Waterfront holiday rentals in Cefalù

It was my second stay at Francesca’s lovely place. This time I was travelling with a group of friends. We all loved the apartment a lot. It is in a perfect location next to the harbour, which makes it walkable to all major sights and fabulous restaurants. Francesca is a great host where conversation was super easy. We will come back to Francesca’s place for sure. Thank you for all your help and that you made us feel like home in Palermo :-)

Thank you, Carlos! Carlos, went above and beyond! There was a train strike the day I arrived and he coordinated a professional transfer from the airport to his place. Carlos made two different dinner reservation for me while I was staying there. Both were fantastic and the views and food were amazing. I would definitely recommend. Cefalu was great!

Patrizia è una persona e un'host super! Cortese e attenta a ogni esigenza dei suoi ospiti con indicazioni e suggerimenti tempestivi e puntuali. L'appartamento è comodo, dotato di ogni comfort ed è posizionato strategicamente: colazione, panificio, mercato, il mare e tanto altro a pochi passi. Ulteriore elemento chiave è la vicinanza con la stazione dei treni che vi permetterà di raggiungere Palermo e le sue bellezze con agio. Assolutamente raccomandato! (Se arrivate in auto, attenzione alle indicazioni del navigatore: non sono sempre aggiornate, potrebbero non corrispondere alla viabilità!)

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!!

We had a lovely stay at Devalu! Our kids loved the loft beds and hanging out on the balconies in the evening. Really convenient for spending time at the beach. Parking is about a 10-15 minute walk or some shuttles are available.

Appartement idéalement situé dans le quartier historique, parfaitement aménagé pour 2-3 personnes et joliment décoré: une douillette cabane de pêcheur nichée dans le ciel de CEFALU! Le quartier est pittoresque, animé mais tranquille et à 2 pas des principales curiosités ( le roc, la plage, la cathédrale, ...). Laura est une hôte accueillante, dévouée et dynamique. Nous avons passé un séjour idéal 🤩😍

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

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.

We had an amazing time in the apartment! The place is even better in real life than in the pictures. The atmosphere, combined with the morning sunlight and evening sunsets, made it truly special. The view and the terrace are absolutely exceptional—you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the sea and the city of Palermo, especially magical at night. One of the highlights was being able to swim just steps from the apartment. Just a short walk down and you’re in the sea—such a luxury! A huge thank you to our wonderful hosts for their warm hospitality. They were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Knowing we were traveling with a little one, they thoughtfully prepared a cozy, sweet little bed with adorable bedding! The kitchen was very well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We also received a list of recommended bakeries, restaurants, and places to visit, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. Thank you again for everything!

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!

Très joli logement avec une vue imprenable sur la mer. Quartier très sympa, je recommande.

Roberto ist ein toller Gastgeber, er ist sehr fürsorglich und hat uns super bei allen Fragen unterstützt. Wir haben uns immer sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist in einer Traumhaften Lage, auf jeder Ebene mit toller Aussicht aufs Meer. Das Highlight ist der Private Zugang zum Meer. Der Pool bietet alles was man für einen tollen Urlaub benötigt. Parkplätze sind im Grundstück vorhanden. Wir hatten einen VW Bus, ein Motorrad und ein kleines Mietauto dabei. (und Mountainbikes) Die nähe zum Flughafen war für uns sehr praktisch, weil wir mit der ganzen Familie dort waren und unsere Kinder zu verschiedenen Zeiten angereist sind. Ein eigenes Auto ist notwendig um Mobil zu sein. Für uns war es perfekt weil wir ca. 50 min ins Kletterparadies San Vito del Capo benötigten und auch mal nach Palermo fahren konnten. Die Entfernung zu den schönsten Orten in West Sizilien sind mit <1Std. zu erreichen. das Wohngebiet ist sehr Ruhig und gepflegt und wir haben uns immer sicher gefühlt. Danke an Roberto

Our host contacted us immediately after our reservation was confirmed and made it easy for us to get home. When we got home, he welcomed us and explained in detail every part of the house and all the possibilities in the house. Paolo immediately returned to our message when we needed help, even making us very happy to bring us what we needed. The house was exactly as described and had a great atmosphere where you could sleep and wake up with the sound of the waves. It was very peaceful in terms of location. It was great to go to the sea in front of the house and watch the view from the balcony. Thank you very much to our host Paolo:)

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.

Meine Tochter hat mit ihren Freundinnen eine Woche in der Villa verbracht. Giovanni und sein Sohn Lorenzo waren bei allen Fragen stets erreichbar und haben sofort geholfen. Das Haus liegt direkt gegenüber vom Strand und die Mädchen konnten wundervolle Tage am Strand verbringen oder sich auch einfach auf dem sehr großen Balkon mit Strandblick sonnen. Vom Haus aus ist Palermo City mit dem Bus leicht zu erreichen und auch direkt in Mondello gibt es einige schöne Restaurants und Bars. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ließ keine Wünsche offen und es wurden sogar zu Mückeprävention Stecker für die Schlafzimmer sowie Mückenspray zur Verfügung gestellt. Insgesamt hat es den Mädchen sehr gut gefallen und sie würden immer wieder kommen:)

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.

Communicative and friendly owner, provided all the necessary details, the accommodation was clean, and met our expectations.

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!

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.

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

Brigitte’s apartment was wonderful. Located in the historic central area, 3 minute walk to the “heart” of Palermo the Quattro Canto., 7 minutes from Palermo main train station Centrale. Brigitte greeted us at the door. The 1st floor apartment had a balcony on a quiet local’s street that cars weren’t allowed on and which children were playing on. The apartment is on a pretty courtyard with trees and benches. Across the courtyard is a great restaurant that we dined at 2x. Very good food, excellent pizza and prompt friendly service, always busy, mostly tables in the courtyard. Sleeping was nice and quiet. This Airbnb was quite possibly the best appointed Airbnb we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many. Lots of kitchen staples, Nespresso, bottle of wine was left, very comfortable apartment. Would definitely stay here again, and we highly recommend it. Mitchell

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!

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.

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!
