Francesco is a wonderful host, with some great lofts in the heart of beautiful and historic Cefalù. He was out of town when we first arrived, but was still available to assist and make recommendations for us. All together it was an amazing 10 night stay for our lunadimiele (honeymoon).

The location is great, easy to walk to the beach, historic city center restaurants/shopping, train station, cathedral, and the park entrance for La Rocca. The only downside we experienced (we blame ourselves for poor planing) was the frustration of finding parking for our rental car. We arrived late, and found a metered spot (blue lines) but we slept in, and received a parking ticket (~35 euro). After that we decided to play it safe and park in the large public lot at the beach for 10 Euro/day. Next time we will probably not rent a car, although it was handy for day trips around the island.
