The apartment in mediaeval Cefalú
Right above the water on Cefalù's delightful sea-front, Brezza di Mare is perfectly located for a holiday at the centre of one of Sicily's most beautiful and historic towns. Recently refurbished to a high level, this is the apartment to rent in town!
Our team has visited each of our villas, so they can share the finer details and help explore flexible date options
Brezza di Mare is in the old centre of Cefalù with its Norman Cathedral commissioned by Roger II, shops, restaurants and long sandy beach. Its central position on the Tyrrhenian coast makes for easy day trips to Palermo (58km), Santo Stefano (35km), Solunto (55km). Cefalù is nestled beneath the Madonie Mountains, with peaks up to nearly 2,000m and a wealth of small villages with a history almost as long as that of Sicily.
Cefalù is on the main train line linking Palermo with Messina, and from mid-June to mid-September is connected with the Aeolian Islands by a daily hydrofoil service.

We loved, loved, loved Brezza di Mare and also fell in love with Cefalu all over again. Our first visit in over 20 years and we were right to return. So happy we chose The Thinking Traveller. I cannot say enough good things about Brezza di Mare! It is a stunning villa, beautifully furnished and the pictures on the website are very accurate. But what the pictures don't show you are how cosy and comfortable it is - the amazing beds and the huge sofa with its cushions - and how well equipped! Everything we needed was there, from coffee machines, to cheese graters, to hair dryers to pots and pans...the list goes on! Above all, the views from the balcony were heavenly. You overlook the beach and face the sunset. We must have taken a thousand pictures! You are right in the centre of Cefalu, walking distance to everything with shops nearby for whatever you want. There was also a generous welcome pack when we arrived. Thank you to all for giving us this amazing experience.

The views from Brezza di Mare were magnificent and everything was there as we needed and as described. Everyone was so helpful.

Brezza di Mare more than lived up to our expectations - the facilities, cleanliness and of course the views and location. Also the services offered by the team and the efficiency of meeting any requests we had. We're looking forward to revisiting.

Brezza di Mare has the most wonderful views of the sea, and is perfectly situated right in the heart of old Cefalù. Elegant, characterful furnishings; incredible sea views; easy access into the Medieval town; beautiful walks along the beach in the early morning; extraordinary cathedral. Would we return? Yes. This was our second visit to Brezza di Mare, and we want to go back again next year.
