Cefalu Holiday Villa (house)

Home description

This lovely 1920's house nestles in a pine grove on the edge of the Madonie National Park, an area of outstanding beauty. From it's position on the hill the house enjoys splendid views across the bay of Cefalu and La Rocca. A driveway lined with old stone walls sets the house well back from the road and it's position adjacent to tall umbrella pines makes it a tranquil retreat after a day sightseeing or sunbathing on the beach. The owner has furnished the interior simply, but has also included some pieces of antique Sicilan furniture which suit perfectly the character of the house, with it's original tiled floors, high ceilings and thick walls. There are two bedrooms, one double and one twin, and a dining room leading on to the kitchen. There is one bathroom. Outside there is a wide terrace where you can sunbathe, watch the sun set or enjoy evening meals under the stars. The house is less than 20 mins drive to Cefalu's beach, famous cathedral, shops and excellent restaurants.

The Sicily region

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, wonderful locally produced food and its incredibly friendly people. In the east towers Etna. Standing at 3,320m (10,900ft) high, it is one of the world's tallest and most active volcanoes. The beautiful Aeolian Islands to the north are reachable by boat, and excursions leave from the port of Cefalu daily during the summer months.

Sicily is truly an all year-round holiday destination. If you are a beach lover then the long summer season will be ideal for you. If you prefer walking in the mountains or cycling trips, then the warm and sunny spring and autumn seasons are the perfect time to appreciate Sicily's dramatic scenery. Winter sports enthusiasts can ski on the slopes of both Etna and Piano Battaglia (under an hour's drive from Cefalu), in the winter months from December to February.

Cefalu area

Cefalu is less than an hour’s drive along the coast from Palermo, Sicily's capital. It has long been one of Sicily’s most beautiful and popular resorts. Walking through the historic centre of the town you will discover charming cobbled streets lined with interesting local shops and excellent restaurants. At its heart, in the town’s main square, stands the imposing Norman cathedral built in 1132 by King Roger 2nd. The huge image of Christ Pantocrator in the cathedral’s apse is remarkable.

Close-by, the long stretch of sandy beach is popular with both locals and tourists, and as the sun sets over the sea, the promenade comes alive for the evening passegiata. Cefalu is not just a seaside resort, but also makes a convenient base from which to explore the interior of the island. A short drive away is the Madonie National Park, with its breathtaking mountain landscapes and picturesque hill-top villages, perfect for walking and cycling, and even for skiing in the winter months.
