    The decor inside is a bit dated. Feels like it was decorated in 2003 and then not touched since. It was a 4 floor walk up which was a bit challenging with our suitcases.

    The rooftop terrace was unmatched!! Stunning panoramic views of the beach and la rocca mountain. The staff felt like they became family and were so kind. They had beach umbrellas and games to borrow as well. The breakfast was beyond our expectations and so lovely to wake up to each morning. Also it was in such a central perfect location.

    The stairs up the apartment are a bit of a shock initially but Nicola is happy to assist… But it is Sooo worth it!

    The view was spectacular. Especially the rooftop to enjoy the fabulous breakfast spread Nicola puts on for her guests. So much food. So delicious, including delicious cake every day from her mum. Everything about this stay was perfect - wanted to stay. Nicola is so friendly and warm and helpful, she makes you feel Like part of the family !

    You have to park your car 4 minutes away and take the never ending steps to third floor, but when you get there, it’s absolutely amazing! The host was so friendly, we texted our arrival time in Whatsapp and she was waiting and showing us all different kind of suggestions for our stay. The location is perfect - in the middle of everything and you can walk everywhere. We had a room with balcony overlooking the square, but the windows are so thick, it’s totally quiet at night. Also loved the roof terrace, where you can sit and enjoy sunset with a bottle of wine. Breakfast on the terrace was amazing too, prepared by the host’s mother. Thanks, we really loved it all!

    We had the best stay with Nicole in Cefalù! Our self check in was seamless and we arrived to a beautiful room with an amazing view over the city and la rocca. Many other check ins in Sicily have been stressful but Nicole helped us to feel relaxed even arriving late in the day. The facilities were fantastic with snacks and tea to use. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and nice hot shower. We wished we were staying longer!

    Nothing. It was even more than we hoped for. Cefalu is stunning and welcoming.

    The lovely room with a view over the square below was perfect for us. Also the great location and the spotless facilities were all excellent. Fantastic breakfast ‘just like mama used to make.’ Oh wait she did! Thank you Gina as it was delicious. Relaxing and Eating breakfast on the roof top terrace was the icing on the cake served by our kind hostess Nicole, was just perfect.

    This is the best accommodation I have been to in Sicily. It has it all; spacious modern rooms with modern baths. A fantastic roof terrace where breakfast is served, where you have a good view over the town and the coast and a brilliant spot for watching the sunsets. The host and her mother are very kind and helpful. They prepare a fantastic breakfast with fresh self baked cakes every day.

    Note that there are 3 floors to climb to reach Scirocco.

    Scirocco is a clean and modern B&B that is centrally located. The Duomo, the entrance to La Rocco, loads of nice eateries and the train station are all within a 10-min walking distance. Scirocco is very efficiently run by Nicole who is friendly and welcoming. The sumptuous breakfast served on the rooftop terrace with a marvelous view of Cefalu old town is definitely the highlight here!  Highly recommended!

    I didn’t like that I had only booked one night. Had I known how much we would enjoy our stay, I’d have stayed longer.

    From the moment my daughter and I arrived everything was above and beyond. Nicole surprised us with an upgrade to a room with a balcony and incredible views, the room was spacious, very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the location couldn’t be beat. More than this though, Nicole was genuine, kind, helpful, and took the time over great conversations at breakfast to give us suggestions about where we should stop on our drive to Syracuse.

    Super kind host who speaks excellent English, is always available and provides guests with recommendations about local activities. Well-equipped room with thoughtful extras like little earplugs for free in case there is some noise in the neighborhood at night. Wonderful breakfast and a stunning rooftop terrace. Great location, close to all interesting spots in the city, the train station and the path up to the famous rocks.

    My only critique would be the rooms interior design being harsh on the eye, and outdated, making it uncomfortable to spend time relaxing in the room on winter evenings. My room window also overlooked the communal area and stairs to the roof which didn’t help. However, I’m a solo traveler so I spend the days hiking and the evenings relaxing so I appreciate a cosy relaxing environment in the evenings. This wouldn’t be a problem in summer as you have the gorgeous roof.

    Loved the location, the rooftop views were stunning and the host is approachable and friendly. The three flights of stairs up are fine, and I found them easy enough. Everything is clean, and the showers are hot.

    Nicole was great to deal with and checking in was very easy. She had a super breakfast ready each morning with some nice home cooked treats and was nice to watch the stormy seas while having breakfast. Bedroom was very spacious and clean with a balcony view of the plaza, there is a fantastic roof terrace with a great view of the Rocca and the Sea. Breakfast is served up there when the weather is good!

    The bathroom noise definitely should be fixed. When you turn on waters. you can hear very annoying noise. The hostess said it was pumping problem.

    Breakfast was good. The hostess was so friendly. The cake baked by the hostess’s mom was exceptional.
