Beachfront vacation rentals in Cefalù

Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

Great place! Close to grocery store, next to the beach, walking distance to Old Town. There are 40 steps to the apartment without any lift which was fine with us, but may be an issue for others. Overall, was fantastic!

We had a beautiful time in the apartment - we loved the views and the kitchen was well equipped for homemade meals! It was a shame we had to take our rubbish so far, and some surfaces in the kitchen didn’t feel clean. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!

Erika is a beautiful and loving host who asked us in between if everything was okay and if we needed anything. The place is very nice and stylishly decorated. The cottage as well as bathroom is well maintained and very clean. You have plenty of space and can move freely outside in the garden, as well as cook comfortably. Nothing was missing in the accommodation and we were provided with a lot of food that we could use. I recommend it to everyone, especially families but also friends. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk away and it is clean and the water is clear. We would come back here!!

To stay at “Oasi delle Sallinelle” is a one of a kind experience, in anyway - inside and out! You can have a private and relaxed time at the property and its connected beach as well as cultural and culinary excursions in Cefalù! You’ll be surrounded by a precious, natural and wild environment, although your NOT in the middle of nowhere and there’s a lot of lovingly designed rooms and spaces for comfort and coziness. We felt at home, relaxing inbetween gardens of fruits, olives, cuddling kittens and two sweet dogs, that gonna melt your heart. Dario e Agnes are the most lovely and committed hosts, we could have dreamed of. They try to fulfill every wish, in such a warm and friendly way, that let us participate so easily and get sustainably connected to this special place, its animal and human inhabitants! 🥰We’ll come back as soon as possible and recommend, to all the people, that enjoy an individual, natural but also comfy vacation, to do the same! Grazie amici, ci vediamo presto! ♥️

Well equipped Air BnB, 15 minutes drive from Cefalù. Quiet neighbourhood with friendly locals. Vincenzo is a responsive host and gave great recommendations for restaurants. The view from the bedroom is great. Easy parking 2 minutes away from accommodation. Would recommend!

I’m almost at a loss of where to begin with how much my family and I enjoyed Diego’s incredible accommodation and hospitality! As a beach fanatic, this was the perfect location to enjoy a private and gorgeous location on the Mediterranean. No picture can do justice to the jaw-dropping water and the hours I happily spent wandering the coastline. Others have mentioned the generous spread of local treats Diego and his family provided - I can not overstate how helpful and welcome this was throughout our stay. Because of this, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals most nights; not because we were intending to be frugal (we are vacationing after all!), but because the items he provided were just that copious and delicious. The property grounds are lush and pristine, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the craftsmanship of the home is gorgeous. Most importantly perhaps, Diego and his family made US feel like family. Responsive, warm & a true taste of hospitality.

The house is perfect for enjoying Mondello beach, comfortable and complete with everything, including parking. Benedetto is an exceptional host, he also welcomed us with some very welcome surprises and allowed us flexible hours. Highly recommended :-)

What a dream place! We had the most amazing vacation in the villa. We stayed at the home with 6 adults and 2 young children (1,5). The master bedroom is almost like a small apartment in its self. There is a room on the ground floor which was perfect for my parents in law who are less mobile. The place is spacious and beautiful. The garden is amazing with the private swimming pool and tennis court. We played tennis every day. The location is also very nice, walking distance from both the beach and the town. We would highly recommend to stay at this place! One of our best vacations ever!

The place was amazing, super well kept and extremely clean. Enzo was a wonderful host and very friendly throughout our entire stay. The house itself was beautiful and was a very short walk from a lovely beach. Would recommend this location to anyone!

We had a wonderfull time at Guiseppe’s place! We really enjoyed the pool and the appartement felt right at home!

What a magical place in beautiful Sicily this is! We had an amazing stay and spent a good amount of time at the Villa as it’s a wonderful place to be. The outside environment is superb, so tranquil and peaceful. The pool was perfect for hot days and we spent a lot of time being competitive on the table tennis table. The short walk to a stunning private beach was a huge bonus. The villa is a short drive from the beautiful town of Cefalu which is a must to visit. I would 100% recommend Salvatore’s place to anyone looking for a a peaceful stay in Sicily.

The welcome at the place was very warm, Umberto was very helpful and straightforward. He recommended restaurants, bars, and bakeries that were really worth it. The place was fine, but unfortunately not clean enough for our taste. The equipment leaves something to be desired (quality of dishes, pans, mattress, pillow, iron (full of sand), etc.). As a blanket, we only had a thin sheet, which is not enough in April. The decor is beautiful and cozy, and the outdoor area also invites you to linger. The outdoor area is not really clearly separated, which leads to basically sharing everything with all guests. It may be a small minus point if you don't like it. Had a nice time despite everything.

Had a great stay here! Umberto was a fabulous host. He was responsive and extremely helpful, with lots of recommendations to help us with our stay. The place was very clean, with great amenities. It’s also a couple of steps away from the beach. Around there are lots of bars and restaurants you are able to walk to. I would also recommend listening to Umberto and taking his recommendations for the neighbouring city of Cefalù.

100/10 the house was so beautiful and looked just like the photos. The pool was clean and amazing with rafts and a diving board. Air conditioning inside the house, beautiful garden and lots of outside space to sit and enjoy. Emanuele was super responsive and helpful every time we needed anything. His father and mother met us at the house for check in and were super lovely!! They set up a surprise of snacks and treats and made us feel like family. They also gave us some local recommendations and had waters and coffee at the house. Everything you need is right at the house and the grocery store is 5 minute drive away.

don’t even know where to start! just a perfect place in Mondello, pristine clean, freshly renovated, fresh pastries every morning, incredible sea view, infinite swimming pool, steam room, super comfortable bed, welcome drinks, free parking and obviously the most hospitable and loving hosts ever!!! Angelo’s wife even did my laundry on the request, just truly splendid in every detail felt like home and definitely will come back thank you beautiful Barbarella and Angelo for this time

We spent a lovely week in Vincenzo's apartment. It was spacious, very well equipped and had a magnificent terrace. There was a choice of sun or shade throughout the whole day at this time of year. The apartment is centrally situated, with the beach, the Rock, local shops and a supermarket all within 10 minutes walk. Vincenzo and his son, Antonio, were friendly and responsive hosts.

A beautiful villa with amazing views. The villa was spotless and decorated nicely. Everything you needed was available, great kitchen. The village of Sant’Ambrogio was 15 minutes walk away which had a few nice restaurants and bars. The beach was 15 minutes walk and beautiful. Cefalu was a 10 minute drive. Great stay!

We had the most amazing stay and would definitely come back. The location was right downtown Cefalú, with all restaurants, the beach, the cathedral, many shops in walking distance. The sea view from balcony and living room were nothing but stunning. And lastly Eleonora was a fantastic host; she helped us with local recommendations, checked in on us to see if we needed help and made sure we had everything we needed for our baby daughter. A real happy place!

We had a fab time at Pasquale’s apartment. We loved the compact design and the fact that it was away from the immediate hubbub of the town. Loved the local restaurants, particularly the three up the hill looking out to the sea. Fabulous sunsets. We hired a car for the last few days and went on some lovely walks in the mountains. Parking was fine and accessible around the port area of Cefalú.

Santina's apartment is perfectly located in Cefalu old town literally 5 minutes from everythng. There is a great terrace overlooking the sea which was great for enjoying a coffee or just reading a book. The street below is full of restaurants and shops but the apartment is insulated from any street noise. Everything is new and modern. It really was perfect for us.

Did not want to leave! This place is amazing with the lemon trees all around the property and your own personal beach a short and beautiful walk from the front door. Communication with the host was great, we ran out of propane for the stove and hot water heater and literally within 5 minutes the bottles were replaced. We had planned on traveling around the island but we ended up just using the BBQ every day and relaxing on the beach. If you see this place on your listings you need to book it now. There is an outdoor shower! I never even used the one in the house!

Salvatore is an excellent host - he helped us from the moment we arrived in town and was responsive, kind and helpful all throughout our stay. The apartment is located perfectly for the beach, restaurants and bars, and the old town area. Salvatore gave us a lot of recommendations from a locals perspective too. It was a comfortable stay, the listing had everything we needed. We would stay here again whenever we’re back in Cefalu!

A truly exceptional Airbnb; the space has been very cleverly, thoughtfully and stylishly planned using high quality materials. It has been furnished and equipped to the best standards in design and function. The very pretty balcony and the beautiful lighting features complete the picture. In every way the apartment does justice to its lovely location on a quiet street in a beautiful, historic and vibrant town.
