Villa Mazzaforno


A magnificent restoration has returned Sixties design flair to this white-washed villa with its wraparound terrace, bringing with it modern comforts


Villa Mazzoforno is an incredible seafront villa perched above a private beach just outside Cefalù, a delightful little harbour town on Sicily’s north coast, just under an hour from Palermo.

The main house sleeps eight in four double bedrooms. An immaculately restored Sixties design villa, it has a wraparound terrace on both the ground and first floors with interiors that sing with geometric patterns, mid-century furniture, Sicilian tiles and a fabulous combination of space and light. It is movie-set perfect, both inside and out, with views of and direct access to the Tyrrhenian Sea.

A house for all seasons, the warmer months will find guests drawn outside to the vast terrace with its ringside seat on the sea. The underfloor heating and fireplace offer cosiness and warmth in the cooler months while the view remains captivating all year round.

The property is just ten minutes by car from the wonderful town of Cefalù with its Norman cathedral and pretty harbour, and Palermo is less than an hour away. It's a showstopper of a villa with film-worthy looks and real-world comfort – the perfect place for those seeking an authentic Sicilian stay. 

Rooms description


Bedrooms

There are four double bedrooms upstairs, all of which have doors out to the wraparound covered terrace, and views of the sea. Geometric patterns, a Sixties-inspired colour palette of sea greens, blues and taupe, billowing linen curtains and fabulous Sicilian tiles add colour and texture to the spacious rooms, as do the big, comfy beds and linen sheets.

Bathrooms

There are five bathrooms in total, four upstairs attached to the bedrooms, and a guest one downstairs. All with showers, one has a bath, as well. Sixties coastal cool is picked up in the geometric designs that include portholes and the same colour scheme as the bedrooms, with modern fixtures and fittings. There is a shower outside.

Kitchen

The villa has a neat kitchen with a long rectangular pivot window that will distract you with its view. Superbly equipped, it opens onto the dining area although, with such impressive sea views, for most of the year guests will probably choose to dine outside on the terrace.

Living rooms

The house’s large living room has doors to the terrace on two sides and the same mesmerising sea views. Large hexagonal floor tiles match the Sixties-inspired furniture which offers plenty of places to sit and relax. If you prefer lounging to the soundtrack of waves lapping against the shore, there are plenty of chair and sun-lounger choices outside.

Other rooms

There is a laundry room on the ground floor.

Outside

Villa Mazzoforno sits directly above the sea and has private access to the beach below via steps carved into the rock. The large terrace offers a ringside seat for the spectacular sun rises and sun sets and all sea-related activity in-between, and has all the right chairs, loungers and sofas from which to admire the view, as well as a dining table, an outside shower and a 6m2 Jacuzzi. There is private parking and olive trees surround the property while the wraparound upstairs terrace can be accessed from every bedroom.

Notes

The stairs in the villa are open-sided and not ideal for small children. This property can be rented together with Le Cementine to create a property for 12 and can be found here under Mazzoforno Grande. Please note that the caretaker lives in a separate property on site and is available to help answer any questions from guests whose privacy is guaranteed.

Your villa and Covid-19


To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

  • To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
  • To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
  • To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
  • For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
  • For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
