Faraglioni, luxury villas with direct access to the beach in Cefalù, Sicily

Located on one of Sicily’s most gorgeous hills overlooking the sea, with private downhill access to the sea, very near the splendid village of Cefalù. 180 degree sea views. Suitable for families with teenagers and couple friends.

This fabulous house is situated in the most desirable area of Cefalù just outside the town, in what is considered to be one of the most fascinating places in Sicily. The promontory upon which the house sits is completely surrounded by water and 3 small beaches are tucked away and hidden in its rocky folds. The property and its stunningly panoramic position with superb sea views is immersed in lush lawns and a well-cared-for garden and overlooks the “Faraglioni” (outer rocks) of Cefalù. A private beach can be reached via the garden gate and on the other side of the house, steps lead down to a rocky platform by the beautiful cobalt-blue sea. Access to the beach is reserved to the owners of the surrounding villas so even at the height of summer it is quite often deserted.

Property details

A smart and luxurious villa, tastefully furnished with selected pieces of antique furniture and paintings. The owners flair and attention to detail has created a cool and relaxing atmosphere. To one side of the house there is a large patio surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and below here an outdoor table for 8, armchairs and couches making it the ideal spot for dining by candle light as night falls. Adjacent to this is the barbecue area and outoor cooking facilities too. To the other side is a splendid lawned garden with lots of hidden corners overlooking the beach and the rocks below. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a sitting room with a large picture window looking out to sea, a dining room, a small living room with a fireplace and the kitchen. Upstairs, on the first floor there are four bedrooms in total - two twin bedrooms and two doubles - and 3 bathrooms (one with a tub for a relaxing soak) and a small study with a fireplace. Three of the bedrooms have spectacular views-what a way to start the day!

Notre séjour ,passé dans la villa Farglioni , nous a laissé un souvenir inoubliable et apprécié en tous points par les trois couples. Le lieu répondait parfaitement à nos attentes . Cadre extérieur dont nous avons pu apprécier pleinement tous les aspects, petites terrasses multiples en front de mer, cuisine extérieur autour du barbecue très fonctionnelle et parfaitement positionnée pour apprécier la vue tout en préparant les repas . Et il ne faut pas oublier la cadre intérieur , décoré et aménagé avec gout, salon , salle à manger et chambres toutes bercés au bruit de la mer . L'accueil et tous les contacts préalables à la location et lors du départ se sont également superbement déroulés , toutes demandes de précision ayant à chaque fois obtenus une réponse. Merci de nous avoir permis de vivre ces moments. Claude DUCHENE

Hi Rita,

When we get home, we’ll rate our stay more formally, but I just wanted you to know that was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. It was such a lovely home and the owner greeted us so kindly. It’s so obvious that she loves that place so much and takes such good care of it. It was a stay we will never forget and hope to go back to.

Thank you,
Mona

It’s our happy place. We love staying here. Lovely house, a different terrace to enjoy your coffee on each day , easy walk to town, close beach to play at, numerous paths down to the water for a quick jump in.
Rita, I wanted to let you know what a wonderful vacation we had. My family says it is one of the best we ever had. The weather was great, a few days it rained in the morning (but that just meant we were able to enjoy our coffees and relax on the back porch), and we even went swimming a couple of days. Everyone enjoyed the walks to and from town. Also, we were able to go up to Geraci. A wonderful trip!
Thanks for all of your help with everything and I will contact you for our next trip over, which hopefully will be soon. Ciao, Devi and Bart

We loved Faraglioni and its great location! The blue colour from the sea remains all around the villa. We stayed a lot of time on the terrace with that great sea view. Adorable the sandy beach down the house... Everything perfect for our group of 8 adults. Warm welcome by Antonio. Thanks. Edward

Great sea view from the terrace where we lived most of our time. Elegant and well equipped house, charming furnitures. The small beach below the house is wonderful. We recommend Villa Faraglioni to our friends. Katrin from Holland

Very nice stay at Villa Faraglioni! Cefalù is an interesting town by the sea. The villa is perfect. We enjoyed the small sandy beach below the house. Great the garden too. We wish to back again one day! Joris & Samantha

We loved the wonderful view and amazing patio area! The house was spacious, clean, and well equipped. Renting a car is not necessary since it's walking distance to restaurants or groceries. Our stay at Faraglioni is an experience we'll never forget!

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Cefalu Sicily. Before our villa review, I wanted to share our thoughts on Hit Sicily and Rita. The best, best, best! The responsiveness and personalized attention shown by Rita was outstanding. Your help with recommendations and finding/booking Massimo and his daughters for our authentic Sicilian dinner made our vacation. We would also like to recommend to your future guests StrEATS Palermo -- a great walking food tour of the city (approximately 4 hours) with a local guide; and, our day trip to Agrigento was fantastic -- with all of the construction, it was tough driving, but so worth it. Our local guide at the ruins was charming, informative and an all around great host. On to the Villa . . . Faraglioni was beautiful and completely met our needs. The location is perfect for going into Cefalu central and the actual grounds are stunning. Our last two nights, we were able to watch weddings at the hotel next door. Friday night there was an incredible fireworks show -- we considered it our going away present. Antonio took care of everything we ever needed and so many things we didn't even ask for or know about. He is a real asset to the owner. The house is exactly as we had hoped. I would recommend that more towels be provided and that the owner consider putting screens on the sliding doors in the two living areas. The mosquitos were terrible, but I understand that is everywhere in Sicily this time of the year, but since there were no screens, we had to keep the doors closed. This made the living spaces stuffy and warm. Thank you again Rita for all of your help. I would highly recommend Hit Sicily and Faraglioni to everyone.

Fantastic holiday! We had 2 families staying at this lovely property for 2 weeks during Easter break. The location and outdoor landscaping of the property are the best features---the pictures are pretty accurate. Really enjoyed using the terrace for sunning, eating, playing, etc. Most of the interior was just as lovely. A few suggestions for improvement: moldy areas in the ground level sitting areas; weak water pressure in bathrooms/showers; need new set of sharp knives.; internet not working properly the last several days of our trip. All fairly minor things that are fixable. If those things are addressed, this rating would go from fantastic 4 stars to outstanding 5 stars. Would definitely consider coming back.

We all really loved the location of this villa and it's amazing views. The living space and many outside areas were beautifully furnished and the private swim areas were used continuously by all of us. The welcome from Antonio was excellent and very thorough. Thank you for such a great service, I would highly recommend this villa to families of older children and adults groups who can manage stairs as there are a few.
