Agriturismo Villa Cefalà

Poor

  : Grounds are well kept and are very pleasant - except my comments about the swimming pool below. The food in the restaurant for lunch and dinner was good but the management was quite chaotic. Room was clean and spacious.
  : The swimming pool is not just for the use of the guests at the agriturismo. On Saturdays and Sundays it is impossibly crowded as families from the area can just come and pay to use the pool, they stay all day and there were no sunbeds available around the pool and the pool was overcrowded. It was 40 degrees plus and this was a a really negative point for us as we had chosen a hotel where hopefully we could relax around the pool and it was noisy and chaotic. When my son and family arrived they could not use the swimming pool after 5pm because it had been let out for a private children's party. There is nowhere to have an aperitivo or drink other than the restaurant. Shower had sealant peeling off it and looked as if it needed replacement. No pool towels. Bare minimum of shower gel and shampoo. No water provided in room -no mini bar in room. Breakfast 10 euros per head was poor.

  : The pool was very big and the poolarea very cozy.We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good. The appartment spacious.A beautiful place with service in top.
  : We thought the beach was just across the street, but you had to walk a bit and it was private beachclubs. There was also a public beach but it was rocky.Be aware that the pool is very crowded on Sundays as they have a lot of local day-guests.

  : Nice enough restaurant at night, but I wouldnt go near it in the morning. The building itself was pretty spectacular actually. The room was large enough with good air con.
  : The pool was always very very busy. They let the public pay to use the swimming pool, which was OK in the week, but at the weekend, forget trying to get to the pool, it was soooooooo busy, just find somewhere else to go. Even if you manage to find a spot around the pool, getting in the pool with that amount of people isnt easy. Given that we paid for this with the room, we complained to the manager who basically just shrugged his shoulders. No apology, no offer of a complementary drink. Surround towns and places weren't particularly nice. The breakfast (which costs 10euros per person) was just awful! I wouldnt go back here. All nearby beaches you have to pay to use.

  : Not much. Breakfast was just ok. Nothing special. They serve croissants, bread roll, cheese and ham. They serve a fruit salad of water melon, canteloupe, and kiwi everyday. The lady working there is nice but doesn't speak or understand any English which was an issue for us as we don't speak Italian.
  : Same breakfast menu was off putting as we stayed for 9 nights.They have parties most nights from the public even weddings which leaves the place open to the public. The pool is open to public use and on weekends due to parties the pool is full. On week end there were more than 40 people in the pool at one time and due to the fact that there were no toilet facilities by the pool people were definitely using the pool or the 2 shower cubicles as they were all covered in green algae and smelt like sewage. We had been for 4 nights using the pool every day with no swimming caps, on the weekend our children were sent out of the pool and asked to wear swimming caps which we never had since we were not informed to bring them with us. We were forced to buy them from the hotel food kiosk or else we were not allowed in the pool which we did. It was hit on the day, 47 buy we were afraid of using the pool due to too many people. We ended up with swimming caps we never used. Parking can be an issue incase you go out and return in the evening as all space is taken by those attending the parties. Our rented car wind mirror was badly damaged but no chance to find out how as there are no cameras.

  : Resort-like location. Very nice swimming pool. Nice restaurant. Great location close to highway. We did not go to the seaside but used it to go in and out of Palermo. And it worked just fine. Staff was very helpful.

  : Loved the restaurant and the food there was great. Staff were excellent and friendly.
  : The accomodation was just ok, felt like it needs an upgrade. A couple of things stood out, hot water seemed to have a limit, early morning it was fine, late afternoon/evening not existent. The room lacks basic things like a kettle, some glasses to drink from, wifi was average had to sit in certain parts of room for connection. I didnt think it was worth the price paid for the accomodation received, has potential to be excellent with some upgrades.
