Villa Mazzaforno

Mazzaforno is a sea front villa with direct access to the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is an ideal place for groups and families to enjoy a comfortable and luxury vacation.

Mazzaforno comprises a villa, located on top of a cliff and with its own access to the sea shore. The typical 60s white villa was recently completely restored and the original feeling of the house has been kept alive. Wonderful tiled floors, design furniture and lamps, white linens and comfortable sesting everywhere.

Situated on the Northern coast of Sicily, the house enjoys breathtaking views over the Mediterranean Sea and the historical town of Cefalù, whose city centre, with its imposing Norman Cathedral, is only 5 km away. Cefalù was once a fishing village and it still boasts a picturesque small harbour. Palermo, the capital city of the island, is about 50 km away from the villa, while the beach and a wonderful nature reserve are literally on the doorstep.

Mazzaforno is surrounded by trees and scrub. The house amidst olive trees has the typical charm of a country retreat and is available to rent as villa together with the garden house, Le Cementine, which is as well a lovely place. The villa, on the other hand, is elegant and spacious, approximately 200 sqm, and has the most splendid views. it develops over two levels, with bedrooms on the first floor and a refined design. The building is painted white and stand out in the large garden, a haven of peace and relaxation. Leaning over the railings that run around the vast terrace, or sitting at the table or in one of the sun loungers arranged around its expanse, one can enjoy the most wonderful views, looking out over the sea and down to the Sicilian coastline. A living room that opens onto the terrace, the guests’ bathroom, the kitchen and the laundry room are located on the lower level of the villa. The walls are white, and precious Sicilian floor tiles create geometric patterns in the shades of grey. Mazzaforno is comfortable in winter too, with its underfloor heating and fireplace, and its guests could not be more conveniently located to discover the attractions and treasures of Cefalù and of the surrounding area.
