We had a lovely stay at Olivia’s place. Olivia and her husband met us and showed us through the house. Lovely views from the comfy sofa in the living room and also from the terrace. We enjoyed swimming at the little beach - no people - a quick walk. And yes, you really do need a car but it is close to Cefalu and parking was not a hassle (off season) in Cefalu. Also, we spent one day exploring the hill towns inland - the place is very well located for this. Highly recommended!
