Vi bokade rum med sea view men när vi kom fram sa de att på alla rum står det Seaview när man bokar från Expedia/hotels.

Satisfactorio.
En general bien, dado que está bien ubicado y buenos accesos.
Si bien es nuevo el local le faltan algunos detalles a mejorar : al baño le faltan toalleros , porta rollo, jaboneras ,etc.
El desayuno es bastante limitado .
Buena atención de su propietario y del personal.

ALBERGO COMODO VICINO AL CENTRO STORICO
Ottimo albergo a due passi dal centro storico di Cefalu. Gradevole anche la spiaggia frontemare. Personale gentile, ottima colazione sulla terrazza
TORNO A RIPETERE CHE LE CAMERE DESTINATE A CHI AVEVA PRENOTATO CON BOOKING ERANO MOLTO E DICO MOLTO MIGLIORI DI QUELLE RISERVATE AD EXPEDIA TUTTO ALLO STESSO PREZZO.
Nice and friendly staff took care of us even though it was off season. The grade would have been higher if not for the maintenance and construction during our stay.

Halpa majoitus hyvällä paikalla
Hinta-laatu-suhde kunnossa. Hyvä palvelu, mainio aamupala ja lähellä sekä ranta että nähtävyyksiä. Huone oli melko vanha ja vähän rapistunut, mutta kohtuullisen siisti. Wi-Fi toimi hiukan hitaasti.
berbat bir otelde kaldigimizi dusunuyoruz. odalar inanilmaz pisti. ilk gecemizde cok rahatsiz uyuyorken ikinci gecemizde uyuyamayacak derecede ses vardi. oda temizligi icin belli saatleri varmis ve bunu bize iletmediler. bebegimiz oldugu icin odanin uyandiktan sonra temizlenmesini istedik, tamam dediler. uyandiktan sonra zaman doldu temizleyemeyiz dediler ki 10 dk gecmis. kendilerine oda temizlensin diye resmen yalvardik.
kahvaltilar hic guzel degildi. ancak zaten beklentimiz yoktu.
otelin konumu iyiydi. bu konuda olumsuz yorum yapmak yanlis olur.
personel cok ama cok suratsiz ve ilgisizdi. iclerinden sadece kahvaltidaki bayan guler yuzluydu.
Excellent location right opposite the beach, with a carpark next door. An easy 10 minute walk to the old town for restaurants, shops, etc. We had a "new" room with our own terrace giving a nice view of town and sea. It was, apart from the dreadful lilac tiles in the bathroom, very nice and very comfortable. Looking at other reviews it seems that some of the other rooms may not be quite so nice, so ask for rooms 11a or 11b. Free loungers and umbrellas on a nearby beach.
Alberto and staff were very friendly and helpful up to a point. Not exactly forthcoming with info, but our few questions were answered. Breakfast was ok, though it would have been nice if the fresh fruit had been a bit riper (and therefore edible). The building is quite quirky and unassuming. Very nice garden. One major gripe (which other reviewers have mentioned) - the wifi reception was dreadful and very unreliable - time for a new router I think?
All in all a good place to stay in Cefalu without breaking the bank.
Gebucht wurde ein Appartment für eine Nacht. Das Haus liegt direkt am Strand, hat einen Parkplatz am Haus (Parkplatznot an der Promenade und im Ort ist normal). Bei Ankunft war der Gastgeber überrascht und offensichtlich überbucht (Personalaussage). Das Haus wäre wahrscheinlich OK gewesen. Uns wurde mit blumigen Worten ein viel "besseres Appartment" in Cefalu (ca. 15 Fußmin. entfernt) angepriesen, das sollte auch noch 2 €(!) weniger kosten. Das Auto sollte am Haus geparkt werden, wir würden gefahren werden. Gutgläubig hatten wir uns zunächst überreden lassen. Das Ergebnis: Nach und nach stellte sich heraus, dass das Apartment an der Fußgängerzone lag (Auto 15 min entfernt) in einem stark abgewohnten Haus. Bis spät in die Nacht und morgens ab 5 Uhr gab es eine erhebliche Geräuschkulisse. Der Boden war unzureichend gesäubert (Flusen alte Haare, auch im frisch bezogenen Bett), Sitzkissen fleckig, Überzug verschlissen, Austrittsbalkon voll Müll und Taubenkot, Bad: Duschschlauch gerissen, Stange angerostet, Geschirr nicht sauber, sichtbare Staubschichten (z. B. auf der Lampe) usw. Kurzum: Wir fanden, dass das Quartier weit vom gebuchten Standard entfernt war, dass wir mit unehrlichen Worten in ein Apartment gelockt wurden und auch noch bis auf 2 € den gleichen Preis zahlen sollten. Wegen der schwierigen Umstände mussten wir eine Nacht in Kauf nehmen. Durch massiven Druck wurde eine mäßige preisliche Nachbesserung erreicht. Daruafhin wurden wir erpresst die Buchung zu stornieren.
This is a nice family-run hotel right on the beach. It is about 10 min walk from downtown Cefalu, and 5 min walk to a large grocery shop. The stuff of the hotel was very friendly and accomodating. The hotel has a convenient free parking lot (it is a nightmare to park in the old town) and free wifi. The hotel also has a small garden where one can relax.
Excelente ubicacion para los dias de playa y a no mas de diez minutos de caminata del Centro historico y de la Marina de Cefalú . Desayuno normal no excesivo y por el viento no pudimos aprovechar el tomarlo sobre la terrazita del hotel con vista al maravilloso mar.
We arrived at 11.20pm and parked in the free car park (just a small plot of land next to the hotel). We were greeted warmly then taken to our room promptly. Very nice, clean, modern room with good power shower and fridge (but not very cold). It was mid April so out of season (starts June) so not too busy at the hotel or in the town which is a 10 minute walk away. Our breakfast was included in our price and was a tray served to our table, either inside or out, and a mix of bacon and egg with bread and continental (with a local orange!). We were offered free refills of coffee if we had wanted it. Picture-postcard scenery and lovely beach just across the road. WiFi in the room was good at first but then kept dropping out as the hotel got busier. Rooms are accessible from the outside with their own key, so no curfews. Bedroom was made up every day but they only supply towels and hand wash. Plenty of places to eat in the old town at reasonable prices. Plenty of souvenir shops too! Local supermarket is a 5/10 min. walk away. We hired a car at the airport (beware of the need to buy accident and breakdown insurance! We booked the hire car in the UK for £4 a day but when we got to the desk in Palermo, were persuaded to buy the £79 insurance for 3 days. We didn't need it, but it came close a couple of times!) and drove into the mountains - not to be ventured into lightly- but so worth it! Breathtaking views and historical buildings (eg. Castle in Caccamo). Would definitely use again.
Arrivée en début de soirée, légère mauvaise surprise devant une porte fermée et personne pour nous ouvrir. On appelle le numéro fourni avec la réservation et il s'avère que le propriétaire ne nous avait tout simplement pas entendu sonner. Avant de nous amener à la chambre, il nous fait déplacer la voiture dans un parking privé. La chambre est de taille très respectable, confortable avec une salle de bain privative et le WiFI gratuit. L'établissement est situé à 2 pas de la plage et à 10mn à pied du centre ville et de la cathédrale, quartier qui regorge de restaurants et de bars. Nuit très calme et donc reposante, petit déjeuner copieux et de qualité, nous n'avons pas été déçus. Nous recommendons cet établissement pour vos séjours à Cefalu.
Personal sehr freundlich .Zimmer auf den 1. Blick ganz schön. Bei genauerem hinsehen aber viele Mängel bei der Sauberkeit. Zahnputzglas total verkalkt und fleckig. Absolut hellhörig. Frühstück draußen. Auswahl des Frühstücksbüffet auf einem kleinen Tisch, nur süßes.
Cefalu is beautiful! Luciano and the rest of the Villa Cerniglia staff were brilliant, took amazing care of us! Perfect location, just across the road from the beach.
Great location, nice rooms, free beach beads. The reception and the personal was always service mined and helped us with every question. We will always choose this hotel if we come back to Cefalu!

Vi stannade som tur var här i bara en natt. Vi fick ingen tvål eller extra toapapper och det stod en askkopp och luktade utanför vår dörr. Frukosten var ett skämt men läget var bra.
El hotel esta muy bien situado en primera línea de playa y a 5 minutos del centro del pueblo, pero además la habitación era amplia y cómoda. Muy limpio todo. Desayuno completo. Personal muy agradable
