About this property

Ondina ( by Vacation Service )

Right above the water in the heart of Cefalù’s historic center, Ondina is the perfect location for anyone wishing to get the very best out of Cefalù. With its seafront terrace and second cathedral facing roof terrace, Ondina offers unparalleled sea and rooftop views.

Ondina is located on the top floor of a seafront house in the historic center of Cefalù. The apartment has recently been lovingly refurbished to a high level with features such as Sicilian ceramic hand painted tiles and locally sourced restored furniture. Several flights of stairs lead to the front door which opens onto the kitchen. A bathroom with shower is located on the immediate right.

The apartment offers an airy and comfortably furnished open space living/dining room with French windows opening over the sea and the rocky coastline. Through a sliding door at the front of the room is located a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. The bedroom boasts lovely sea views and the bath, a large shower.

A glass door off of the small but well equipped kitchen leads one to the long suspended terrace with stunning views of the sea. It is furnished for relaxing and dining and provides the ideal place for al fresco dining and sunset aperitifs.

The single and second double bedrooms are located at the back of the kitchen and have been created under the eaves of the sloping roof of the historic property. Both have access to a private terrace overlooking the cathedral and the characteristic tiled roofs of Cefalù’s historic center. One bedroom features two antique single beds and the other a double bed.

Ondina is ideal for those who do not wish to hire a car, as everything you could possibly need is outside of your front door. Restaurants, bars, cafés, shops and the beach are all within easy walking distance.

Please be aware that the Municipality of Cefalù requires a mandatory tourist tax of 2 euro/person per night, starting from 13 years old, for a maximum of 5 nights (in case of longer reservations the remaining nights will not be charged)
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Beautiful apartment with stunning views and an ideal location. We could not have asked for a better stay! Our host was so helpful - even went out of our way to help us retrieve a lost passport!! We loved Cefalu, in no small part due to our host Sergio and his wonderful apartment. We hope to return some day!

The views are absolutely incredible and one of the biggest highlights of this apartment. Being at the top of the building provides stunning panoramic views, but be prepared for quite a few flights of stairs to reach it. The location is excellent, right in the city center. However, this does mean you'll likely need to park outside the main square and walk, or arrange transportation with a taxi that has permission to enter the restricted area. The apartment itself is clean, charming, and well-maintained. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but they are comfortable and functional. One thing we especially appreciated was the excellent water pressure and consistent hot water, which isn't always guaranteed in Italy. The air conditioning also worked very well, which was a huge plus during the hot weather. There were a few areas where the experience could be improved. The apartment was stocked with only a very limited amount of toilet paper and did not include paper towels, coffee, or some of the basic amenities commonly provided in vacation rentals. Communication was generally good, although at times the host seemed somewhat stressed or impatient. During check-in, we were asked to provide an arrival time based on our drive from another town. Once we arrived, we still needed to find parking and arrange transportation to the apartment, and the host's messages made it seem as though our slight delay was causing frustration. It wasn't a major issue, but it created a somewhat uncom
