Francesco personally greeted us at his beautiful home and explained how everything worked. He also got some basic groceries for us to make it convenient for our first morning there. He set things up specially for the 18 month old baby traveling with us. One day when I was ill he offered to take me to a doctor or get medicine for me. He is a kind and generous host. The home is very comfortable and has everything you need for a most enjoyable stay.

This place was absolutely wonderful! It has the perfect picturesque look of a house tucked in the Sicilian hillside but with all the amenities needed to keep you cozy and comfortable. The outside view is also stunning. We bought fruits, cheeses, wine and prosecco in town and then had a wonderful dining experience at the house with the family overlooking the sea. My teenage daughters loved all of it. And the biggest bonus? The host, Francesco, is wonderful. He helped us every step of the way and made us feel like family. We’ll definitely be back.

A Gem in Cefalù: Our Stay at Francesco’s Haven

Our stay at Francesco's house in Cefalù was a highlight of our travels. As a host, Francesco was phenomenal, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us our privacy. His house offered a quaint and cozy retreat, complete with the comforts of home yet a distinctly Sicilian charm.What made our experience unforgettable was the house's stunning view—unparalleled vistas of the sea that framed our mornings and evenings with natural splendor. The house, a perfect embodiment of coziness and beauty, paired with Francesco's hospitality, made our visit to Cefalù truly magnificent. This is not just a place to stay; it's a venue to experience the best of Sicily.

Far from the madding crowd

An absolute gem of a place. Well equipped property, inside and out. Owners (Francesco and Marianna) are deservedly proud of this quaint property and gardens. Swimming pool and patio immaculate. Indoor and outdoor shower rooms. Car needed as location is 3.6 miles from Cefalu town centre. Highly recommended and Francesco, provided the warmest welcome, a fabulous bottle of local wine, and took us on a personal tour of Palermo. His hospitality was beyond our expectation. Would also recommend the supermarket Gourmet Deco Cefalu - Waitrose on steroids!

Beautiful Hilltop Villa With Amazing Views

We were a party of 6 including my wife and I, our three adult kids, and my mother. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful stone house perched over the town and coast of Cefalu. Francesco could not have been more gracious and responsive. He arranged for a chef who cooked us a lovely seafood dinner, he made recommendations and responded immediately to any questions. The property and gardens are amazing. But we were also quite content to stay in the house during a heavy rain day. The road that approaches the house is quite steep and a little tricky. We highly recommend this location.

Amazing

Stop looking and just book this. Beautiful, comfortable Italian farmhouse. Wonderful stone walls and beams inside. Comfortable, quality furnishings. Many beautiful antiques. Waist-deep pool. Amazing outdoor spaces & living with plenty of shade or sun to enjoy the beautiful view. Beautiful landscape and gardens. Everything you could possibly need. So peaceful and quiet yet only 10 minutes to town, good restaurants, lots of activities. Owner is amazing, kind, so helpful. Stocked us with groceries for our first evening and morning since we were getting in late. He would have done more had we asked. Like having our own Italian home. We absolutely loved it!

Quand vous louer cette maison, vous ne faites pas que louer une maison, vous louez tout l'accueil de l'Italie, la gentillesse, la beauté esthétique d'un lieu, l'art de vivre à l'italienne et tout ce qui fait de l'Italie ce pays rêvé.Francesco est un hôte sincères, sympathique, accueillant et bienveillant.Sa maison est tout simplement jolie avec une vue imprenable sur la côte sicilienne..Il ne manque rien dans cette maison, et avec un peu de chance vous pourrez manger les mandarines directement de l'arbre et mettre un peu de la magnifique huile d'olive qu'il presse avec ses oliviers sur votre salade.Nous avons tout simplement adoré cet endroit et le recommandons sans aucune réserve.PARADISIO!!!!!!

Mooi huis op schitterende locatie

Ruim sfeervol ingericht huis met ruime overkapping en terras en zwembad. Fantastisch uitzicht op zee vanaf 350 m hoogte. Rustige plek ongeveer 4 km van Cefalu vandaan. De laatste 800 m zijn erg stijl imhoog en vormen telkens weer een uitdaging om er te komen. De eigenaar, Franceso, is een hartelijke man die je graag wil helpen.

Fabulous!

We throughly enjoyed our stay in Sicily and would highly recommend staying here. The villa itself is wonderfully rustic and authentic and is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! A real home from home. Francesco is a fantastic host who greeted us with a warm welcome and was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Cefalu was beautiful and we also spent a lovely evening in nearby pituresque Castelbuono (an excellent recommendation by Francesco). We also enjoyed exploring other parts of the island (a car is a must) and the fantastic nearby beaches and the villa was always a welcome sight to return to. We fell in love with Sicily and wouldn't hesitate to stay again! Karl, Mel and family.

The house was clean and practical with loads of nice seating areas outside to enjoy the view and the pool.

We were two families with children, ages from 5 to 12, who enjoyed a wonderful week in Francesco's lovely house. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to sit outside in the shade at all times of the day, and playing and cooling off in the pool. Francesco was a friendly, funny and helpful host.

A taste of real Sicily.

Francesco and his family were very welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived in Sicily. We communicated via WhatsApp mostly. Francesco uses google translate as his English is not fluent. We were directed to a supermarket and met in the car park even though our flight had been delayed. A bottle of wine on the table to greet us helped us feel at home. The view is, as stated truly outstanding. The house was beautifully rustic with a very relaxing feel. It was clean and comfortable. The house was a bit cool in the April evenings but there were plenty of heaters and bed covers. We cooked most days in a very well equipped kitchen. We were well placed to visit the national parks and enjoyed a day trip to Agrigento and the south coast. Francesco personally arranged an excellent tour of Palermo and Monreale for us on our last day which we greatly appreciated. This was our first trip to Sicily and we are looking forward to visiting again. We loved the villa and we recommend it for a holiday.

Séjour très agréable dans une maison de caractère

Cette maison perchée à 300 m de hauteur offre une vue magnifique sur la mer et la région dont on ne se lasse pas. L'accueil de Francesco était royal avec un excellent déjeuner sicilien préparé pour nous à notre arrivée, il vous considère comme un ami et fait tout son possible pour rendre votre séjour agréable, il fait l'effort de parler français qu'il maitrise très bien. La maison est pleine de charme, confortable avec toutes les commodités (sauf le lave-vaisselle mais on s'en est très bien passé), bien arrangée et le cadre est superbe. On peut manger à l'ombre et à l'abri sur un belle terrasse avec vue sur la mer. L'accès à la villa est un peu surprenant au début avec une côte impressionnante sur une route en mauvais état mais on s'y habitue vite et sans problème. Un conseil , n'oubliez pas les produit anti-moustiques car ils sont bien présents. En tout cas notre séjour a été extraordinaire dans cette maison et on avait le cafard de repartir, de laisser un si beau paysage et un accueil exceptionnel.
