4/10 Fair

Pros: across from beach with reserved sunbeds, walking distance to city center, good breakfast. Cons: rundown rooms: shower rusty, ants in room, broken blow dryer, poorly maintained air conditioner. Amenities not as depicted: no hot tub and no nearby pool as shown. Poor experience: I had 2 rooms rundown as described above. AC was not functioning in one room and flooded in the other room. Staff did address issues. Also there is a cafe/bar that has very loud music playing until 1:00 am which made sleep difficult. NOT FOUR STAR establishment in my opinion.

I can’t believe the reviews on this converted communal home that transformed itself into a Hotel. I have been traveling to Italy for 20 years and this is the first time the reviews let me down. This is NOT a hotel please don’t be fooled by the label.

Well located hotel, near the beach where you have free access to chairs and parasols. Swimming pool by the sea a five-minute walk away. Bord walk to get to the very beautiful old town. Very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Basic room, very narrow bed and mattress too firm. Smashed patio chairs! suggestion: Offer a free bottle of water

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, in an overgrown lot next to the hotel. Breakfast was good and caffè great. The rooms are a bit dated and worn down. Meets 3 star expectations though. Not a luxury property but a 15-minute walk from the downtown area and very accessible to the beach. Recommend.

The Hotel is by the beach. They provide umbrellas and the beach is great. You have a gourgeous view of the town and swim and sit on a sandy beach

Eh
Tiny room, even tinier shower, though the bathroom was fair-sized. Poor to non-existent wifi. Included beach service several blocks away, not just across the street as advertised but it was too hot & windy to use it anyway.

Fine
Positives were: Good location, nicestaff and clean rooms. Negatives: Bad pillows, hotel pool closed as was the hotels private beach. We had to argue for complimentary lido usage during our stay. Breakfast was limited but that was mainly due to COVID restrictions and this perfectly normal.

Italian charm
Spend a week in Hotel Villa Gaia, lovely hotel across from the beach, short walk to town. Breakfast was great, WiFi and air conditioning in the room all fine. Rooms very clean. Beach towels available to hire from reception. Reception staff were wonderful. Cefalu is a fabulous place for a relaxing beach holiday.

4/10 Fair

The standard was excellent except that the room I was given had a shower that did not function ie the water was tepid (this was at 8 a.m), at best....most guests would have deemed it 'cold'...and it was, but am trying to be generous! Also my shower hose was full of leaking holes so it was impossible to use shower properly...I gave up in the end and washed at the bathroom sink. I did report this the following morning but it is impossible to believe that this has not been reported before, it was so bad. Such a shame, as otherwise it was a nice room rather noisy at night possibly from the fridge, I was crawling around at gone midnight trying to work out where the loud humming was coming from...couldn't find a fridge plug or would have turned it off. In the end, I settled for using my ear plugs and diving under the bed clothes. The lack of a decent shower would make it a 'no return' place from my perspective.....this shower was so deficient that it must have been mentioned many times before yet they have done nothing about it.
