We stayed at Pamela's lovely cottage mid October 2017. The cottage was absolutely beautiful in the most stunning surroundings. The cottage is small and basic but has everything that you need. Pamela and her family were very welcoming and made us feel very much at home. We were allowed to walk around the grounds and use the pool (a little chilly at this time of year!). If you do go in October, it does get chilly at night but there is a lovely wood burning stove that heated the house perfectly. Also, the sea in Cefalu is very warm so we swam there. The position of the cottage was perfect. We drove up in to the mountains and down to Cefalu and explored the area lots and it was stunning. We'd love to return to Pamela's cottage one day. Could not recommend this house enough.
