Om boendet

Njut av havsutsikt medan du bor under Cefalus spektakulära klippa!

Om du behöver billiga flyg från Nordamerika eller andra delar av Europa till Sicilien innan du bokar, vänligen fråga mig.(Ja, du kan flyga direkt från USA till Sicilien ibland!) Jag har hittat bra erbjudanden på mina egna resor till Sicilien under de senaste tio åren, och jag skulle gärna dela min expertis med dig. Jag kanske känner till vissa flygplatser, flygbolag, rutter och specialerbjudanden som inte dyker upp på de stora seachmotorerna.

Också om du är intresserad av en längre vistelse under de kallare månaderna (jan, februari, början av mars, november, december) låt oss prata och se om vi kan ordna dig att stanna vid denna tystare tid på året i Cefalu , när du kan känna dig tuff och varm inne i huset medan du tittar på ett ständigt föränderligt hav, ibland rasande och andra gånger helt lugnt och fullt av fiskebåtar.

VÄLKOMMEN TILL CASA DEL FARO! Detta vackra hem är unikt beläget tvärs över gatan från en stenig Medelhavsstrand och har en brant trädgård på 80 kvadratmeter (800 kvadratmeter) som leder till en 200 m (700 fot) massiv klippa. Det är ett av flera radhus som ristades ur en omstrukturerad stenspagettifabrik 2005.

Huset har en total yta på 60 kvadratmeter, jämnt fördelat mellan två våningar. Nedervåningen kommer du att njuta av ett enda stort rum med två soffor, TV och DVD-spelare, soffbord, matbord med sex stolar, och fullt utrustat kök med handmålade brickor från Caltigirone, tillsammans med ett halvt badkar. Gillar du antikviteter? Tja, i december 2010 tog vi just in tre matchande delar av vardagsrumsmöbler tillverkade på 1890-talet i Palermo av fabriken Dacrot, inklusive två matchande ändstolar och ett lampbord med marmor-toppad. Det stora vardagsrumsfönstret vetter direkt mot Medelhavet, medan bakdörren vetter mot den berömda klippan Cefalu. På övervåningen kan du också njuta av att vakna upp till brasande surf och en fri utsikt över Medelhavet från sovrummet, med stor dubbelsäng, armoire och byrå, dekorerad med nautiska motiv. Njut av samlingen av härliga handmålade, traditionella sicilianska keramik från den närliggande staden Santo Stefano! Det finns också ett junior sovrum dekorerat med sicilianska dockor, med två enkelsängar, armoire och utsikt över klippan. Det kompletta badrummet har dusch, toalett, bidé och handfat.

Utanför har CASA DEL FARO två vackra områden för din middag. Omedelbart utanför huset finns ett utekök med gasgrill, diskbänk och maträknare. Hjälp dig själv med färska örter du kanske växer där! Det finns ett picknickbord med sex stolar och parasoller här, och det är ett utmärkt ställe att njuta av en sommarfrukost. Längre uppför kullen i trädgården kan du njuta av att äta middag under lusthuset på det vackra handgjorda bordet av svart siciliansk vulkansten, dekorerad med en emaljytor målad med en fruktfantasi. Härifrån kan du titta ut över toppen av det rödkaklade taket mot det historiska centrum av Cefalu eller utåt mot de eoliska öarna, en vulkanisk skärgård som är lättast synlig under vintermånaderna.

Flera typer av strandupplevelser finns tillgängliga. Rakt tvärs över gatan från CASA DEL FARO finns en trappa som leder ner till en stenig strand, som är ett bra ställe att sola bort från de galna folkmassorna även på sommaren. Det är OK att simma när havet är lugnt. Jag föredrar personligen att gå en halv kilometer (tredjedel av en mil) till staden till Gamla hamnen, där det finns en liten gratis offentlig strand bakom en brygga, där vattnet alltid är lugnt. Utöver denna punkt ligger en mängd privata stränder, där du betalar för att hyra din stol och paraply. Strandsäsongen varar ungefär från april till och med den första veckan i november.

Förutom bra restauranger erbjuder Cefalu fantastiska möjligheter för dig som vill laga mat på egen hand. Du kan njuta av ett kafé och vinbutik i samma byggnadskomplex som CASA DEL FARO eller så kan du gå 200 meter till staden för att tillgodose de flesta av dina kulinariska behov.

CASA DEL FARO ligger 15 minuters promenad från tågstationen, med ofta förbindelser till Palermo. På sommaren går flera färjor om dagen från hamnen i Cefalu (bara 200 meter från huset) till Palermo och Eoliska öarna. Parkering finns alltid tillgängligt vid den nya hamnen, men på många sätt är det lättare att njuta av Cefalu utan bil, eftersom gatorna i medeltida kvarter är ganska smala och tenderar att ha tung fotgängstrafik. Ingen parkering finns direkt framför huset. I stan kan du hitta många byråer som gärna organiserar turer till Agrigento, Etna-berget, Monreale och de flesta andra intressanta platser på Sicilien. Glöm inte att besöka Cefalus vackra katedral från det tolfte århundradet med dess berömda bysantinska mosaiker och den vackra Osterio Magno med sitt arabiska arkitektoniska inflytande!

VÄNLIGEN NOTERA! Detta hus är inte lämpligt för personer som har problem med klättrande trappor, men det bör inte ge några problem för någon med normal hälsa.

Great location

Lovely cottage in a great location. The property in accessed via stairs and a short walk at the back. Close enough to the beautiful old town, shops, bars and a beautiful but busy beach so get up early for a swim.

Perfect Cefalu Location

Ideal location just outside the old town and away from the hubbub of the new, this house was perfect for our needs. Good communication for check-in. Well equipped. Loved the rocky area opposite. Good value. We would happily book again if visiting Cefalu.

Beautiful little place to enjoy cefalu

We had a great stay. The location of the acommodation is perfect: you can reach the old town of cefalu within 5 minutes, but you also have a relatively quiet place to relax. The place could use a little bit love, but it’s very handsome an as two persons, we had a very nice time and would recommend and come back. A car is helpful, since the next supermarket is a 20 minute walk (and you will need some water). Quick and easy communications with the team. Another tip: visit the caldura beach. It‘s way more relaxed than the beach at cefalu center and just a 20 minute walk from the apartment.

Was a very nice apartment well equipped clean and everything you could wish for away from home.

We had two weeks here and it was just fabulous the owner even phoned to see if every thing was okay nice touch. The apartment is ideally located not far from the old town with its shops and plentiful resteraunts and the most delicious ice cream ever however there are three resteraunts just over the road from the apartment so you don’t have to go far if you don’t want to. The beach is not far away a nice walk through the cobbled street but watch out for the traffic. My only down side to the apartment was that it says top terrace with sea views which is right but you could not eat up there as the steps are too steep to Carry any food up and I think it’s been a while since it’s been used . Would still give it 5 stars

Extreme disappointment.

We family of four were looking forward to our stay at Mark's place but we were not able to do so. Mark's apartment was our second stop on our Southern Italy touring holiday and we had driven there from London. When we had booked all three properties, them being in: Napoli, Sicily and Bari for this holiday, we had been assured that there is free parking available for our large VW at every property, with this facility being listed on each of the three Home Away adverts. When we have arrived to stay at Mark's place we were greeted by Mark's neighbour and she informed us that there is nowhere to park and we should contact Mark directly to try to solve this issue. Mark lives in US and the phone call I had to make was very expensive and did not resolve anything and he told us that there is no parking with this property and we should find parking at the near-by marina. Cefalu is a very busy town with most parking for residents only, therefore we could not find any parking. I called Mark again about the parking situation, but he had no answer. As the night was approaching we were desperate to find a roof over our heads with parking for our van and we decided that there is no other option but to abandon Mark's place and find a hotel. Next day I contacted Home Away and they agreed with us that Mark had misrepresented advertising his property and he should refund our money. Our stay in Sicily cost us an extra 700 euro and Mark has not refunded our payment.

Cottage on the sea :)

The cottage is in a great location - across the road from a set of steps leading directly to the sea. We swam there every day apart from one when the waves were a little choppy. There are 3 restaurants next to the property- each one has lovely food and great service. Only a 5-10 min into the town with lots of shops, restaurants and lido beaches. Mark was a pleasure to deal with. His communications were always prompt and thorough - and he even called me directly to answer a query I had whilst in the property. The rental company that look after checkin were also great to communicate with. Overall a fantastic property, in a great place.

Nice apartment on the outskirts of the old town, overlooking the water. Clean and comfy.

Apartment is clean, comfortable and well appointed. There are a few flights of stairs up/down to access the apartment so not suitable for people with mobility issues, however fine for the able bodied. The apartment is a short stroll from the centre. It was nice to be a short distance away from the crowds, but an easy walk back to the lovely town centre and beach. There are a few nice restaurants directly across the road so not essential to head back to town. We got lost trying to locate the apartment (dud GPS took us to pedestrian only street) and Sergio the property manager very helpfully sent a colleague to escort us to the property.

Early June in Cefalu

According to locals first week in Spring, but plenty hot for us northerners. Pleasant and rustic accommodation. Great location for exploring Cefalù but walking required to meet up with coach for trips elsewhere. Parking not as near as expected and uphill home.

A great spot for a relaxing few days

We were three friends travelling together and Mark’s house was perfect for us. Driving from Taormina we were welcomed by Sergio who was so helpful during our stay. We found parking in the nearby marina although we then didn’t move the car for three days. Cars are not needed in Cefalù so unless you really have to I would advise not driving. The house is in a perfect location just outside the old town, comfortable and well equipped with outside space. Only suggestion would be to have a few basics - olive oil, salt and pepper etc available for guests as it would have encouraged us to use the kitchen more! That said there are great options for eating out in Cefalù, some just outside the house. We would definitely recommend the climb up La Rocca which looms over the town - the view is extraordinary - and we loved the small beach in the old fishing port.

Enchanted April (May) 2019

We rented this townhouse for a full month in the spring. This property has my unconditional approval! Great location, comfortable, great views! great restaurants just below you! Good management, thorough communications, very informative. I’d buy this property if Mr Meeks would be interested in selling!!! Did I mention what a wonderful town Cefalu is, to live in and explore? Only constructive criticism I might offer, move the beautiful hand panted table from the hill, onto the back patio....(store the trash containers against the dividing fence, in lieu of counters). Thanks so much for sharing this magical place! Ciao!

Lovely small house overlooking the sea

A lovely stay in a small house overlooking the sea, five minutes from the medieval streets of Cefalu and above a small fishing port. Beautifully appointed, warm and friendly. Well situated for train journeys to Palermo, San Stefano and other coastal towns; or by car for the wonderful steep roads, hidden valleys and remote towns of the Madonie.

A Quiet, Peaceful Time to Visit Cefalu

We had a great time staying in Cefalu during the low season, when there was plenty of parking and the local people had more time to interact with us and be even more hospitable. Almost every night we could watch the fisherman at work from our front windows. They seemed to be fishing for squid, and we were able to buy fresh fish directly from fishermen who sold their catch fresh from little wheelbarrows on the main street in town. The heating in the house worked great and the decor was charming.

Lovely house with a great view

The house is within easy walking to the old town. The beds are comfortable and you have a great sea view. The house is as advertised Being just outside the old town makes for quiet nights. We took a bus trip to Castlebuono which was the highlight of our stay. Cefalu is also an easy train trip into Palermo.

Let the waves lull you to a restful sleep!

What a lovely and comfortable home away from home. This home has everything you would need for a restful vacation. It comfortably accomodated our party of 3 adults and 1 child and we were never crowded or lacked our space. Television is in Italian (as would be expected) and there is a DVD player, so you can bring your favorite movies. Cooking facilities were more than adequate and the table is wonderful for having family dinners while looking out to the sea. (The flowers, and basil, in the window boxes added to the overall comfort) Out back are two spaces, one right outside with table, chairs and umbrella to shield you from Sicilian sun. Up the stairs out back is an outstanding location for dining on a lava rock table, hand painted, and while dining you have 180 degree view of the sea.There is gated access, two restaurants downstairs and an art gallery for browsing. Tip: Go to the right as you exit for amazing views. On Saturdays, go further that way and uphill for an outdoor market where you can buy fresh vegetables, salted cod, and cheese made by the man who sells it to you! I love Cefalu', it's relaxing and these accomodations give the feeling that you're a "local".

WONDERFUL STAY AT CASA DEL FARO

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this quaint and charming two bedroom townhome in Cefalu italy ( SICILY )The master bedroom boasted a pamoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea across the street. Our two sons, ages 11 and 8, slept in the twin beds in the second bedroom. We loved strolling to downtown Cefalu which was a 10 minute walk and our boys had a great time exploring the sea shore across the street. Boys being boys, we left them on their own as they brought back rocks and sea shells. We parked our rental car for free at a near by Marina, as it is impossible to find parking in high season in downtown Cefalu. Completely restored to modern standards, the house has adequate Air conditioning, internet and intersting artworks and antiques .We thoroughly enjoyed cooking at home . The kitchen was well equipped with many pots and pans,cooking utensils, glassware etc It is obvious that the American owner loves to cook and entertain when he is using this lovely Italian get away... The BBQ area outside is like an outdoor kitchen and we ate under the grapevines with a view of the Mediterreanean Sea. Cefalu has some great restaurants. We liked LA BRACCE located downtown the best. The owner was easy to contact by e mail and called us on the landline to welcome us and to make sure that everything was in order. We were happy to deal with a native speaker of English who accepted the payment in dollars! The Italian staff who helps out is most hospitable and available if a need arises. We would recommend this vacation home to couples and small families. Four people is ideal.

wonderful Thanksgiving in Cefalu

My husband and I celebrated Thanksgiving at the townhome. This was our first time in Sicily and we truly enjoyed our week in Cefalu. The kitchen is very clean and well equiped - we were able to fix meals there with no problems, including Thanksgiving with the traditional turkey, potatoes, dressing and home made pumpkin pie. Having the restaurant, Bar del Faro, so close was quite convenient for those times we didn't want to cook. The townhome accurately met the description, the location, and the posted photos, no surprises there. We would recommend staying here to family and friends, especially if we could come along for a second visit here with them. The Capella Normana and the church at Monreale were spectacular- have never seen such beautiful mosaics in such abundance. Would recommend both along with the cathedral in Cefalu altough its mosaics are not as impressive. The market in Palermo was also interesting to see. We took the bus to Castelbuono 1 day and enjoyed the trip up and back winding through the mountains and wandering around the town. The bus left from the train station. The trains to and from Palermo were reliable both times and we only had a 10 minute delay one of the mornings.

Perfect Location in Gorgeous Cefalu

My husband & I enjoyed a very nice stay at this townhouse. The accommodation was very clean & provided us with everything we needed. There are two floors to the rental with a narrow stairwell to consider if you have young children or have difficulty with stairs. Also, there is a street that runs along the front of the building and you do hear the cars & scooters in the mornings & early evenings. I am a light sleeper but used earplugs & I slept well. The walk into the main town is not far at all & provides you with beautiful views of the sea. We were able to park our car for free at the recommended nearby harbor and never had a problem. Cefalu really is a beautiful city, and the townhouse is well located to explore Cefalu & the nearby towns. I would readily recommend this townhouse.

A Warm Trinacria Welcome!

Casa del Faro is located in a pretty spot & a quick walk into the heart of Cefalu. The US based owner was very responsive to all questions & we knew he was readily available via email. It's great having internet access in the apartment. Our group of 4 was in the apartment for a week. The first night we ate downstairs at "La Trinacria" (which is the name of Sicily's 3-legged symbol), owned by Salvatore. By the end of the evening, we had met his buddies, and he has taken us under his wing, as if we were part of an extended family. We ended up having several more meals there, and at least cappuccino, if nothing else. Salvatore and his family are delightful people. We also very much enjoyed his friend, Nicola's restaurant, "Kentia", an easy walk. "Le Chat Noir" had a pasta dish, which was one of the best we had during our three weeks in Italy. Mussels were excellent everywhere. Since we had a car, we were able to take side trips. Our longest day trip was to Agrigento, to the Valley of the Temples. Definitely worth it, however, we would recommend staying a few days on the east/south side of Sicily and doing those sights from a home base on that end, rather than making the drive from Cefalu. The roads are windy, and it's a long day. Don't plan on finding lunch in the small villages along the way; everything closes up during "siesta". Taking the train to Palermo for the day was hassle-free. Buy a good, detailed map of Palermo when you get off, at the train station. You will be glad you paid the 5 Euro. The small maps in tourist books are not adequate, if you are adventurous. Palermo was not "scary", as it is portrayed by some. It's chaotic, busy, fast-paced, interesting. We are experienced travelers so we were fine with it. You have to be good at dodging Vespas and cars. Sometimes you have a sidewalk, and then you don't. Be sure to visit the outdoor market -- a feast for the senses! The catacombs are bizarrely fascinating. Take the car into the hills & visit Sant' Gibilmana & Castelbuono. A matter of taste, but we found the ceramic shop in Cefalu (on Corso Ruggero) to have finer quality than the ceramic factories in S. Stefano. We'd planned to some prepare meals in the apartment; this wasn't as practical as we had hoped. The kitchen is tiny. One shower & the smaller second bedroom make it "tight" for 4 adults. It's fine, just know it's not spacious. We'd recommend it to friends who are in good physical shape, & who enjoy a "local" feel.

8/10 Bra

Under the Rock

We recently stayed at this apartment for 4 nights. The listing description was accurate and it is a great location (within easy walking distance to town) and the photos do reflect the actual place. It was clean and well equipped and the owner was very thorough with directions, instructions etc. The only improvement we would recommend is to have more counter space, perhaps by putting the microwave under a cabinet. We ate at;one of the restaurants below (the one run by the store below) and it was excellent. The store has just about everything you would need. I would definitely recommend this property. Thanks Mark.

My name is Mark Meeks. I bought this Sicilian house and came here for summers and other vacation periods when I taught high school in San Francisco. Now I've retired and enjoy spending even more time in Cefalu.

Varför värden valde detta boende

I fell in love with Cefalu on my first visit to the town in 2005. At that time, Casa del Faro was being renovated after decades of neglect. It was such a unique site, right between the Mediterranean and the cliff and so close to a gorgeous historical town, that I couldn't wait to sign the contract and get my name on the property register! Owning my own Italian home has been one of the best experiences in my life, and I'm thrilled to share the house with visitors!

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Help yourself to vegetables, herbs, or fruit growing in the backyard! Right in the same complex are two wonderful places to dine: La Trinacria, which is a year-round restaurant with a delicatessen, and Faro, which serves lighter fare. Before heading to the grocery store ask about the location of the Saturday open-air market up the hill, It's a great place to get quality produce, meats, fish, cheese, etc. at a low price, and you'll enjoy the majestic view!
