A great stay and fantastic host! Francesco was professional, responsive, and eager to make our trip a success. Upon arrival, we were instantly in love with the location and the amenities. It is an ideal location for relaxation.
Hospitality -
Immediately after booking, Francesco contacted us to ensure any questions we had about the trip were answered. He was flexible with check-in times and met us upon arrival to explain the location and ensure we had everything. A nice touch was the handwritten greeting sign for our family and flying our own nation’s flag. He immediately responded to any questions that we had throughout our stay.
Location/Privacy -
Located on a hilltop off via Barraca, the view is stunning. It overlooks the coast with absolutely beautiful sunrises. Here you are above the hustle of the town so no city noise or bright lights to disturb your tranquility. However, it is an easy 12 minute trip to reach the beaches and city center of Cefalu. It was wonderful to be able to have both the option to enjoy the excitement of a beach town or unwind in a tranquil setting. The yard is large enough for kids to enjoy running around and the property is ringed with olive trees, aloe plants and other fragrant flora. Well-cared for potted plants around the home are clear indicators of the time and effort Francesco puts in to tending to each detail.
Comfort / Amenities -
Francesco has gone to great lengths to make this home as comfortable as possible. The temperature was perfect when we visited. Every window is well screened so you can let the fresh mountain air move through the house and no concerns with insects. Fresh linens and a lot of extra towels provided for the pool which our kids spent hours enjoying. Self-laundry available on site. Plenty of outdoor furniture for taking in the view, lounging by the pool, or eating meals outside under the covered porch. Well-lit both inside and out. Lots of dishes, cooking gear, lighters, wine openers, etc. Wi-fi was available in the home with speeds that supported video-streaming.
Value -
The comforts and natural beauty of this home, its close proximity to Cefalu, fantastic hosting, and reasonable cost makes this a premier location for couples and families alike.
