This is a charming hotel and wanted to love it, great location to the beach and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast was decent, dinner at the restaurant was fantastic. The one downside was the air conditioning, or lack there of. Never could get it below 25.5C which for me was not good as I need a cool room to sleep. If you can't sleep sweating look elsewhare

The hotel was amazing. Wish I knew that Cefalu doesn’t allow the hotels to turn on the AC until May 1st. This made the stay uncomfortable for me. I would have stayed in Palermo.

Needs a Refresh but ok

The hotel is older and needs refreshing. Our room had a great view of the beach but it smelled bad and we had to air it out. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. Location was good near restaurants and the old town. The young bell boy was very helpful.
