Villa Respiro is a charming holiday home located just a short drive from Cefalù, famous for its picturesque medieval center, excellent restaurants, shops, and long sandy beach. Accommodating up to 8 guests, the villa comprises an elegant stone main building and two wooden-clad annexes. One annex features a double bedroom, while the other offers two double bedrooms, all with stunning views of the sea and mountains.



The main stone villa includes a well-equipped kitchen and a dining area designed for 6 people. Although the property can host up to 8 guests, we recommend renting it to a maximum of 4 guests during the low season (from April to May 4th, and throughout October) as the indoor space may feel less comfortable for larger groups during cooler months.



The villa's modern yet relaxed style features whitewashed wooden beams and neutral tones, providing a serene setting for simple, contemporary furnishings—perfect for a laid-back holiday in the sun. Designed for outdoor living, Villa Respiro boasts an outdoor kitchen, a spacious covered terrace with a dining table, and a private lawned garden. With a refreshing pool and breathtaking surroundings, this villa is the ideal retreat for a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful summerhouse

We enjoyed six days in Villa Respiro. The house have three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The outside area is amazing, a pool with view, sun beds, outdoor kitchen, lounge area and eating area. We rented a car and vistited Cefalu, Pollina and Castelbuono. Sant’Amrogio, a small village nearby has a supermarket and restaurant. The beaches are only a 10 min drive away. Stefano was a great host and helped us with everything we needed.
