Beautiful Hilltop Villa With Amazing Views
We were a party of 6 including my wife and I, our three adult kids, and my mother. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful stone house perched over the town and coast of Cefalu. Francesco could not have been more gracious and responsive. He arranged for a chef who cooked us a lovely seafood dinner, he made recommendations and responded immediately to any questions. The property and gardens are amazing. But we were also quite content to stay in the house during a heavy rain day. The road that approaches the house is quite steep and a little tricky. We highly recommend this location.

Far from the madding crowd
An absolute gem of a place. Well equipped property, inside and out. Owners (Francesco and Marianna) are deservedly proud of this quaint property and gardens. Swimming pool and patio immaculate. Indoor and outdoor shower rooms. Car needed as location is 3.6 miles from Cefalu town centre. Highly recommended and Francesco, provided the warmest welcome, a fabulous bottle of local wine, and took us on a personal tour of Palermo. His hospitality was beyond our expectation. Would also recommend the supermarket Gourmet Deco Cefalu - Waitrose on steroids!

Fabulous!
We throughly enjoyed our stay in Sicily and would highly recommend staying here. The villa itself is wonderfully rustic and authentic and is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! A real home from home. Francesco is a fantastic host who greeted us with a warm welcome and was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Cefalu was beautiful and we also spent a lovely evening in nearby pituresque Castelbuono (an excellent recommendation by Francesco). We also enjoyed exploring other parts of the island (a car is a must) and the fantastic nearby beaches and the villa was always a welcome sight to return to. We fell in love with Sicily and wouldn't hesitate to stay again! Karl, Mel and family.

Amazing
Stop looking and just book this. Beautiful, comfortable Italian farmhouse. Wonderful stone walls and beams inside. Comfortable, quality furnishings. Many beautiful antiques. Waist-deep pool. Amazing outdoor spaces & living with plenty of shade or sun to enjoy the beautiful view. Beautiful landscape and gardens. Everything you could possibly need. So peaceful and quiet yet only 10 minutes to town, good restaurants, lots of activities. Owner is amazing, kind, so helpful. Stocked us with groceries for our first evening and morning since we were getting in late. He would have done more had we asked. Like having our own Italian home. We absolutely loved it!

Lovely place!
We were two families with children, ages from 5 to 12, who enjoyed a wonderful week in Francesco's lovely house. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to sit outside in the shade at all times of the day, and playing and cooling off in the pool. Francesco was a friendly, funny and helpful host. He gave us good tips about restaurants and beaches to visit.

A Gem in Cefalù: Our Stay at Francesco’s Haven
Our stay at Francesco's house in Cefalù was a highlight of our travels. As a host, Francesco was phenomenal, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us our privacy. His house offered a quaint and cozy retreat, complete with the comforts of home yet a distinctly Sicilian charm.What made our experience unforgettable was the house's stunning view—unparalleled vistas of the sea that framed our mornings and evenings with natural splendor. The house, a perfect embodiment of coziness and beauty, paired with Francesco's hospitality, made our visit to Cefalù truly magnificent. This is not just a place to stay; it's a venue to experience the best of Sicily.

Très belle maison avec vue magnifique. Cefalu est une très jolie cité médicale et balnéaire. Nombreux commerces. La route d’accès est impressionnante et nécessite une voiture haute mais on s’y habitue. Piscine très agréable. Pas de lave vaisselle. Très bon accueil de Marianna et Francesco. On recommande !

Mooi huis op schitterende locatie
Ruim sfeervol ingericht huis met ruime overkapping en terras en zwembad. Fantastisch uitzicht op zee vanaf 350 m hoogte. Rustige plek ongeveer 4 km van Cefalu vandaan. De laatste 800 m zijn erg stijl imhoog en vormen telkens weer een uitdaging om er te komen. De eigenaar, Franceso, is een hartelijke man die je graag wil helpen.

Highly recommended!
We had a lovely stay at Francesco’s house. The location is perfect, calm and quiet with an amazing view, but still close to the main attractions in Cefalu. The house was clean and practical with loads of nice seating areas outside to enjoy the view and the pool. Francesco was a fantastic host, a great communicator, and overall lovely person - always available for questions and assistance.

Maison extraordinaire, chaleureuse, belle vue sur la mer, très propre et fonctionnelle. Les propriétaires sont à l'écoute et très sympathiques. Merci à eux Le seul inconvénient est l'accès.

Séjour très agréable dans une maison de caractère
Cette maison perchée à 300 m de hauteur offre une vue magnifique sur la mer et la région dont on ne se lasse pas. L'accueil de Francesco était royal avec un excellent déjeuner sicilien préparé pour nous à notre arrivée, il vous considère comme un ami et fait tout son possible pour rendre votre séjour agréable, il fait l'effort de parler français qu'il maitrise très bien. La maison est pleine de charme, confortable avec toutes les commodités (sauf le lave-vaisselle mais on s'en est très bien passé), bien arrangée et le cadre est superbe. On peut manger à l'ombre et à l'abri sur un belle terrasse avec vue sur la mer. L'accès à la villa est un peu surprenant au début avec une côte impressionnante sur une route en mauvais état mais on s'y habitue vite et sans problème. Un conseil , n'oubliez pas les produit anti-moustiques car ils sont bien présents. En tout cas notre séjour a été extraordinaire dans cette maison et on avait le cafard de repartir, de laisser un si beau paysage et un accueil exceptionnel.

un paradis, une vue aérienne, sublime.
Nous venons de passer une semaine idyllique dans cet havre de paix. Le propriétaire, devenu notre ami ;-) Francesco !!! C'est une personne d'une générosité incroyable, d'une gaieté sans faille... Merci Francesco pour ton accueil si amical. La villa n'a pas de "vis à vis". Nous étions seuls au monde. La villa est à 10 mn de Cefalu, et allions sans problème dîner le soir (même avec 3 bambins !!). La maison est parfaitement équipée... De bon goût. Avec une petite piscine parfaite pour se relaxer en rentrant de la plage ! Juste une remarque... la route qui mène à la maison est surprenante la première fois. Un pente quasi verticale !!!... qui semble insurmontable !! En réalité très facile dès la deuxième montée. Nous avons laissé notre "pink flamingo"... mieux dans la piscine de Francesco qu'à Paris !!! Bref, ne pas hésiter... nous avons adoré !

Makalöst hus och utsikt!
Vi stortrivdes under vår vistelse, huset var helt fantastiskt, vackert italienskt, rymligt och med alla tillbehör! Vi var två familjer och det passade oss perfekt. Poolen var barnvänlig och alldeles lagom stor och passade barnen i åldrarna 6-13. Utsikten var verkligen något extra, helt magnifik!! Francesco var en fantastisk host med sin glädje och vänlighet men också hjälpsamhet med att besvara alla våra frågor. Francesco bidrog mycket till vår positiva upplevelse av resan. Boendet ligger uppe på ett berg så sista biten dit var lite ansträngande och det krävs lite mod av föraren. Man vande sig efter ett par gånger, men ändå bra att känna till. Vi rekommenderar gärna detta fantastiska hus och Francesco som host, toppen!

Wunderschönes Haus mit traumhaften Ausblick
Das Haus wird nach einer abenteuerlichen Auffahrt erreicht. Dann wird man von einer Blumenpracht begrüßt und die Besichtigung des Hauses begeistert. Wir waren mit drei Paaren unterwegs und das Haus hat genügend Platz für uns geboten. Es gibt eine riesige Tafel auf der Terasse und auch die Küche bietet alles was das Herz begehrt. Cefalu ist der perfekte Standort für alle möglichen Ausflüge und bietet selbst eine Traumkulisse, sizilianische Köstlichkeiten und mehrere Strände. Ein muss ist der eigene Mietwagen, ansonsten ist die Villa nicht zu erreichen.
