We stayed at Villa degli Emiri with a group of 10. The place was amazing and the patio is great! We spent most of our time out on the patio, cooking, and at one of the two beaches walkable distance from the apartment. It was a very easy drive into Cefalu to shop, have a drink, and get delicious pastries and gelato. Giacomo was quick to respond to questions and sent his mother to address issues we had very quickly (we couldn't figure out the air conditioners at first and had some trouble with the wifi) both problems were quickly resolved and we had a wonderful time!! Great value!
