Cefalù Bed & Breakfast

Plussat: Gorgeous “farm” property and house. Stunning. Delicious food.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Leonardo the owner is a great chef and provides dinner if required. I have to say the experience was so good that we ate there every evening! Very peaceful location.The morning we left we had to leave before breakfast for an early flight, Leonardo came to the property early so that he could provide us with a pack up! The staff are all equally enthusiastic and make your stay a pleasure. Thank you all for making our stay special

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Superb breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, juices, yogurt, choice of cereals, cold meats and cheeses and more. Great choice of coffee, expresso, latte and cappuccino. In addition we enjoyed two wonderful dinners full of fresh local ingredients and seafood, and served on the deck overlooking the hills and the sea in the distance

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I loved the location on the hillside surrounded by olive groves looking out to sea. The sunrises were spectacular. A short drive down in the car to the exquisite little town of Cefalu. A great location for a well earned rest. The swimming pool and view from pool was excellent. Our kind hosts provided delicious rustic meals in the evening made from locally grown produce.

Miinukset: I appreciated being forewarned about the steepness of the road leading to the house - it posed no problem, but you will definitely need your own vehicle for coming and going and enjoying the surrounds.

Plussat: everything

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Location- close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, parking. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was just enough. They let us check out a little later which was very helpful since we’ve been jet lagged!

Plussat: The room and bathroom are bigger than most in Italy, which was nice. Mine (the Warhol) was nicely decorated and bright. I had a cute little terrace overlooking the street. It’s a quick walk from the train station and also an easy walk to the sea and restaurants. They had a nice little cheat sheet prepared with recommendations at the front desk

Miinukset: It was a little strange that the check in was all done remotely without anyone on site, but I was able to communicate with the hotel operators via WhatsApp easily

Miinukset: The Breakfast

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Screaming baby half of the stay, hard bed, no items for breakfast for gluten-free, no welcome from the hotel until check-out. Impersonal, loud, and overall not great.

Plussat: Cefalù is a an amazing place. It’s not easy to navigate through, but with a little of patience you will be rewarded if you choose to stay in this super cool place. How to describe accommodation the best? So relaxed, yet professional; easy going, and spotless clean; central and with strong neighbourhood feel; trustworthy and open; careful and down to earth. And no plastic, like in mama’s home.

Plussat: Very nice B&B with extremely nice and clean rooms! The breakfast is everything you need. The host was also super nice, friendly and helpful! It’s only a few 100m from bars, restaurants and the beach. Free parking on the street is nearby.

Plussat: Convenient location for restaurants, local sights and just walking around Cefalu. Personable staff. Good choices for breakfast.

Plussat: Clean and good furnished rooms. Location is good, breakfast is good also. Good place to stay.

Plussat: - Very comfort bed, well-decorated & equipped room - Fantastic breakfast - Great bar (Anytime, you can take some water/bear/wine/hard liquor in a glass or a bottle in yourself, Just pay at check-out.) - Very kind and nice host - Easy access to main street of ZTL, cafe, bar, Cathedral, beach (good location, just beside from ZTL) - Less than 5 min. walk from very nice & safe public parking lot (central parking lot ??, 10 euro/ day)

Miinukset: - Almost none

Plussat: Great breakfast, very clean

Miinukset: You can loudly hear the neighbours flush the toilet

Plussat: Erityisesti näköalasta.

Miinukset: Etäisyys ja rankka ylämäki oli vanhalle ihmiselle aika rankka. Toisaalta se takasi hienon näköalan. Paikka oli aika vaikea löytää, vaikka tiesi osoitteen.

Plussat: The best were : the Host :) and the breakfast area. Also it was clean, free parking spot, good location.

Miinukset: We had a little too small room with a private bathroom next door accessible only from the corridor. It wouldn’t be okey for a longer period of time but this is B&B so not a big deal :) Would be great to have more details how to get to them on the website because it is very difficult, but the Host even gave me a lift to show the way :)

Plussat: Good breakfest

Plussat: Our room was nicely furnished; I appreciate the shelves and how comfortably the room has been designed. Having breakfast on the balcony upstairs was a lovely way to start the day. The bathroom was private and across the hall, and it seemed to have new tile and fixtures.

Miinukset: It was very easy to hear guests in the next room and in the hall. Happily the other guests were quiet at a reasonable time so it was not a problem.

Plussat: Delicious cakes for breakfast, good view from the breakfast tables

Miinukset: Very small room, no change of towels (there was no chance to dry them either, so you had to use them wet again), no daylight in the room (you had to switch on the light the whole day), bed was not comfortable

Plussat: The view of Cefalu was fantastic. The room other than the bathroom was a nice size. A lovely breakfast was served on the outdoor deck.

Miinukset: It was a tough climb up from the airport. I probably would have taken a taxi had I known. There was no communication with the b&b prior to arrival even though I sent an email. The hot water in the shower didn't last long enough for two people to shower.

Plussat: Clean place and very good location. Our view was to the parking lot so at least we could check our car. :) Breakfast was very good, satisfying selection for everyone (owner's sister cooks and is very nice) and you sit on the balcony with amazing view to the town and the sea. Basically it's one apartament with long hall and each room represents one accommodation with separate bathroom. So you can hear people on the hall (not problem for us, just a note).

Miinukset: The check-in is till 22. We were lending late in Palermo and supposed to pick up rented car and then drive straight to Cefalú. We had extra time but we weren't sure how long the car rent company will take (or the flight could be late) so we told Mirko we might be late for 30-60 min top (2 days in advance). We were repetedly told after 22 it's not possible even if we texted from the airport for example we will be late for 10 min. We made it till 22 so it was okay but we were worried the whole time and afraid we might loose the money. After arrival we waited for Mirko to come (he arrived by car) and then it was okay and he was very nice and helpful.

Plussat: Really nice place with excellent Staff

Miinukset: The place was a little bit difficult to find but the owner came were I was when I call him by the phone. Everything was nice

Plussat: Lovely room, with a nice bathroom and shower. Spacious and clean with kettle, tv and aircon. The staff were lovely and we were impressed with the breakfast spread, croissants hot from the oven and mozzarella salad etc!!! Great location if you don't mind the 15 min walk which we didn't at all.

Miinukset: All was good, nothing bad to say!!

Plussat: Most wonderful, central location in an old palace :) 360 degree panorama from the rooftop.

Plussat: Tiny room with the necessary equipment - amazing view over the duomo - rooftop highly recommended for sunsets - nice breakfast

Miinukset: Everything was good

Plussat: Breakfast was very good with a lit of choices and variety. The price could be a little bit lower but still fairly good. The room was super clean and the location was extraordinarily.

Miinukset: The only problem was that it had a lot of stairs without lift so for elderly I don’t recommend it.

Plussat: Upea näköala duomon aukiolle. Hyvä aamiainen.

Miinukset: Liian paljon rappusia. Ei sovellu huonokuntoiselle.

Plussat: The location of this property is perfect BUT I did not stay there. I was assigned my room which was clean and comfortable but there was a very unpleasant odour. I complained and they showed me 2 other rooms which were lovely but had the same very unpleasant odour. I was also shown a tiny loft bedroom up some very tight spiral stairs, it didn’t smell but the stairs were a nightmare to get luggage up and down. I told them the property was not suitable and so they took me to another small apartment which was closeby. The staff were very nice and did what they could to rectify the situation.

Miinukset: The smell!

Plussat: Great location and a rooftop terrace with view. The breakfast had more than just the usual Italian sweet things, I could make a toast and had cheese and ham too.

Plussat: Good basic accommodation in the centre of things, My room was spotless, plenty of hot water in the shower and a great roof-top terrace overlooking the Duomo. Breakfast was included and had a nice selection to choose from. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Staying in the winter, the room was quiet at night but I can imagine that it might be a bit noisier during the summer season.

Miinukset: There are a lot of stairs to climb to reach the room - no problem for me but for some travellers this could be difficult, especially with a lot of luggage. Also the shower could use a shelf to hold your shampoo and soap.

Plussat: Mostly the location and the rooftop terrace - the views from up there are spectacular. The breakfast was good too - even included boiled eggs, cheese, salami (unlike the usual Italian breakfast which only consists of sweet pastries).

Miinukset: Nothing really - the stairs may be a problem for some people since they are very narrow, but if you tread carefully they're manageable. And the staff always offer to help with the luggage!!

Plussat: Great view from the room. Breakfast included. Very good location. Very good value overall.

Plussat: I booked this place as I needed a break after two days in chaotic Palermo and it gave me exactly what I needed. It’s a very peaceful place in the middle of the nature and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: There are lots of cats in the vicinity. I love cats so I didn’t mind but it might be good to mention that in case of visitors with allergy.

Plussat: Rural, beautiful place with stunning view. Excellent place if you like Cefalù, but prefer a quiet place to enjoy your evening. Very sympathetic owner!

Miinukset: Although the B&B is not very far from Cefalù, it’s still a ten minute drive on a very curvy road. The last piece of the road is sandy, and pretty steep. Our Panda made is without problems though.

Plussat: Location is a little way out of town, so a bit of a trip to find something to wat but that is also why it is so peaceful. Fantastic views over the valley
