Villa Arcipelago with access to the beach

Lovely location with beach access. There is a large pool and tennis court as well.

Amazing property & host. Would love to stay here again.

We toured much of Sicily. Cefalu was our last stop. We truly enjoyed our time there and stay at our VRBO. Our patio view over Mediterranean was to die for. Highly recommended dinner at restaurant next to VRBO , the Zyat. The host was very helpful.

We chose this property vs others of similar price with sea views primarily due to 1) outdoor kitchen (we like to cook) and 2) direct access to the sea (we like to explore). Hindsight, we chose well, and we spent plenty of time cooking outside, as well as exploring the coastline (water shoes are a must). Very nice property owner gave helpful suggestions for dining and activities. Kids said the shared pool wasn't as clean as our personal pool, but we never used it anyway. Love, love, love Sicily, especially downtown Cefalu. We all miss eating gelato in brioche buns and making simple high quality dinners on the patio.

Adriano was very communicative, and the house was exactly as described. Beautiful location!!!

House is clean and pleasant and comfortable for a family. Quiet out-of-the-way location, 9 minutes drive to Cefalu. Easy to park in Cefalu (in winter); in summer could be much harder. Beach at property was not usable or appealing...very rocky and lots of washed up detritus. Not sure about summer. Ocean view from house/patio would be spectacular, but is largely blocked by trees. House plumbing is borderline; sink barely drained, same with upstairs shower. Wireless was only really usable in living room. When we arrived, kitchen stove propane was turned off in the backyard, but Adriano talked us through turning it on. Nice that they left a bottle of wine and some pasta to prepare a meal, but there was no salt in the house so we had to make a trip to the nearby (very good) grocery store. Kitchen was small, with almost no counter space so tricky to cook for a group of 6. Cooking outside (in the summer) would be easier/nicer (induction stove on the patio). Patio is really nice. Despite complaints above, we enjoyed our 3-day stay.

My family and I stayed here for five days and we wish we could have stayed longer! The pictures do not do it justice. It is a private property with about six villas surrounding a pool in the middle. Located about 10 minutes outside the hustle and bustle of Cefalu. Our Villa also had its own dipping pool, which was great for a happy hour or an evening swim. You must go to the rocky beach just a few steps below (bring water shoes). It was private and the water was spectacular. The Villa had everything we needed: pots, pans, glasses, etc. Each room had its own air conditioning unit, which was a welcome luxury during the hot Sicilian days. Our host, Adriano, was so hospitable. He provided great recommendations and even checked in during our stay. Mille Grazie!

Honestly, our stay here could not have been more perfect. We were a week into our vacation and pretty tired when we arrived at Villa Arcipelago. It was the perfect respite for us and our four adult children. We had three options for relaxation and fun: down the steps to the rocky beach, the community infinity pool with views of the sea, or our own little private pool situated on the gorgeous patio. The Villa was clean and comfortable. Adriano could not have been more kind, helpful and flexible, as we changed our arrival time last minute. The information provided ahead of time with recommendations for activities and restaurants was very helpful. We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs, and this was our best experience to date. We would definitely stay here again.

The view of the sea and the private beach were incredibly lovely. We spent a lot of time on the covered patio watching the sea, listening to the birds sing, and inhaling the fragrance of the star jasmine flowers. The location is secluded and quiet, which was great for us; however, I would recommend having a car to stay here, as it is a 2 mile walk into town (or a €15 taxi ride), and there is no sidewalk for part of the way. Adriano was a great host, very helpful and attentive throughout our stay.

The access to the sea is great, excellent for snorkling. There is a small nice pool at the villa and a lovely large communal pool. The terrace is excellent, the inside of the house more modest. Sadly, the door from the house to the small pool was locked so you had to walk all the way round the house to get there. Moscitos were a big problem, so you need to seriously kit up.

Great property and a fantastic location. The outdoor area was the highlight. We spent most of our three days in the ocean, pool, or dining on the patio. Easy check-in and checkout process, and owner was very accessible by text
