My family and I feel like we discovered a gem at Il Dona Di Atena. The property managers, Rosamaria and Pino, her husband, worked seemingly tirelessly (yet unobtrusively) to help ensure we had an enjoyable stay at this small inn. The property has just a handful of apartments with hill/sea views, a lovely saltwater pool, beautiful grounds with fruit trees, flowering plants, palms, an outdoor kitchen area complete with pizza oven and BBQ for guests to use, numerous outdoor seating areas, a gazebo equipped for yoga/exercise/meditation, etc, a bocce court, a swing for little ones, and even a small lily pond with a resident duck. The apartment we stayed in was immaculately clean, well equipped, and decorated with original art, ceramics and quality furniture. We were close enough to Cefalù that you can see “the rock” from the property (it’s a short and easy drive into town where there are public parking lots). Rosamaria was available by text to answer any questions and provided us with great restaurant recommendations in town, helping secure reservations when we desired. We really can’t say enough good things and hope to return some day!
