    The property was clean, comfortable and of a very high standard. It had everything we needed for self catering. The pool area and surrounding gardens were lovely and well maintained. A good base with lots of beautiful places to visit but a car is...

    The owner of the house are really nice and helpful. The pool is small but we really appreciate it.

    very nice pool, which we had almost always for ourselves, despite the high season. Very pleasant garden area (compensate for the very small flat and not possible to eat on balcony) Location close to Cefalu, but not too close either very nice...
