House vacation rentals in Mazzaforno

Wow! Where to begin with this place. It was such a wonderful stay in a beautifully quaint location, close enough to essential amenities but far enough from hustle and bustle for a truly relaxing holiday away. Stefano was beyond the most helpful airbnb host we’ve experienced! Met us in town to take us to the place, offered fruit, veg and herbs from his home-grown garden and even helped us take our cases back to our car which we decided to park a little further away due to the very steep narrow hill to get to the location. Nothing that bothered us at all though, it was amazing and worth every penny!

The welcome at the place was very warm, Umberto was very helpful and straightforward. He recommended restaurants, bars, and bakeries that were really worth it. The place was fine, but unfortunately not clean enough for our taste. The equipment leaves something to be desired (quality of dishes, pans, mattress, pillow, iron (full of sand), etc.). As a blanket, we only had a thin sheet, which is not enough in April. The decor is beautiful and cozy, and the outdoor area also invites you to linger. The outdoor area is not really clearly separated, which leads to basically sharing everything with all guests. It may be a small minus point if you don't like it. Had a nice time despite everything.

Beautiful property, lovely hosts. Everything was perfect.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. It’s the perfect getaway from the busy city life’s we lead. The villa is beautiful and there is the added bonus that Massimo (the owner) has a pizza restaurant in the town which we went to twice and were well looked after. Would certainly recommend staying

Contacted Gloria in advance about our arrival time and instructions on how to get to the cottage. We were warmly welcomed and given explanations about the cottage. During our stay we were able to easily contact Gloria with questions, which we still had. The cottage was complete with supplies (even beach towels were ready for us). We enjoyed the garden, swimming pool and the view! In the evening it can get very hot, but fortunately there is air conditioning in the bedroom.

Roberto is a great host, he is very caring and supported us super with all questions. We always felt very comfortable. The house is in a fantastic location, on every level with great views of the sea. The highlight is the private access to the sea. The pool offers everything you need for a great vacation. Parking is available on the property. We had a VW bus, a motorcycle and a small rental car with us. (and mountain bikes) The proximity to the airport was very convenient for us because we were there with the whole family and our children arrived at different times. A private car is necessary to be mobile. For us, it was perfect because we needed about 50 minutes to the climbing paradise San Vito del Capo and could also go to Palermo. The distance to the most beautiful places in West Sicily can be reached in <1 hour. The residential area is very quiet and well maintained and we always felt safe. Thanks to Roberto

Our host contacted us immediately after our reservation was confirmed and made it easy for us to get home. When we got home, he welcomed us and explained in detail every part of the house and all the possibilities in the house. Paolo immediately returned to our message when we needed help, even making us very happy to bring us what we needed. The house was exactly as described and had a great atmosphere where you could sleep and wake up with the sound of the waves. It was very peaceful in terms of location. It was great to go to the sea in front of the house and watch the view from the balcony. Thank you very much to our host Paolo:)

We had a great time staying at the large spacious villa. A real nice view from the terrace on the pool and sea and garden! Very friendly and helpful host Guiseppe. I can really recommend this beautiful villa!

We had an amazing time in the apartment! The place is even better in real life than in the pictures. The atmosphere, combined with the morning sunlight and evening sunsets, made it truly special. The view and the terrace are absolutely exceptional—you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the sea and the city of Palermo, especially magical at night. One of the highlights was being able to swim just steps from the apartment. Just a short walk down and you’re in the sea—such a luxury! A huge thank you to our wonderful hosts for their warm hospitality. They were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Knowing we were traveling with a little one, they thoughtfully prepared a cozy, sweet little bed with adorable bedding! The kitchen was very well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We also received a list of recommended bakeries, restaurants, and places to visit, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. Thank you again for everything!

Very good hosting by Vincenzo, very responsive, helpful. Well-located accommodation, close to the castle, on a quiet little street, as described. Parking is available not too far away for free.

A beautiful villa with amazing views. The villa was spotless and decorated nicely. Everything you needed was available, great kitchen. The village of Sant’Ambrogio was 15 minutes walk away which had a few nice restaurants and bars. The beach was 15 minutes walk and beautiful. Cefalu was a 10 minute drive. Great stay!

Wonderful town - great apartment - welcoming host!! I would recommend staying here!

Very well located apartment, steps from the harbour beach in the old town with great views from the balcony. Baby cot provided was good quality and the lounge room was used as an extra bedroom. Some noise from the street adjoining the master bedroom, although not unexpected given the location and age of the building. We would recommend this apartment for those looking for a stay in the old town with a good view.

This is a real wow of a house. After a pretty full on country lane drive, you’re met with a proper farmhouse with stunning views. You feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere but it’s only a 15 min drive to central Cefalu. We loved having bbq dinners outside and spending time in the tranquility of the house. The welcome goodies were really thoughtful and communication was friendly and helpful. They even supplied a non slip mat for my baby’s bath, really above and beyond.

Lovely homely stay and water on arrival. Bed was comfortable and the tv had all the apps. Daniela was very responsive and helpful with recommendations of where to eat around the accommodation.

This was a lovely clean and fresh apartment. Everything necessary was provided. The external terrace was very comfortable and provided views of the beautiful garden that surrounded the apartment with predominantly lemon trees but also a number of other fruit trees and cacti. Plenty of nice restaurants on the coast and easy access to Palermo and Cefalu.

We had such a great stay at Elisas! The apartment is well equipped and the surroundings with all the animals are lovely. We especially liked the cats. We even cooked with Elisa, which was also a great experience. For sure we‘ll be making the Tiramisu at home 🤩

Fantastic. Thanks to this great accommodation, the dream of our trip to Sicily was perfect. A car is necessary to explore the great highlights in the immediate vicinity. Federica gave us good tips. A small cafe/bar with a gigantic view is very close. Also a small grocery store for the “basic needs” . We would come back immediately if there wasn't so much more to explore in this world!

Jennifer and Kim were proactive before our arrival, giving us clear directions on where we could meet, then guiding us to parking and helping us with our luggage to the apartment (this is a hillside ancient town, lots of narrow alleys and a multitude of stairs). They kept in contact though-out our visit, even picking up recyclables and trash when needed. The apartment had most essentials in stock that we were free to use. The spacious downstairs bedroom with its own bath & a desk gave us parents privacy from the adult children,, and both bedrooms had balconies with hillside views. The terrace on the roof had a large sitting area and a separate table with a cloth sunscreen overhead, which proved to be a wonderful place to hang out in both morning and evening. Jennifer arranged for a chef and his mate to provide a home cooked meal with wine, served on the rooftop, a highlight of our stay. If you want to stay out of the way near Palermo, this is definitely a place to stay.

Silvia Maria and her husband Giovanni are extremely friendly, helpful and made our trip to the madonie mountains a great experience. The villas garden is beautiful and mostly shared, but the host gave us privacy and was attentive and generous to our needs, offering fruit upon arrival and some olive oil when we forgot to buy it. They gave us lots of tips and places to visit, and the trip was a great success. Thanks Silvia, it has been a great stop on our tour of Sicily.

Stayed 2 nights in Cefalu and so pleased I got this apartment. Absolutely spotlessly clean which makes a big difference. The apartment is a good size, comfortable bed and all the facilities to make food/drinks. Nice window to open and look down on a vibrant street but quiet after 11. Met Marianna and wish I could speak Italian more as she was delightful and helped me out enormously as I left my charger there and she hung on until I got back…what a lovely lady. Very recommended…and she has 2 other apartments in the same block which are just as good.

Great for a couple of days right in the middle of Cefalu, so close to the beautiful beach. We had a hire car and parked at the port for free - Salvatore gave us excellent directions. Then he gave us the what's app for the electric shuttle buggy to transport us almost the whole way to the apartment - but still a short walk with suitcases and kids. Does get a bit sandy after a while. Great for our pre-schoolers as the beach is shallow for ages - a beach umbrella is provided but bring beach toys. Salvatore was fab and when I messaged about an iron, it was brought to me promptly.

Host is very nice, responds quickly when contacted, the place is nice cosy and clean.

Francesco's house/flat was well presented, freshly renovated and clean. Although we stayed a couple of nights as a final stop before bidding arrivederci to the island, you could easily stay longer as the property has everything you need. There is a spacious terrace at the front of the house and a cute garden with a free standing grill and bonus citrus trees in case you want freshly squeezed lemon on your barbecue. Location wise - the property is on the main road, with easy access to the link roads and 1.25 hrs drive from Palermo airport. Cefalu beach is 20 min walk, clean and not too busy (could be because we visited off peak season). The old town and duomo 30 min away boasting of great restaurants and typical quaint alleyways. Francesco was a considerate helpful host with great communication before and throughout our stay. P.S. for British fam - there is no kettle, so you'll have to boil the water on the stove :D
