Pigna Blue Cefalù Apartment

Location and the modern decor Daniele the property manager was responsive and helpful.

Limited kitchen essentials, unreliable wifi, unpleasant odour, broken appliance (electric kettle) blocked drain in the shower, mould in the shower . It was inconvenient to have the keys to the apartment and the power on one ring. It meant that the power went off including the refrigerator every time we went out,

Posizione buona, pulito, potenzialmente comodo

Host non presente, contattato più volte per sapere del check-out e non abbiamo ricevuto risposta, solo una bella citofonata al mattino con le donne delle pulizie. Ringhiera per salire al piano superiore staccata (o meglio appoggiata al muro per sembrare aggiustata), viste le scale ripide, abbiamo rischiato ad appoggiarci per poi quasi cadere giù. Se ci fosse stata una persona anziana non sarebbe finita bene. I bagni sono belli, peccato per la doccia al piano superiore il cui miscelatore non funziona quindi si può unicamente fare la doccia fredda.

Pas grand chose...

L emplacement même si proche de la cathedrale il faut se garer sur le parking face a la mer: 25 euros/jour. La montée vers l appartement est rude surtout avec les valises. Temps estimé par l hote 5 a 10 minutes. Réalité 20 a 30 minutes. Sans se perdre. Appartement pas propre.. Nous n avions pas prévenu qu le canapé lit serait utilisé. Donc pas de draps prévus.. en ouvrant c canapé nous avons retrouvé un mégot et papier bonbon et du sable sur les coussins. L hote a été prévenu,le lendemain le nécessaire a été fait Salles de bain,il y en a 2. L équipement est vetuste,rouillé. On ne se sent pas chez soi..pas d accueil pas d eau au frais par exemple

The apartment itself is not bad in terms of layout and furniture. There are 2 air conditioners.

1. Internet - it gave us a big puzzle at the very beginning of the trip. It didn't work for about an hour or two after our arrival. Due to the constant power outage in the house when leaving the apartment, the router glitched and just didn't work every time. 2. Sand on the floor, rust on the plumbing. Dirty. 3. No knives or grater. Which is surprising for the homeland of great cheeses. Having bought watermelon and parmesan you will definitely be in a difficult situation 4. The apartment's location is complicated, the location of which is poorly indicated on Google maps, and the explanation from the manager does not help at all 5. No warning that tap water is not potable 6. Disgustingly old equipment. 1 TV does not work - you just do not see the screen, the second does not connect to Wi-Fi. The kettle must be kept constantly boiling or it switches off

Brilliant location, easy check in and clean facilities!

The WiFi did not work for the majority of the time. The bedsheet is the wrong size and kept coming off.

The location was the best aspect of this apartment - it was 2 minutes from the main square with the cathedral

There were several major problems, mainly with the post-booking process 1. We didn't receive any emails prior to our stay giving instructions on how to find the property. When we checked Google Maps on the day of arrival it couldn't be found! We texted and rang the host's number given but we received no answer. And this was on the day we were arriving. We tried to contact Booking.com but couldn't get through. 2. When we arrived approximately where we thought the apartment might be we rang the number and finally someone answered. We said we couldn't find the apartment as it wasn't on Google Maps. It rapidly became clear that the person on the phone had no idea of exactly where the apartment was, and he asked us, several times, to take photos of where we were. He didn't sound as though he was the host - more like a management company representative. Although we sent photos to him he still didn't seem to have a clue ... eventually we gave up and asked someone coming down the street who told us exactly where the apartment was. 3. It should be made crystal clear on the property description that the apartment can only be reached by climbing many steep steps and negotiating narrow passages. While this adds to the charm of the location it may prove very difficult for those with restricted mobility. There is similarly no car access to the apartment for non-residents, so we left our car in Cefalu station car park (10 euros a day) - be careful to park within the blue not yellow lines! It's an 11-minute walk.

Very central location - 2 mins walk from the old town square. Even though it was extremely central it was on a side street and was quiet at night.

The property was not very clean, at least when comparing to others we stayed in Sicily. Also there were no instructions on the wifi code, appliances etc. but we managed. The hosts instructions on how to get to the property were quite vague which made it very difficult to find it as it is in a small side road. In addition, it would have been helpful to inform us that even though its accessible by car, the property is located in ZTL (limited traffic zone) which means that not all cars at all times can get there without getting a fine. We found out the next day by accident that it was a ZTL, since the signs were all in italian only…

I liked everything very much, the apartments are good and clean, the most important thing is that they are close to the center. The apartment had everything you need, dishes and hygiene products

You have to go to the hill and climb the stairs.

Check in and out is via lockbox, so we could check in at our leisure. Daniele allowed us to leave our luggage there for most of the day after check out, which was very practical. Apartment’s location is in the town centre and close to the shops as well as the sea. 10/10 stay.

Nothing.
