Neither words, nor pictures, can quite convey how magical the villa of Anna and Carmelo is. My family and I spent an absolutely unforgettable week there, when, among other things, my (now) wife and I were planning to get married. Though we had planned to have a small ceremony with our parents on the beach, Anna's villa was so bucolic, peaceful, and picturesque that we decided to have our ceremony there! The views and scenery are incredible; the rooms – especially the attic/mansarda – spacious; and Anna and Carmelo were the consummate hosts. They provided us with space and privacy, but were quick to reply to any of our requests; and they were generous. In fact, they left us champagne and the best semifreddo, hands down, we'd ever had for our wedding. And when my wife wasn't feeling well the morning we left, they helped to take care of her, provided her with medicine, and drove her to the train station. We have every intention of returning to this paradise in the future. In the meantime, anyone visiting Cefalù should make staying at Anna and Carmelo's villa their first priority.
