Francesco was the most friendly, welcoming, warm kind and thoughtful host. From the minute we arrived he made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. The location of the villa is great if you want to stay just outside of Cefalu but with amazing views. You will need a car to be able to enjoy day trips. It was about a 20 min drive into Cefalu, which is a beautiful little town with a lovely white long sandy beach. Great restaurants too. The self contained studio we stayed was simple but well equipped and had everything we needed. On arrival, Francesco made sure we had a fridge stocked with necessities and a bottle of wine! Which was a lovely surprise. Our studio was nicely furnished and the view from the private terrace overlooking the sea was incredible and so special to wake up to the sun rising from your bed looking out to the ocean. We enjoyed many breakfasts on the terrace over looking the sea. We loved the swimming pool, the pool area to relax around with sunbeds and views from there are simply magnificent. It was very well maintained, and cleaned everyday. We haven't been in a cleaner pool and the swimming jets are a fun novelty too! Francesco was on hand 24/7 to help us with tips and recommendations of not just the local area but the whole island of Sicily. He really wants you to enjoy your stay on the island and have an unforgettable experience, not just at his property. We will be back again for sure! :) Thank you Francesco! *****
