Guest Reviews
- Tracey (10/5): - Beautiful view and close walk to town. East parking.
- tina (6/5): - Booked the property about 6 months ago, b&b advertised as included. On arrival, a packet of biscuits were pointed out as something for the morning, no breakfast so had to walk into town to find something adding an additional cost that we thought we had already been included. Average room and amenities, bathroom tired. We spent 3 wonderful weeks travelling around Sicily and this is the only accommodation we wished we had changed.
- Agnès (10/5): Parfaitement placé et au calme - Très calme. Jolie vue. Parking. Dans la chambre Levante, nous avions une cuisine avec un lit pour notre fille, une machine à café, des biscuits.
L'hôtel est vraiment à un petit quart d’heure de marche du centre historique de Cefalu, c’est à dire aussi près que si vous étiez garés dans un parking du coin .
Les lits sont confortables et la chambre est climatisée. Je regrette juste que la porte coulissante qui ferme la salle d’eau (avec wc) laisse passer tous les bruits. Mais je reviendrai dans cet hotel les yeux fermés c'est l’endroit idéal pour visiter le village et être au calme.
- Mark (10/5): Needs a outside tidy - Great hotel, i feel just needs more attention to make better, clean the weeds and garden/patio area.
- Susanne (8/5): Fantastik udsigt - Super dejligt, lille sted, med en fantastisk udsigt. Ca. 900 m. til den gamle del af byen, som i øvrigt er bilfri ( bortset fra beboere).
- Carli (6/5): Great views, but unexpected fees - We were charged an extra 50 euro to have 3 of us stay in the room. This was not posted anywhere on hotels.com. We specifically booked this room because it had an extra bed, yet we were charged to use it.
- Fay (10/5): - Beautiful area quite and easy walk to the city! Staff was great
- lynn (8/5): - Lovely views. Safe area. Parking. Clean. Out of town but easily walkable.
- Erik (10/5): A good stay in Cefalu - Very nice place with warm and frendly staff. Breakfast served on our own terrace based on requestform at arrival. Short walk to beach and a morning swim. Coffe served at the terrace when we came back. Beatiful view from terrace and nice rooms. Free parking in the street. Prior to our stay we were afraid it was a bit far from town, but it was only a 15-20 min easy and safe walk to the old city with good resturantes and lots to see. If you are looking for a five star pampering hotel choose something else. If you want a more personal stay with good atmosphere we higly recommend this place.
- Joe (4/5): - We had no hot water. We had mentioned it to the staff, they assured us it would be resolved but it never was.
- Cindy (10/5): - Supermooie en vooral schone kamer met fantastisch uitzicht! Centrum is op ongeveer 20 minuten loopafstand. Ontbijt wordt op je terras geserveerd.. erg leuk! Personeel is echt ontzettend aardig, gastvrij en behulpzaam. Heel erg tevreden!!
- Linda (8/5): - Great views easy to walk to cefalu. But soundproofing needs attention
- Daniela (10/5): - A Tonnara is a charming local bed and breakfast - our room was spacious and clean with a lovely terrace/patio out front that offered views of the sea. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, calling us a taxi from the Cefalu train station to the hotel property when we arrived. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast that gets served outside on your individual patio/terrace. We selected our breakfast choices (savory and sweet options available) from a menu the night before as well as our preferred time interval for the employees to set up the lovely display. Keep in mind that the B&B is about 15-minute walk from the historic Cefalu city center where the beach and cathedral are located. However, we loved that this was a slightly more isolated, quieter location and retreat from all the action. There is a main central road from the property directly to the city center that you can walk alongside while admiring views of the sea the entire time and it felt extremely safe and was well-lit at night.
- Jim (10/5): Texans in Italy - Beautiful view with friendly staff.
- Laurence (10/5): Vue splendide - Très agréable petite structure avec une vue imprenable sur la mer, propre. Le personnel charmant.
- Elena (10/5): - This property is beautiful, it a small family run B and B, they serve breakfast on your patio every morning which is delicious and filling. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. The view is beautiful and it is an easy walk into town, to the beach, and to restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations and offered beach accessories. I highly recommend staying at A Tonnara
- Maria (10/5): - Genial todo! Desayuno fantástico. Divino el hotel. Linda vista.
- Roz (8/5): - We enjoyed our one night at A Tonnara - we did find it a bit tricky to find and also, it is a full 20 minute walk into Cefalu. But, the view and the quietness of the room were wonderful and I can easily recommend it for value for money :-)
- Irena (10/5): - It was a lovely room. Clean. The staff are very nice. Breakfast on the terrace was beautiful
- Claudia (10/5): - This property went above and beyond, they served us breakfast and they made my girlfriend and I very happy
- Scott (10/5): - This property was incredible. Beautiful setting and very nice people , it was quiet and serene. Would highly recommend it
- Katarina (8/5): Nära Cefalu stad - Mycket god frukost!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente!!! La ubicación es perfecta! La vista, el desayuno, es como estar en el paraíso
- Peder (10/5): Fint läge - Fint läge med utsikt över havet. Gångavstånd till city och restauranger även bad. Fräscha rum och bra frukost.
- Anders (6/5): Peaceful place with nice staff - We were a bit disappointed of the distance to the beach as the photos implied it is closer. However a nice view of the sea.
Be aware that the breakfast is served room by room in 15 mins interval. We were last to check in and got our breakfast 09.30. It was too late for us as we should leave and move on.
The staff was very nice and supportive
- Antonio (10/5): - Bellissima struttura!
Camera Accogliente, vista mare meravigliosa!
Camera pulitissima e splendente.
Il personale gentilissimo,cortese e sempre disponibile a tutte le evenienze.
Colazione buonissima con tantissime possibilità di scelta.
La posizione della struttura è facilmente raggiungibile grazie a tutte le indicazioni stradali.
Sicuramente ritorneremo perché ci siamo sentiti come a casa!
Consigliatissimo!
Ci siamo trovati benissimo
- Richard (10/5): 10 out of 10 - Lovely place, close walk to town.parking available and great breakfast.
Would highly suggest
- Sandra (10/5): - Beautiful apartment away from centre of town but still a nice easy walk away staff were so helpful nothing was a problem breakfast is served to your room which was excellent and so nice to eat breakfast outside overlooking view of the ocean
- Devon (10/5): - The staff was most accommodating to our every request be it for a bedside light, multiple requests for directions, or double cappuccinos in the morning. It was a quiet respite in a busy touristy area. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
- Victor (10/5): - Super accueil.
Très belles chambres avec terrasses.
Bien situé. A 10min a pied du centre .
Super séjour.
- philippa (10/5): - Great visit! Superb staff and attentiveness. Very relaxing and peaceful.!
- Emmanuelle (10/5): Cefalù, sans la foule - Très belle étape au calme, légèrement à l'extérieur du centre historique, mais facilement accessible à pied.
Une vue magnifique sur la mer et la marina
- THEODORE (10/5): - Wonderful staff and delicious breakfast.
- Carol (10/5): - Fantastique accueil. Suite,vue sur la mer..
- Lysanne (10/5): - Very friendly and dedicated staff. Great “à la carte » breakfast delivered to the room. Great location, easily walkable to the city of Cefalù. A bit isolated but quiet and peaceful. Great set up with view on the port. Would feature without hesitation.
- YANNICK (8/5): - Chambre très simple avec un manque d'attention, bouteille d'eau...
Sinon bon emplacement et personnel très agréable, petit déjeuner top.
- Vivian (10/5): - This quiet B & B, overlooking the Cefalu port, is a comfortable place to stay. Parking and driving in the historic centre are challenging, so we preferred the 20-minute walk into town and the beach.
- Dawn (10/5): - Lovely views. Helpful staff. Walkable location into town. Great value for money.
- Paul (10/5): Bel hébergement avec vue mer - Super bel accueil… en français ! Vue mer et lieu tranquille.
- Kathleen (10/5): - A lovely B&B ! Staff very friendly and accommodating! Breakfast delicious and the view sitting on front patio was just beautiful! Easy walk into town.
- Mailys (10/5): Très bel hôtel - Séjour de courte durée mais belle surprise avec cet hôtel. Accueil parfait, excellente situation géographique, magnifique vue mer, bon équipement et petit déjeuner au top
- Graeme (8/5): - A bit further away fro the town than we thought (20 min walk) and ‘beach’ down some steep steps and a way away but a few decent restaurants 10 min walk away. Property was a bit basic but having breakfast served on our own little terrace, with good views across the marina was really nice. Nice and quiet compared to centre of town as well. Staff really nice and friendly. A nice little B&B.
- Steven (10/5): - From the moment we arrived we felt very at home due to Roberta and the staff there. Amazing views from our room and a delicious breakfast. We look forward to returning to Cefalu again.
- Rafael (6/5): - A internet não funcionou, a tv não estava funcionando e o chuveiro estava gelado quando tomei banho
- Jean-Philippe (10/5): - This was a wonderful find in a very quiet area. The rooms with terraces are amazing. You essentially get a second room.
Breakfast served on the terrace was delicious! Thank you Roberta and colleagues!
- Maria (10/5): Best view ever - View can't be beat. Room faces harbor. Location is off the beaten path, but close enough to walk to town. Service is outstanding. Room is spacious, however bathroom smells slightly moldy, but given dampness of area, is almost expected.
- Davide (8/5): - Il B&B si trova sopra al porto di Cefalù sul lato ad est del promontorio su cui si trova la Rocca a circa 15 minuti dal centro di Cefalù. Il centro è raggiungibile con una gradevole passeggiata con vista mare. Sulla via (chiusa) su cui si trova la struttura ci sono ampie possibilità di parcheggio per cui la soluzione è molto comoda per chi arriva in auto. Per arrivare alla zona delle camere/reception/colazione occorre scendere una scala. Le camere hanno tutte accesso su un davanzale (comune) vista mare. La nostra camera (Levante) essendo l'ultima è quella che godeva di maggiore privacy rispetto alle altre quando si sta sul patio esterno. Era disponibile angolo cottura e frigo, molto comodo per chi volesse prepararsi qualcosa in autonomia. La colazione è alla carta e viene servita sui tavoli vista mare nel piccolo patio di fronte alla camera, la qualità è eccellente e la ragazza che si occupa del servizio è sempre stata disponibilissima per qualsiasi necessità. Qualità del sonno buona, più che il treno che passa dietro il B&B (ne passano pochi ed a bassa velocità) bisogna avere la fortuna di non avere il vicino di camera che faccia la doccia in orari inopportuni perchè l'insonorizzazione con il bagno della camera adiacente non è proprio perfetta. Nel complesso è stato un ottimo soggiorno, nota particolare di ringraziamento al personale gentilissimo e sempre disponibile per qualsiasi richiesta.
- Dorine (10/5): Tolles B&B in Cefalu - Ruhig gelegenes B&B mit super nettem Personal. Schöne Terrasse, Frühstück sehr reichhaltig mit traumhafter Aussicht. Parkplätze vor der Unterkunft vorhanden.
- Janet (8/5): Overall ok but would definitely book other rooms w - We had room with no view so disappointing although private small terrace up flight of steps ok. Couldn’t plug in there kettle in kitchen area poor design. Probably ok when staying in summer but felt cold and no seating inside apart from bed.
- Antonella (4/5): Overrated and disappointing - Good points: nice view, lovely staff, powerful shower
The negatives: basic room, tv reception patchy and constantly interrupting, Wi-Fi range obsolete, a significant drainage smell in the terrace, train track less than 200 metres away and audible trains; overpriced; basic breakfast with undrinkable coffee
Won’t return.
- Coté (10/5): - La vue est magnifique. Très bien situé avec du personnel vraiment attentionnés. Adoré
- Camille (10/5): - Chambre suite superbe. Très confortable, et très propre. Personnel tres gentil. Bon petit déjeuner, servi sur la terrasse de notre chambre.
- Rachid (10/5): - Vue magnifique, personnel accueillant
- John David (10/5): - Beautiful patio and ocean view.
Very comprehensive breakfast choices!! Pretty walk into the old town and excellent restaurant recommendation.
Thank you.
- William (10/5): - Service was top notch, beautiful view, great location.
- Steve (10/5): Awesome B&B - We were greeted by a very friendly host who offered to make us breakfast to have in our room the next morning due to our early departure. This was very well received by us. She also recommended a great restaurant and booked us a table too. We felt very welcome and will definitely return. The room had a wonderful view of the cove and it could been seen from the bed. We will be going back as soon as we are in the area. Only a few minutes walk from Cefalu historic centre and idyllic position. The room was well appointed and very clean. Awesome B&B.
- Thomas (10/5): - The staff and the location and the breakfast. The sea view and harbor view are wonderful. The location is peaceful and within a 15 minute walk to the old town.
- Gordon (10/5): Loved A Tonnara - Great , very friendly and helpful staff
- Gary (8/5): Modern out of town stay. - Nice little holiday apartment style complex.
A short flat 20 minute walk for centre of Cefalu. There are 3 restaurants about 5 minutes away on the walk into the town. Al Faro is by far the best and most popular.
Room modern and stylish and breakfast buffet ok.
- Hugh&Anne (10/5): - This is an excellent B&B and Roberta and Giovanni who run it are brilliant. They are friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. They do not own the B&B, but have worked there since day one when it opened 5 years ago. Between them they do practically everything.
A Tonnara is spotlessly clean, has comfortable beds, a powerful shower, good continental breakfast, a good location and stunning views. Every room has it’s own private outdoor seating and dining area. The only slight negative is the railway line that runs close to the property, but we didn’t find this was a problem.
It’s an easy 15 min walk to the old town where there are loads of good bars/restaurants/shops. There are also a couple of restaurants about half way, if you don’t want to walk that far. The view of the sunset from here is stunning - take your camera!
You can walk to the long sandy beach in about 20 mins (some sections are private where you can hire sunbeds & parasols, but there are public sections too where you can just sit on your beach towel). The sea is wonderfully clean and clear around Cefalù and we swam most days.
I highly recommend A Tonnara and will certainly book again if we holiday in this area in future.
- Ayse (10/5): Romantic spot - Tonnara is a lovely B&B; our room was very comfortable with a little kitchenette, excellent shower and amazing view. Giovanni, Roberta and Rumira were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. We didn't mind the walk to Cefalu, it felt very safe and needed to burn calories after excellent meals. All the rooms allowed privacy yet it was also lovely to catch up with other guests at breakfast. We would love to return to Tonnara especially if they put loungers on all balconies, this was the only thing we felt lacked. It definitely is the kind of place to relax, read a book and watch the view with a glass of wine on comfy loungers :))
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Room was nice and good
Host was helpful , good thing is building had elevator
- KIKE (10/5): - Friendly staff. Great views. Modern place. Good breakfast. Few steps at the entrance. Good bed. Quiet.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A Tonnara and the staff are amazing and very friendly. I really enjoyed the views from this place. The location wasn’t right by the city center but it was a close enough walk of about 20mins. There is free street parking and free breakfast. The only thing that was annoying was the WiFi that wasn’t working for a couple days. Not a huge deal but we needed to help plan and look ahead for the rest of our trip.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good, small B&B with excellent view to the small harbour. Comfortable rooms.
Way to Cefalù is about 15 Minutes by feet.
- Daniel (8/5): Cefalu B&B - Nice basic place with great views and service. Based on the property's photos, we thought it was on the beach, but it's not. It does overlook a marina for boats used by local fisherman, and has a view to a rocky beach. Detected some sewage smell but it didn't detract from our overall satisfaction with the property. It's about 30 minutes from the city center and sandy beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best Place - The view from the private roof top was one of the best i have seen in any place I have stayed. Staff were so friendly and welcoming.
- Edward (10/5): - It is about 10-15 walk from the city center overlooking the harbor and away from the bigger tourist crowds. We had a beautiful ocean view. Lovely room. I highly recommend it.
- judy (8/5): Overnight - Comfortable room, good view, 15/20 mins walk to main sights of interest
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hilly terrain in Cefalu - We had an excellent stay in Cefaulu with its beautiful seascape. The staff were attentive and made excellent suggestions for what to do.
The room was perfect and the air conditioning essential as temperatures soared. Breakfasts were well done.
All in all, a great place to stay.
- Martyn (10/5): Lovely stay - make sure you book the suite - My wife and I spent a week here and have nothing but happy memories. I strongly recommend the suite, as it affords the most privacy, most sun as well as shade in the afternoon and importantly it has the most outdoor furniture.
Most people spent only a few days here on there tour around sicily whilst we just wanted to chill out mainly. Cefalu and the surrounding area is very nice and keeps you busy for a few days.
It is a true b&b in that there is no pool and only has 5 rooms with a simple but sufficient breakfast and very limited grounds beyond the rooms.
I would only recommend staying longer than 3 nights if u can get the suite. We were able to balance 3 days of pure relaxing outdoors by the room with 4 days of sightseeing.
Last word must go to the staff. Roberta and her colleagues were so friendly and helpful. I normally like a good moan but have nothing but good things to say about our stay at A tonnara.
- Debbie (10/5): Great location, just a short walk to town - We loved Tonnara. The staff were delightfully helpful with all aspects of our stay. The room was lovely,
Well equipped and very clean. The view from the deck outside our unit was lovely and tranquil, overlooking the marina and shore. It was great to be out of the town, but close enough to be able to walk to it easily. Alround it was a lovely
Spot to relax and enjoy the great weather. Thanks to all the team for a lovely stay!
- Miriam (6/5): Great hotel but not by the beach or in Cefalu town - Room and breakfast were great and staff lovely. We had thought that we'd be able to access a beach from the property but were told that the beach down the cliff was dirty as it was by the marina. The beach took around 20 minutes round a busy road to get to in the town of Cefalu. The hotel is not in the town. There are a system of one ways too which mean it's less hassle to walk. We were happy to walk to the beach and the town - no problem, but did think that there were lots of families/couples who would NOT feel the same way.
- Nancy (8/5): Good view - First night post flight--comfortable bed
- Verified traveler (10/5): A Tonnara is a Cefalu' Gem - We had a wonderful time staying at A Tonnara. The B&B was private, clean, and very modern. It has all the goods as a big hotel. It is on the Mediterranean Sea but there is no access. However, there are beach access points a short drive away. Giovanni was wonderful and so very helpful. You will not be disappointed.
- T O (10/5): Excellent!! - Great room. Outstanding staff. Beautiful location. Great breakfast. Parking easy and close.
