Hotels near Palazzo Vescovile, Cefalu

We have just returned from a week in the beautiful town of Cefalu in Sicily - an area which we first visited in 2017. This time we stayed in the Astro Suite Hotel and here are our comments (some positive and some negative) which hopefully will help others to make a decision on where to stay: The good: Location - the hotel is in an excellent location being just across the road from the main beach at Cefalu and less than a 10 minute walk from the old town where there are lots of restaurants and shops to wander around. The best restaurants we found were La Brace and Le Chat Noir. There is a very good supermarket (Deco) around a 5 minute walk from the hotel which stays open until 10pm. Also, the train station at Cefalu has trains direct to Palermo in under an hour should you wish to visit the capital. Cleanliness - the rooms and all areas of the hotel are super clean. Towels are changed daily. Kitchenette - well equipped with everything you'd need if you wanted to cook. Staff - without exception, the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Swimming pool - the hotel has a small swimming pool with sun loungers. The pool is rather shallow but fine if you have young children. The not-so-good: Breakfast - the hotel serves a continental-style breakfast, so no hot food at all. We found the choice to be rather limited. I think the hotel should offer a wider selection of cold meats and cheeses than they currently do. Sun loungers on beach - the hotel does not have its own private area of the beach and therefore the sun loungers come at a charge. For us (3 people) this came to 35 euros per day (and more expensive at the weekend). So if you are staying for a week or more, this can add up to quite a significant amount. The hotel does loan parasols free of charge though if you don't mind laying out a towel on the sand. Beach hawkers - there seems to be a large number of people walking up and down the beach trying to sell you stuff all day long. Gets rather tiresome. Check-out - the time for checking out of the hotel on your last day is 10.30am. However, if you are not leaving for the airport until later in the day the only facility the hotel can offer you to have a shower before you leave is the outside shower by the side of the pool and then to get changed in the toilet cubicle near reception. Not very satisfactory!

This Victoria Place room in Cefal has no surprises, but the location is very good, right by the sea, you can sit in the open-air bar area outside the gate to watch the sunset, especially the view of the rooftop breakfast room is worth mark... In addition, the hotel’s underground The entrance to the car park is on Via Pintorno on the back of the hotel. It is not possible to get around from the front of the hotel.

The place it’s behind the train station, but any way you have to walk up- all around like 15minutes. It’s on 2nd floor apartment no Lift. It’s 4 or 5 rooms inside. Room it’s normal size. Bathroom it’s little bit small. There is no water. The air conditioner was on my left side my head .. so it’s possible to turn on - otherwise next day you will be sick. So about the breakfast There was a plate with 3 very small pieces of cheese - like 1sm -3sm mix together with meat - so I ask the girl for clean cheese 🧀 that’s not mix with meat - she say - she only that and tell me to take out the meat …so this is no comment . Was yogurt with sugar- my guy is diabetic. Was cake - that’s also sugar.and she have it some kind of very old apricot .. so we couldn’t eat anything.. just drink espresso.. what we understand it’s - once you pay - they don’t F… care more about you. Pity I don’t do foto for the breakfast.. I was so disappointed.. the way she talk to me .. that we go in our room .. take our language and we go. So we will never go more there.

My wife and I traveled for one week in Sicily. We stayed 4 nights at this resort and we enjoyed it immensely. It started with the check in process by Angela. She was wonderful describing all the benefits of the resort. She then smiled and said we had been upgraded to room 407. This was fantastic because this particular room was a suite with two different balconies, one facing the sea and one facing the gardens and pool. The entire ground are superbly maintained and clean. The rooms spotless, which is very important to my wife and I. The restaurant and bar staff provided great service with a smile, always willing to provide directions or recommendations. The food itself, while good was not great. Breakfast was good and a great way to start our site seeing. Be prepared to take a ten minute walk down into town. The walk back up to the resort can be challenging, but taxi's are plentiful and only 15 Euro. The resort itself is very laid back. It provided a quite get away that we were looking for. We will be back, and we highly recommend this resort.

We had a fantastic holiday. Love the hotel. It's authentic and Italian. We had no complaints about the food; there was plenty of choice. The room was immaculately clean and towels and sheets were changed frequently. We weren't affected by noise - there is a main road just outside but we were able to shut the balcony door at night and keep the air con on. The pool was lovely and it was peaceful by the pool. Staff were generally friendly - it helps if you can say a few words in Italian, particularly thank you. The staff work hard - all hours. I sometimes feel embarrassed to be British as the Brits can always find something to complain about. The weather could not have better and we loved the beach. All tourists were polite, friendly and well behaved. The 2K walk to Cefalu old town is lovely. The town itself is beautiful and full of culture and beautiful buildings. There are plenty of places to eat and lots of delicious ice cream and cannoli. I don't know what people want at times. We would give it 4 stars. Depends what you want of course. Might be different when the kids are off school. We went out of school time. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic structure. Perfectly nestled in nature. Direct lift to the beach. Resort-like in some respects but luxurious. Many relaxation areas and many sporting activities. Or recreational. The sunsets and sunrises are unique. To try.
