character and was fully equipped with everything we needed for a lengthy stay. Lots of beach toys and furniture included. Minutes walk to the beach and great shops all within the historic centre. Great value. Great communication from the host as well.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The location is great and the price is reasonable. We had a difficult stay at this location as the power was out the whole time. It was very hot, dark, and we were unable to charge our phones. The most frustrating part was that it took a couple days for the owner to take our concerns seriously. She kept referencing the electrical box, which we told her we knew how to flip the switch back and forth but that it was the whole street that was out of power. At one point she said “I cross the fingers” when I told her that the power off was a city problem and we had no idea when it would come back on. She did eventually refund the nights to us, which we appreciated, although we still paid the cleaning fee and taxes. It was a very stressful situation, but hopefully it was a one off and future guests won’t have problems. It does seem like the power in general is very touchy, so I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who is planning to work remotely. The house was not very clean, as the water kettle was extremely dirty (see attached). Overall we hope that this situation was not the norm and future guests have a better situation, but we did have to leave early and find alternative housing.

The most amazing stay in CefalùOur time in Cefalù was everything we hoped for and more, and so much of that is thanks to our host, Sabrina.Her hospitality was truly Sicilian in the best way — warm, generous, and personal from the very first message. She welcomed us like family coming to visit, not just guests checking in. We immediately felt at ease, and taken care of.The home itself was perfect. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and it had every amenity we actually needed (comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, great shower pressure, thoughtful little touches). It felt like a real home, not a rental.We left feeling like we got the whole experience — the beauty of Cefalù, but also the warmth of being welcomed into Sicilian life. We will absolutely be returning, and we can't recommend Sabrina's place highly enough.Thank you, Sabrina!

Location is excellent, right near the center, beach & shopping. The apartment is spacious but a bit outdated, but location makes up for it. Parking is very close. We loved the balcony! The shower could be improved but it did the job. Our host was great, as well her neighbor, Marella who checked us in. There were beach towels & an umbrella to use at the beach (along with beach toys for the kids) which was very convenient.

Location location!

First, being unfamiliar with Cefalu we had no idea we couldn't get our car near the apt. Then a short walk to the parking garage was like 15 mins in the immense heat where we had to pay 50 euros for 3 days parking. I just feel that many things weren't clearly explained. Even about the parking.. very confusing. The internet was awful. Even with a plan included for access everywhere. My phones worked everywhere except in this apt. For us that's misinformation. We can't be the only ones who experienced this. But the owner did try her best to help .. she was very helpful, even with the few problems. only ines to exp need to be explained more clearly

Cefalù stay

I rented an apartment in Cefalù via Vrbo for 5 weeks. the host was very responsive to all my messages but she was not local. When I entered the apartment it smelled like mildew, the place had not been aired out. The kitchen was dirty, greasy on the hood of the ancient stove. I washed all the dishes and utensils because they smelled and the handles of the cabinets were sticky. It was advertised as a three bedroom apartment but the third -so-called- bedroom was nothing but a small storage space. The main bathroom was okay but water pressure is very low. The second bathroom off the main bedroom is so old, you can barely see yourself in the mirror. I killed two cockroaches in that bathroom and there were also ants in the balcony of the kitchen. The place has great potential but needs a very major remodeling job. The host was very responsive to all my messages, unfortunately she’s not local and had to rely on the cleaning lady -with an attitude- for issues that came up. I would not rent this place anymore.
