We came with our 2 year old son to this appartement in the first half of January. It was colder than usually for this time of the year in Cefalu - maximum 7 degrees during the day plus a cold wind, so we were a bit unlucky... As obody stayed in the appartement before we arrived, the temperature inside the appartement was nearly the same like outside. Even we turned on the AC (as heater) the first night was really cold, because the appartement has two levels and the bed is on the ground level and the AC up on the wall. As the warm air is always going up, it took about two days until the temperature was getting comfortable. So my suggestion to the owner Daniela was, in case somebody would like to come in such a cold time, the AC should be turned on before by the person who is taking care for the appartement.
I think it was just the wrong time of the year to stay in Cefalu, also because nearly everything - shops, restaurants and even the rock of Cefalu were closed.
Still we took some nice walks along the beach, enjoyed the panorama, visited the beautiful church and cooked some delicious foods from the great gourmet supermarket next to the appartement. Daniela was always responding quickly by WhatsApp and for example giving English translations of the Italian instructions of the kitchen machines.
A bit later in the year the appartement of Daniela is surely a great place to stay for a couple or family near the seaside.
Apropos cooking... another "exciting experience" for us was, when suddenly the electricity went off completely, just because we wanted to cook dinner. Sitting in the complete darkness with my cellphone turning off because lack of electricity, no internet and my son panic besides me while myself not understanding the instructions provided by Daniela in written form of how to turn on the electricity... Thanks God my husband still had his cellphone working and I had Danielas number written on a piece of paper and Daniela calling us back to instruct us on phone. We wouldn´t have made it by ourselves! The crucial point why we didn´t manage was, that we searched for the electric meter inside the appartement. But it is OUTSIDE! So just in case someone is getting into a similar kind of situation, it is good to know...
