We started our stay in Cefalu, in an apartment by the Cathedrale, and moved to this house after a few days in town. We loved this house, being out of the bustle, and still being able to easily get anywhere we wanted, with just a short drive.
The house is very comfortable, with a large terrace which beccons for the great, double doors to be opened. As soon as we arose, each day, we made our coffee and opened the doors, and expanded our world to include the beautiful terrace, garden and pool area.
Agostino's parents live downstairs, and have their own terrace, which extends out beyond the upper one, so you see a little movement down there, once in a while, so you know they are still home. But there are pergolas, with drapes, and many plants, which provide a canopy of separation and privacy, so any interaction is your choice. There is a private path, which leads down the side of the garden to the pool area, which has a cabanna, with table and chairs, and several chaise lounges. The pool itslef is deeper than it appears in the photos; perhaps just over 1 meter at the shallow end, sloping down to several meters at the deep end, so swimming is easy. The water was clear, and a little cool in mid-May, but we still swam and enjoyed the oasis.
We found we yearned to be back at the house, to spend time there each day, so after a short trip to Cefalu or Castelbuono, we would return and enjoy the sun and water.
The bed was very comfortable, the shower warm and refreshing. We enjoyed the seating in the living area, with TV, and cooked in the kitchen most nights. There is a 4-burner, gas cooktop, dishwasher, multiple coffee machines, including Nespresso, traditional stove-top espresso and American coffee maker.
We loved this spot and hope to return in the future.
