The view from the balcony was great, the view from the bedroom window was magical! Location was amazing, one way was the town on the other way a short walk to the beach!

Lorindav Canada

Gorgeous views from the terrace, and it was nice that they have a set of beach umbrellas for guests to borrow. Having a/c was key during July! Excellent communication prior to arrival with tips on free parking.

Sarah United States of America

Excellent sea view location! Arrived late due to flight delays, room was ready and waiting, vouchers for breakfast already in room. Good advice prior to arrival about parking our car. Breakfast cafe could not have been prettier, in a piazza with cathedral views. Perfect location. For those looking to avoid stairs, not recommended.

David United States of America

The terrace has a beautiful view of the water. Our check in/out was very smooth and they were very friendly. They even reached out to me to let me know we left behind a bag. Breakfast was great at the cafe in the plaza, awesome scenery and the croissant with the local cheese was so yummy!!

Melissa United States of America

Nice room with a kitchen. located near shopping, beach, and restaurants. Also nearby laundry.

Mark United States of America

The location is unbeatable, the terrace is a great place to unwind with a bottle of wine while listening to the ocean.

Great location in the historical centre, wonderful terrace with sea view. Breakfast (cappucino and cornetto) was served in bar on piazza in front of the cathedral just few steps from the B&B.

Mahulena Czech Republic

Centrally located, charming accommodation. Lovely host, we had a great time here.

Regina Hungary

Great accommodation in the old town and at the same time with direct sea view. A great terrace with a 240 degree view over the sea. Inside historic building, beautifully left.

Kaspar Switzerland

Very nice place in the center of the old town in Cefalù. The room is well equipped with everything you need (towel, showergel, hair dryer). Beautiful roof terrace with tables and deck chairs overlooking the sea. Tasty breakfast in the nearby cafe (coffee, orange juice and filled croissants). On the day of departure, the luggage can be stored temporarily. We would definitely come back anytime!

Dolce Vita is a stylish, family-run B&B in Cefalu's historical center, a 5-minute walk from the city's cathedral and the seaside. You can admire a wonderful sea view from the communal terrace.

Rooms at the Dolce Vita Bed and Breakfast come with free Wi-Fi and are set on the second floor of a building with no elevator.

Your day starts with a characteristic Italian breakfast with croissant and cappuccino, served at a nearby café in the square where you can also find the cathedral.

The Dolce Vita B&B has contemporary artwork and bright, vibrant colors throughout. Its seafront location makes it great for enjoying Cefalu to the full. It is recommended by a number of travel guide books.

The property is on the bastione Marchiafava coastline. A private transfer to and from the airport is available on request, at an extra charge.

This is our guests' favorite part of Cefalù, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

Dolce Vita Bed and Breakfast has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Sep 4, 2009
