    There were no freezer facilities so no frozen food could be bought, I.e ice creams and no ice could be made for drinks which was a shame.

    Didn’t request breakfast

    Spent 4 nights in this resort. Can honestly say it was the cleanest & most well kept resort with well maintained beautiful gardens & a lovely pool. The accommodation was very spacious , the open staircase quite steep but didn’t find it a problem. Giuseppe was very kind and helpful & gave us a few tips . It’s a short drive into the main town & found easy parking on sea front & then explored the lovely old town of Cefalu on foot. Just a few minutes walk from the resort is a beautiful beach & cove . Ideal for young children as lots of rock pools & shallow waters edge . The walk was a little steep but no problems . There are sunbeds for hire but we took our own as there were areas for these too. A great stay & location perfect in a very secure resort.

    The pillows weren’t great and the kitchen could have had a little more stuff for cooking. We found that we were a bit short of bowls. Also the village itself doesn’t really have anything like restaurants or shops so you have to drive to get anything

    Clean, very well equipped for a family stay. Very friendly manager and staff. Excellent pool. Good facilities.

    Internet access disappointed. We gave up and needed to use data allowance. Fortunately we didn't have the need to use it frequently.

    It was quiet and safe as this a locked complex with around 14 self-catering houses. Short walk to the beach and short drive to Cefalu. It was equipped with anything we needed and any request was dealt with quickly. The grounds taken care of meticulously.

    It was a shame that the pool wasn’t open for the first part of the trip or the cafe area but we were at the start of season.

    Loved the accommodation being split on two levels and the size and depth of the pool. Facilities both in and al fresco were fab.

    During the weekend there was some noise from outside that kept our young one up. They stopped on time but not for a four year old.

    Close to Chefalu with a very nice swimming pool that is 2.5 meters deep (you can dive).. The outside kitchen is brilliant and in the shade. Beds are good.
