Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

On the Mediterranean coastline, perched on a cliffside by the sea, these houses offer spectacular panoramic views of the stunning Sicilian scenery. The layout of the homes make them a great choice for families holidaying together, giving everyone the space to spread out and really make yourselves at home. Experience the romance of the villas by starting your day on the large terrace with the sun rising over the horizon. Breathe in the fresh sea air while you enjoy a moment of quiet alongside your breakfast. A refreshing walk around the area will help you get to know the lay of the land, but you'll no doubt find yourself wanting to head back for a refreshing dip in the pool. Spend your afternoon settled on a lounger under the sun with a good book while the barbecue heats up for a traditional Italian meal. The two wonderful yet contrasting villas are just a short stroll away from the beach and 5km from the charming seaside town of Cefalù. Climb on top of the La Rocca overlooking the town for amazing views or explore more of Sicily’s northern coastline by boat.
