This apartment was perfect for me, my husband and our two kids, aged 11 and 8, almost 9. It is in an amazing location, seconds from the beautiful Duomo and it’s vibrant square where you can sit and have the nicest pastries and gelatos ever with a coffee, juice or at nighttime dinner and drinks. It’s 5 minute walk or less to the beach which is literally a walk down stunning cobble stoned streets. The beach by the pier was where we went to most days and it was the nicest experience always- sand, swimming in clear tepid waters, snorkelling, jumping off the pier, stunning backdrop and views of the sea. The apartment has many steps which we learned to enjoy as it kept us fit and made us stronger and was a bonus to us considering all the luscious food we had! Would be tricky for those with younger children and all that comes with that, buggies and the like. The apartment is charming, clean, has everything you need, ac in the bedrooms which was a must, and wonderful balconies, the kitchen one looks out over a lovely courtyard and has wonderful views of the sea ahead. It was a magical stay we had in Cefalu and we were glad we stayed here and in this apartment for 18 nights. We didn’t hire a car so it didn’t bother us that there was no parking- you can leave your car in designated areas just outside the historic centre for a price each day- but we used public transport and it suited us, for train to Palermo for a day trip, a bus to Castlebuono, a mountain village about 40 mins away, bus to a waterpark one day for kids. It was our best holiday ever and I would highly recommend this apartment if you want to be immersed in the aesthetic of Cefalu!
