Reviews for Villa Magarà
Review 1：Difficult to get into the shower (small space) because the bidet and toilet were squeezed on either side.
Review 2：On a hill with a gorgeous view. The pool we be great in Summer. Just 10 euros to get into Cefalu by taxi.
Review 3：If traveling by car, this location just outside the city center, with a magnificent sea-view, is a great alternative since driving/parking in the old city is difficult at best while this location achieves the holy grail of free, secure on-site parking. That said, expect a small room, a fairly cramped bathroom and a kitchen that is really a pass-through on the way to the bathroom. In early November, it is a quiet , relaxed location; I suspect it may be a little louder in the summer. All in all, however, an economical change of pace for budget travelers tired of searching for parking.
Review 4：not all equipment : is not wine opener , only cutlery ( is not normal knife )
Review 5：Daniela was so welcoming . The view from the Villa fabulous ( dark return home from the city on foot ). But it's better with car .
Review 6：It was very difficult to find.
Review 7：Daniela was very helpful and friendly helping us find the villa and had some useful advice on local places to eat. Well-appointed, clean if rather small apartment with fantastic sea views set in beautiful grounds.
Review 8：that we could stayed only for 2 days :(
Review 9：Owner is super nice and helpful, we were given fresh eggs everyday and also figs from her garden. location is excellent, out of the city, on the hill. It's very quiet, so you can relax, spend time at the swimming pool, sunbath or walk around the property that is like huge tranquil garden, with lots of animals (goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys and others. Fantastic place for holiday with kids especially.
Review 10：The moment of departure.
Review 11：Very quiet place with imbatible view of the coast. If you have car, Cefalú and free beaches are just 4 minutes away. Daniela, the owner is a wonderful person. We would return there with no doubt.
Review 12：Only down side was the frying pans, little dangerous as they were bowing on the bottoms, but honestly not a criticism as it was managable for a week :)
Review 13：The villa was amazing and very rustic. Very clean and Daniela was so welcoming. We loved all the animals and the views were spectacular!
Review 14：Villa Magara and Daniela were absolutely perfect for us. When we arrived in the middle of the night we were really hungry, so Daniela took a map and showed us the best places in scopello. We were really happy and more than satisfied that we could stay here and we highly reccommend it to everybody who loves a cozy home, nature, animales (dogs, sheeps, chicken,.. ) and a lovely guest-madre ❤️ PLUS: Although there is no breakfast included we get some fresh eggs and many tipps from Daniela for cooking!
Review 15：We just adore the place. Daniela is an amazing host and we will remember her forever. Location was the best close enough from Cefalu but far enough to be private. The view from the Villa fabulous. I will stay there for sure if and when I am back in Sicilia.
Review 16：Terrible little shower with maximum 4 minutes hot water. Too many keys (6 keys in total)
Review 17：Special surprise for our honeymoon. Excellent host. Spacious room with small but adequate kitchen.
Review 18：I found it very, very expensive. We arrived at 18h30 the evening of our stay and we were gone by early morning. We paid CDN $325! Check in was a little confusing as we did not know what building to go to. Slow too.
Review 19：The lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. She provided us with a map of Cefalu and gave us suggestions for restaurants. Villa was very charming.
Review 20：Lack of working surface in the kitchen made it a bit tricky to use it, but there are many great restaurants in Cefalu, so it was not a big problem. The walk to town and back can be a challenge, especially after dark.
Review 21：The view is truly spectacular. The host is very friendly and helpfull. Shame we did not have the time to use the pool...
Review 22：Stunning view, swimming pool and a huge territory around the house makes a good combination for a peaceful stay outside of the touristic city center of Cefalu (even though it is just 20 minutes walk from the house or couple of minutes by car). Daniela is helpful and flexible regarding hours. I would suggest this place for a couple or group of friends and at least for couple of days, in order to really enjoy the facilities of the place (swimming pool, your own little patio, barbecue place). You definitely need your own car or motorbike, walking is easy and fast, but the roads are not adapted for pedestrians.
Review 23：it's a pity that they don't prepare breakfast
Review 24：Staff was very friendly and helpful. Gabriella and her little helper were great in welcoming us. The swimming pool area is perfect to relax in the afternoon. The b&b is just outside the centre of Cefalù so the area is very quiet but in the meantime is very close to the centre (about 4mins by car). As the b&b is located on a hill, the view from there is amazing.
Review 25：There was an A/C unit in the kitchen area but it did not reach the bedrooms so additional fans would have been good. The walls were very thin so you could hear guests in the adjoining rooms very well, not pleasant to be woken up by a screaming baby in the mornings.
Review 26：The views were fantastic. The host was very friendly. The children really enjoyed the little pool. The apartment had a washing machine which was great. The big terrace was useful, just a shame it faced the goats and not the sea.
Review 27：Wonderful location with amazing view. Daniella, the host, is simply the friendliest and the most helpful lady ever. Very good Internet connection. Very comfortable bed.
Review 28：Terrible directions to reach property, gate and intercom didn't work which resulted in having to jump a fence and trek through brush; air conditioner leaked heavily to the point of standing water; heavy bugs in and around area resulting in large bites; when attempting to contact property, no answer... very frustrating; no WiFi or breakfast even though indicated in description
Review 29：The hostess was very kind and the pool area was pleasant.
Review 30：We spent a nice days at villa Magara. It's a lovely place with beautiful nature, helpfriend people. We was traveling all Sicilia and have stayed in a lot of apartments, but Villa Magara was the best place. The beach is 5 minutes by foot. We weel return. Thank you for for the solve the problem with our car. The best regards, Valery and Elena.
Review 31：We had some problems to get there, the google maps shows it wrong. The access is directly from Strada Provincionale.
Review 32：free, fresh eggs for the breakfast, location - beautifl view over the ocean, large site, nice staff.
Review 33：We were unable to connect to wi-fi, but they do have a system.
Review 34：We enjoyed our quiet stay. The hostess was very nice and ensured we had all that we needed.
Review 35：Enjoyed it all.. GPS does not take you all the way up the road.
Review 36：Loved that the owner greeted us with figs and a smile. Great little apartment, not too far from town, we drove once, walked one time. Loved the solitude with the sound of sheep!
Review 37：Very friendly hostess. Quiet secluded place. Perfect if you like countryside and have a car, you will need just 5 minute to drive to Cefalu center and beach.
Review 38：Good place if you are travelling with car. As this is a more like farm house, have to take into account that there will be some insects next to you, but they dont disturb you. :)
Review 39：Very nice and beautiful place near to Cefalu with outstanding view. The staying at this place reminds warm and peacefull stay at grandparents holiday or farm home. Owner is a fantactic perspn - very helpfull and great hospitability.
Review 40：we stayed in a clean and new apartment. outside of it there was a garden with a wonderful seaview. it is 5 minutes drive to the harbour and the rocky coast. the owner is very pleasant and helpful. I will go back there again.
Review 41：The only thing we didn't like was that the balcony was comon with the neighbors. They were too close. But thanks for the big garden, and the tables, chairs, and sunbeds we can be separated.
Review 42：We loved it! Well located, with a beautiful view to the sea. It is out of Cefalú, but worth it. Not far from the city center, on the hillside, really calm enviroment. The room was small, but enough for us, and well equipped. Signora Daniela was really nice, helpful, and lively.
Review 43：Is set away from the town, so that without a car its a long walk. When you arrive it seems as nobody is around, but just make a phonf call
Review 44：Really friendly staff, always helpful. The lady lives near the appartment. You have a great panorama over the sea and la Rocca and the area around the house is nice.
Review 45：The lack of intimity: every body is closed to you. The shower is very very very small: do not be fat!!!!
Review 46：Very nice niew. Daniela is very lovely with her guests: she gave us a wine botte and some fruits and if you need something, she will help you... You are very closed to Cefalu ( but you need a car) but it is very quiet...
Review 47：Mrs Daniela was an excellent host,very kind and helpful.The apartment was clean,spacious,full equipment at the kitchen,A/C,had a great view and a wonderful garden.Perfect location if you have a car.
Review 48：There are lots of bugs if you leave your doors open.
Review 49：The studio was spacious and the location was excellent for being a couple minutes by car to Cefalu, but far away enough from the noise of the city and less appealing areas (lungomare). You will need a car. The villa is comfortable and very charming, in a rustic way. I appreciated the netting on the windows to keep bugs out. Daniella is hilarious and tried to be as accommodating as she could with her limited English. We took advantage of the grill outside to grill some fresh-caught fish. Dinner on the terrace overlooking the sea was fantastic. Daniella recommended a fantastic restaurant nearby (Solito Poste). It looks like a convenience store, but serves up some of the best pasta we had in the area.
Review 50：Really difficult to find with the gps, better to call the owner for directions. A few flying insects that seem to parasite palm trees (according to the owner) are seen in the house in the evening, harmless but disgusting.
Review 51：Quite nice apartment, well equiped (even a washing machine) and clean. A terrace with sea view to enjoy your meals. Quiet.
