Spacious and modern Villa within a 15 min drive of Cefalu and with a fantastic outdoor pool and BBQ area. Really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend for families or couples looking for somewhere quiet and a bit off the beaten track. Note there is a separate charge of EUR for cleaning which is payable in cash.

Cefalu break

Monica's villa is a great place for 4 adults to base themselves to enjoy the surrounding area. Pretty little Cefalu only a 10 minute drive away and bustling Palermo about an hour . The villa was well equipped and had the added benefit of a lovely pool and outside area plus a beach was only about 2 minutes walk from the place ! Would recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Monica. The house is cool and airy and well equipped with a central air conditioning system and most windows have very effective insect screens - infact, because of this, we could leave windows open for air flow and didn't need to use the air con much. The pool and outside areas were super for sun worshipping or relaxing in the shade and we loved being so close (a few minutes walk) from the quiet, unspoilt beach (We swam in the sea every day). A car is necessary as the nearest bakery, supermarkets, restaurants, though convenient, are a short drive away. Cefalu is easy to get to by car (about 15 minute drive) and is a busy vibrant town with shops, restaurants, cafes - we visited two or three times during our week's stay. It's worth getting up early to climb le roc for the fantastic views. Palermo is just a 50 minute train ride from Cefalu and trains run regularly, so it's an easy day trip. Our hosts were friendly, welcoming and easy to contact.

A pool of dreams!

Whilst the house needed some attention in terms of cleanliness and amenities, the garden and pool area more than made up for it. The pool is perfect, and we had a fantastic time in it. We had a few issues in the house (lost power) and a wasp nest in the garden, and the host was quick to offer help, even though they very recently had a baby! The house is within walking distance to a beautiful rocky beach which the kids loved. There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance so you do need a car to get anywhere. Beware, August is an extremely busy time in Cefalù, the beaches and car parks are super busy and it takes quite a while to drive into town. The beach near by the house is a hidden gem and therefore never busy! We loved our stay and hope to visit Sicily again in the future.

Disappointing Stay at Villa Monica

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share our experience. We booked Villa Monica expecting a peaceful and private getaway, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations.One of the biggest issues was that four gardeners arrived at 7am and stayed well into the afternoon, completely taking over the garden and pool area, making it impossible for us to use the outdoor space, which was one of reasons we chose this villa. When I raised the issue with Monica, she explained the work had been scheduled and couldn’t be changed, but there was no effort to make up for the disruption. I asked about a partial refund or a late checkout to make up for the inconvenience but neither was accommodated in a practical or helpful way. Then, on our last morning, the cleaner arrived at 7am to start cleaning the garden and stayed until we checked out — and again, we weren’t able to use the pool or outside area.On top of that, the villa itself was not very clean. It felt damp, and there was visible black mould in both the bedrooms and living room. I actually couldn’t sleep in either of the main bedrooms because it disturbed my asthma. The towels and sheets also didn’t feel fresh or properly cleaned.Overall, this stay felt far below the standard we were promised. We expected a private, comfortable space — not to be disrupted by workers and deal with cleanliness and health concerns. I wouldn’t recommend Villa Monica unless some serious improvements are made.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jun 2025
I was expecting your negative review, as you had warned me. The reason is clear regarding your unfair and blackmailing request to receive some money back. The issue with the gardeners who were present one morning to keep the garden tidy is not true as they were present in the early part of the morning. You raised the problem and we told you that you could use the pool area on the day of departure, which you still did not do. Your intent was to create a case for money. You forget the fact that to find the villa in order and clean, as we are used to, it requires a group of people to clean in the morning so that everything is ready by 14:00. I do not intend to respond to your other accusations as they are the result of not getting the money back with a blackmailing attitude. For the rest, the other customer reviews about Villa Monica are enough.

The villa was exactly as shown in the pictures, and the location was convenient, about 10–15 minutes from the center of Cefalù. We arrived a little earlier than expected, but our host kindly came to meet us with a smile and gave us a tour of the property.It would have been helpful to have a basic starter kit with essentials such as dish soap, dishcloths, garbage bags, and other small necessities.Unfortunately, our biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. The water was green upon our arrival. The owner or pool maintenance person came on our second day to clean it, but never returned. The water remained green throughout our stay, making the pool unusable. This was particularly disappointing, as having access to the pool was part of what we looked forward to during our vacation.Overall, the villa itself was as advertised, needs a little love, better attention to the pool’s maintenance and a few basic household essentials would have made our stay much more enjoyable.

Un lave vaisselle serait un plus et un set d’arrivée avec le strict nécessaire serait souhaitable.(liquide vaisselle, sac poubelle…). Attention à la poussière sur étagères et plinthes. Certains accessoires de cuisine ont du être relavés (saladier, casserole)Pour le reste tout est parfait : la piscine est magnifique et très agréable par ces fortes chaleurs. Climatisation dans toute la maison. plage 5 min à pieds superbe….

Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen in der Villa verbracht. Der Pool und Außenbereich mit den schönen Olivenbäumen ist ideal um die warmen Temperaturen zu genießen. Der Strand 5 Minuten entfernt ist trotz Hauptsaison wenig besucht und schön zum liegen/schwimmen und die Sonnenuntergänge sind Mega. Die Küche ist klein, aber ausreichend. Die Betten sehr bequem und dank der Klimaanlage sehr angenehm zu schlafen. Die Bäder waren ok, außer, dass der Abfluss verstopft war und die eine Brause immer tropfte , aber das lässt sich sicher beheben. Insgesamt können wir die Villa sehr empfehlen!

Toller, entspannter Aufenthalt

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Villa Monica sehr genossen. Alles war sauber, die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet, es gibt (fast) überall Fliegengitter an den Fenstern und es gibt eine Waschmaschine :-).Der Pool ist toll und hat den Kindern und uns Erwachsenen super gut gefallen. Der Garten ist entspannt.An den nächsten Strand geht man nur ca. 5 Minuten. Er ist sehr schön, aber es gibt dort keine Liegen oder Restaurants, dafür muss man ca. 30 Min. laufen.Cefalu ist mit dem Auto aber auch nicht weit weg, ca. 10 Min.Wir können das Haus und die Lage auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.

Belle maison proche de Cefalu

Propriétaire agréable et disponible.Pas de soucis pour la location, tout est très propre et fonctionnel et correspond aux photos. Belle piscine à débordement mais en Avril encore trop froide pour nager. Il y a une machine à café avec dosettes mais pas possible d'en trouver à Cefalu. La marque est : Segni d'Arte. Apparemment elles se vendent sur internet seulement. Dans la maison il y a beaucoup de prise électrique type L et nos prises de type E et F ne rentrent pas dedans. Des adaptateurs seront les bienvenus pour ne pas faire de casse ( Magasin chinois Via Roma 124 ). Voir https://particuliers.alpiq.fr/guide-energie/entretien-et-equipements/normes-types-prises-monde - Le chauffage fonctionne bien. Nous avons visité Palerme et nous y sommes allé en train et je le recommande 45 min. Visiter Messine en train est aussi possible 2H. La literie est agréable. Matériel en cuisine largement suffisant. Internet a un débit correct 20Mbits lors de notre séjour. Le petit plus dans la maison serait un lave-vaiselle mais ou le mettre ???

Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen, das Haus ist sauber und die Lage am Meer sehr schön. Ohne Auto ist dieses Objekt jedoch nicht zu erreichen, für uns nicht schlimm, da wir mit dem Auto angereist sind. Einziges Manko, aus den Duschen läuft ständig das Wasser heraus, da diese undicht sind. Insgesamt können wir das Ferienhaus nur empfehlen!

Traumurlaub im September

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Woche und vor allem im wunderbaren Garten der Villa Monica! Über den Pool ist bereits alles gesagt worden: Ein Traum für Vielschwimmer wie wir! ( Danke auch dafür ihn so zu bauen, dass so viele der uralten Olivenbäume auf dem gesamten Grundstück erhalten blieben ). Ergänzend zum Baulärm können wir nur sagen: Das Haus nebenan ist fertig - also absolute Ruhe! Der Busverkehr zum Hotel hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört ( allerdings hat uns die Häufigkeit des Rettungswageneinsatzes zum besagten Hotel zu denken und eher Rätsel aufgegeben )… Im Haus gibt es nun Mückengitter an Fenster und Gartentür ( im Badezimmer wäre auch noch super 😉), was aber die Mücken sowieso nicht davon abgehalten hat uns draußen zu verspeisen ( also am besten wieder in den Pool springen) 🙃 Es ist aber sooo erholsam die kleinen Plagegeister nicht nachts im Schlafzimmer um die Ohren zu haben - also danke dafür! Wir hatten jedenfalls alles was wir brauchten ( die vielen Handtücher waren toll und auch in der Küche hat es uns an nichts gefehlt ), um eine herrliche Urlaubszeit zu verbringen ( inclusive der intensiven liebevollen Rundumbetreuung durch den kleinen schwarzen Kater, der sehr wohlerzogen brav draußen vor der Türe sitzen blieb ) 🐈‍⬛❤️
