Beautiful resort, but if you want to visit Cefalu city center not the best location. The hotel offers rides to city center but only limited hours. A 4 star hotel shouldn’t have instant coffee in the rooms should be broker quality. The breakfast was very good.

An amazing private resort on a small scale: new, clean, and thought through in every little detail. The premises are aesthetic, good-smelling and feel exclusive. The garden feels like a cosy hideout. Great cocktail bar, both during the day and in the evening, with Salvo and Emanuele not missing a chance to surprise you and make you smile. The fine dining experience at the on-site restaurant “Zayn” is worth a mention, too. A complimentary electric shuttle and EV charging are available, too.

Absolutely gorgeous boutique property, perfect for R&R, lounging by the pool and indulging in the inventive tasting menu (a high point during our trip!). Fantastic pool and bar area with fast and friendly service. Charming Cefalu is a shuttle ride away and we appreciated not having to drive ourselves into the town. The staff were very kind and attentive. The only downside was the size of our room - extremely small, if I were to return, I would seek out a large room if that is an option. The private terrace helps make up for it.

The staff were always friendly, yet always professional. Beautiful hotel and environment. The food in the restaurant was incredibly good, with excellent service. Somewhere to eat in the evening with a more relaxed atmosphere would have been nice. Walking into Cefalu isn't such an issue. Parts of the road arent paved, parts are. Just be careful and you can cut down a side street to take you onto the beach road. Takes about 40minutes walking Would I go back. Definitely !!

Beautiful relaxing resort out of the way. Most staff were great. Breakfast was fantastic. Pool area amazing. Shuttle into Cefalu is great except that the last return shuttle is at 6:30 which doesn’t help you get into town for dinner so we had to take taxis back. Lunch options by the pool were a little too fancy for our tastes. Cold pool, brrrr.
