Run by two brothers, this B&B – one of Cefalù's oldest – offers seven rooms and apartments, five sea-facing and two town-facing, in a Liberty-style waterfront building. Self-serve check-in and minimal indoor common space means that it's not always the coziest spot, but the centralissimo location and the delightfully sunny shared terrace with deck chairs overlooking the Tyrrhenian can't be beat.
