Hidden away in the wooded hills above Cefalu, Casa Romito boasts sweeping views out to sea, extensive, secluded grounds, character-filled interiors, and a sense of pastoral peace. The stylistic panache of the owner is evident in the subtle mixing of country-style and modern comforts, while the property's position, hovering between beaches and unspoilt mountain peaks, offers the best of both worlds. A tempting pool sits unobtrusively in its rural context, adding another dimension to this rural idyll.

The Area

Nestled on the flanks of the Madonie Mountains Casa Romito is a perfect way to mix mountains and sea. It’s an ideal base for exploring, on foot or by car, the mountainous nature reserve and the many towns and villages that it contains.

Just twenty-five minutes drive down the hill is Cefalu, with its spectacularly sited Norman cathedral, medieval town centre and beach.

The motorway gives you easy access to Palermo, Monreale and the Roman remains at

Solunto. Slightly further afield, the Ancient Greek remains at Segesta, Selinunte and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento are well worth the journey.

An illustration of a guest book

Casa Romito is a lovely villa filled with gorgeous things. Very comfortable. What stood out was the beautiful décor and the lovely view down to Cefalù and the sea beyond.

Henrietta Guest September 2024

Casa Romito was very cosy and comforting - we did not miss anything. The view from the terrace in front of the kitchen is amazing. The best was staying at home, cooking and having a good time. The villa owner prepared everything for a warm welcome. She recommended restaurants for good local food that we could not find elsewhere.

JT August 2024

We all loved Casa Romito. The villa was delightful with its history and location overlooking mountains towards the nearest town Cefalu. A great deal of thought had been put into retaining its 16th-century charm and the location and peaceful country setting allowed us to swim, barbecue and sit relaxing amongst the cork trees, cacti and extensive gardens.

CW June 2024

Casa Romito was perfect. Heaven. Idyllic. I might even go back next year. The owner was super friendly and lovely.

Mr Nick Rogers, United Kingdom September 2022

Casa Romito was as peaceful as we had asked and the owners are absolutely delicious. The house, the landscape: all is perfect in Casa Romito.
