Casa Splendida is a beautifully renovated Sicilian home perched on the hillside above Cefalù with sweeping vistas of the Mediterranean. Carefully restored to retain its authentic charm while offering contemporary comforts, this villa provides a relaxed and refined backdrop for a wonderful stay in northern Sicily.
Inside, the inviting living space balances elegance with casual ease, styled in neutral tones that reflect the natural surroundings and help you feel immediately at home. Prepare leisurely breakfasts in the kitchen to enjoy with a sea view, relax in the lounge with its Smart TV with Chromecast then spend evenings on the shaded terrace as you prepare feasts by the barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven.
When it comes to sleep, there are four air-conditioned bedrooms to choose from. The main part of the villa features three double bedrooms with sea or garden views, whilst two adjacent modern shower rooms are perfectly positioned close by. The fourth bedroom is in a delightful guesthouse annexe situated in the garden with its own en suite and living area with kitchenette, perfect for making a morning espresso or light snack.
Outdoors, the heated swimming pool offers refreshing dips against a panoramic backdrop whilst the terraced gardens, with oleander, rosemary, olive trees and pines, draw you to hidden lookout points. Find a quiet spot, a good glass of Sicilian wine and soak up the stunning sea vistas.
It’s around a 15-minute drive down to the charming streets and glorious beach of historic Cefalù. Wander through its medieval centre, admire the iconic Norman cathedral, savour Sicilian cuisine and hike up La Rocca for spectacular coastal views.
Beyond the coast, the nearby Madonie Regional Natural Park offers a striking contrast of rugged mountain landscapes, fragrant forests and traditional villages waiting to be explored in this captivating region of Sicily.
