My husband and I live in Catania but had to take my mother-in-law to the airport in Palermo, about 2.5 to 3 hours away. We decided to stay in Cefalu the day before, allowing us to explore the city and have a shorter drive to the airport the following morning. Riccardo was a wonderful host, responding promptly to my messages. He allowed us to bring our two dogs as well, who enjoyed interacting with the adorable kittens on the property. The home is located minutes from Cefalu, which was very convenient. There are two ways to access the property; the first brings you in from the front up a very narrow road that ultimately leads to a parking area. Our jetta fit fine, but bigger vehicles may have an issue. The second way to access the property is from the back; it's much easier and leads directly from to the parking area. Our first impression of the property was that it was very charming and quiet. We saw more animals than people. The actual home has a big outside area great for sitting and hanging out. Inside is small but cozy. The air conditioner works perfectly and the bathroom is wonderful. I used the wifi to quickly complete some school work and having the little desk in the bedroom was especially helpful. We mainly used the home to sleep at night, so I can't really review the kitchen. The kitchen was small but in great shape. We had a pleasant stay at Casa del Pavone.
