Villino Lentini historical hospitality
We had a wonderful stay at Rossella’s. She and her husband were extremely friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place to stay with 2 couples- it’s essentially 2 apartments. Great AC, privacy, and super close to the beach and restaurants!

Apartment in Historic 1950s-Villa
Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

Villa Il Pensatoio
We had a beautiful time in the apartment - we loved the views and the kitchen was well equipped for homemade meals! It was a shame we had to take our rubbish so far, and some surfaces in the kitchen didn’t feel clean. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!

Carob Tree Cottage: cosy, joined to the beach
To stay at “Oasi delle Sallinelle” is a one of a kind experience, in anyway - inside and out! You can have a private and relaxed time at the property and its connected beach as well as cultural and culinary excursions in Cefalù! You’ll be surrounded by a precious, natural and wild environment, although your NOT in the middle of nowhere and there’s a lot of lovingly designed rooms and spaces for comfort and coziness. We felt at home, relaxing inbetween gardens of fruits, olives, cuddling kittens and two sweet dogs, that gonna melt your heart. Dario e Agnes are the most lovely and committed hosts, we could have dreamed of. They try to fulfill every wish, in such a warm and friendly way, that let us participate so easily and get sustainably connected to this special place, its animal and human inhabitants! 🥰We’ll come back as soon as possible and recommend, to all the people, that enjoy an individual, natural but also comfy vacation, to do the same! Grazie amici, ci vediamo presto! ♥️

Villa Borgo degli Ulivi with private beach
I’m almost at a loss of where to begin with how much my family and I enjoyed Diego’s incredible accommodation and hospitality! As a beach fanatic, this was the perfect location to enjoy a private and gorgeous location on the Mediterranean. No picture can do justice to the jaw-dropping water and the hours I happily spent wandering the coastline. Others have mentioned the generous spread of local treats Diego and his family provided - I can not overstate how helpful and welcome this was throughout our stay. Because of this, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals most nights; not because we were intending to be frugal (we are vacationing after all!), but because the items he provided were just that copious and delicious. The property grounds are lush and pristine, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the craftsmanship of the home is gorgeous. Most importantly perhaps, Diego and his family made US feel like family. Responsive, warm & a true taste of hospitality.

Casa Venere CIN- iT082053C2G721X3H5
The house is perfect for enjoying Mondello beach, comfortable and complete with everything, including parking. Benedetto is an exceptional host, he also welcomed us with some very welcome surprises and allowed us flexible hours. Highly recommended :-)

Summer house , intero appart., a Mondello beach
I stayed in Marilù's house for a week and I had a great time, nothing is missing. The house is very nice, clean, and tidy. Very close to the beach, the convenience store (perfect for shopping because there is everything), the pharmacy, the bar and the restaurants. Marilù and Giuseppe are special, very kind and helpful. I felt at home, I hope to come back!

Stabile Briante (Seaside House)
Carlo's accommodation was very quiet with a beautiful view of the sea. The check-in with Carlos' mother was very warm and uncomplicated despite language barriers (on both sides). All rooms are super clean and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, there is no AC for the bedroom(s), which is why it can get very warm in warmer temperatures. The terrace is shared with Carlos' uncle Alfredo, who is only outside for a few minutes a day. Alfredo is good at German, is very likeable and always up for a chat. He was never there overnight. The surroundings are beautiful, but not very touristy, which is why it is recommended to book a rental car and learn a word or two of Italian.

Villa's apartment on the beach, swimming pool A/C
Everything was perfect, Salvatore is a perfect vote. Accessible, proactif and know perfectly his country, all advices from him was so good. His home is perfect to be not so far from town but quiet as we wanted!! The view was so beautiful from our wake up , just open eyes from the bed and you see wonderful seaside view. Thanks for everything Salvatore, for sur well come back to your villa.

Cefalù – AcquaMarea Home
We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The apartment was perfect for our needs. Giuseppe was very kind, giving us a lift to the airport and then later gave our friend a lift there also for a later flight. It was a long walk to the old town, but pretty along the beach. It was a great beach to swim(being very safe with life guards) although a little crowded near the old town, but some areas had less people, giving you the best of both worlds. The views were amazing and the sun sets were incredible. Lots of beautiful, interesting places to visit. Even Etna blew for us. One of my best holidays. Thank you

Il Villino. Beach house with swimming pool and private beach
What a magical place in beautiful Sicily this is! We had an amazing stay and spent a good amount of time at the Villa as it’s a wonderful place to be. The outside environment is superb, so tranquil and peaceful. The pool was perfect for hot days and we spent a lot of time being competitive on the table tennis table. The short walk to a stunning private beach was a huge bonus. The villa is a short drive from the beautiful town of Cefalu which is a must to visit. I would 100% recommend Salvatore’s place to anyone looking for a a peaceful stay in Sicily.

Villa with private pool near the sea | Cefalù
100/10 the house was so beautiful and looked just like the photos. The pool was clean and amazing with rafts and a diving board. Air conditioning inside the house, beautiful garden and lots of outside space to sit and enjoy. Emanuele was super responsive and helpful every time we needed anything. His father and mother met us at the house for check in and were super lovely!! They set up a surprise of snacks and treats and made us feel like family. They also gave us some local recommendations and had waters and coffee at the house. Everything you need is right at the house and the grocery store is 5 minute drive away.

Apartment with Intinity Pool next Mondello Beach
don’t even know where to start! just a perfect place in Mondello, pristine clean, freshly renovated, fresh pastries every morning, incredible sea view, infinite swimming pool, steam room, super comfortable bed, welcome drinks, free parking and obviously the most hospitable and loving hosts ever!!! Angelo’s wife even did my laundry on the request, just truly splendid in every detail felt like home and definitely will come back thank you beautiful Barbarella and Angelo for this time

Independent villa with swimming pool and private beach access
I really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host’s kindness in getting us settled. The location was peaceful and private, and walking on the private beach at night was serene. We loved the gas stovetop for last‑minute meals and the shower’s light and radio. The indoor space was a bit tight, but the patio and outdoor areas made up for it. A few things caught us off guard: the pool is seasonal, chairs shown on the beach weren’t there, and some utensils were a bit dirty. We also found ants on the table, which upset my girlfriend, and the TVs were smaller than expected. The biggest concern was the road to the beach—the potholes made us nervous about driving. Overall, it’s a lovely spot. With a few clarifications and minor updates, it could be an even more fantastic getaway. Thank you for hosting us!

CefalHome - Kefalonia
This place is perfect and just as advertised. The private terrace is all you need for coffee in the morning and/or dinner during a stunning Sicilian sunset. The location is ideal and just a very quick drive into the heart of Cefalu. You also have reserved parking which is ideal in Italy. Nicola is a fantastic host and very communicative as needed. And as others mentioned, if you feel like staying close to home and don’t want to head out, the private beach awaits you down below. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and it’s perfect for either a solo traveler or a couple. It’s not a huge place, but the terrace, views, and location make up for it. I very much look forward to coming back and if you’re considering it, go ahead and book it. You’ll be happy you did. Buon viaggio!

Gelso Bianco Boutique Apartments
Amazing stay – highly recommended! Umberto is a fantastic host – warm, welcoming, speaks several languages, and gives great tips about the area. He really takes the time for you and makes you feel at home immediately. The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious, and very comfortable. It’s minimalistic yet cozy, with two TVs, a large fridge with freezer, and even a washing machine. The bathroom was big with a wonderful shower, and there was lots of closet space. We stayed in the middle apartment on the ground floor, with a private outdoor seating area and direct access to the shared space by the swimming pool – a perfect place to relax! We had an amazing time and would definitely come back. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed, well-organized stay!

Charming penthouse Cefalù
We spent a lovely week in Vincenzo's apartment. It was spacious, very well equipped and had a magnificent terrace. There was a choice of sun or shade throughout the whole day at this time of year. The apartment is centrally situated, with the beach, the Rock, local shops and a supermarket all within 10 minutes walk. Vincenzo and his son, Antonio, were friendly and responsive hosts.

Casa Calypso
Casa Calypso was our favorite home to stay in during our 3-week tour of Sicily. Lucia and Marco were very communicative, and Marco met us at the property and showed us around. The home is made of stone and is situated on the lot to maximize the gorgeous views, the most incredible sunset I've ever seen. We were a group of four and everyone loved the property. The quaint hamlet of Sant Ambrogio is described as a hidden gem; we walked there several times (down and up) and enjoyed some delicious dinners al' fresco - again with the sunset. Casa Calypso was one of the few homes we stayed at that was walking distance to anything, like all our places, not easy to find, but once you're there, you're there! Highly recommend!

Sunset over the sea
Cefalu is a beautiful, enchanting coastal town that has everything a holiday getaway needs. Angela's apt is perfect!! Close to everything, 2 mins from the sand and beach. Well appointed and tastefully furnished. Dinner on the balcony overlooking the ocean is amazing Thank you Angela. We'll be back!! Elisabetta e Bartolo. x

Sea Sky Suite Cefalù
Santina's apartment is perfectly located in Cefalu old town literally 5 minutes from everythng. There is a great terrace overlooking the sea which was great for enjoying a coffee or just reading a book. The street below is full of restaurants and shops but the apartment is insulated from any street noise. Everything is new and modern. It really was perfect for us.

The Balcony at the Pier
We loved this location! The charming and historic town of Cefalù was my favorite place I visited while in Italy. This home had the most beautiful balconies that overlooked the town and the beach, the sunsets were gorgeous to see from there. Everything you need is just footsteps away within the town. The host gave us great food and drink recommendations. This was a wonderful stay loved every moment.

verdemare in relaxation
Did not want to leave! This place is amazing with the lemon trees all around the property and your own personal beach a short and beautiful walk from the front door. Communication with the host was great, we ran out of propane for the stove and hot water heater and literally within 5 minutes the bottles were replaced. We had planned on traveling around the island but we ended up just using the BBQ every day and relaxing on the beach. If you see this place on your listings you need to book it now. There is an outdoor shower! I never even used the one in the house!

Casa Chiara
A truly exceptional Airbnb; the space has been very cleverly, thoughtfully and stylishly planned using high quality materials. It has been furnished and equipped to the best standards in design and function. The very pretty balcony and the beautiful lighting features complete the picture. In every way the apartment does justice to its lovely location on a quiet street in a beautiful, historic and vibrant town.

Dreaming of the sea
Salvatore is an excellent host - he helped us from the moment we arrived in town and was responsive, kind and helpful all throughout our stay. The apartment is located perfectly for the beach, restaurants and bars, and the old town area. Salvatore gave us a lot of recommendations from a locals perspective too. It was a comfortable stay, the listing had everything we needed. We would stay here again whenever we’re back in Cefalu!
