Guest Reviews

• Ambrozhich (10/5): -
• Kelly (10/5): Excellent séjour à recommander avec des enfants - L’accueil chaleureux et amical d’Umberto. Nous avons rarement eu un accueil aussi chaleureux. Bravo et Merci ! L’emplacement idéal pour découvrir le secteur (proximité de Cefalu). À 1min à pied du bord de mer. Parfait avec des enfants.
• Ian (10/5): -
• Julia (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit Pool - Der Pool war toll und das Appartement ist gut gelegen für verschiedene Ausflüge, zudem haben wir von Umberto viele Tipps für Restaurants und Sehenswertes erhalten. Bei Problemen hat er sich direkt gekümmert und war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Vielleicht könnte man noch ein paar Wassergläser und Frühstücksteller ergänzen, aber wir kamen auch so problemlos zurecht.
• Lara (10/5): Beautiful apartment, safe, clean and comfortable. - Umberto was so welcoming and helped us with useful information on arrival. The apartment was spotless and both double bedrooms had very quiet air conditioning making it easy to sleep. The covered terrace with BBQ is perfect and we spend loads of time there. The shower could do with an upgrade as has a curtain, but was clean and perfectly serviceable. The pool is salt water and wonderful after a day sightseeing. It’s only a 5-10 min walk to the train and two stops to the lovely Cefalú, so easy to get there for an explore. A few minutes to the beach, which is unspoilt and clean, but doesn’t have much in the way of facilities. There are a couple of beach clubs nearby. Don’t forget to visit the actual town on the hill above this place-we were lucky to be there for fiesta week and saw a free Gypsy Kings concert in the town square-quite something! It has some nice restaurants and is very pretty. Overall a 10 and would return. Only the shower really, but not a deal breaker al all.

• Ninfa (10/5): Relax, mare e piscina - Posizione strategica a due passi dal mare. Appartamento pulito, spazioso con terrazza panoramica. Piscina d’acqua salata spettacolare, tutto ben curato. Umberto fantastico gestore, ci ha accolti con calore e ci ha dato ottimi consigli! Niente
• Kamila (10/5): Było wspaniale :) - Amartament idealny dla rodziny 2+2 bardzo blisko plaży. Umberto bardzo pomocny i miły :)
• Janine (10/5): -
• Agathe (10/5): Petit appartement dans un environnement très agréable à 10 minutes de Cefalu - Très bon emplacement : à 2 minutes à pied de la plage et de la gare dans un environnement paisible à 10 minutes en train de Cefalu Très bel aménagement paysager bien entretenu intégrant une jolie piscine partagée Petit appartement fonctionnel ouvert sur l’extérieur avec balcon et salon de jardin en terrasse Accueil très prévenant et sympathique d’Umberto qui fait tout pour rendre le séjour agréable
• Guido (8/5): Schönes Apartment mit Gemeinschafts-Pool - Sehr gute Lage zum Strand. Schöner grosser Pool. Küchenausstattung gut. Jedes Schlafzimmer mit Klimaanlage. Die Bettwäsche war nicht sauber, im Badezimmer fehlen Haken zum Aufhängen der Hand- und Badetücher.
• Ulianova (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. The area is very well maintained. The pool is clean and comfortable. The beach is a 2-minute walk away. The owner is very welcoming and friendly.
• Kay (10/5): Easy walk to beach and station - Great space for 4 adults. Loved the terrace and the pool. Easy walk to train station for day trips to Cefalu. Umberto is very enthusiastic and responsive. Everything was great but the beds were very hard.
• Christian (10/5): marvelleous - Umberto is just a perfect host, gave us good addresses for lunch and dinner locations; kitchen was equipped well. close to the beach, both Cefalu and Palermo easily accessible via train. terrace with sea view and two cute palms. the saltwater pool is outstanding. the bathroom needs some improvement which Umberto promised to fix til our next stay.
• Asa (10/5): Amazing Time With Amazing People - Umberto personally met us at the apartment and went though all places to go to eat etc plus showed us around the apartment really lovely place and pool was great very quiet if you want some peace and relax Beach is a two min walk with a lovely bar sun-beds are very cheap 5 euro a day 😉 At Apartment very safe and secure with locked gates easy parking too as we had a car for a week. Will go back 1000% thanks 🙏 Sicily Is Wonderful Place And People Are So Lovely ☺️ None
• Niall (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the beach and station. Friendly host
• Marilyn (10/5): Exceptional - Umberto was a very good communicator and welcomed on arrival, explaining everything about the property and places of interest nearby. The flat had good wifi and A/C and a beautifully kept pool. It was close to the beach and the nearby town of Roccella, and also the railway station for Cefalu'. It was a lovely place to stay
• Jon (7/5): A nice stay, in a great location, some improvements would make it even better - Location to the beach and train station, Check in and information from umberto. Lovely pool (salt water) which was warm. Quiet area and lovely views Lots of ants, obviously an issue there with ants that could be managed better I'm sure. Bathroom a little dated, shower not great. Apartment above was cleaned at 10pm, which was very loud considering we had young children asleep
• Piotr (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, what is most important. The apartment was equipped with the most important needed items. We also got the baby bed as requested. Nice area around the apartment with a place where kids can run or play. Nice pool with deckchairs, and showers. Parking spots in closed areas. The beach is close. Only one, the shower in the apartment wasn't comfortable, small space, with a moderately cooperative curtain. But we weren't there for the perfect shower ;)
• Alina (7/5): Good - Nice Pool and ourdoor area, close to beach. Umberto was very welcoming and friendly. Always available for questions. He gave us some really good advices about the area and good restaurants. Car recommend, it's a 20 Minute drive to Cefalu. Private parking available. Interior was really old and not very clean. The shower was tiny and just hallway covered with glas so that the whole bathroom is wet after taking a shower. A lot of cats in the neighborhood. Don't leave anything to eat or your rubbish outside!
• Tomas (9/5): Relaxed and enjoyable stay at the sea and close to the montains - The apartments are well positioned for those who want to be in a quiet place close to the beach (about 3 minutes walk) as well as a train station, which is just 5 minutes walk and has a good connection (though a bit irregular) to Cefalu, Palermo and other places. This place is ideal for families with kids. If you have a car, you can also use the apartments as a base for trips to the hills and Madonie mountains in the south, with some fantastic towns and villages around. We loved the outdoor pool, a nice garden and a terrace, especialy in the upper-floor apartment. There's also ample space for parking a car, both on the street and on the property. And, most of all, the owner, Umberto, was super nice -- always available (also when we arrived), giving a lot of advice...and allowing us to stay longer on the day of our departure. Thank you, Umberto! Everything was fine and very well organised, :). In the lower apartment (with a capacity of up to 6 people), when the occupancy is at max, it could get a bit crowded at times.
• Paul (9/5): We spent a great week here. Our host Umberto was always available to us and his advice and help were invaluable during t - Loved the garden and pool area. The accommodation was bright and airy, cheerful. The apartment was easily kept cool during both daytime and night. There is a staircase from the garden to the apartment but didn’t present a problem at all. The little balcony area with table was great in the evenings to sit out and have some thing to eat and drink. Love the fact that it’s literally 1/2 minutes walk to beach. The only minor issue was the shower in the bathroom is a little small. Maybe the kitchen could do with some additional utensils. And perhaps a set of wine glasses. All minor things hopefully easily rectified
• Zozi (10/5): The place was excellent. - Umberto is a real host. He was waiting for us prepared with advice and tips. The accommodation is perfect, shopping is nearby. The restaurant (Casale Drinzi) recommended in the nearby mountains is a must if you want to eat well. The wild boar stew is excellent.
• Jorge Alberto (10/5): Un lugar de descanso espectacular - El alojamiento es tal como está descrito en la página de hoteles.com. El anfitrión Umberto está pendiente de recibir a los huespedes así estos lleguen tarde en la noche y de hacerlos sentir como en casa. La propiedad está a 200mt del mar lo que la hace muy conveniente. La piscina también es muy agradable y en general la propiedad está muy bien mantenida.
• Lindsay (8/5): Very good - the pool, close to train station and beach
• Sue (8/5): a warm welcome & provide with lots of useful information- we enjoyed our stay - spacious, comfortable and the area close to railway station shower curtain, no chopping board & kitchen crockery needs updating
• Abe (9/5): nice place - umberto is a great host with magnificent tips to visit the best places in the area, like eating fresh fish at nearby A Paranza (great value). apartment is nice and clean and well located. recommended!
• Edgars (10/5): Exceptional - comfortable, clean with an amazing pool! Umberto the host was the most polite and helped us with everything. absolutely nothing
• Tennebekk (8/5): Relaxing time by the beach - Excellent hosts and nice, spacious apartment. Great quiet pool area and just a stroll down to the beach and a gelateria. The beach was not crowded although it wasn't easy to get sunbeds at the beach clubs during weekends (they were not in use, but all reserved according to staff). Short train ride to Celafu, last train back is around 9 pm. Also ccount for extra time due to slow and sparse ticket machines. There was very little tools for selv catering (such as no cutting boards or a decent cutting knife, only 3 small plates and 4 glasses etc). Beach clubs played loud music past midnight, don't know is this was only during weekends. It was a bit disturbing to the peace and quiet. There weren't many restaurant within walking distance, so there were queues. Recommend booking in advance.
• Piotr (9/5): Superb - Umberto is the most polite and nice person I've met on Sicilia, offer polite, full profesional support, offer restaurants recommendation and is always try to be helpful, I really recommend!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fabulous property with every amenity needed for a self sufficient stay. Very friendly and professional Umberto met us and talked through the property and local area. Lovely setting with terrace,sun loungers, table and chairs and even a BBQ if needed. Great if travelling as had full kitchen and even a washing machine. Highly recommended with safe parking in gated property.
• Nigel (10/5): - Very good accommodation we stayed on the lower floor apartment which had a nice covered area (handy when raining ) and giving shade in sunshine . Location is easy walking distance to beach , local town Cefalù is beautiful. The owner Umberto speaks good English and is very helpful and friendly . I would highly recommend this property as it has everything you need you would benefit from a car as the surrounding area is beautiful .
• Diane (10/5): Incredible value for money and perfect location - Check-in and out were very easy. The hosts gave us a lot of tips on good restaurants, nearby supermarkets and what we should visit. They provided us with city maps and they even made a map of the neighbourhood themselves. The appartment is new and comfortable, very good value for money. Perfect location close to the beach and within driving distance from Cefalu and Palermo. The trainstation is within walking distance.
• Jenny (10/5): Lovely apartment in a great location. - Very hospitable hosts met us and explained the apartment and location. Close to beach and mountains with train station only 5 mins walk away. Beautiful Cefalu and Palermo both less than 1 hour away made this the ideal location. Well equipped property, could not fault it in any way. Would thoroughly recommend to anybody.
