Casa dei Normanni

Mrs. Rosalba was so kind and always easy to reach. We also got a discount on nearby parking, which helped make for a wonderful holiday. The property was welcoming and spotless, right in Cefalù’s historic center with everything close by.

There’s room to spread out, and it was spotlessly clean. We also had the option of a washing machine and an outdoor drying rack. The place sits in Cefalù’s historic center, among narrow, rugged lanes and typical houses with small balconies, with the sea just steps away. A really good option for Cefalù.

The central location was a bright spot, minutes from Cefalù’s shopping streets and the beach, and the place was generally equipped well enough for two. But we spent more than half the stay without air conditioning after finding it broken on arrival. Later the oven blew fuses and never worked during our 9 days there. The owner was poor at communicating about fixing things and came into the apartment without warning. When she said we should get a statue for our patience, I asked about possible compensation and got no answer. Her final message was just a reminder to pay the tourist tax. There was no apology, which put a damper on an otherwise wonderful time in Cefalù.

A two-minute walk gets you to the beach, and the apartment is right in the center. It was spotless and thoughtfully put together. I’d happily recommend staying here.
