“Ageing Hippies”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We booked this hotel on the internet for a recent trip to Cefalu - we had intended staying a week but extended our stay to 11 nights as we were so happy with it. As the others have said, it is convenient for the station, the many restaurants and for the beach. It was an added bonus having free access to the Poseiden Beach with the sun loungers and the 15% discount at the Beach Bar - unfortunately this closes at the end of October. The staff were very friendly and helpful, room was good although it would have been better to have had a couple of easy chairs in it and beware of the mosquitoes - no matter how hard we tried to avoid them we were bitten every night. Plenty of toiletries and endless supply of hot water.

“Everything as it should be.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

Very big room, king size bed, air-conditioning plus all necessary comforts. Big bathroom, professional furnishings, courteous management, good breakfast. Not right in the middle of the town but then the short walk along the sea front to the centre is very pleasant. Less than 10 minutes walk to the station. For us, it was a good place for an overnight stay. We would stay here again if we needed a room overnight with all comforts and didn’t want to be bothered with problems. Well merits its 3 stars.

“Lovely quiet hotel with helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

We found this hotel was ideal for us. Quiet and comfortable with very helpful staff, especially Francesca, but all were fine and would answer queries, arrange transfers etc. We had a beautiful view from our room.
It is also conveniently near to the station for trains and to the town.

“Great little Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

This was a last minute decision on my part to escape from Palermo and the horrible hotel I was in. Cefalu is a one hour train ride from Palermo and a quaint little seaside town of about 15,000 residents. The hotel is a small 12 room place which is nicely decorated, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was adequate, although not as good as some others I had stayed in. The waitress made cappucino for you as required. There is no elevator, but staff helped me with my bag to my second floor room which was spacious with a large bathroom and a balcony. There is no restaurant on the premises but a short safe walk along the waterfront will bring you to many restaurants.
Francesca, at the front desk was very helpful and made several phone calls for me to Alitalia.
It costs 10 Euros by taxi to and from the train station. Sky TV is in the rooms, so there are plenty of channels from which to choose.

“Villa Gaia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

Great little 12 room hotel across the street from the beach.The two big fancy hotels are on either side a block away. The people managing this place were wonderful. Just far enough from the center to be nice and quiet. Very good value.

Room Tip: Spring for one of the suites, front top floor, ocean view.
