The old town centre is dominated by the cathedral. According to tradition the cathedral and the adjoining abbey and cloister, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city beach.

Very peaceful property:beatiful sea view.


A very nice country house well equipped and confortable. The villa has 5 bed rooms. In 3 out of 5 bathroom is ensuite. We had most of our meals on the terrace. Great barbecue. In the larger one you can cook for 20 people: enormous. We involved us also as pizza maker in the external large oven set outdoor. The result was pretty good thanks to the help o Gianni (the manager of thr villa always avaible on our request to give us assistance). Cefalu is not far: 6 km. It is a bit overrcrowded but it\'s worthwhile going to the beach or walking in this pituresque small village in the eveing. Our children enjoyed very much the pool. The villa has several shaded area where you can repair from the sicilian sun. Sometimes . Thanks to God ac worked very well. I hope to come back again.

A very relaxing holiday


Five of us stayed at Villa Giovanni for a week. The views from the terrace and the pool were the things we most appreciated. The living & dining areas are open and spacious. We ate most dinners in and found the kitchen to be just what we needed. Villa Gioavnni is located perfectly for day trips to Madonie Park and Palermo. We shopped for our dinner supplies in Cefal, finding delightful produce, meat & fish markets. Gianni, the owner, was very helpful in giving us suggestions for site seeing. We are definitely recommending Villa Giovanni to friends for their travels next year! Hello Gianni!! Many greetings from Tom.
