Casa Batia is a very unusual and lovely retreat, high on the south side of Cefalu', with a wonderful view and complete privacy. Our stay there and the experience couldn't have been better. While it would have been a challenge to find alone, given that we arrived late from our flight and it was rapidly approaching nightfall, the hosts met us at a convenient spot and graciously led us up a winding private road past other driveways, to our destination. We were too tired to descend to Cefalu that night in search of dinner, (very long flight from California) our hosts had some pasta and sauce in the pantry that they offered us, along with a bottle of nice red wine (and fresh basil)! They are such a warm and lovely couple, and the variety of the house design exemplifies that spirit.
We replaced the pasta and sauce, but were very grateful for their generosity.
In addition the most remarkable stone house, the beds were comfortable, the view from the upstairs bath in the morning with the sun streaming in, complete privacy (except perhaps the hopeful donkeys looking back).. Charming garden and flowers..We would love to be back.
