We were two families with children from 2 to 9 years old and we had a lovely week at the Villa. It is absolutely beautiful, close to the town of Cefalu but also surrounded by trees and beautiful hillsides with a stunning panorama of the sea. The house is really quite luxurious with a variety of facilities and cooking areas. The decoration is very interesting and the house is full of antiques and other beautiful objets d'art. The villa is on multiple levels with narrow open staircases between the floors and some low walls and balconies which could be a consideration for children under 5. The town is only five minutes drive away but the villa is very peaceful and calm. We visited in Spring and it was very green and cool but I imagine that the trees and gardens would provide welcome shade in the hot summer. The hosts provided everything we needed including a child's cot and breakfast for the morning after arrival and were very good with communication.
