About this property

Apartment in Tranquil Surroundings. Stunning Views of the Sea

Our apartment is situated high up on a hillside, but still walking distance to the beach at the western end of the Cefalu beach. Its position provides stunning views across the sea. Indeed, you can see the sea sitting in bed in the main bedroom (see one of the photos). It is possible to watch the sun set over the sea and distant peninsulas from all the rooms. The apartment is bright, cool and peaceful. It is the top apartment in a block of four and has its own south facing small garden.

The property is in a private complex served by a private road and is therefore very peaceful, away from the noise of the busy Cefalu town and its roads. The apartment has its own parking bay in front of the property (bay number 4).

The property is new and has just been furnished to a high standard. The large living room/kitchen area has a large fitted kitchen with large fridge/freezer, gas hob, extractor, electric oven and dishwasher. The living room has a large screen HD TV and multimedia system, including Blu-ray DVD and sound system. The apartment is equipped with a dedicated Wi-Fi network (unlimited). The living area includes a large leather sofa and a dining table that can expand to seat 8.

The main bedroom has a large wardrobe with ample storage and the bed in the second bedroom can be extended to a double bed. [The extra mattress for this bed is stowed in the storage space under the bed in the main bedroom.] The bathroom features a powerful shower and a washing machine is situated next to the bathroom.

The private garden behind the apartment is a suntrap for breakfast. A number of fruit trees have recently been planted. A patio has recently been built in the garden providing views of the coastline and a place for sun-bathing.

The apartment provides an excellent setting for relaxing – away from the bustle of the town. It is possible to walk down to the beach but you’ll need to be pretty fit to walk back – because it is mostly a steep incline uphill! A car is considered essential for your stay, particularly if you’d like to explore the beautiful countryside up in the Madonie mountains and beyond.

Verblijf in Cefalu
Prima verblijf buiten de drukte van Cefalu. Auto is ten zeerste aan te bevelen omdat het appartement op een steile heuvel is gelegen. Het appartement functioneerde prima voor ons gezin, 2 volwassene en 2 kinderen van 15 en 17 jaar oud.

sehr empfehlenswert!
Die Fotos von der Terrasse und vom Sonnenuntergang gaben den Ausschlag, diese Ferienwohnung zu wählen. Die Terrasse ist wirklich genial, zwar klein, dafür mit einem wunderbaren Blick über die Landschaft und das Meer. Wir haben oft dort gesessen, gegessen, getrunken, stundenlang zweckfrei ins Weite geschaut. So geht Erholung! In der Wohnung gibt es ein TV-Gerät. Vergessen sie es! Schauen Sie lieber abends zum Fenster hinaus, sehen Sie den Sonnenuntergang, jeden Tag anders, jeden Tag ein Ereignis, traumhaft. Die Wohnung liegt für italienische und sizilianische Verhältnisse recht ruhig. Dafür steil am Hang. Ohne Auto braucht es gut trainierte Beine. Wir raten zum Leihwagen, am besten zu einem kleineren Modell, Siziliens Straßen sind oft eng, Parkplätze klein und rar. Die Anfahrt erfordert am Anfang ein wenig Mut, aber Rosalba fährt ermutigend voraus. Cefalú liegt wenige Kilometer von der nächsten Autobahnausfahrt entfernt, ein guter Ausgangspunkt für viele Ausflugsziele. Für einen Ausflug nach Palermo empfehlen wir die Bahn, es gibt viele gute und schnelle Verbindungen. Der Bus nach Monreale startet gleich gegenüber vom Bahnhof Palermo. Die Wohnung ist für zwei Leute wie uns recht großzügig, auch für drei wäre sie ausreichend, für vier würde es auch noch gehen. Was man braucht, um täglich selber zu kochen, ist ausreichend vorhanden, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind gut erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, sehr hell und freundlich, dass die meisten Fenster nach Norden zum Meer gehen, sorgt dafür, dass sie sich im Sommer nicht überheizt. Dazu tragen auch die Jalousie-Fensterläden bei. Ohne jede Einschränkung können wir die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen. Allerdings empfehlen wir auch unbedingt, Autan oder ein anderes Repellens mitzubringen, Stechfliegen (Zanzare) können im Juni in Sizilien unersättlich sein. Thanks to Colin, we had a very fine time in your Appartement, it is real a very nice place!

Appartamento molto carino e dotato di tutto il necessario. Posizione ottimale e vista spettacolare
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo splendido appartamento per 9 giorni. Tutto è andato alla grande anche grazie alla gentilezza e alla disponibilità della Sig. Ra Rosalba che ci ha consigliato al meglio su tutto. Cefalù è veramente deliziosa anche in questo periodo di agosto in cui è ancora piena di turisti. Esperienza da rifare sicuramente

Un appartement de haute qualité
Un appartement avec de belles prestations. Nous avons aussi adoré les propriétaires Colin et Giselda pour leur réactivité dans la gestion d'un problème. Merci beaucoup pour leur gentillesse et leur générosité. La belle cuisine équipée nous a permis de cuisiner aisément, vaisselle suffisante, four neuf. Vue agréable sur la mer et Cefalú. Nous recommandons largement cette location.

About the host

Hosted by Colin Smith

Host profile image
We live in the UK. Giselda's family is from the Cefalu region and we spend our holidays here, in the summer and winter.

Why they chose this property

This is a new property built on land owned by Giselda's family. This is her second home and we have been coming to this region of Sicily for the last 30 years, first as a couple and now as a family.

What makes this property unique

The location of the apartment is exceptional. It is peaceful and has outstanding views out to sea. It is also close to the beach, a supermarket and shops and bar in Hotel Santa Lucia and the neighbouring town of Cefalu.
