Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Mazzaforno

What a magical place in beautiful Sicily this is! We had an amazing stay and spent a good amount of time at the Villa as it’s a wonderful place to be. The outside environment is superb, so tranquil and peaceful. The pool was perfect for hot days and we spent a lot of time being competitive on the table tennis table. The short walk to a stunning private beach was a huge bonus. The villa is a short drive from the beautiful town of Cefalu which is a must to visit. I would 100% recommend Salvatore’s place to anyone looking for a a peaceful stay in Sicily.

Viviana and her mum were great hosts and helped us in every way they could. The location is superb, within a few minutes walk from a very quiet beach. The surroundings are beautiful with olive and lemon trees all over the place. We had one of the most relaxing holidays ever!

Aldo was an incredible host from start to finish. Even before we arrived, he helped us decide to rent a car by providing detailed information. When we ran into problems at the airport car rental, he was there and jumped in to help us sort everything out. He regularly checked in to make sure we were okay and answered every question almost instantly, like when we needed help turning on the gas, he gave clear, easy instructions. He also gave our kids thoughtful welcome packages and shared great tips on places to visit and eat. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and had everything we needed: beach toys, umbrellas, even citronella sticks for mosquitoes. My family had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. Aldo’s communication was always prompt, helpful, and kind. We truly felt cared for every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend both the property and Aldo as a host. He went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful we stayed here!

We had a great stay at this lovely cottage. The view is absolutely incredible, and the location is just a short drive from Cefalù, making it both peaceful and convenient. The outdoor space is beautifully maintained and perfect for relaxing—definitely one of the highlights of the property. The only thing to be aware of is that the neighbor’s dogs tend to bark quite a bit during the night, which may be a consideration for light sleepers. However, it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience. I would still definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil stay near Cefalù with breathtaking views.

A warm welcome to a really clean and aesthetically beautiful accommodation. The host was always present and pleasant. Landmarks are within walking distance. Recommendations!

A beautiful Airbnb that has the perfect location. You can walk to the beach, but it is also in the middle of the beautiful old town. On the two balconies, you can have a cozy breakfast and watch the hustle and bustle on the street. The place was clean and Claudio warmly welcomed us to the place. There was even the possibility to leave your luggage in the accommodation before check-in time. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a nice time in Cefalu.

100/10 the house was so beautiful and looked just like the photos. The pool was clean and amazing with rafts and a diving board. Air conditioning inside the house, beautiful garden and lots of outside space to sit and enjoy. Emanuele was super responsive and helpful every time we needed anything. His father and mother met us at the house for check in and were super lovely!! They set up a surprise of snacks and treats and made us feel like family. They also gave us some local recommendations and had waters and coffee at the house. Everything you need is right at the house and the grocery store is 5 minute drive away.

Loved staying at this place

We had a wonderful time in Cefalu. The scenery is spectacular in the old town with the rock forming a beautiful backdrop to the historic buildings. The apartment is charming and was presented spotlessly clean. The kitchen has been stocked with all the equipment and amenities you would need. The location is excellent. Close to restaurants, bars and shops. The beach is just a few steps away. Our hosts gave us the warmest of welcomes and their recommendations for restaurants were excellent. Domenico and Doriana were very helpful, warm and friendly. We thoroughly recommend staying at their place.

Beautiful well-equipped apartment, we had a lovely stay here. Very close to town centre but very quiet. Dara is a great host with helpful tips for our stay. Highly recommended

Vincenzo and his son Antonio are great hosts. We felt very comfortable in the apartment from the first day. The kitchen has everything you need. The whole apartment is very well and modernly furnished. The terrace is oriented to the north side. This means that in the preseason it may still be a little cool for sitting there for a long time. But there is a beautiful rear area, which invites you to warm up due to the south-facing orientation. In summer, you are certainly grateful that the terrace is only in the sun in the early morning hours. You can walk to Cefalu without any problems [1.6 km] and thus save yourself the parking stress. Insider tip: You can [still] park for free down at the harbor. We highly recommend the apartment.

Both Frederica and her father was warm and welcoming. Responsive and willing to help with anything in question. The place itself felt unreal, being so close to the beach and Caletta Santa Elia. Would definitely cone back!

Fantastic stay in the heart of Cefalù! The location couldn’t be better — just 30 seconds from the beach (bed rental was €30 for the day) and surrounded by great restaurants and local charm. The apartment was exactly as described, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Be aware there’s a steep flight of stairs to reach the apartment, but the view from the balcony more than makes up for it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to soak up the best of Cefalù!

This is an amazing home in the best location - we could have stayed for a month!! Situated right on the beach this is the most beautiful spot to spend any time in Cefalu. Francesco was the best host and provides all you need to make this a memorable stay. All the photos and positive comments cannot capture how wonderful this place is. Book it now!

A beautiful spot with stunning views. We loved our stay here. Apartment is clean and has everything you need and Vincenzo was very helpful.

Amazing weeks stay at this beautiful apartment in the heart of Cefalu. A lovely welcome (including a complementary breakfast, wine and juice) with suggestions of restaurants and things to see was very appreciated. The apartment was spotless with everything you could need and a lovely little balcony. The location was perfect being only a stones throw away from the beach and the hustle and bustle of the plaza. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone planning a trip to the enchanting town of Cefalu!

A great stay in Cefalu. Very close to the town centre and to the beach. The host was very welcoming and friendly. We had a brilliant stay and would recommend!

Not only was it close to the absolute best restaurants, But this was some 5 star living, almost didn’t want to leave this place was so cool! A spa and little hang out up the top and great space to watch tv after a big day of sun. Definitely recommend Palermo staying here!! Couldn’t have done better! Beautiful place to stay! Lovely host!

We had an absolutely wonderful 5-night stay at Robert and Francesco’s beautiful apartment in Cefalù. From the moment we arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and attentive hosts, making sure everything was perfect for ourstay. The apartment itself is stunning—tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But the real highlight was the terrace—spacious, peaceful, and offering breathtaking views. We spent every morning enjoying coffee and every evening watching the sunset from there. It truly made the experience unforgettable. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, and historic center, yet tucked away enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. Robert and Francesco were always available for recommendations or assistance, and their hospitality made me feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Cefalù. Highly recommend, and we hope to return soon.

Excellent location for the town which is a lovely place to visit with a great atmosphere, restaurants and beaches. The apartment is spacious for 2-3 people and was very well equipped with some nice touches. It’s mentioned several times in previous reviews that there is no lift and the stairs are steep. Fine for us but you need to be aware if elderly/heavy bags etc. But that’s the price to pay for the location. Thanks for the stay

We have just returned from a great 6 nights at Michele and Doriana's apartment after 4 nights in Palermo. The location is brilliant, with a supermarket just 5 minutes up the hill, and a really nice bakery 5 minutes in the other direction (called Le Delizie, great for breakfast but closed on Wednesdays)! The hosts gave really good recommendations on things to see and do, especially the boat trip which we loved! The boat was also €100 cheaper than the one we used in Palermo, and it also lasted an hour longer! The apartment itself was perfect and matched the photos exactly. The terrace at the top was perfect for having a drink at night. The only downside we could find wasn't anything to do with the apartment itself, but it was the noise on 2 or 3 nights coming from the park outside. Many young people were out until 2am playing really loud music, which made it impossible to sleep in the room facing the park. We would 100% stay here again in the future. Thanks for having us!

Laura’s place was beautiful! Really enjoyed our stay…very close to everything, amazing restaurants and grocery stores. It is in the historic part of town, you can park near the beach and then bring all your suitcases up a 20 mins walk…or call a taxi which will bring you into town. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. I would recommend her place and even go back to stay longer one day.

This is a really nice Airbnb located in a heart of Cefalu. The apartment was clean and well appointed. It is located within walking distance of all the restaurants and cafés. And it’s just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommended.

We can not say enough good things about Marta’s place! First, the location with the view of the water is perfection. We had several meals enjoying the balcony seating. The space offers everything you may need and the location of Deco grocery around the corner is a bonus. This location is walkable to the train station and Silvio picked us up there upon our arrival which was so thoughtful. We used beach chairs and an umbrella that other guests had left for the beach! The washing machine came in handy to refresh our travel clothes. We could go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay and next time we visit, we will gladly stay here again! Thanks for the hospitality!
