Brezza di Mare was exactly as pictured and described! Beautiful views, extremely clean and a perfect location between restaurants and beaches. The Thinking Traveller made our trip so seamless and easy. This was especially important to me traveling with a toddler overseas for the first time. The ability to actually speak with a human about the plan and get expert recommendations was so great. I would 100% book through The Thinking Traveller again for our next trip.

About the property
Inside
Brezza di Mare is situated on the top floor of a seafront house in the historic centre of Cefalù. A flight of steps lead to the front door, which opens into a welcoming hallway. On the right is a double-twin bedroom and a bathroom with tub. To the left a door takes one into the lovely kitchen-diner, boasting views out to sea and large French windows leading out onto a seafront terrace.At the end of the hallway is a second entrance to the kitchen and the comfortably furnished living area, which also accesses the seafront terrace. Another door takes one from the living area into the main double bedroom with its sea views (a great way to wake up!) and en-suite sea-view shower room. The loving restoration, the owner's excellent taste and the fabulous location all make Brezza di Mare a special proposition indeed.
Outside
Brezza di Mare's little panoramic terrace hangs above the sea and Cefalù's shoreline. Furnished for dining and relaxing, it's the perfect spot for al fresco meals, sunset aperitifs or just lying back and listening to the waves below - the only sound you will hear!On the street outside the apartment there is a series of small food shops, an excellent wine shop and, within 1 minute's walk, Cefalù's long sandy beach. Restaurants, bars and cafés are all around and you are ideally placed for making the most of the town's many attractions.

About the Area
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.

The property is accessed from a pedestrianised street and there is no private parking. Public parking (at an extra cost) is available nearby.

The views and the location of Brezza di Mare were amazing. It was beautiful and comfortable and convenient - in an amazing location right in the heart of Cefalu. We loved the ease of waking up and going for breakfast. You are an easy walk to everywhere and Cefalu was an amazing city. Amazing local support that was extremely responsive to anything we needed.

The location of Brezza di Mare is great and could not be beat. It's comfortable and quiet and the views were incredible. We had a fantastic and wonderful experience.
Domenick Bianco, visited August 2025
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.
