    It would havd been better if they had some basic ingridients such as coffee, salt, oil...

    Giuseppe was really great - he helped us a lot. The place is awesome - has almost everything you need. The pool was nice. The beach is really nice - we stayed during rge weekend and it was not too busy. Cefalu is a short drive and parking was easy.

    Maybe would have been nice to have a shop or two within walking distance but we had a car and the big supermarket was only a few minutes drive away

    Lovely little house with indoor and outdoor kitchen, comfy beds and nice pool. The gardens were well kept and pretty and the kids loved the pool table and football table, and stroking all the resident cats! A short drive to cefalu that had a lovely beach and nice shops to wander around. Very quiet even though it was not far from the main road. Huge croissants and bread can be delivered to your house! We really liked this place!

    The site could do with a small convenience store for basic groceries as a car/bus is needed to reach the closest supermarket. Gorgeous wooden fire pizza oven that could be used more often.

    Giuseppe is an excellent host, provided us with lots of info and suggestions on tours and beaches near by. Apartment was clean, good size swimming pool, perfect location for a family holiday, would defo recommend.

    Some basics we've come to expect were not provided such as dishwashing brush and liquid, cooking oil etc. Air conditioning is charged additionally to room rate (although not overly expense) but is definitely needed as the bedrooms which are upstairs get very hot in the afternoon/evening. Washing machine is a central one that is also at an additional cost. Pull out couch and bed relatively old and uncomfortable.

    Great pool set up with three different depths for children and adults, and a lifeguard supervising. Clean and comfortable (if a bit dated) apartment backing on to pool area. The manager is very friendly and helpful and gave us some great recommendations for Čefalu.

    Perfect for a summer holiday. Lovely accommodation and surroundings. Car essential.

    It was very isolated. There was little information given as to a supposed bus route (there is a bus stop right outside the complex) but no one knew the time table or was able to offer any advice. My husband waited for buses but none seemed to arrive. There is no option to walk to the main town which is 4km away and so a taxi was necessary (17 euros each way). We went to town 5 times during our 9 night stay and so you can imagine the costs mounted up. The weather was cool during our stay and so we could not use the pool much. With young kids this meant we needed to use public transport to get about for things to do but as there was no public bus we used taxis instead. A car is essential!

    Can't fault the accommodation. Spacious, well equipped, very pretty terrace with surrounding trees and vegetation. I would definitely return.

    The only thing it that it's a bit far from Cefalu for walking but we got taxi's in without issue.

    The host Guiseppe was great and very accommodating. We loved the pool area and the place had everything you needed. Great place for families.
