Stayed Aug 10, 2023We all had an absolutely wonderful time. Villa Cecilia is everything we hoped for, and more. We loved the design of the house and the garden, inside and out. The pool is lovely and a good size. It was perfect for relaxing. Castlebuono, the nearby town, was really worth a visit, particularly the frescos in the church crypt. We had an incredible meal at La Posada restaurant, many dishes all cooked by Signora Rosa. A day trip to Palermo was easy taking the train from Cefalu. I'm only sorry not to have explored the Madonie national park more but the villa was so relaxing and restorative that we rationed our days out! Visiting Pollina up top had fantastic views and intriguing narrow streets while all our groceries came from Finale at the bottom. We would all go back again.

Stayed Jun 2, 2023The house was in a beautiful setting close, in a car, to the lovely hilltop Pollina with its restaurants and at the bottom of the hill Finale with supermarkets. Initially we were concerned as layout of property not ideal for toddlers but Andrea had provided a cot and we managed - great family eating area. Thanks we would recommend the place to others

Stayed Aug 28, 2021The house was wonderful and provided enough space to comfortably house 7 people. The view is stunning, overlooking the sea. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Stayed Jun 28, 2019We loved staying at this house; the design of the house is thoughtful and visionary. The grounds are perfumed with jasmine and the view of the sea set a really wonderful tone. We would love to come back!

Stayed Jun 18, 2017We very much enjoyed out stay at Villa Cecilia. The house and setting are very beautiful, it is well equipped and a real plus is that it is designed in such a way that there are many different and private spaces so you can have some time alone should you choose to do so, without sacrificing comfort or view. The nearby towns and beach are interesting and charming and they provide everything you might need in terms of basic services. I would stress that this is a place to go if you are not looking for a lot to do, but if you want to kick back by the pool, play at the beach and make an adventure of shopping for supplies, wandering through labyrinthine cobblestone streets with amazing views everywhere you look, this place is perfect. Our one frustration is that the house didn’t come with any information. We were met by two charming women – we think perhaps one of them was, in fact, Cecilia – but they didn’t speak any English so even though they ran around and showed us how most things worked, we weren’t able to ask questions and we only understood bits and pieces. We had to figure everything out on our own which wasn’t horrible, but other rentals have provided info like the closest grocer, recommended restaurants and how to deal with the trash and recycling, to name a few examples. The owner, who we made all the arrangements with, does speak English, but we never met him and he deferred everything to one of the women. Overall, we would recommend Villa Cecelia. The views, the setting, the house, the nearby beach all make up for any communication lapses.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We are a family of four with two teenage boys and we truly loved our stay in this amazing villa. We have stayed here during the summer so we could enjoy both the indoor as well as the outdoor area of the house. The design of the house, build around a central courtyard, offers many ‘moments’ to enjoy. Views are great from every room and the interior design is (without exception) very tasteful, which is very rare in a vacation home. The outside area offers many different possibilities, for outdoor dining, reading and sunbathing near the pool. We could have easily spent the week in/around the house, but we’ve also enjoyed the beautiful surroundings (Pollina has a spectacular setting, but, even more so, we loved going to Castelbuono, a very lively town with great restaurants). We definitely recommend this villa and hope to return someday!
