We, a group of 7 people, spent one week in Giovanni‘s villa.
As described by other guests, the villa is beautiful nestled up the hill (7min car ride) with a splendit view over Cefalu and the sea. The place is very spacious and comes with a nice outdoor-kitchen including a pizza-oven, gas and wooden bbq-grill and plenty of equipment.
Unfortunately, the good things to say about the villa just end here. We found the place in very poor and unacceptable condition: Both the outdoor and the indoor-kitchen were very dirty when we arrived. We found unwashed dishes in the dishwasher and pieces of old food everywhere. The bedrooms smelled wet and the linen/pillows were in such shaby condition that we could harldy sleep in it. The pool was dirty and the benches surrounding it mostly broken. The water quality seemed to be poor as well. All in all the villa is inside and outside a mess and would need a major renovation. At least Giovanni was very responsive and organized troubleshooting (e.g. when electrocity went off twice after heavy rainfalls) and surprized us on the last day with canolis and cornettis.
Against this backgroud, the price requested is not justified at all. However and even if one had to pay less, I would really not recommend to stay there.
