Cefalù hotels

Pros: Amazing all around. The staff was very accommodating, and the food was all homemade and some of the best we’ve had in Italy! Highly recommend!!

Pros: It was very quiet, in the countryside, very nice hosts Maria and Fabrizio, nice and clean room and delicious, home made meals! We will come back! It is the perfect place to relax!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Warm welcome, excellent home cooked meals, beautiful property

Pros: Maria’s cooking is exceptional !!

Pros: In the countryside on a hilltop very close to Himera museums and short drive to Cefalu Well tended and tasteful indoor and outdoor spaces. Immaculate garden. Maria and Fabrizio made us very welcome. They were considerate genuine and generous hosts. Their home and there approach to providing hospitality and meals for their guests displayed their thoughtfulness taste and skills. Maria led the team in the kitchen and they both provided a dinner and wine to remember. I trusted previous positive reviews from others and urge you to do the same. Make the effort and stay here like we did you will not be disappointed. A genuine highlight of our month long holiday in Sicilia.

Cons: Nil

Pros: It is sort of hidden away, but fantastically situated. In beautiful countryside with excellent views of the sea, but far enough away not to get wet. Clean, tidy and well looked after. One night is not enough.

Pros: Everything was just perfect!

Pros: Everything was just perfect. The house and rooms are amazing and very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner was delicious. I recommend to have dinner there - much better as in the touristic restaurants in and around Cefalu. Fabrizio and his wife are lovely. The stay is more like beeing in a friend's house as in a hotel. Terre Di Himera is one of the best places I have ever been! Thanks for the incredible days at your house!

Pros: If you want some peace surrounded by nature accompanied by good food, you found your spot.

Pros: Terre di Himera is a beautiful place with super hosts! The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The breakfast and the dinner is really special, homemade from local food, we enjoyed it so much! Maria and Fabrizio are so kind and helpful, they made us feel like home from the very first moment. They prepare not only the super fine food, but give advices where to go, what to see, where the best beach is... Their hospitality is heartwarming, we would happily come back!

Pros: Very good breakfast Beds Shower

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Spacious room with a kitchenette. Pool was good. Clean.

Pros: The location was just opposite the beach and near the old town. The breakfast was continental, with a good selection of cold meat, cereal etc. and all very clean and relaxed.

Cons: I actually enjoyed the cakes that were available for breakfast - a bit unusual, but when in Rome!

Pros: We had a lovely stay here, the staff were very friendly, the breakfast was great and the location was perfect. We had a lovely view of the beach and the town from our room. The rooms were very well equipped with cooking facilities if you need it. I would have no hesitation in recommending this place.

Cons: There is no bad points as far as we were concerned all good

Pros: Our suite was very spacious and very well laid out. We had a generous sitting area with a kitchenette. It also had a sofa which would double up as a good bed for one or two persons. The bathroom was next and was fully adequate with a large shower, bidet, WC and vanity area with toiletries provided. Continuing through the area, next was the bedroom section. The bed was comfortable and the bed linen was good. There was plenty of hanging, shelf and drawer space to keep everything neat and tidy. Finally, there was a balcony with a table & chairs which opened off our bedroom and overlooked the beach and the sea. The whole place was very nicely styled. There was a securely enclosed car park in the basement. Free wifi throughout. Very nice pool and a hot tub. Continental breakfast was included. The location was perfect and only a short walk to the old town and it's many excellent restaurants. We mainly dealt with Giovanni who was at Reception and he couldn't have been more helpful.

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Great location and parking. Friendly staff and with all the comforts we needed. Wonderful views too and we really enjoyed the space. Relaxing and near all attractions especially the beach and seaside.

Cons: Better coffeemaker.

Pros: The breakfast was not included so 10€ as an extra cost was asked. It is mainly a sweet breakfast as you can find it in Sicily, but seems to be more industrial than home-cooked. Hotel well located, close to the sea and the center.

Cons: Appartement is little basic but fonctionnal.

Pros: Location

Cons: Check-out time was 10am and check-in time was 3pm which didnt make a lot of sense. We arrived at 10pm and requested for check-out time to be slightly pushed back by an hour. Got asked to add extra for late check out to mid-day, and the description of the room is not accurate. Got an email prior to my stay that it will be a terrace with seaview, ended up with a room facing the opposite hotel and the garage...nice view indeed

Pros: position， facility are good. Reception is handsome and professional. If there is an opportunity to go to Cefalu again, will surely choose this hotel.

Cons: Check out time is 10:00 am, to a family trip with little kid is a little bit early. 11:00 or 12:00 is better.

Pros: We loved being so close to the old town of Cefalu. This made evening walks to dinner easy and enjoyable. The private pool was nice, although it was warm like a bath (92 deg F) which is maybe too warm. Being across the street from the Beach was wonderful. The staff was excellent and super helpful at all times, and being a "suite" hotel we were able to shop around the corner and keep groceries on hand. Another plus: super close to the train station, pharmacy, and laundry facilities.

Cons: For my taste, the pool was too warm. And at the price I paid, breakfast should have been included. There's not much else to not like about this place.

Pros: Great Location Friendly Staff Good breakfast Large suite

Pros: The property is well cared for and planned with a degree of attention to details that one does not see every day in commercial developments. The owner has clearly done the kind of job one would do on his own house. The view is stunning.

Pros: Stunning location for a relaxing break

Pros: Beautiful views, pool and helpful staff. Delicious meals.

Cons: Mattresses and pillows need improvement.

Pros: Everything from the warm welcome you receive To the beautiful place itself, the stunning views and the excellent pool. Very tastefully done and extremely relaxing.My only regret was that we didn't stay longer. If you need the town of Cefalu then it's a 10-15 minute drive away.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Place, landscape, swimming pools and owners were perfect.

Cons: Breakfast was light, with limited cake.

Pros: Everything perfect,

Pros: Lovely location on a hill with a beautiful view, only 10 min drive to Cefalu center. Very nice pool and we were allowed to stay after our checkout to further relax before continuing our trip. They provide lunch, which is homemade and tastes delicious

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Pros: Everything was perfect

Pros: Good location if with a car. Nice usable pool! Good breaktfast. Nice hosts. Beautiful residence. Thank you! The only place in Sicily I could rest!

Cons: Mosquito infested room.

Pros: It’s a few steps from the beach, right at the beach walk but just after the tourist commotions ends. Only 5-15 min walk to all restaurants. Perfect if you want to visit Cefalu but want to stay just outside of the buzz. Great breakfast, very nice owners. We loved it here!

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Excellent location, parking on site, 10 minute walk to all major sites and restaurants. Host was very helpful with touring tips. Very good breakfast.

Cons: We stayed in the separate bungalow, which was nice and spacy, but the wi fi did not work there.

Pros: Perfect breakfast - any kind of fruits, salami, cheese and fresh orange juice. Near to the beach. Free parking space. Perfect English of check in and out ladies.

Cons: Construction works in this time of the year - wake us up at 7.00. They clean the room, but not change the towels. No moving shower head. Only one terrace for whole floor.

Pros: Extremely friendly staff and very helpful introduction. Very clean. Lovely breakfast. Nice and quiet. Good parking.

Cons: Room small for two Hard bed Air con not great

Pros: The property is really nice and Daniela, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. She took the time to explain everything we had to know about Cefalu. She gave us a map with a very detailed information where to go, when to go, and how to get there. She speaks fluent English and has great communication skills. A real gem!!! The Bed and Breakfast is confortable, very, very clean and with a great view! The location is perfect and the parking secure just in front of the building. Excellent breakfast. Thanks Daniela for taking care of us!!!

Cons: Nothing! Perfect place!!!!

Pros: Close to beach and restaurants,wonderful staff, parking at facility. Room was very nice, clean, comfortable, nicely furnished, good bathroom . We had not had time to pick up beach towels on arrival and they very kindly loaned us two. Breakfast was good with wide variety. Lovely stay and would definitely return and recommend to friends.

Cons: There is nothing not to like at this property

Pros: Daniela is very welcoming, friendly host! Thank you for organising everything and your breakfast was amazing! :)

Pros: Fantastic location. Excellent breakfast. Daniella a wonderful hostess. Loved staying in the little bungalow. Lots to do in the area. It

Cons: It was perfect.

Pros: perfect breakfast, very nice and kind people, thanks a lot to Daniele

Pros: Nice hotel. Nice Staff. Off-season, so the terrass was closed.

Cons: The breakfast could be better.

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helppfull. Hotell was in a quiet area clean and equipped with nice terrace.

Pros: Very friendly staff and very comfortable rooms

Pros: Very clean and tidy

Cons: It was really a bed and breakfast with the manager living elsewhere. This was not good when frequent issues arose. It would have been useful if booking. com site had all the information. We left after 2days of our 4 day booking.

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The location was fantastic. Close to the beach and the old town. The grounds are lovely. The room was spacious and v clean.

Cons: Not applicable.

Pros: Fantastic location, very close to shops, beach, restaurants etc. Exceedingly helpful staff. They gave us fantastic food recommendations and were available to help with anything. A great stay in a lovely apartment.

Pros: Our young hosts were fantastic,so helpful & friendly! Location perfect & a terrace with views, breeze & sunset to die for ! Wishing Anna& Antonio much happiness on their wedding day

Pros: The property is right in the center of town. We liked the view from the terrace at the back because it was overlooking the sea but the view from our balcony was overlooking a narrow street so the view was very limited. The city was very crowded because of the high touristic season but restaurants are a few paces from each other.

Cons: We didn't like the idea of being a 70 years old couple having to go up to the fourth floor, climbing up 70 steps with no lift available. This was not written anywhere in the booking advert. We had to stay out in the hot sun to save the fatigue of going up and down the stairs. Apart from that, we had to park in the port area and were charged €8 for a 2 minute ride to the hotel. In fact it took us only 10 minutes to walk back to the car.

Pros: Renovated, air conditioned and on the right street with sea front on one side

Cons: Parking a car needs to be done outside the old city but it is a common issue in cefalu

Pros: This is a truly amazing property! - very beautiful and well maintained. Owners manage it themselves, so every detail is perfect. The location is superior, right in the middle of the village, very close to the beach with many shops and restaurants all around. Even though the property is in the center, it is super quite. They have a spectacular terrace with a breathtaking view and the breakfast there is a must ;o) We stayed their with out 4 year old daughter and all of us loved it. We highly recommend this property for everyone - for families or for a romantic get away!

Pros: The staff were really friendly, generous and helpful. The hotel has a gorgeous little balcony overlooking the ocean. The rooms were spacious and clean. Casanova was in a great location close to many shops and restaurants.

Cons: Parking was a bit hard. However we learnt that there was a shuttle service from the port to the hotel for only 4 euro which was really convenient. There was also no elevator but staff gladly carried our bags up for us.

Pros: The recently renovated rooms were looking nice and clean. Breakfast is served outside where you have sea view:-) Anna and her huisband did everything to make us feel welcome and they were so sweet to our baby! The location is just perfect. I highly recommend this place!

Pros: Fantastic place , great location , amazing couple . They helped us so much . They recommend you the best places of Cefalu . Clean rooms , marvellous view and small cosy terrace to have a glass of wine . Highly recommended ! Dont hesitate dont think twice ! Arrivederci ragazzi ...

Pros: Beautiful view and the room was spacious and fresh

Cons: You can hear a lot of what is going on in the common area from your room specifically at breakfast time

Pros: Everything! The service was amazing, the 2 hosts are a cute couple that does everything themselves! They have great recommendations for restaurants and programs locals like to do! The view is Waw!!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff were excellent and always happy to help and the facilities of the hotel were great. I had a facial done and it was super relaxing highly recommend! Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. The pool was beautiful with loads of comfortable chairs. David looked after us so well at the bar, thank you. There is a van that takes guests to the hotels private beach where you get towels and chairs at no extra cost. Cefalu centre has plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again at this hotel!

Cons: Two nights during our stay we didn't have hot water, it came back later that day and reception did offer us to move rooms. The laundry took 48 hours to return our clothing which was a bit inconvenient. We stayed at room 104 and we are sure there was a leak somewhere as the floor was wet one morning.

Pros: Great breakfast. Great views from restaurant. Good shuttle service to town and beach. Lovely plantings, and lovely decor in hallways and outside....antiques, etc. Very nice bubbling massage in attractive pool. Quiet location away from town and beach.

Cons: Pool is shallow, without a deeper end. Lobby decor is not as nice as the hallways, restaurant and outside antique decorative elements.

Pros: Swimming pool and common areas of hotel were very nice Breakfast was good as was commitment to little plastic and local food. Reasonably quiet Bed was very comfortable

Cons: Surrounding area is not very attractive - could have been made clearer Rooms are very small - even prestige one Bathroom was tiny. Very expensive for calibre of room

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, the surroundings as well. The hotel has so many green and beautiful views to the beach that you feel joy and relax. The dinner at the hotel very good. The pool is a top. I want to return.

Cons: The shower tended to leak into the floor so all the bathroom was wet. That would be the only thing we recommend to check.

Pros: Shuttle services to the town and beach are included. However, the last service is quite early at 18:40. The location is otherwise a 20-25 minutes walk from the city center

Cons: Unreasonably overpriced compared to its sister Hotel Le Calette

Pros: Exceptional customer service, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Hotel, rooms, gardens and pool kept sparklingly clean, and the choice at breakfast was amazing. To top it off there’s a private beach with sun loungers included, and free minibus transfers there or into the old town. A thoroughly pleasant and relaxing stay, and all the staff there should be very proud of the high quality service they provide to their guests.

Pros: Better than expected and surprisingly good for value

Pros: Great location, fantastic facilities and friendly and welcoming staff. Angela at the front desk when we checked in was fantastic, she made us feel like we were at home.

Pros: From the moment we approached the front desk and were greeted by Angela and shown to our room we knew this hotel was special. Cannot fault anything. The staff were attentive, the room clean, Eco friendly, location perfect, pool area and surrounds serene and the restaurant served tasty a la carte Sicilian cuisine. The staff at the Restaurant were attentive our waiter for the evening Gaetano was very knowledgeable about the wine list and we enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Nero D’avlo with our dinner. Upon learning it was my Birthday the staff surprised me with a Birthday Cake. We would definitely be recommending this hotel to family and friends and if we get a chance to visit Cefalu again this is were we will be staying. Thank you so much Angela and all the staff for making our stay a memorable one.

Pros: Breakfast was good and staff were nice

Cons: The place needs renovation. Our room was old with a very tiny shower. The hot water kept coming and going while taking a shower. For the price we paid, we expected for more...

Pros: The property is clean, comfortable and relaxing with panoramic sea view

Pros: Quiet with beautiful clean comfortable rooms with an amazing host, who gave us the best advice of where and what to do. Must have car, but good parking available. Secure. Host served Sicilian delights for breakfast with enthusiasm and outside in a beautiful surrounding.

Cons: Nothing. It was everything we had hoped for travelling 12 days by car around Sicily.

Pros: An amazing experience. It was our second time at this property and will be back for sure. Great hospitality and a great service. Property is very clean and well kept. The owner, Francesco, is very friendly and always ready to help. Grazzi hafna u nergaw narawkhom!

Pros: Everything was great! - Good Sicilian breakfast - Nice host - Beautiful room

Pros: Everything was great! Nice property with small but comfortable room, terrace and a stunnig view to the sea. Great hosts and nice and freshly prepared breakfast. We would come back again if we visit Cefalù in the future. Thanks!!

Cons: Very small shower cabin. For us no problem but maybe for bigger persons.

Pros: Unexpected two nights of calm, piece, view, super friendly and helpfull host, very tastefull breakfast with fresh pancakes or eggs (prepared as you wish). Fully equipped kitchen and public area available the whole day. Thank you!

Pros: Everything! Beautiful place, immaculate, great view. Francesco is an outstanding host, and gave us a wonderful introduction to Cefalu. Anna prepared an excellent breakfast for us. Highly recommend this outstanding place.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: A beautiful place to stay!! The rooms are not too big but have everything you need. The hosts are very nice and provide a lot of advice. Anna greeted us and made us a very nice breakfast every morning. And our personal highlight: the view!!! Just spectacular! Great ocean view, one of the best views I’ve ever had while having breakfast :-) also the property is very green, our baby had fun crawling on the grass.

Cons: We liked everything!!

Pros: This was the perfect accomodation with very nice hosts Comfortable room and good breakfast Very friendly to our young girls

Pros: Beautiful, great pool and private beach access and sun beds. The room was lovely. Friendly staff.

Cons: The air con want strong enough for the hot days and nights. In Saturday night they have a club night near our room and it was s very loud and we could not sleep.

Pros: - The architecture, design and location of the Hotel are just outstanding. The nature surrounding the hotel is seriously from another planet: mountains, woods, open sea view. Then gardens across the hotel are also impressive. - The breakfast was one of the best ones I had in a hotel. - The location is at 5 minutes distance by car from the historical part of Cefalu

Cons: We had found the restaurant for lunch time a little bit over price and not of very good quality. Mainly comparing with the very high level restaurants we found in the City of Cefalu. The dishes were not abundant (one day I asked for a pasta and I believe had to little prawns only inside) and choices were not our style (trying things I ended up by mistake asking for a soy pasta that looked more to chinese nooddle, extremely wired for Sicily). I believe that setting is much more ready for drinks in the night rather than for full eating. However, a higher quality restaurant could enrich the premises of the hotel.

Pros: Good views of the bay, good pool

Cons: Garden villas are very dated, worst of all is the smell of damp. For the price we paid (albeit in August), this was pretty bad. Relieved we didn’t commit to more than 1 night.

Pros: The hotel and grounds were really well designed with lots of different places to relax, sit by the sea and enjoy a view. It never seemed too busy or crowded (probably because the grounds were so nice). Our room was very modern, clean and spacious and felt very private. I never sleep well on holiday but the bed was very comfy, curtains to keep the room dark and quiet. Breakfast was served in a beautiful spot and had everything you could want. Great location, only a 10-15 minute walk into Cefalu - which is fantastic for food, drink and exploring.

Cons: Prices for drinks and food was quite expensive (to be expected) but it's not far from Cefalu with lots of choice for food and drinks. Service at breakfast was quite slow in terms of replenishing plates, food but a very minor complaint.

Pros: Breakfast on the terrace is great, the views lovely and a good choice of food is available. The pool is great too and if you fancy a dip in the sea there are plenty of sunbeds available right by the beach. The staff at reception are really helpful. It's about 80-90 minutes drive from Palermo airport and free parking is available on site.

Cons: We stayed in a family room a little away from the main hotel. It was nice, however both our bathrooms (we had two) were a little dated in terms of tiling and furniture. Not a huge negative but the bathrooms were not to the standard of the rest of the hotel. The walk into town will not be to everyone's taste I imagine. You do walk through a very small industrial area and then up a hill. We did it every day, but town is a 10 - 12 minute walk and it's hot (hopefully), so be aware if you don't mind breaking into a light sweat. The shuttle goes a little too early in the evening if you like dining around 8pm +. Again this is not a big negative in my view. Taxis are available at about €10 each way.

Pros: Very private yet close to town. Amazing pool and private beach access

Pros: Everything. It was amazing.

Cons: Nothing. It was absolutely perfect!!

Pros: The Cove was beautiful and the views from the pool were magnificent. The shuttle was a gd facility into town.

Cons: We were charged additionally per night for a bed for our child in a family room. Considering the initial price this was disappointing. The Garden room had an any infestation and was small. We were also charged for any extras, to do yoga, use a bike or go out on a paddle board or Kayak. All other 5stars we have stayed at provide these facilities for free. The hotel has no gym onsite and for a 5 star hotel this is disappointing. With my family I did not want to travel to another site. Although the hotel provides a shuttle into Cefalù it finishes at 18:20 in the evening and some parts of the walk home are not pleasant if you were alone.

Pros: Loved everything about it!! High level of professional service, gorgeous facilities and backdrop, amazing views, beautiful pool and beach area- lovely breakfast lunch and dinner options and setting! We stayed in a small villa( 417) and loved everything about it! Would go back and/or recommend it in a heartbeat!

Cons: Not a thing. It’s a short 5-10 mi Ute cab ride to town (10 euros each day) but nice to be away and also the beach area backdrop of the coves is spectacular.

Pros: All is excellent! Great location

Pros: A beautiful, picturesque location with a sea view. We got a room updrade and an amazing apartment with a terrace from where you can perfectly see the sea. There is a little stony beach 5 min away from the place if you go down the hill. Very good breakfast, good coffee, cheese, ham, eggs, as well as sweet things (cake, jelly, cookies, etc)

Pros: Quiet place in nature with sea view, very good breakfast and they sell own olive oil :). The room was small but we just sleep there and around is wonderfull sitting area

Cons: nothing

Pros: The staff was super friendly. The location is nice and quiet, the view for the sea was more hidden than I expected.

Pros: We stayed only one night but would have liked to stay longer. Large room with a well-equipped kitchen and nice sea view from the balcony could be nice for a longer stay. The rooms are located within olive and other trees, very relaxing and private. Easy to park on the property, just a short ride outside of Cefalu.

Cons: We liked everything here. Recommended if you have your own wheels.

Pros: Fantastic view, host and breakfast ! Thanks a lot !

Pros: Nice view from the terrace. Good breakfast.

Cons: Some small things have to be repaired and changed. Shower head, door handle, light in terrace, shower drenage. You need a car to reach Cefalu.

Pros: Large, clean room, nice breakfast and great view. The owner was very friendly and delivered the diner in the evening so that we did not have to drive into Cefalu again in the evening.

Pros: The sea view is very beautiful, the host Yolanda very helpful with tipps for parking in Cefalu and the food in their own restaurant in the old city was delicious!

Pros: Ambience and view.

Cons: Google maps struggled with location, so it took us some attempts to find the property,

Pros: Maria the owner is very friendly and makes an excellent cappuccino.

Pros: This bed and breakfast was very cute. We stayed at the worhol room. It had a nice balcony facing the street. The room was a great size as well as the bathroom. Everything was clean and the hairdryer worked well. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and well organized.

Pros: The host is very friendly and down to help you with any information you need. The place couldn't be located any better, just a few metters from the old town.

Cons: The breakfast was a bit poor in terms of choices.

Pros: Slept well, very nice accommodations. The balcony was lovely!

Cons: There was a special, unpleasent odour of the air-conditioning.

Pros: The place is perfect: beautiful house and garden, very friendly host, spectacular interior in traditional Sicilian style, breakfast with a view and goof eat.

Cons: If you haven’t a car, be ready to go upstairs. House is located at the base of mountain

Pros: great location and breakfast

Pros: We loved the local style of the accomodation and how close it was to everything that we needed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, we would happily stay here again.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice bedroom and friendly staff

Cons: Poor breakfast choice

Pros: Clean, friendly, intimate, best breakfast in Italy so far, good location if you arrive by train or coach (but not next to the beach)

Cons: Water pressure in the shower not exactly great.

Pros: Great location, ten minute walk to the old city. Good room, great view.

Cons: We liked everything but there are stairs to the room if that is an issue, and it is a cash only B and B.

Pros: It was close to the beach and the apartment was ready for us when we arrived. It was spotless and air conditioned.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The view was lovely, informative host

Cons: More than a mile walk to the old city (closer to the beaches); room was cramped with no comfortable seating, just two wooden desk chairs; a huge, unneeded wardrobe took up all the space; expensive for what we got; mediocre breakfast, not up to the standards of our nine other Sicily BnBs

Pros: Apartment was clean and very close to the beach however I believe that it was a little overpriced. Having said that we knew price beforehand. Breakfast was good .

Pros: Location is excellent. You park and walk to wharf. There are restaurants and natural beauty galore. Loved this place.

Cons: Stairs. Quite the climb with luggage.

Pros: very spacious, nice terrace with great view over the beach

Cons: parking is a little limited.

Pros: Very quiet comfortable room, at the back of the house, with a view on the distant sea. Very friendly staff, very helpfull. Lovely breakfast.

Cons: Distance to historic centre, B&B lies along a very busy road.

Pros: We are very grateful to the owner of the apartment Jack for his help with the transfer to Palermo. The location of the apartment and the sea view are excellent.

Pros: The location was great, you could easily walk to the beach and the old town. Our room had a sea view and was very spacious.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great people and a lovely stay!

Pros: The goats.

Cons: Swimming pool costs 10e a day, it is not a normal price in small family business... The sheets were hundreds years old. It was not very clean. Driving to this place requires 4x4 car.

Pros: The location is basically in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, so lots of nice views on the way there from Cefalu, but it is definitely not a location for people who like the liveliness of the town of Cefalu or want to be close to the beach. We didn´t mind, because it was a 10-15 min drive, but it was quite a nightmare with parking around Cefalu (we were there in high season). The room was nice and clean, breakfast typical for Sicily.

Pros: Wonderful family who run it, very helpful. Lovely rural setting. Our stay was very brief but we would definitely return. We were recommended to walk up to the top of the rock which was probably one of the highlights of the trip to Cefalu.

Cons: Nothing at all to do with Arcobaleno, only a suggestion to other guests... when using the navigation system on your phone or Tom Tom... look carefully at the route they choose as it can take you (as it did with us) on a very very small and winding road instead of the main road to the property. We were coming from Agrigento. There is a principal road and Arcobaleno has a great sign outside the property.

Pros: The owner was nice and helpful

Pros: This place is situated away from the crowdy center, close to the nature and owned by nice people. Very quiet, green and relaxing place.

Cons: Everything was OK!

Pros: Wonderful location. Many cats. Terrace in front of the room.

Pros: Very nice people and clean room.

Pros: Beautiful place in the middle of wunderful nature. We come back

Pros: Location was fantastic, staff were all extremely helpful.

Pros: Amazing location for exploring Cefalu, great breakfast and very friendly staff. The remote parking is great, with a taxi service provided to take you to the hotel.

Cons: Nothing to mention

Cons: When on holiday you like to have a good sleep but when the pillows are hard and nasty and the air conditioning is not working and noisy and its 34oC outside you wake up very grumpy from the bit of sleep you catch. plus the standard rooms are very compact, they even gave us another room for the second night which was just as bad with pathetic air conditioning. I think the owners control the overall temperature of the AC for economic purpose. Also the shower must be the smallest I have ever used it wasn't a pleasure getting ready to go out.

Pros: Staff was very nice and helpful

Cons: Our room was the smallest room I have ever had. Very uncomfortable, only place we could open our suitcase was on our small double bed. I would not stay in this hotel again

Pros: Excellent location. Staff very friendly and helpful

Pros: Very clean and in a great position

Pros: Breakfast was simple but everything we like .

Cons: Can’t think of anything to be honest . If I was being moaney , then maybe the cold water in the shower could have been more powerful. Not an issue though .

Pros: Cool, comfortable generous size rooms in traditional setting, right in the middle of the old town Cefalù

Pros: The Hotel is located in the old city where all attractions / restaurants are very close. The hotel provides free parking outside the limited traffic zone with free taxi service to and from the hotel.

Pros: Excellent location for sight seeing, restaurants and shops. Comfortable bed and great strong shower pressure :-) Staff were very helpful we drove from Catania and parked in the designated car park as instructed beforehand. Taxi arrived within a few minutes of us calling on the gas phone.

Cons: Our room was overlooking a side street, and was very noisy early morning with waste trucks emptying bins and very rattle as bottles tumbled into the trust. Shouting from men operating the truck also didn't help and this was early around 5.30 to 6.30 not good. Request a room the other side of the hotel!

Pros: Great location, friendly staff , heaps of restaurants to pick from and clean beach

Cons: Room size small

Pros: We had a one bedroom apartment and it was fantastic, very large and comfy with a balcony.

Cons: Location was ok but could have been a little closer to the town, it was a good 10 minute drive and there was nothing around the hotel. And I wasn’t impressed with the private beach it was shared with a lot of others and you had to get a lift down there then walk another 10min.

Pros: Staff were excellent. Hotel spotless

Cons: Too far out from amenities. Shuttle bus was only available couple times a day and last one was 5.30pm. Far too early in my opinion. Taxi fares cost us approximately €30.00 per day

Pros: Sea view, breakfast,

Pros: The bed was the best we had the whole week. The breakfast was spot on and the location was good.

Cons: Everything was spot on. The only disappointment was the view

Pros: Extraordinary stay. Staff top to bottom were exceptional in every regard. A real delight. Restaurant excellent Cannot day enough good things about this wonderful place.

Cons: Please change over to Light white Cotton sheets - not flannel please!!! Maybe get dimmers for all the LED lighting throughout the Hôtel - in the common areas and especially the gorgeous outdoor restaurant (too bright - hard on the eyes - softer light creates a relaxed atmosphere !!)

Pros: Staff manning the reception did their utmost to cater to our every needs. Hotel waiters and waitresses were always happy and helpful.

Cons: The room we booked was small and not really suitable for a 11 day stay. We told them we were not happy about this and they kindly upgraded us to a larger room, they were extremely helpful and could not do enough to make sure we were happy.

Pros: The property is beautiful. The time spent here was very relaxing.

Cons: It was a little difficult locating the hotel.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful people. We missed the breakfast and they opened the buffet for us. Very clean rooms (specially the bathroom) and the beach is 5 min walk from the hotel. Best place to relax and see the nature!

Pros: Kind, pleasant and English speaking staff! The pool was open even in April and was really great and cool! Also the breakfast was amazing. The room super as well. Highly reccommended to everyone!

Cons: The kitchen is unfortunately closed between 3 p.m. - 7.30 p.m. so you cannot order any food at this time. And also you have to buy “lunch or dinner package” (each of it for 35€). If you don’t do that, there is no option to buy anything small to eat..

Pros: Location by the beach

Cons: The toilet mechanism was (flushing) was so so noisy. Could wake you up if someone else used their toilet in the night ☹️. Bit pricey for the facilities, but the location was ace.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent Staff was friendly Excellent location, proximity to all the sites and facing the beach!

Pros: Beach and the old town center are very near ...

Cons: Climate did not work properly during our whole holiday. Staff said that if I want to increase intensity of it, I have to call them and they do it. After I had indicated my request to increase intensity of climate, nothing happened and they did not care about it! We had to tolerate the high temperature in the room and stuff offered an electric fan, although Riva del Sole is not a cheap hotel! Furthermore, our room was at the end of corridor (Room 66) where WiFi was not available. I am really not satisfied with services!

Pros: Very nice hotel located across from the beach, close to the center and train station. The views from the hotel terrace. The reception staff was very nice.

Pros: We loved the beautiful view and the helpful staff.

Cons: No, it is a very nice place to stay in Cefalu.

Pros: The terrace with sea view , but the best was the team , special at Francesco who was kind and wonderful with us every time ..Do I

Pros: Best location in Chef Leu

Cons: Nothing it was perfect

Pros: Great selection for breakfast and very good coffee!

Pros: The position is perfect , literally across from beach.

Cons: Bed not comfortable, 2 pushed together and kept rolling in. Also would be nice to let people know that there is a charge for beach towels.

Pros: The breakfast was great, as were the staff down who served us and the view from our room was lovely. The maids who cleaned our room were lovely - always friendly and pleasant. Although very nervous when the manager was around, the staff on reception were lovely and much friendlier when he wasn't there.

Cons: The welcome on our arrival was luke warm at best. There was a very sour faced old lady stood next to the reception who looked us all up and down unpleasantly and seemed to make the reception staff nervous, as did the Manager with grey hair and glasses (who was also unfriendly and high handed, refusing to reply in english to my questions which was very disconcerting). When we were shown to our room, the patio door didn't work properly, so for the 8 nights we were there, we could only open one side of these doors and despite this being a family room for 3, there were only two chairs on the balcony and it was a squeeze on there for all three of us to sit out. For a cost of nearly £2000, we felt really short changed. There were unwelcoming signs in the room stating that smoking was prohibited (although this was displayed in an ashtray ...); that no food or drink from outside could be consumed in the hotel room (although the mini fridge was poorly stocked with only one type of each drink and with the prices at least double that of the shop opposite). This is not the normal policy for family friendly hotels. Having normally stayed in 4* hotels for our trips, this felt like a 3* hotel that charged 4* prices and was living on past glories from the 1960s/70s - it needs to decide whether to refurb and continue to charge 4* prices or reduce their prices, policies and attitudes required to make it a welcoming choice for international visitors.

Pros: Location

Cons: Old Fashioned, air conditioning barely worked, hot water fluctuated, no coffee.tea facilities in room, rule about not allowing outside food or beverage in room, charge for beach towel use, insisted on leaving room key at front desk.

Pros: Great location just across from the lovely public beach and only about a 10-15 minute easy walk along the promenade into the delightful old town of Cefalù. We had a wonderful sea and old town view (with the impressive La Rocca in the background) from our balcony. The magnificent views and old fortifications make the somewhat strenuous climb to the top of La Rocca well worth it. I made the climb in sandals; however, closed shoes would have been a better choice. Good breakfast at the property. They have some bikes available. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff.

Pros: Location is perfect and it was great that they give you free beach chairs at the beach bar in front of the hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Pros: Nice comfortable good-sized room and nice bathroom. Generous breakfast. All staff were friendly and very obliging. Parking for free was adjacent. A nice stroll along the promenade to the old town

Pros: The town of Taormina is enchanted

Cons: With the car is a little bit confusing to join the hotel because of the street. Follow the instruction they give you and be calm in the Sicilian traffic. Ask for the private car park

Pros: Room was huge Beds comfy Great WiFi Across the road from the beach Free parking Umbrella and lounges on beach We had to leave early in the morning and the staff made sure we had breakfast before we went A great stay ..

Cons: Nothing .. everything perfect !

Pros: Breakfast - Not very good - continental style - the Sicilians cannot make tea Location - we only found the Lido pool on the final day as we were told there was no pool when we initially enquired - the beach lido is very close and the short stroll into town is fine. Checkout - we were charged the town tax twice, only discovering later we had paid this on booking. Journey - a taxi is necessary and expensive from the airport - hire a car and tour the island if visiting Sicily

Cons: Personally we were disappointed with the food which has not been an issue for us on mainland Italy

Pros: Very friendly staff, good location relative to Cefalu old town - just far enough away to make it a pleasant walk - but there's some road noise - sacrifice the sea view for a room at the back which will be quieter! Breakfast was pretty good, loads of fruit - but get there early...! Reception staff speak good English and are helpful with advice.

Cons: Nothing really, very pleased with the hotel

Pros: A grand location and spacious room s.

Cons: Nothing whatsoever

Pros: The room and bathroom were large and clean.

Cons: Appalling service. Future customers avoid.
