We had a wonderful stay at Villa Casagni! The view is exactly as it is on the picture. There are no really nearby houses, just one to the right behind some trees…but you are basically alone there and it is really quiet. We rented a scooter for two people at Scooter Rental in the historic city which costs around 350€ for 2 weeks - totally easy & nice rental personal. One will get used to the last part of the road, it‘s really steep but no problem for the scooter at all! There are also taxis going/coming up there. It‘s a 15-20min drive to the beach with the scooter.
Everything worked out and we had a really good stay. But one must say that there could be some improvements at/in the house. The kitchen equipment lacks some normal things like drink glasses or a cutting knife. The dishwasher doesn‘t work, the door to the bedroom doesn‘t close without loudly rubbing on the bottom, the gate/ a door handle weren‘t functioning well….also keep in mind that it is a bit cold in october already and there is no heating and not too much blankets in the house.
Oh and there is Wifi! Although it didn‘t work in the beginning, it worked in the end. Netflix & co - everything is possible :)
We really want to underline that this house is absolutely worth it. We can recommend going up the hills behind the house and watch the sunset from there because from the house you only see the painted sundown-clouds sometimes but since the view is neither to east/west it actually just gets darker without the romantic thing ;)
Other that that Indiana Jones 5 was recorded during our stay in Cefalù, so if you are a fan, you should visit the places. We saw Harrison Ford from far away which was the strangest thing that could happen as we didn‘t know anything about the filming there before. 😅
Have fun at Villa Casagni!
