    No couch but it wouldn’t stop us from visiting there again.

    We had a wonderful stay in Cefalù, and our host Dario was exceptional. He made sure we had everything we needed—the flat was spotless, completely remodeled, and thoughtfully stocked with fresh fruit, paper towels, and other essentials that made us feel right at home. Every room had its own air conditioner, and we especially enjoyed the small but lovely balcony for relaxing in the evenings. Dario also arranged free parking and coordinated with a very kind gentleman who picked us up in a golf cart and brought us to the flat—a service we highly recommend (only €10 and well worth it). The location is perfect—just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and the marina at Via Presidiana, where we rented a boat daily and had a fantastic time. One tip: make sure your rental boat has an anchor rather than just a weight. The flat is ideal for couples or small families looking to enjoy Cefalù like a local. We would definitely return. Highly recommend!

    I have Nothing bad to say!

    This property is amazing. Dario made our stay wonderful, he was very welcoming and answered all our questions and made some great dinner recommendations. The house is right in the middle of town you can’t ask for a better location. Very clean beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. I definitely would recommend staying here!

    Everything Was Exceptional

    Everything Was Exceptional – Thank You, Dario! Our stay in Cefalù was truly amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful host, Dario. He was incredibly attentive and always ready to help. His local recommendations were very helpful and made our trip even more special. Dario created a warm, family-like atmosphere that made us feel completely at home. My family felt comfortable from the very first moment. The apartment, consisting of two rooms and a kitchen, was beautifully designed and very well-equipped. The air conditioning worked perfectly and kept the place cool during the hot days. There were plenty of windows that let in natural light and fresh air, which we really appreciated. We also had access to a washing machine, which was very convenient for a family stay. I would highly recommend this place and especially want to thank Dario for being such a thoughtful and welcoming host. We would definitely love to come back!

    Amazing Place! Dario was an amazing host. He met us on arrival, provided details of the B&B; gave awsome recommendations and was always quick to respond to questions during our stay. The Home shows Pride of Ownership and we could not have asked for anything more. He came by to help us with our luggage during our check out and helped with organizing a Taxi to the Train station. Thank you Dario for a wonderful stay that my Family will remember and treasure!

    A spotlessly clean modern renovated apartment right in the heart of the old town of Cefalu. Two large double bedrooms, nice linens and aircon, with small but lovely and modern ensuite bathrooms with amenities provided. Good kitchen with coffee machine, water and fresh fruit supplied. There is no sofa in the kitchen, but a large table with comfortable chairs and a small balcony two can sit on to people watch on the street below. Parking options are a wee way away as it is in a pedestrian zone, for us about a 12 minute walk from secure paid parking lot Dafne. Dario was a fabulous host who was always available, gave us plenty of info and a warm Sicilian welcome and goodbye. Thanks Dario, we loved Cefalu!

    Nothing to do with the apartment. It's a relatively long walk from train station with luggage and kids, crossing the old town, but it's worth it!

    Great location, in the old town, close to the smaller but very beautiful beach of Cefalu. Beautiful small street full of restaurants. Quiet at night despite lively in the evening. Apartment was very comfortable, with everything we needed for two adults and two children. Great host, perfect communication and really good recommendations, thank you very much!

    Perfectly equipped, beautiful apartment. The location of the rooms is very good; we didn't head the noise from outside, even though it is located on one of the busiest pedestrian streets. The beach can be reached within 2 minutes. Dario's hospitality and helpfulness were cherry on the cake. Thanks to him, it was one of our best vacations.

    Dario as a host was amazing. He was warm and welcoming and took us for a quick tour of Cefalù. Location is the best in town. Steps from beach and is on main shopping and dining street yet quiet and peaceful. Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. The apartment was complete with cooking facilities and supplies.

The location is very close to the beach (5 minutes) and nearby there are many restaurants with varied food. I had no problem with parking, because there is a paid parking lot with video surveillance 900 meters from the property.

    There was nothing we didn't like or would change.

    The apartment was very comfortable, lots of space, well maintained (plenty of hot water, great wifi, A/C all worked perfect). The apartment is very nicely decorated, great attention to detail, looks and feels brand new. It is located on one of Cefalu's main streets in the center of the historic town, with lots of restaurants, bars and shops just steps away. The beach, cathedral and all important places to see are within minutes walk. Dario made the check-in process very smooth and was incredibly attentive to our needs, responded very quickly, advised us on parking, arranged transportation and recommended excellent restaurants. If we were to come back to Cefalu (which we definitely will), we would call Dario and would love to stay at his place again.
