I read the review before mine and it sums up the Villa perfectly. This really is a gem of a place. Most days we had the pool to ourselves. We just laid looking out at the lemon, olive and orange trees all day. On an evening Francesco and his girlfriend Rosie would serve us dinner if we requested. The apartments... More

The setting of this villa is quite idyllic. Beautiful views across the sea with the Aeolian Islands visible in the distance on clear days, as well as towards Cefalu. The swimming pool is gorgeously situated amongst lemon trees, with other citrus fruit and an olive grove. The accomodation is in a series of buildings spread across the hillside on terraces... More

We had a real relaxing time. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful. Very friendly welcome by owner Francesco. Large and deep swimming pool including parasols and sunbeds. Great view over the sea. The room was small but clean. Simple breakfast but fine. Slightly annoying were the wasps that arrived immediately after we got our plate. Be prepared for an authentic Italian... More

Villa Palamara is a lovely place near Cefalu, with a fanastic view. Parking in Cefalu is a challenge, so we picked this accommodation instead. Just a view minutes by car from the charming village, with onsite parking and a very large pool. The host is very friendly and with a simply email in English our stay was booked. Our room/apartment... More

This was the perfect spot for us as we winded down our wonderul trip to Sicily. The property is absolutely beautiful with fruit and olive trees surrounding the buildings and swimming pool. The view is incredible overlooking the sea and islands in the distance. Our room was really a suite with cooking facilities on the upper floor. This would have... More

We had a nice apartment in this delightful converted convent, on a hillside overlooking the beautiful coast. The pool was magnificent, and the setting and atmosphere were really special, with olive groves and fruit trees all around (we particularly enjoyed picking the figs and prickly pears!), even a private chapel. Veronique was full of good advice and stories. The only... More

Although it poured with rain three days in a row this accommodation, just outside of Cefalu, was worth a visit. We stayed in a very nice and modern appartment part of a restored castle. It contained a nice spacious bedroom with a lovely modern living room upstairs with a splendid view of the garden and the coastline. There is an... More

We booked a room with a balcony and refrigerator and fan. We were given a room on the first floor with none of the above. When we opened the window everyone could see in to the room. We then discovered bugs in the bed. We tried to find the owners but they had a sign "gone call us" We had... More

We stayed here for two days. I have travelled a lot and have been in many hotels but this was one of the most impressing places where I have stayed. The villa is situated between olive and citrus trees, but you also find banane plants and other fruit plants. You can relax at the swimming pool which is quite big.... More
