Beachfront holiday rental in Cefalù

Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

We had a beautiful time in the apartment - we loved the views and the kitchen was well equipped for homemade meals! It was a shame we had to take our rubbish so far, and some surfaces in the kitchen didn’t feel clean. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!

A super nice place to stay, just as described. Erika welcomed us super friendly and was always available for us. The basic equipment such as water, milk and pasta was great, you immediately felt at home. Super clean, plenty of space and just a place to unwind. I can only recommend it to anyone who lives in the Palermo area but still wants to enjoy the tranquility and proximity to the sea. Thank you Erika for your great hospitality.

To stay at “Oasi delle Sallinelle” is a one of a kind experience, in anyway - inside and out! You can have a private and relaxed time at the property and its connected beach as well as cultural and culinary excursions in Cefalù! You’ll be surrounded by a precious, natural and wild environment, although your NOT in the middle of nowhere and there’s a lot of lovingly designed rooms and spaces for comfort and coziness. We felt at home, relaxing inbetween gardens of fruits, olives, cuddling kittens and two sweet dogs, that gonna melt your heart. Dario e Agnes are the most lovely and committed hosts, we could have dreamed of. They try to fulfill every wish, in such a warm and friendly way, that let us participate so easily and get sustainably connected to this special place, its animal and human inhabitants! 🥰We’ll come back as soon as possible and recommend, to all the people, that enjoy an individual, natural but also comfy vacation, to do the same! Grazie amici, ci vediamo presto! ♥️

Well equipped Air BnB, 15 minutes drive from Cefalù. Quiet neighbourhood with friendly locals. Vincenzo is a responsive host and gave great recommendations for restaurants. The view from the bedroom is great. Easy parking 2 minutes away from accommodation. Would recommend!

I’m almost at a loss of where to begin with how much my family and I enjoyed Diego’s incredible accommodation and hospitality! As a beach fanatic, this was the perfect location to enjoy a private and gorgeous location on the Mediterranean. No picture can do justice to the jaw-dropping water and the hours I happily spent wandering the coastline. Others have mentioned the generous spread of local treats Diego and his family provided - I can not overstate how helpful and welcome this was throughout our stay. Because of this, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals most nights; not because we were intending to be frugal (we are vacationing after all!), but because the items he provided were just that copious and delicious. The property grounds are lush and pristine, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the craftsmanship of the home is gorgeous. Most importantly perhaps, Diego and his family made US feel like family. Responsive, warm & a true taste of hospitality.

The house is perfect for enjoying Mondello beach, comfortable and complete with everything, including parking. Benedetto is an exceptional host, he also welcomed us with some very welcome surprises and allowed us flexible hours. Highly recommended :-)

I stayed in Marilù's house for a week and I had a great time, nothing is missing. The house is very nice, clean, and tidy. Very close to the beach, the minimarket (perfect for shopping because there is everything), the pharmacy, the bar and the restaurants. Marilù and Giuseppe are special, very kind and helpful. I felt at home, I hope to return!

What a dream place! We had the most amazing vacation in the villa. We stayed at the home with 6 adults and 2 young children (1,5). The master bedroom is almost like a small apartment in its self. There is a room on the ground floor which was perfect for my parents in law who are less mobile. The place is spacious and beautiful. The garden is amazing with the private swimming pool and tennis court. We played tennis every day. The location is also very nice, walking distance from both the beach and the town. We would highly recommend to stay at this place! One of our best vacations ever!

The place was amazing, super well kept and extremely clean. Enzo was a wonderful host and very friendly throughout our entire stay. The house itself was beautiful and was a very short walk from a lovely beach. Would recommend this location to anyone!

We had a wonderfull time at Guiseppe’s place! We really enjoyed the pool and the appartement felt right at home!

What a magical place in beautiful Sicily this is! We had an amazing stay and spent a good amount of time at the Villa as it’s a wonderful place to be. The outside environment is superb, so tranquil and peaceful. The pool was perfect for hot days and we spent a lot of time being competitive on the table tennis table. The short walk to a stunning private beach was a huge bonus. The villa is a short drive from the beautiful town of Cefalu which is a must to visit. I would 100% recommend Salvatore’s place to anyone looking for a a peaceful stay in Sicily.

Had a great stay here! Umberto was a fabulous host. He was responsive and extremely helpful, with lots of recommendations to help us with our stay. The place was very clean, with great amenities. It’s also a couple of steps away from the beach. Around there are lots of bars and restaurants you are able to walk to. I would also recommend listening to Umberto and taking his recommendations for the neighbouring city of Cefalù.

We enjoyed our stay at Alessio’s villa. Great communication at all times. The location was quiet and close to the beach. The pool was a real delight. The train station was a10 min walk with regular trains to Cefalu and Palermo. I would recommend Villa Portofino for a stay in Sicilia

don’t even know where to start! just a perfect place in Mondello, pristine clean, freshly renovated, fresh pastries every morning, incredible sea view, infinite swimming pool, steam room, super comfortable bed, welcome drinks, free parking and obviously the most hospitable and loving hosts ever!!! Angelo’s wife even did my laundry on the request, just truly splendid in every detail felt like home and definitely will come back thank you beautiful Barbarella and Angelo for this time

This place is perfect and just as advertised. The private terrace is all you need for coffee in the morning and/or dinner during a stunning Sicilian sunset. The location is ideal and just a very quick drive into the heart of Cefalu. You also have reserved parking which is ideal in Italy. Nicola is a fantastic host and very communicative as needed. And as others mentioned, if you feel like staying close to home and don’t want to head out, the private beach awaits you down below. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and it’s perfect for either a solo traveler or a couple. It’s not a huge place, but the terrace, views, and location make up for it. I very much look forward to coming back and if you’re considering it, go ahead and book it. You’ll be happy you did. Buon viaggio!

We spent a lovely week in Vincenzo's apartment. It was spacious, very well equipped and had a magnificent terrace. There was a choice of sun or shade throughout the whole day at this time of year. The apartment is centrally situated, with the beach, the Rock, local shops and a supermarket all within 10 minutes walk. Vincenzo and his son, Antonio, were friendly and responsive hosts.

Great place! Close to grocery store, next to the beach, walking distance to Old Town. There are 40 steps to the apartment without any lift which was fine with us, but may be an issue for others. Overall, was fantastic!

Santina's apartment is perfectly located in Cefalu old town literally 5 minutes from everythng. There is a great terrace overlooking the sea which was great for enjoying a coffee or just reading a book. The street below is full of restaurants and shops but the apartment is insulated from any street noise. Everything is new and modern. It really was perfect for us.

We loved this location! The charming and historic town of Cefalù was my favorite place I visited while in Italy. This home had the most beautiful balconies that overlooked the town and the beach, the sunsets were gorgeous to see from there. Everything you need is just footsteps away within the town. The host gave us great food and drink recommendations. This was a wonderful stay loved every moment.

A truly exceptional Airbnb; the space has been very cleverly, thoughtfully and stylishly planned using high quality materials. It has been furnished and equipped to the best standards in design and function. The very pretty balcony and the beautiful lighting features complete the picture. In every way the apartment does justice to its lovely location on a quiet street in a beautiful, historic and vibrant town.

Salvatore is an excellent host - he helped us from the moment we arrived in town and was responsive, kind and helpful all throughout our stay. The apartment is located perfectly for the beach, restaurants and bars, and the old town area. Salvatore gave us a lot of recommendations from a locals perspective too. It was a comfortable stay, the listing had everything we needed. We would stay here again whenever we’re back in Cefalu!

Fantastic stay! The apartment is everything that it is announced and more. You will be surprised by the attention on the details (cudos on the amenities). The location is very special and the view is absolutely beautiful. The beach is quite busy on weekends but much calmer on the weekdays. We had a perfect stay. Giuseppe made everything even more special, the most thoughtful and caring host I've seen. Ricorderemo sempre questo viaggio con grande affetto. Grazie!

Just like everyone else said! Meri was a sweetheart; apartment was one large room + bathroom (+ balcony overlooking cute, little, mostly pedestrian street,) very modern/new/clean, and had EVERYTHING you could need. 7-8 min walk to everything - cafes, shops, plaza, restaurants, beach! Mattress is hard but they make up for it with both flat and substantial pillows - I slept great!! As with all apartments in this central area, there’s a steep and somewhat narrow staircase to get to your room. Door lock was tricky - can be locked and then “double locked” so it took me a while to figure out how to unlock the door (just keep turning!) Felt exceptionally safe :-) LOVED Cefalu! Adorable, fun, lots of energy and little shops and restaurants. Beach is AWESOME - FREE, lowkey, perfect sand, and beers (at the bar on the staircase at the edge) were $3 each. Water is COLD. Thanks for the towels Meri! “Non Solo Pane” bakery in front is “fine” but not amazing. Try Paneficio Ventimiglia instead.
