We are experienced travelers and have stayed in properties in many places around Europe, Australia, and the US. Our host and proprietor, Rosa Maria, was exceptional, attending to every detail and always helpful and available. Rosa Maria provides breakfast with homemade, locally sourced items from Cefalù and the region. The rooms are quiet, with lovely touches inside and throughout the property. Thank you, Rosa Maria and Lirma B&B, for an extraordinary visit to Cefalù.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lirma. The family that runs this quaint B & B are hospitable and kind. Provided us with lots of tips for the area and breakfast in the morning featured homemade offerings that made the stay feel warm and welcoming.

Don’t have enough words to describe the most warming and well taking care hospitality of the couple/owners of Irma BB. We have enjoyed a daily homemade pastry and breakfast. Was there to answer every question. Spotless clean to perfection! Enjoyed our stay in the beautiful garden as well. Great location! Hope to be back one day

Cefalu is delightful. The cathedral is a world class sight and the rocca above well worth the climb. Travellers might like to note that the town is much more expensive than other parts of Sicily. The Lirma is very well situated. The rooms are beautifully presented. The hosts are very attentive.

Loved Lirma B & B
I love this place. The staff are wonderful and the setting is perfect. Also, the breakfast spread was unreal. The B & B is 1 block from the beach, right near the city center and close to train station. I would highly recommend this place the next time you are in Cefalu.

Excellent and exactly what we hoped for
A great b & b which is perfectly located and was exactly what we had hoped for. Prompt and relevant e-mail communication right from the start, lovely hosts and staff, comfy room and such a wonderful, high quality breakfast. Hard to see how this b and b could not please. Highly recommended and cannot fault.

Very noisy road, very smelly room
The breakfast was outstanding and the staff were nice...but the room stunk horribly of sewer and the B&B sits on the corner of two busy roads and so is quite noisy, I would not stay here again and feel cheated because it was noisy and stinky, 👎👎

Response from Lirma B&B on 11 Dec 2019
Our B&B is conveniently located 50 m from the beach and 100 m from the historic center , however it is possible to reach it by car and park , like our guests did , a few steps from the rooms. Cefalù is a small town by the sea in Sicily , with the vitality , the movement , the sound , the noise , sometimes the hustle and bustle , typically mediterranean , above all in summer . Thinking of staying in a convenient location like ours enjoying the silence of the countryside at the same time is really unthinkable . Unfortunately our guests' stay coincided with some necessary and urgent works of cleaning service in the municipal sewer network which passes through the adjacent street . We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience which is not , however , attributable to us .

Super Find!
Great experience at this B&B. The owner is super present, friendly, helpful and engaging. She made parking a breeze, and answered every question about local beach facilities, dining, etc. The property is located super conveniently to the beach and all of the action in Cefalu. Breakfast was superb and home-cooked by the owner's Sicilian mom. The beds were small and not the best, but otherwise, everything was great for the price. The owner is a true professional, but also over-the-top friendly and helpful. Definitely go here when in Cefalu.

It was a lovely place. Perfectly located. The owner was very helpful and they were very flexible with our earlier arrival time.

Probably best ever breakfast there is a partial photo uploaded. Ana their new assistant was charming and very helpful. We would def use this place again.

This place was AWESOME! The owners couldn't have been nicer! And "Nona" prepared the buffet each morning. Wow!! It was incredible food, and so much of it! This bed & breakfast was so conveniently located - around the corner from the beach area and restaurants. It was a GREAT place to stay!

Sicilian charm steps from the beach!
The room was fantastic with its own private entrance which gave us the freedom of a hotel room but we got all the benefits of a B&B. The proximity to historic Cefalu was a cherry on top. It was great to just be able to wander to the beach and the shops and restaurants and sightsee but stop back in the room to change or even just relax for a few before TJ next adventure. Five stars!

Visiting parts of Sicily for the first time. Needed a place for one night and found this charming B&B. Besides being friendly and helpful, the rooms were outstanding. The breakfast was phenomenal. I especially liked the zucchini and cinnamon jam.

Great Family Run B&B in Cefalù
Lirma B&B is a fantastic family run accommodation option in Cefalù. From the welcoming Limoncello, to the restaurant recommendations and the extensive breakfast spread cooked by Nona, we couldn’t have wanted more.

. This B&B was situated in a delightful area....one block from the beach and two blocks from the centro of town. The room was comfortable with a door opening out into a beautiful garden. Breakfast was a feast. Rose Maria and her mother made sure that your needs were met in all ways. Bellissimo!!!!

We had a lovely stay here. The location is perfect and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful with lots of variety. The only issue we had was the air conditioner in our room which did not seem to work. Otherwise, we highly recommend this place.

thank you so much for your review . the air conditioner remote has many switches (heat , cool , refresh , sleep ecc...) so, it is necessary to put it in the correct position .

wonderful B&B
My friend and I stayed at this hotel for a one night visit to Cefalu. The family that runs the place is incredibly friendly, and we were greeted with homemade limoncello, cookies, and a map and recommendations for the town. The room was darling and clean, and had recently been updated. The breakfast was one of the best I've had in Italy - all homemade by the mother. The location was ideal, just a short one block walk to the beach and a couple blocks into the main part of town. I would definitely stay here again.

Well located, great service, beautiful surrounds
A very quiet, family run private house/hotel with a beautiful private garden. Just two blocks from the beach and handy to everything. Parking could be a problem, but there is some at the hotel and possibly some on the street. Just a great stay; couldn't ask for more. The family welcome guests and make you feel right at home. Superb "local" breakfast.
