“Quirky - but we'd go back”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Came here for the second half of our P&M holiday in Sicily. Bit of a bijou hotel with a lottery as to what size/ type of room one gets as they are all so different: we were offered a small but beautifully marked one where we simply could not unpack and changed to a larger, good one but were charged for doing so. The luck of the draw with the holiday firm - some rooms had balconies, sea views or terraces but by no means all. If you are booking individually I would ask at time of booking for what you need in terms of space and not just 'double', 'twin' 'single' etc.
Having said that, staff very friendly and helpful; food very good; room very comfortable; our air conditioning worked (I gather some didn't). Bus into Cefalu left from stop only 100 yards away - helpful staff again re timetables for this. Peaceful location out of town. Lovely little bay for sea swimming 5 minutes walk away. Relaxing. We would go back.

“Pleasant, clean and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here as part of a tour group and even though our arrival was about 1100 at night, staff were on hand with a light meal and drinks from the bar.

We stayed three nights and the staff were without exception friendly. The facilities were fine and the room, while it did not have a balcony as some did, was perfectly clean. The only downside was the air conditioning which was ineffective and a refrigerator that did not work. But these were minor distractions rather than major irritants.

Wi-fi in the rooms was free.

It was a little out of town but that was easily accessible by public transport or taxis.

I would have no problem staying here again.

“Lovely hotel just outside Cefalu beside sea with swimming pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011

Lovely hotel, large rooms with very comfortable beds (essential for a holiday).
Very friendly staff and very peaceful location. Cefalu historical centre is a 5 minute drive away so very practical to reach and the hotel price was very reasonable and great value.

“Cockroaches and chaos”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

Travelled here with Voyages Jules Verne. Upon arrival we entered the bathroom to find numerous insects 1.5 cm long with antenna running up the walls and ceiling. We asked reception for some Raid and we duly sprayed them. The tin of insecticide had been found so quickly that we realised that ours was not a unique occurrence. An hour later we counted the bodies of the dead insects and we lost count at 30. There was an expert amongst our tour group and he confirmed that they were small cockroaches.

Breakfast. Chaos! None of the tables were set up so you had to find your own cutlery, glasses and plates. As usual, breakfast was very limited and poorly prepared. Oh for a British hotel with decent food. British cooking is so underrated. You don't realise how good it is until you come to places like Sicily.
