Fabiene’s apartment in Cefalu’ was our last AirBnB after staying at several others during our 2 weeks in Sicily. The others were all very highly rated, but none were as amazing as Fabienes. To say it looks exactly like the picture is an injustice. As beautiful as the pictures are, you have to see it to believe it. You enter the apartment into a very spacious kitchen, fully stocked with everything especially coffee! In the back of the kitchen is an art deco
modern, tile bathroom with a large commode and-wait for it——the biggest and most beautiful shower in all of Sicily. The shower alone is worth renting Fabiene’s place. That is until you enter the warm, comfortable lining room with wooden beamed ceiling, and a double door balcony (more for looks than function- it is a bit small and you are several levels above the street !) There is a wide modern spiral stair case to the loft which is also wooden timbered, which has a very comfortable double (in the US we would call it “queen sized”) bed.
The location is also the very best: an easy 15 minute walk from the train station, a 5 minute walk down to Cefalu’s beautiful sand beach (10 minutes back since it’s uphill), a couple minutes to the Cathedral and Piazza Duomo and three steps from the front door of the building to the main street with all the shops and restaurants. Fabiene’s place really has it all- gorgeous looks and the very best location. Did I mention THE best shower in Sicily?
Check in was quick and easy, and Fabiene is very flexible and easy to work with. As always- one watch out: from the street to the apartment are forty (40) steps. We are in our late sixties and had no trouble with them, but hauling bags up there is a bit of a work out- but well worth it. If you have bad knees or hips you might be challenged.
Obviously, I highly recommend Fabiene’s amazing apartment!!!
