The apt is adorable, no steps,the balcony has an amazing view, can see sunrises, listen to and watch the ocean hitting the rocks. The restaurant you see from terrace is a must try, delicious quality food, everything walkable, from train however is a long walk uphill and in the heat was murder, if you're young its fine if older or not best shape consider a cab. Shower is very small, big man or anyone over 200 tight squeeze. Last 2 comments not complaints just FYI. The place was great would definitely stay again.

Best View in Cefalu

Fabulous small apartment with one of the best views in Cefalu. Right off the main drag for easy access, but off on a small side street, so mostly, we just heard the seagulls. Also, we had the amazing view without having to climb any stairs. Highly recommended for a couple or solo.

Wonderful seaside stay

The apartment is exactly as the photos depict, so very lovely! I had a wonderful stay and the apartment is very well equipped. The bed is comfortable and the apartment is very clean. It is on a very well lite street close to absolutely everything. Pina is a wonderful host and communication with very quick. The beach is wonderful to walk either on the board walk or in the water. The Deco grocery store is fabulous in town and steps away is the restaurant Nna Principi which has wonderful pizza!

Great location! Can't beat the view!

We enjoyed our stay at Giuseppa's apartment. It was the perfect location for accessing everything in Cefalu and Giuseppa was a terrific hostess - kind, responsive and the wine and biscotti were greatly appreciated when we arrived after along day of travel. Would definitely stay again. We left the windows open so we woke up to the ocean view everyday. Molto bene! Grazie! Alla prossima!

Stunning location

Giuseppa’s apartment is in a fabulous location: a small quite lane yet very close to the shops and restaurants in the old town and only a few minutes walk down Via Roma to the main beach. The balcony sitting above the rocks and just meters to the blue sea is the highlight. Picturesque, peaceful and lovely cool breezes in summer. The apartment is very comfortable and well set up, all you need if you wish to cook your own meals. Giuseppa is communicative and always available to answer any questions. Her place is highly recommended and good value.

Wonderful apartment

I stayed for 11 nights. I’ve been solo traveling through Italy and this was my last location in the country. I couldn’t have chosen better! The photos don’t do it justice. And the location is perfect. It’s a 15 minute mostly flat walk from the train station. The sea view from the balcony is otherworldly. The beach to swim is a 5 minute walk away and everything is easy to get to. The bed was comfortable, the washer was easy to use. The shower had great pressure and temperature. I would love to stay here again and Cefalu is one of the most beautiful towns I’ve ever been in. Thank you for sharing this apartment Giuseppa, it was absolutely lovely!

A perfect place to stay in Cefalu

We have stayed in this rental before and continue to love it. This apartment is great for a couple looking for a quiet and simple place to stay, in the heart of the city center yet surprisingly tucked away and peaceful. The best feature is the wonderful balcony off the bedroom, which is a perfect place to enjoy a nice snack and drink as you take in the view and listen to the waves crash on the rocks below. On clear days you can see the Aeolian Islands, and every sunrise and sunset is beautiful. Can't say enough great things about the location, it's in close proximity to the cathedral, restaurants, shopping, La Rocca, and a short walk down to the main beach area as well. The owner is kind, responsive, and accommodating. She has been a pleasure to get to know over the years. Cefalu is our favorite place in the world to vacation, and this apartment has been a lovely home away from home for each visit. We highly recommend it! We plan on returning again next year.

Der schönste Ort

Wir waren schon das zweite Mal hier und eigentlich müsste man sagen, dass die Bilder der Wohnung nicht gerecht werden: denn es ist noch viel schöner! Der Blick auf das Meer, wenn man morgens aufsteht, ist einfach wunderschön. Wir haben oft abends zusammen gesessen und den Sonnenuntergang genossen. Solche Plätze, kaum über den Wellen, bekommt man nur wenige in Cefalu. Außerdem konnten wir wieder viel und gut kochen, denn die Küche ist geräumig und sehr gut ausgestattet. Zuletzt ist auch die Lage einfach perfekt: nur eine Seitenstraße von der großen Hauptstraße entfernt: Absolute Ruhe, aber absolut zentral. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Lovely apartment with stunning views of sea and rocks.

The view from the little terrace is gorgeous. The apartment has everything you need and is 1 minute from shops and restaurants in the historic centre but down a quiet alley. Parking is tricky and confusing but it seems you can park in the marina, about 10 min walk away. Giuseppe was very helpful with the bags giving us a lift back from the marina. We had a wonderful time here.
