"Nice location in the vineyard in the top of the hill. Great view to Lipari Islands. But terrible road to property and bad sound isolation between rooms. Our neighbor family with two child's laugh talking until midnight and then we heard baby crying until 2h. Excellent breakfast with real red orange "spremuta"."

"The property is pretty new"

"My wife and I stayed here in November 2025 along with another couple. As is noted in other reviews, the pictures don't do the villa justice and it is exactly as advertised. The road in and out (last few miles) is a bit difficult to traverse and renting a 4 wheel drive as suggested by the host is a very good idea. Other than that, the place is absolutely fantastic, including the location generally for touring around Sicily (in particular Palermo, Cefalu and surrounding areas). The villa is exceptional and fully stocked with everything required. Beyond that, the hosts (Paul and David) go above and beyond in every way, including facilitating everything you need for arrival, ensuring your every need is met and providing great recommendations for tour spots, wineries and restaurants (even making reservations). They are both amazing people and joined us a number of evenings for some wine around the outdoor fireplace. They also have a local chef they recommend for in-house dining - chef Bruno and his partner Giovanni and they are absolutely wonderful and the price is extremely reasonable (less than comparable meal at a restaurant) Probably the best meals we had in Italy were with them and we had them cook more than 4 evenings (would have been more but we did tour around a fair amount). Bruno also hosted a cooking class for us and it was brilliant. If you stay here having chef Bruno cook is an absolute must. Overall we can't rate the villa or Paul and David high enough. "

"Everything was amazing!!! Best place to stay!! 100 percent recommending to anyone asking for a stay in this area"

"The host was really welcoming and friendly. The owners were also there to welcome upon arriving. I had a wonderful stay. Beautiful property overlooking the sea. Nice room. Enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace daily. Thank you for a great stay. I brought my small dog with me and the owners and host were nice and welcomed my dog. During my staff there were two other people who stayed there, it was not noticeable. I enjoyed the pool. The first time getting there was a bit difficult as it’s hard to navigate through the mountains. Other than that, it got easier. I liked having to stay away from the crowd. It felt like a retreat. The parking is right in the property. Will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Cefalu. "

"Lovely place with great views. The staff were very friendly and the farm tour was a great addition to the stay. Would recommend!"

"El hotel está hermoso, la Alberca, el bar las habitaciones todo muy bonito y moderno. Súper agradable para descansar en la alberca, los camastros super cómodos Todo el personal muy amable No está cerca del centro de Cefalu pero durante el día hasta las 19:00 tiene un shuttle bus que te lleva y te regresa. Feliz regresaría a este hotel. "

"The drinking glasses were dirty most of the time. That was disappointing. The staff were lovely and pleasant. Dinner timings and options were limited. We were signature level and would have expected options for sea view, but those seemed to only be for the main building Food was okay. "

"The grounds are amazing. The food was good, with some really great options for breakfast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, nothing fancy."
