How many superlatives can I use to describe the Villa Normanno! Gorgeous, relaxing, spectacular, homey, amazing, restful. All of them will work. We loved being in this villa for our week stay in Cefalù! We didn’t want to leave and I wish I’d booked 2 weeks. The house is a dream with all the amenities you could hope for. First, Francesco and Pino were so attentive to our every need. Communication was easy, reliable, and quick - prompt answers to any and all questions. Pino met us to check in and spent the time necessary to make sure all of our questions were answered and any information about the area was conveyed. I can’t think
of anything negative about the house. One observation. It was a bit hard to determine which house it was so maybe a photo of the garage/carport at the entrance would have been helpful. We went too far up the hill and turning around was a bit nerve-wracking as we had a larger vehicle than most people might rent. As another reviewer mentioned the road/driveway to the house is very steep. It took us a couple of days to get really good at it. We had a day of rain but we were still able to enjoy dinner alfresco, enjoying the view, because of the covered outdoor kitchen/dining area. The doors of the villa open up very wide so getting the breeze was so easy. The bedrooms all have AC splits so each room’s temperature can be individually controlled. Even though it was too cold to swim while we were there (unusually cool weather for Sicily) the pool was our gathering point after touring every day. We would have cocktails prior to going out to dinner or enjoying a antipasto tray before dinner if we stayed in. Francesco provided us with his favorite restaurants in Cefalù and nearby Sant’Ambrogio and they became our favorites, too - especially Kentia. Reserve Kentia (in Cefalù) on the terrace just before sunset and enjoy a delicious meal. We booked twice it was so good! Love, love, love this villa! Want to come back with the whole family!
