We had a mixed stay at Daniella’s apartment in Cefalu, tainted by ridiculous scenario on final evening:

Pros :
-Excellent location (close to beach and supermarket)
-Clean on arrival
-Air con a plus in very hot temperatures
-Daniella initially very communicative

Cons:
-Expensive for what you get, as the apartment is basic (although maybe this is true of all peak-season Cefalu)
-Lacking in some simple and cheap items which would have made our stay more hassle free e.g. washing up liquid/dishcloth/bin liners etc. as we had to go out and buy these things just to use a couple of times
-Language barrier at check-in, as we were greeted by Daniella’s friend, so could not ask the simple questions that we needed to (would not have been a problem, had some basic welcome information been left in the apartment e.g. what to do on check –out)

-Very strange situation on last day which unfortunately ruined our opinion of this apartment. We received a text from Daniella telling us (not asking) that Adamo would come to our apartment at 8 o’clock on the final evening to do our check-out as we were leaving very early the next morning. We waited in the apartment…and we waited…and we waited. Adamo never arrived – so we had basically wasted out last evening in Cefalu waiting for somebody, at Daniella’s request, who never arrived. I text Daniella to explain this and never received an apology, explanation, or even a reply! Obviously the host is not so interested in communicating once the stay is over and the money taken.

Overall the apartment itself has a lot of potential, but not enough care and attention from the host.
