About this property

House with character in the historical centre, with terrace and sea view

This lovely house – dating back to 1700 - is located in the picturesque historical centre of Cefalù, 100 mt to the sandy beach, in a quiet side street 30 mt from the main church “il Duomo”. It’s a traditional three-storey house newly renovated in the old fashion style, and it is unique in its simplicity: stone walls, terracotta-tiled floor and raftered ceiling.
On the ground floor there is the dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable bathroom; on the first floor there are two bedrooms: one with a double bed and one with a bunkbed; on the top floor there is the living room (with a bed-coach), a small bathroom and a lovely terrace, overlooking the sea, the old roofs and the “Rocca”, the well-famous mountain symbol of Cefalù.
It is the best for those who love enjoying lively resorts, but also – thanks to its ideal position – for those who want to relax and rest in the terrace enjoying some wine and a nice Italian meal, with a great sea-view!
All rooms have natural light, are well ventilated and look at lovely corners of the old town.
There is a washing machine, air-conditioning and fans; you’ll find everything you might need for your comfortable stay.
Not recommended to people with leg problems and loud groups.
The prices listed are for 1 to 4 people.
Free Wifi in the nearby square.
Extra services available on request:
- professional tour guide for nature and art itineraries, anywhere in Sicily
- transfer from and to any airport
- driver with car rental

Best location in Cefalu
Fantastic location 1.5 blocks from the central plaza. Melena is a wonderful host and made sure we were well prepared for the unusual traffic caused by the papal visit in Palermo. You will need strong legs for all the stairs but after our stay in cefalu, the rest of Sicily was easy!

Location calme et pourtant au cœur cefalu
La maison de Milena est très bien située et étonnement calme par rapport justement au fait qu'elle soit en plein centre, à 2 pas du Duomo. Tout en étage, on entre par la salle à manger, au fond il y a une petite cuisine et à côté la salle de bain, au 1er étage la chambre parentale petite mais agréable et une petite chambre d'enfant avec lits superposés, au 2eme étage la pièce de vie qui donne sur la charmante petite terrasse d'où on a une très jolie vue avec de beaux couchers de soleil ! Idéal pour prendre tous ces repas/apéro (seul bémol ils sont à préparaer au Rdc...du coup on passe pas mal de temps dans les escaliers). Milena a été très charmante et réactive quand nous avions des questions! C'est une très bonne adresse pour qui veut être au cœur de Cefalu sans être gené par son bruit et son agitation estivale ! Cefalu est une vraie carte postale, et comme tout lieu magnifique ...elle attire beaucoup de monde! Mais on a adoré!
