Hotel Alberi del Paradiso

Hotel Alberi del Paradiso

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel and good place to choose when staying in Cefalù. Rosanna provided a warm welcome to the hotel - thank you. Nice room with balcony - complete with two deck chairs and awning shade. Well equipped, including a kettle. Free parking on-site. Nice landscaped grounds. Walk to old town includes a number of steps as hotel is located higher up the hill. Easy for able bodied souls, but something to be considered if otherwise."

What luxury activities and experiences are there in Cefalù?
The best area to stay in Cefalù for luxury experiences is generally around the historic Old Town and along the coastal stretch leading towards Mazzaforno.

The Old Town, or 'Centro Storico', is the heart of Cefalù. It's characterised by its narrow, cobbled streets, mediaeval buildings, and direct access to the sea. The Cefalù Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, dominates the skyline, and the main street, Corso Ruggero, runs through the middle, connecting the Piazza Duomo to the old harbour. This area is superb for those who appreciate history and being right where the action is, with many high-end restaurants and boutiques tucked away in its lanes.

You'll find boutique hotels offering sea views and easy access to the town's best dining. Many establishments here provide private balconies overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, superb for an evening aperitivo. You're also a stone's throw from the Cefalù beach, known for its soft sand and clear waters.

Travellers looking for more expansive luxury and privacy might prefer properties located slightly outside the immediate Old Town, particularly towards Mazzaforno. This area offers larger resorts and villas, often with private pools, extensive grounds, and direct beach access. These locations usually provide shuttle services or are a short drive from the town centre, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.
