Just returned from a 3 day weekend break in Cefalu staying at Villa Gaia.Great location on the promenade,clean spacious room,friendly staff. Painless transfer from Palermo airport (takes about 1hr 15 mins by rental car). Beach Club included in the room rate a bonus and there is an outstanding restaurant behind the hotel More

Very good location, convenient with a car as it is at the very outskirt of downtown so you can reach the hotel easily and there is an outdoor parking very close by. The beach is across the street and the historic center can be reached by foot in 15 minutes. Rooms are very spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was included,... More

We chose this hotel because it provided parking, but its location, across the street from the ocean, made for a lovely long walk into the city every day along the boardwalk. Rooms and bath were spacious and attractive. Breakfast was not overly abundant, but they provided eggs to boil and fresh fruit to peel, along with yogurt and cereals. Also... More

The views from the balconies are lovely. Even in low season, the breakfast was terrific (try the egg boiler but leave it in for a good 10 minutes!) and the staff were helpful and friendly. And it's right on the beach! More

Fabulous location, across the road from the beach and promenade, which is great to stroll along, as it takes you straight into the old town, it’s also very level, so great for all ages! There is a small road in front of the hotel but this does not block the view at all and means it’s a quiet location! The... More

Location was super-less than a km to the duomo and right on the beach and we had a nice view of the water and the Western horizon. Very nice and clean room, and it had an above average breakfast buffet. Only downside was that the internet was spotty at best and unavailable for the first day we arrived. The hotel... More

This hotel is right on the beach and, at least in February, was very quiet (it can't possibly be very quiet in July). Our host was very friendly and helpful and the room was fine. The only negative was that the Wifi didn't work with our Mac computers. They could probably fix this easily. More

The view from our room was one of the most beautiful we have had.The breakfast was very good , the decor was very interesting . The prices of the beverages are over the top but if money is not a problem then this hotel is a must for you. The main shopping street is only 5 minutes from the hotel... More

We stayed for three nights in this small hotel which is located accross the road from a fabulous beach and about 800m from the old town which is a pleasant walk along the seafront passing many vendors. We had an upstairs suite with a large balcony overlooking the beach with wondeful views. The room was large and very comfortable and... More

We stayed for two nights at Villa Gaia in September 2011. It is a good small hotel with a good location. The room was nice with a view of the sea. The location is a mixed bag. In terms of closeness to the beach, i give it excellent marks - the beach was just across the street. There were other... More
