Cefalù cottages

If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday surrounded by nature, La Gisamia is the perfect place to stay. Each of Ferdinando and Anne's cottages have their own private space away from the other buildings, so there is no danger of being disturbed. Although Ferdinando was away when we visited, he was still the perfect host: helpful, reliable, relaxed, personable and excellent at communicating. We understood his English perfectly. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had via WhatsApp / email and sent us clear directions on how to get to the property. He advised us where we could buy food locally or eat out if we wished. Ferdinando also recommended hikes and places of interest based on his understanding of our own interests and hobbies (in our case history and walking). Ferdinando's property manager, Massimo, was friendly, helpful and welcoming when we arrived and made sure that we had everything we needed, including internet (if required) for a small fee. The House of the Pear Tree contained both a heater and a wood stove. There was plenty of wood available, so we were comfortable and warm during the cold nights. The kitchen was adequately equipped and there was plenty of space for clothing in the bedroom drawers, as well as a clothes rail and shoe rack. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return for another holiday at a future date.
