About the location
Holidays in Cefalù give you a microcosm of the best of Italy. Whatever attracts you to Sicily, or even the beautiful country itself, you’ll find it in this coastal town whose character greatly overcomes its modest size. Whether you’re looking for modern metropolitan culture, to explore absorbing historical heritage or simply to settle in for long sun drenched days on luxurious beaches living the true la dolce vita, Cefalù has it all.
Situated on Sicily’s Tyrrhenian coast a short way east of Palermo and in the shade of the large headland La Rocca, Cefalù holidays offer something for families, couples and adventurers. From the imposingly grand Cathedral to the ancient Roman Baths there is no shortage of sightseeing opportunities, while families with younger children will love the long golden sandy beach. Couples will adore a leisurely romantic stroll through the cobblestone streets or walk to the top of La Rocca to take in an idyllic sunset before heading back into town and dinner at one of Cefalù’s many fine restaurants.

The hotel is 1 hour 30 minutes from Palermo airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

The bedroom had a beautiful view over Cefalu and was cleaned immaculately. The people on reception were well informed, on booking and during our stay. The waiters in the restaurant were so attentive and made our stay. The locally produced dishes were delicious. We hope to come again!

We had quite a disappointing stay at this hotel back in May. Jet2 had advertised this hotel as being close to the centre but we were surprised to find how far out it was. It is in the middle of a residential area, next to a hospital and college.
The shuttle bus was not made available to us at the time (in May). We found the walk to and from the beach and town to be really inconvenient; 15-20 minutes down steps and then through a one way tunnel also used by traffic.
The hotel itself was quite nice, breakfast was good. There was no pool service however and evening meals were expensive. We would say the hotel is ok for short breaks or overnight stays, but not weeklong ‘holidays’. Together with a very long transfer from the airport, not really our bag.

This hotel is an oasis of tranquility situated just outside the town of Cefalú. Every encounter we had with a staff member was a positive one - a great combination of professionalism and friendliness.
The hotel is spotless and the breakfast included is of a high standard with plenty of hot and cold choices appealing to those who like either savoury or sweet breakfasts. The selection of freshly chopped fruit and squeezed juices were a big plus for me.
The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room was spotlessly clean- as was the entire facility.
I only gave a 4* review however because our room -which appeared to be recently updated - had a strange layout. The bathroom is more or less incorporated into the bedroom. I prefer a totally separate shower/bathroom where you can’t see your roommate in the shower or brushing their teeth etc.
It is at least a 15 minute downhill walk into the old town and 20/25 back uphill, (not recommended for the elderly or infirm)
therefore it would have been great if the hotel had provided a shuttle in and out of town at appointed times, similar to the service which was provided to access their wonderful beach club. I was mislead by previous trip advisor reviews in which customers had mentioned the availability of this shuttle into town, so I was disappointed to be told it was no longer available. We spent €80 on taxis over our 4 day stay getting in and out of town. ( it’s €10-15 each way on average)
However, overall, we would definitely recommend the hotel especially for those who are fit and healthy!

My wife and I spent a week here for our wedding anniversary. Giulia, Rosanna and all the staff were very kind and gave us great recommendations for eating out in Cefalu. The hotel itself is a beautiful bolthole, with great views, a pretty easy 15 minute walk up the hill from the centre of town - just far enough to walk off your amazing dinner. A lovely hotel in a beautiful place.
