This really is a special place to stay and we highly recommend it. The location, tucked away in the hills, offers a wonderful, peaceful place to relax after a day at the beach or in vibrant Cefalu. The property is exactly as described, if not better. The view is breathtaking and the gardens and pool area are beautiful. Pino and Rita are very welcoming, informative and relaxed hosts and as other reviewers suggest, you can see as much, or as little of them as you wish to - they are on hand if you need them, but very unobtrusive. You do need a car and the access road to the property is a little narrow, but we soon got used to it and the drive in/out of Cefalu in straightforward. There is lots to do in the area and we would certainly return.
