Villa Laura with pool.

Lovely property with lots of outdoor space . Very pleasant stay . Lovely quiet area, close the beach and a few restaurants/bars. Kitchen area a little small if you’re cooking but not a major issue

A short stay in northern Sicily We were a bit late arriving at the villa, due to appalling weather and roadworks on the autostrada from Taormina, but were welcomed warmly by Tiziana, and found the villa to be very comfortable and pretty much exactly as described. We had a bit of luck with the weather and managed an afternoon by the very nice pool on the second day. Da Pietro trattoria/pizzeria is about 100m away and the food was really nice (great seafood risotto). Be very careful not to attempt to drive into Cefalu, as the police strictly enforce the residents-only access policy. Also don't attempt to drive in Palermo, as it's very congested and quite chaotic. However, we loved visiting this city, using the fast train from Lascari (station is about 3km away). Don't miss the Piazza dei Normani and the co-located Capella Valentine - the frescos are incredibly beautiful and totally awe-inspiring. We also liked seeing the Cathedral (in Arab-Norman style, with beautiful ornamentation. Villa Laura is comfortable and well-situated for exploring the region around Cefalu. We really enjoyed our stay. Grazie Tiziana!
