Leonardo, Eleonora, and their super helper with a gorgeous smile, Vanessa welcomed us with open arms! The beauty of their place and the spectacular view of the coast of Cefalu' are breathtaking!!!! We had a delicious dinner of Pasta and grilled Orata while enjoying the clear vista of the Aelion Islands. The grounds, the home, the lemon ochard, the perfume of Jasmine and Wisteria , the kittens, the couple of horses, the green mountain on our shoulders and the smiles of the other guests, made our very short stay even more memorable. We came as guests and left as friends 🧡 We can't wait to return once again . Carmelita and Patrick Scholes 😍 Washington D.C. USA

Very quiet and peaceful, great swimming pool with stunning view, beautiful garden (with two horses), comfortable and stylish room, friendly staff, dinner in the evening was good.

Sun goes behind the mountain in the afternoon (at least in October when we were there), so no sun on the pool. Not a biggy at all, but you may take this into account when planning your day. The property is quite remote on a steep road, so not very easy to go out in the evening. There were only a few other guests and the place turned empty after about 9 pm. We would have definitely booked a few extra nights if there was a bit more entertainment in the evening (music, bar, etc). It was almost end of the season, so perhaps it is different in high season.

Beautiful views, relaxing. Great house, it was nice to get into the pool. Rooms were nicely set, even had electric mosquito repellent which I really appreciated. The food was fabulous. Host ad Staff was very accommodating and nice.I had lost my adapter but they provided with one during my stay. It was very close to Cefalu, nice option if you want to take a break from the crowded touristy scene.

My only suggestion is to provide better pillows and to let visitors know on their website that it is easy to miss the turn to get to Turismo Rurale and alert they are going uphill, slightly winding and narrow road.

Beautiful location, incredible view, kind people — and a huge pool! Some other reviews said that the (paid) dinner wasn't good, but I tried it and found it really good — grilled fresh fish, a tasty salad as a started, and homemade tiramisu. I think I paid around 30 for it — not cheap but perfectly fine.

The bed was one of the hardest I've ever slept on — not comfortable at all.

Grounds were beautiful . Pool was great Breakfast was delicious and nice selection of food .

I don't speak Italian unfortunately , but when it came to the bill and the few questions I had , I didn't speak the language nor them mine .( English ) Also I wish they did more with the horses , all that land and they seem to be sequestered in one small area .

A beautiful, peaceful location with amazing views over the ocean. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Breakfast on the beautiful terrace was good with lots to choose from. We also had the most delicious evening meal. The best fish I have had in Sicily!! Absolutely perfectly cooked and so fresh. Such a relaxing place to stay, away from the very busy crowds in Cefalu. Wish we had stayed longer.

A few more choices of fruit at breakfast.

Breakfast was delicious and the place itself is beautifully located. Great pool that was clean and surrounding area well kept. Highly recommend for a quiet stay.

The location of the hotel is a little drive from the main city. However; if you are looking for a peaceful and comforting stay this is the right place.

The setting was absolutely stunning! the rustic yet extremely clean and beautifully designed spaces made us feel just as we had hoped, in a simple yet luxurious country estate. Views from the swimming pool were mouthdropping! it was so peacuful to be be able to watch the swallows dive down and caress the water surface in the heat of the day. Staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and always very helpful. we had a few absolutely delicious meals as well as lovely sunset aperitivi with fantastic antipasti of bruschette etc We rented a vespa from cefalu so we could get up and down independently of the very expensive taxis and it took around 10 minutes max and was soo much fun! we even visited the nearby towns of Castelbuono and Pollina on the motorino and it was great! The hotel staff even offered to drop us off in town when we needed to pick up the Vespa etc. Soo accomodating! Highly recommend!

The taxi fares (which we avoided after renting vespa)

Location is uniqe, country side and still close to Cefalu center The view is spactacular The old house is not ordinary

1/ the room has no window only a door to the share balcony There is not net for muscitos, so we could not open the door... 2/ we were surprized that children are allowed in this facility, it was noisy - apecially in the morning

the pool and setting staff helpful and friendly!

It was quite inconvenient not being able to pay for our food and drink with a credit card. Unfortunately we did not know this until we were leaving. All our establishments on our trip took a credit card. Now we might have to pay extra to wire the money to them. Also due to road work we had a very difficult time getting to the hotel but now road is completed.
