Just like the other reviews said, the location is not as easily accessible as most of Sicily, however we would point out the fact that the roads are very good and wider than in Taormina for example. Therefore it is not so difficult to find the place and to enter the premises and park. We recommend going through Lascari, which by the way is a wonderful Sicilian village just 5km away from this accommodation. In terms of closeness to Cefalù, consider approximately 20 minutes worth of driving (walking is totally out of the question).
Stefania was responsive, and provided useful information on reaching the location. She was friendly in showing us the place, and how to get around. As a touristic destination, we would have expected and appreciated if the host knew a bit more English. In the end, however, this did not stop us from understanding each other as we were able to muster some words in Italian also (forced to practice, courtesy of 9 out of 10 sicilians speaking nothing but Italian).
About the place itself, just wow... out of all the accommodations in Sicily boasting on sea/mountain/valleys views, this was the only place that really made an impression with us in terms of spectacular views. As far as the interior is concerned, our private floor was absolutely lovely, with stylish old furniture, spacious rooms and a very comfortable bed facing the windows and the sea.
Parking is available in the house’s courtyard, making it as safe as it gets. After parking on the streets of Palermo for several nights in a row, this really meant we were able to enjoy a peaceful sleep on account of the car.
A final note goes to say that the house is shared with Stefania’s family, who live beneath the rented floor. Although we do not hold this against them, as the rating shows, you should be prepared in case things stay rather loud until around midnight (as was our case). Then again, we only stayed the one night and perhaps this was an exception.
We would stay here again, therefore we warmly recommend the place.
