Mansão a Poucos Passos do mar

The apartment is in the heart of the old town and close to restaurants and stores, the beach, and tourist locations. It was well maintained with a nice kitchen, washing machine, and interesting close drying rack. There is even an old well near one wall that is covered with glass but interesting to observe. The only glitch was with the AC which had a problem. Fortunately, with fans, space was okay comfortable. The AC should have been listed as "available" since reportedly there might be an extra charge of 5E a day for it and that was not clear on the listing. We enjoyed meeting Mauricio and he made good use of a translator to communicate from Italian to English.

Fantastic place and host!

We wanted a place to stay where we didn’t need to drive but could still get to everything we needed and staying in this house fitted the bill perfectly. Two minutes to the beach, bars, restaurants, shops and a nice walk to La Rocca and the street market. The house had everything we need and was exceptionally clean and tidy. An ingenious use of a fascinating space steeped in history. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay in a beautiful place.

This is a beautifully renovated old property in a picture perfect narrow Sicilian street just a very short walk to the beautiful beach of Cefalu. The photos show the apartment exactly as it is, what they don't show is the incredible attention to detail and the superb finish that the owner, Demetrio, has put into the renovation, it is superb. The eye for design and the sympathetic revamp reminds me of the Miniloft apartments I stayed in during a visit to Berlin. There is definitely love put into the work here. The apartment was spotlessly clean and all furniture and equipment were in perfect condition. It is very well equipped with all you will need for a self-catering stay in Cefalu. We cooked a lot in the apartment and the kitchen has all the equipment and utensils you will need - the owners have even provided plastic plates and cups for taking a picnic to the beach. There is also a washing machine which was really convenient for us as we were nearing the end of our 10 day trip to Sicily when we arrived in Cefalu so we got to do our laundry before we came home. There is also lots and lots of storage. The apartment is very well located in the old town and only a few steps from the beach. There are lovely restaurants located within 20 steps of the house and plenty more on the surrounding streets - you are really spoiled for choice. There is also a very good supermarket (Deco) located about a 15 minute walk away where you can stock up on all your needs for your stay and Demetrio has provided a cool little shopping trolley to make that shopping trip as easy as possible. The owners were wonderful from the first enquiry until we said goodbye at the airport. Making the reservation was simple and straightforward and Milena has perfect English so nothing lost in translation. Arrangements to collect the keys and pay balances went perfectly to schedule. Milena and Demetrio showed us how everything worked, provided us with information about where to go to do our groceries and tips for where to eat. They also made themselves available by phone if we needed any further information from them during our stay - we took them up on this offer several times and nothing was too much trouble for them. Demetrio even provided us with a transfer to the airport at the end of our stay. This apartment was definitely a gem and I would highly recommend it, in fact I am encouraging all my family and friends to go to Cefalu and to stay here, it is amazing
