Views from your dreams.
A fantastic oasis of calm, very relaxing and only a few minutes from Cefalu with its bars, restaurants and beach. Realistically a car is a requirement as it's quite a walk to anywhere else, though I didn't try taxis and I guess they would work if you can direct them.
The site is quite large and is reached via a rather windy and steep drive way. Once inside the gated grounds there are two buildings - the main one that we rented and a family small one close by which is used by Anotella's family occasionally, when we were there we were alone but everyone is very friendly and respectful in Sicily so all would be good I'm sure.
The site is not overlooked by anyone and you look out to sea until the horizon. The house is located some 300 feet above the water and set back with a road and railway line between, but neither is visible nor can be heard as it is a steep drop towards the ocean they are practically underneath you.
The site is nearly a nature reserve with different trees - olive, oak, cork, pine, palm intermingled with carefully curated plantings and herb garden. The only sounds are birds singing and gecko's rustling the leaves.
The house is well equipped inside with everything you need to cook and self cater, the local super market is in town about 2KM away. The bathroom and shower is excellent and there is an upstairs toilet to avoid any rush. The house is tiled throughout with Sicilian ceramic tiles as is the outside covered area and forecourt.
Antonella is a super responsive host and extremely nice. She arranged for me to be met upon arrival and guided to the property. This is necessary as it's a little hard to find the first time as it is so cleverly secluded, but that adds to the charm.
Definately a return visit is on the cards
