Casa Tarzanà-Apartment in charming harbor La Cala
A great location to explore the old town. Great restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Also very near the harbour - we had a brilliant boat trip with Zyz Adventures. Would definitely recommend a trip out.

Cala Tarzanà - in front of the new Marina Yachting
Loved our stay in Palermo and felt right at home! Such a welcoming start to our trip with homemade treats and a bottle of wine. The elevator made it easy to bring up luggage too. Paola was such a friendly and responsive host. Def. recommend to stay here. 10/10!!

Devalu' house by the sea
The location couldn't be any better, overlooking the beach and port. Having balconies on three sides makes the space bright and breezy with the lively sounds of Cefalu streaming in from down below. My seven-year-old loved waking up "in a big white box" in the loft. The washer worked great and it was fun to hang our towels and laundry on the balcony in the Sicilian air. (My mother-in-law's mother grew up in Cefalu and said she used to dry her clothes on a smooth rock on the shore!) I didn't get to meet Francesco in person, but his instructions were very clear and he answered all of my questions within a few minutes. Of course, the downside of being so close to everything is you can't entirely avoid the street noise. The cafe downstairs goes hard up until 23:00, but then they shut down and it's quiet. The bathroom is a little tight if more than one person needs to use it. Overall, the amazing location and the views and the spacious living areas far outweigh any of the cons.

The sea in the old town
Thank you Vincenzo - your accommodation was perfectly located for our stay 🤗

Tinky's House. (Free parking Wi-Fi)
Tinky was great. Greater us, showed us around the apartment. The rooftop was amazing. He explained everything and was always available. Apartment right above a grocery store which was extremely convenient. Less than a 10 minute walk to the old city’s

Bivano Cefalù downtown 15 m from the sea - miniMEGA
Wonderful - Ideal for a couple. We were greeted by Ileana’s lovely father, Gaetano who made sure we had everything we needed and left a cold bottle of local white wine in the fridge for us. The place is perfect - close enough to everything, yet quiet and peaceful, away from the crowds. The apartment is a really pleasant space to just hang out in too. The June temperatures were divine, and you can make the most of the cool sea breeze with so many windows looking out across different picture postcard views. At night the ceiling fan worked really well and we both slept extremely well in the comfy bed. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Thymus - Casa Laurus Nobilis
We loved our stay in this beautiful, classic apartment. Alessandro was friendly and welcoming, there were lovely, over the top touches like having coffee, a lemon and garlic in the fridge as well as breakfast. The neighborhood is incredibly central, walkable to a seemingly infinite restaurant selection and many museums. We would strongly recommend Alessandro’s apartment in this beautiful city.

Casa dei Normanni by the sea in Cefalù downtown
We booked this apartment at the same time as someone else on another website so Rosalba reached out to offer the neighbouring apartment called “Normanni Dea”. It was great — really spacious, quiet, comfortable, well located, everything we could wish for. Rosalba also allowed us to check in early and suggested parking options which was very welcome given how busy Cefalu can get. We’d recommend without hesitation and will book again if we come back to Cefalu!

Tenuta Piana 1 with direct access to the sea
Viviana and her mum were great hosts and helped us in every way they could. The location is superb, within a few minutes walk from a very quiet beach. The surroundings are beautiful with olive and lemon trees all over the place. We had one of the most relaxing holidays ever!

La Vela
Wonderful town - great apartment - welcoming host!! I would recommend staying here!

Villa Villacolle
Roberto is a great host, he is very caring and supported us super with all questions. We always felt very comfortable. The house is in a fantastic location, with great views of the sea on every level. The highlight is the private access to the sea. The pool offers everything you need for a great vacation. Parking spaces are available on the property. We had a VW bus, a motorcycle and a small rental car with us. (and mountain bikes) The proximity to the airport was very convenient for us because we were there with the whole family and our children arrived at different times. A private car is necessary to be mobile. For us it was perfect because we needed about 50 minutes to the climbing paradise San Vito del Capo and could also go to Palermo. The distance to the most beautiful places in West Sicily can be reached in <1 hour. The residential area is very quiet and well maintained and we always felt safe. Thanks to Roberto

CASA BLU by the sea
Incredible little cottage next to the sea. You share a courtyard with other apartments that has direct access to the beach. The cottage has a private terrace overlooking the sea, where we spent much of our time. Just a wonderful place--peaceful and serene with a few restaurants and bars in walking distance. Maia was a great host who gave clear instructions and communicated well.

Beautiful Liberty Villa sul Mare
It wasba wonderful place and a holiday myself and my family will fondly remember forever. Giovanni was a great host

38 steps from the sea
Great for a couple of days right in the middle of Cefalu, so close to the beautiful beach. We had a hire car and parked at the port for free - Salvatore gave us excellent directions. Then he gave us the what's app for the electric shuttle buggy to transport us almost the whole way to the apartment - but still a short walk with suitcases and kids. Does get a bit sandy after a while. Great for our pre-schoolers as the beach is shallow for ages - a beach umbrella is provided but bring beach toys. Salvatore was fab and when I messaged about an iron, it was brought to me promptly.

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 :-)
Waterfront condo accommodation

Centro Casa historic center and near the sea 1
Communicative and friendly owner, provided all the necessary details, the accommodation was clean, and met our expectations.

Triskel Luxury Suite 46
Perfect apartment for our stay in Cefalú! The space was pristine, the amenities were gracious and the location was perfectly central. We were very comfortable there for two nights. Thank you, Pietro and Andrea!

Judeka 97
We had a fab time at Pasquale’s apartment. We loved the compact design and the fact that it was away from the immediate hubbub of the town. Loved the local restaurants, particularly the three up the hill looking out to the sea. Fabulous sunsets. We hired a car for the last few days and went on some lovely walks in the mountains. Parking was fine and accessible around the port area of Cefalú.

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

Cozy apartment with garden view
We wanted to explore the historic city of Palermo so chose this AirBnB because the location was perfect to visit so many places. It also looked stylish and comfortable with lovely outside views. We were not disappointed - and would return there to explore more of Palermo that we could not see this time.....not enough holiday!

Seaside apartment in the Gulf of Mondello
Staying at Enrico’s property was the best Air BnB experience I’ve had! He was so friendly, responsive and made so many useful and helpful recommendations. Enrico went above and beyond to make our stay most comfortable and easy. Aside from that, the property itself was the perfect location right on stunning Mondello beach with the most beautiful views. I can’t recommend Enrico’s property enough. Grazie Mille Enrico!

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.

SeaHorse House apartment historic center,near sea
We found Loredana and Filippos place to be like a home away from home! Spotlessly clean, excellent food recommendations, all sites walkable, and every need catered for (food, water, tv, toiletries, books, guides ect). If we’re ever in Sicily we will be staying again!
