Magnificently located on the hilltops of northern Sicily, overlooking the town of Cefalu and the surrounding mountains, Casa Bella Vista is a modern, five-bedroom, multi-level villa perfect for family or friends looking to enjoy the fine weather, enchanting coastline and delicious cuisine.
On the ground floor, the spacious kitchen/dining room has a large oven and stove and a double sink, plus includes a dining table for eight, one of two dining options in the villa. A sofa at one end is surrounded by windows on all sides, allowing you to enjoy the view from every angle, without even stepping outside! A set of patio doors brings you to the large terrace outside, with a layered garden extending both up and down the exterior stairs.
Two of the elegant bedrooms are located on the same floor as the kitchen and lower terrace, while three more bedrooms are up a set of interior stairs, on the same floor as the spacious roof terrace. All five bedrooms are tastefully decorated in the same soothing tones as the main villa, with huge windows inviting in the sunshine. There are three full bathrooms, each with a spacious, walk-in shower, a WC, bidet, sink and two with a heated towel rail; there is also a guest WC on the ground floor.
The garden consists of a compact pool, outdoor dining area and vast patio, distributed across a series of terraces. Soft lighting ensures that the luxurious pool is elegant and inviting by day and night, with simply exquisite views over the town.
A set of chairs overlooking the pool provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee, while the large, partly shaded roof-terrace is ideal for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, with several chairs around the central coffee table and the same sublime views of the bay.
A row of sun loungers gives you the opportunity to kick back and relax in the sun, while the large dining table alongside provides a luxurious spot for an alfresco meal, overlooking the scenic landscape below. A traditional BBQ and small sink complete the outdoor facilities.
Within just four kilometres you can find yourself on the beach (very busy in August!), at a charming local restaurant terrace or exploring the historic centre of Cefalu. With private parking available directly outside the villa, you can hop straight in the car and reach many areas of interest in just a few minutes.
What you should know…
- As the phrase goes 'it's a long way down' - and while the views are worth relishing, this villa is not for the faint-hearted
- The pool and certain sun-bathing areas are not completely fenced
- Car hire is essential, as public transport links in the local area are limited - the final leg of villa access road is on paved but steep and narrow (2.5m) track, so we suggest hiring a compact or medium sized vehicle
- When the minimum occupancy is booked, certain rooms may not be accessible (this is subject to the owner's discretion) - it is best to check with us before booking if you have any queries about about this
