We had the most amazing time staying at Francesco’s home! Not only was the view spectacular, the villa felt like a true Sicilian home away from home. Francesco was an excellent host, so warm and welcoming - we would love to come back one day!

We are a family of 5 including (12 years, 16 years and 19 years). This villa offered excellent spaces for everyone, large shady areas, a beautiful and amazing view and a lovely pool and area. The hosts were brilliant… very hospitable, welcoming and responsive throughout our stay. The meet up in Cefalu to guide us to the property was so helpful after a long journey and made the check-in stress free.

Francesco personally greeted us at his beautiful home and explained how everything worked. He also got some basic groceries for us to make it convenient for our first morning there. He set things up specially for the 18 month old baby traveling with us. One day when I was ill he offered to take me to a doctor or get medicine for me. He is a kind and generous host. The home is very comfortable and has everything you need for a most enjoyable stay.

This place was absolutely wonderful! It has the perfect picturesque look of a house tucked in the Sicilian hillside but with all the amenities needed to keep you cozy and comfortable. The outside view is also stunning. We bought fruits, cheeses, wine and prosecco in town and then had a wonderful dining experience at the house with the family overlooking the sea. My teenage daughters loved all of it. And the biggest bonus? The host, Francesco, is wonderful. He helped us every step of the way and made us feel like family. We’ll definitely be back.

A Gem in Cefalù: Our Stay at Francesco’s Haven

Our stay at Francesco's house in Cefalù was a highlight of our travels. As a host, Francesco was phenomenal, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us our privacy. His house offered a quaint and cozy retreat, complete with the comforts of home yet a distinctly Sicilian charm.What made our experience unforgettable was the house's stunning view—unparalleled vistas of the sea that framed our mornings and evenings with natural splendor. The house, a perfect embodiment of coziness and beauty, paired with Francesco's hospitality, made our visit to Cefalù truly magnificent. This is not just a place to stay; it's a venue to experience the best of Sicily.

Far from the madding crowd

An absolute gem of a place. Well equipped property, inside and out. Owners (Francesco and Marianna) are deservedly proud of this quaint property and gardens. Swimming pool and patio immaculate. Indoor and outdoor shower rooms. Car needed as location is 3.6 miles from Cefalu town centre. Highly recommended and Francesco, provided the warmest welcome, a fabulous bottle of local wine, and took us on a personal tour of Palermo. His hospitality was beyond our expectation. Would also recommend the supermarket Gourmet Deco Cefalu - Waitrose on steroids!

Beautiful Hilltop Villa With Amazing Views

We were a party of 6 including my wife and I, our three adult kids, and my mother. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful stone house perched over the town and coast of Cefalu. Francesco could not have been more gracious and responsive. He arranged for a chef who cooked us a lovely seafood dinner, he made recommendations and responded immediately to any questions. The property and gardens are amazing. But we were also quite content to stay in the house during a heavy rain day. The road that approaches the house is quite steep and a little tricky. We highly recommend this location.

Amazing

Stop looking and just book this. Beautiful, comfortable Italian farmhouse. Wonderful stone walls and beams inside. Comfortable, quality furnishings. Many beautiful antiques. Waist-deep pool. Amazing outdoor spaces & living with plenty of shade or sun to enjoy the beautiful view. Beautiful landscape and gardens. Everything you could possibly need. So peaceful and quiet yet only 10 minutes to town, good restaurants, lots of activities. Owner is amazing, kind, so helpful. Stocked us with groceries for our first evening and morning since we were getting in late. He would have done more had we asked. Like having our own Italian home. We absolutely loved it!

This is the perfect place and you would be so fortunate to spend some time at this beautiful oasis. We were looking for the best spot to enjoy a week with our mom for her first trip to Italy, so it had to be special. Not only is the home full of charm with a gorgeous view of the ocean, the shaded patio and perfectly sized pool tempted us to extend our stay. The best part of all was our host, Francesco. He made us feel like part of the family and offered great suggestions for what to enjoy in beautiful Cefalu. I would absolutely recommend this special place without any hesitation. We made memories to last a lifetime here and cannot wait to return. Stop searching and book this property, just not when we plan to add it to our calendar!

Fabulous!

We throughly enjoyed our stay in Sicily and would highly recommend staying here. The villa itself is wonderfully rustic and authentic and is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! A real home from home. Francesco is a fantastic host who greeted us with a warm welcome and was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Cefalu was beautiful and we also spent a lovely evening in nearby pituresque Castelbuono (an excellent recommendation by Francesco). We also enjoyed exploring other parts of the island (a car is a must) and the fantastic nearby beaches and the villa was always a welcome sight to return to. We fell in love with Sicily and wouldn't hesitate to stay again! Karl, Mel and family.
