About this house rental
This lovely house – dating back to 1700 - is located in the picturesque historical centre of Cefalù, 100 mt to the sandy beach, in a quiet side street 30 mt from the main church “il Duomo”. It’s a traditional three-storey house newly renovated in the old fashion style, and it is unique in its simplicity: stone walls, terracotta-tiled floor and raftered ceiling.
On the ground floor there is the dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable bathroom; on the first floor there are two bedrooms: one with a double bed and one with a bunkbed; on the top floor there is the living room (with a bed-coach), a small bathroom and a lovely terrace, overlooking the sea, the old roofs and the “Rocca”, the well-famous mountain symbol of Cefalù.
It is the best for those who love enjoying lively resorts, but also – thanks to its ideal position – for those who want to relax and rest in the terrace enjoying some wine and a nice Italian meal, with a great sea-view!
All rooms have natural light, are well ventilated and look at lovely corners of the old town.
There is a washing machine, air-conditioning and fans; you’ll find everything you might need for your comfortable stay.
Not recommended to people with leg problems and loud groups.
The prices listed are for 1 to 4 people.
Free Wifi in the nearby square.
Extra services available on request:
- professional tour guide for nature and art itineraries, anywhere in Sicily
- transfer from and to any airport
- driver with car rental

Fantastic location 1.5 blocks from the central plaza. Melena is a wonderful host and made sure we were well prepared for the unusual traffic caused by the papal visit in Palermo. You will need strong legs for all the stairs but after our stay in cefalu, the rest of Sicily was easy!

Lovely, characterful old house. Excellent location, close to the Cathedral, café, shops and the sea. Fabulous views from the small terrace. Owner very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property and Cefalu itself.

Milena was a great host. Her communication over email during booking was prompt and helpful. On the day of our arrival in the country, we kept in touch via WhatsApp and she was waiting for us on time (in fact early) as arranged to give us the key. During our stay Milena invited us to send her any questions by WhatsApp, and she went above and beyond the call of duty when our daughter was taken ill, advising us which clinic to go to and even offering her services as a translator by phone if needed. Thank you Milena!
The property is not luxurious, but comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time on the balcony which has stunning views over the red rooftops of Cefalu to the bay as well as of the mountain. The apartment is in a really excellent location. Its a short walk from a main piazza and the cathedral, so seconds after closing the front door and you are in the charming cobbled streets of Cefalu with its lovely shops and restaurants. The beach is a very short walk, a huge win with small children.
The balcony and living room are very peaceful, private and not overlooked. The main bedroom has a window very close to the neighbouring apartments and I would describe some of the nearby households (forgive the stereotype) as exuberant! We didn't mind as we loved living the authentic Sicilian experience and we chose not to stay in a large hotel for this reason. But light sleepers may want to pack ear plugs, or sleep in one of the other rooms.
Cefalu is a beautiful town and we enjoyed a mix of beach holiday plus history & culture. The children built sandcastles and we also explored the cathedral, the temple to Diana, Roman baths etc. We ate like kings and the local ice cream is to die for. I would go back in a heartbeat.
