Scirocco Bed & Breakfast

Cefalù


Convenient location and spectacular views are the two big selling points at this B&B halfway between the train station and the cathedral. Romanian owner Nicole offers four comfortable and bright upper-floor guest rooms, crowned by a rooftop terrace that's perfect for watching the sun set over the Tyrrhenian Sea or monitoring cafe life on Piazza Garibaldi directly below.
