    Wifi signal was not strong, but the host, Pier, said he would look into addressing this.

    The apartment is nicely situated with a view of the sea. The large patio windows, front and back, allow for a good breeze to flow through the apartment. We also enjoyed the 3 small balconies.

    Please translate the names of the weekdays on the "Trash Collection Schedule." Starting the week with Sunday is uncommon in many countries. Additionally, there's a day when two types of trash are collected on the same day. Without knowledge of Italian, it's challenging to understand, and we missed some opportunities to dispose of it. It would benefit both you (with more accurate trash disposal) and visitors if the names of the days were translated, not just the types of trash.

    We had a wonderful 7-day stay with our 2-year-old child. The apartment is very quiet yet extremely close to the center. The interior is of good quality and exceptionally clean. It's close to the beaches and cafes; just a 2-minute walk down, and you'll find amazing cafes and dinner spots. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent. Pedro is a very helpful host, and we were confident he would assist us if any problems arose. Overall, we recommend this place and would choose it again.

    An outstanding host. So helpful and friendly and wanted to ensure we were comfortable. Location location and both a sea and street balcony. Enjoyed the stove pot coffee. A toaster was lent upon request without any hesitation and so promptly. Microwave available. Having such a well equipped and ideally located large apartment really helped us enjoy Cefalu very much. The bonus was being able to ocean swim close by. Cheers David and Linda. New Zealand ps: Pier and family know how to run an accommodation business extremely well. A fine example for other hosts.

    The parking was a very inconvenient 15-minute walk from our apartment. The mattress wasn't very thick and dipped somewhat in the middle.

    Our host was always available and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. The apartment is right in the center of the Duomo near all of the activities.

    Provision of shower gel and spare toilet paper would be an improvement.

    The property is situated in a fantastic location, quiet but just a minute's walk from the Duomo and piazza. The host was very friendly, and even came and picked me up when I arrived on the train so that I didn't have to wheel my suitcase the 15 minute walk to the property.

    - noisy: the bedroom is on main street side, and it gets loud during the night; as we only stayed for 3 nights, it wasn't a problem, but something to be aware of for longer stays or in case noise bothers you :) - free toiletries are not included: again, no problem, as this is stated in the booking, but something to be reminded of

    - wonderful location in beautiful Cefalu city center - lovely view from the livingroom balcony towards the sea and towards La Rocca from the balcony in the bedroom (2 balconies, yes!) - the apartment is bigger than in photos - home like feeling - comfy bed - fresh towles, nice washing machine - nice host - 10 min walking from the harbour free parking (safe parking lot recommended by our host)

    Nothing to say here.

    I've stayed in many apartments around the world and this was one of the best. It's restful, peaceful, great sea views, close to the action, clean, well furnished and equipped, terrific host (who is also a local tour guide!), and in easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and beaches. This is as good as it gets.

    Wifi is ok when there is a connection, but there's a dead spot in the apartment. This was a not a deal breaker, since we weren't using the apartment for work. The water in the flat is very metallic, so bottled water is a must for drinking and making coffee. (Not sure if this is specific to the apartment or something general to Cefalu.) Again, not a deal-breaker.

    This is for the Candeloro sea view room. Overall, great stay. Pier is very responsive and helpful. The apartment is as in the photos. Location is very convenient. Small balcony (w/table and two chairs) off the kitchen looks to a view of the sea and over a quiet street. Nice for taking coffee in the morning or sharing a bottle of wine in the evening. The sea view is not a wide panorama...so if you want to catch the sunrise, there's an entrance to the rocks and a walking path along the coast. For sunset, try Cefalu Beach down the road. Bedroom opens to the street on the other side. Kitchen is well supplied, enough to share food you pick up in town or to prepare some small plates.
