Very comfortable, well equipped apartment with nice view of the sea. Bonus was a washing machine downstairs, coin operated. We were greeted by very obliging young man, Alex, who helped us with heavy luggage.

Beautiful place Laura and Alex always on hand to help in any way. The views were spectacular from swimming pool. Beautiful balcony. The town of cefalu is a very special place with great little streets and squares

Hill home

We got a warm welcome when arriving to Villa Santa Barbara. We got introduced to the hotel and nearby services and offered cold water after the ”hike” to the hotel. Room was big, nice and had fantastic view to the sea and mountains from a big balcony. Hotel had beautiful garden where customers had many places to enjoy the view and sunbath. Pool had an amazing view to the sea as well. Hotel bar was open and we got to taste new drinks from a capable bartender who gave us the best tips about restaurants and places to visit. Many thanks for him! We had great time in Villa Santa Barbara and in whole Cefalu and would highly recommend others to visit as well! Thanks and warm regards to the receptionists! ☺️

Nice pool with grassed area to kick back and relax for a few hours from the hustle and bustle. Spacious clean rooms and balcony with fabulous view. Staff are great.

The trek uphill from town after a night out requires a bit of effort so take taxi if you don't fancy the walk.

The pool was perfect, it was always spotlessly clean, big and deep enough for swimming and jumping:) The garden was also beautiful with the huge olive trees! The location of the property was also good, a bit outside of the town, but with a panoramic view to the sea. To get into the city and the oldtown is a 15 min walk, uphill on the backway. With smaller kids it can be challenging during the summer; for us with a bit bigger kids ( aged 7,9,12) it was not a problem.

Nope

Our expectations were based on the reviews in Booking but were exceeded immediately as we entered the premises! The hosts were very friendly and guest-oriented (thumbs up for Laura and Alex), the premises well maintained and clean, and we were amazed by the spectacular view of the Mediterranean. We spent a lot of time at the pool, enjoyed some amazing coctails from Alex and even used the BBQ on the premises for a nice family dinner. We enjoyed our time at Villa Santa Barbara a lot! The house is a short walk away from the Cefalu center, but a bit further from the beach. The walk is perfectly doable for adults; we however have two small kids and so we used the car whenever we went down to the center. I guess this could be seen as a downside, but the view from the pool is totally worth it.

The smallest apartments don't offer a kitchenette.

Friendly staff, beautiful location and view, pool, clean. We have absolutely nothing to complain about. Kitchen well equipped.

Nothing

Amazing villa slightly outside Cefalu town (15-20min walk). Lovely pool and sun loungers. apartment was spacious and very clean with all necessary utensils. Staff were so kind and helpful - Laura and Alex did everything they could to help and make our stay enjoyable! Alex also makes the best Aperol Spritz!!

The pool closes from 14.00-16.00hrs every day which was a little inconvenient.
