Cefalù Design Suites

The location was central to beach and Main Street

Our room was on the last floor and there was no elevator so we had to carry our luggage up 3 flights of stairs in 90 degree weather. Additionally main room where breakfast was served was well air-conditioned but our rooms were not as cool as we would have liked.

Beautiful setting, whatever room you choose you’ll have an incredible view. We went for the one with a street view and it was lovely to see people strolling, and the “rocca” looks like it’s right outside your window. The room is modern but tasteful, and everything works perfectly. We were the only guests on that particular night so we had the little roof terrace all to ourselves for both sunset and breakfast (it’s in the shade!)

It’s on the pricier side and we wouldn’t have breakfast there again (at least in our experience but that’s maybe because we were the only guests), absolutely nothing wrong with it but there’s so much delicious food to try right outside your doorstep!

If I could give this property an 11 I would do so. We were a family of parents and two adult children with their spouses. The hotel was 3 suites around a dedicated eating/breakfast area and including a rooftop patio with a spectacular view of the ocean and the spectacular Cefalu sunsets. The host Ernesto was attentive, friendly and respectful. The rooms had the most comfortable beds of our Sicily trip by far and the rooms were beautifully and functionally appointed including a wonderful rain shower walk in shower stall. The views were lovely as well, with two of the rooms having sea/sunset views

The ONLY thing I can observe about the property is that the entry/exit from the 3rd floor setting includes a 54 step staircase that could be challenging for some people. This did not detract from the value for us however.

The location was fine once you reached it, in the heart of the old town. Our host Laura was delightful and helped all she could with guiding us to the property.

The real problem with the location is that you have to park some way away, then drag your cases through the streets and up steep stairs to the top of the building - far from ideal unless you are young, fit and strong
