Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mazzaforno

We had a great stay at the Corneola Apartment in Villa Vittoria. It was very clean, with an excellent view, and very convenient. Joanna and Giuseppe were attentive and responsive hosts. Joanna, thanks for all the suggestions—we went to most of the places you recommended 😊. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Very nice accommodation, faithful to reality. Idyllic location with sea view. The pool is well maintained (an employee visits every Saturday, it's quick). A secondary space is also rented above but the two are distinct. The interior that remains quite comfortable is starting to age a little. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Wow! From the moment we arrived Francesco and Cynthia made us feel welcome, at home and we left feeling like part of their family. The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful, private section with everything we needed - including a lovely outdoor shower, table and chairs. The private pool was perfect for a dip after our day trip to Palermo. It’s just a few minutes walk to the beautiful Mondello beach, and lots of bars and restaurants. They responded to every request immediately - even driving to the supermarket to buy us bottles of water! Cynthia even wrote a plan for us when visiting Palermo - which we used and worked perfectly. We’ll remember this holiday forever because we got engaged on the trip. But also because we met such wonderful people and stayed in such a beautiful home - thank you Francesco and Cynthia! As promised, we will definitely be back one day ❤️

The house is beautifully located on a small hill. The garden is landscaped with an incredible amount of love. We enjoyed every second there!! Margherita, her partner and her father are absolutely warm hosts and welcomed us very kindly. The house is equipped with everything you need. A special highlight is the heated whirlpool with a view of the valley We will be happy to come back!!❤️

Dario was a great host, helping us into the property and helping out with queries about the local area throughout our stay. The apartment is in a perfect location with easy access to many great restaurants and shops

We stayed at Lampeduso for 3 nights and it definitely wasn’t long enough. It’s such a great Airbnb in a perfect location. Palermo is such an interesting city, with its mix of cultures and all its gritty charm. The palace was perfect. It rained for two of the days we were there, but because the villa was so fantastic, the weather didn’t affect us at all. The place is huge, with great amenities that made a big difference—washer and dryer for our soaked clothes, umbrellas ready to go, and plenty of space to enjoy a good card game. When the sun did come out, we spent early evenings on the patio next to the pool. Honestly, the villa alone makes us want to return to Palermo.

The whole apartment is amazing but the roof top in particular was out of this world! To have the outside space in the middle of the city is a real treat and Stefania’s place is an oasis of calm. It is just off the main thoroughfare so brilliantly located yet very peaceful. We were two couples and there was masses of space to be together and have some privacy when wanted. The kitchen has everything and more and I think belongs to a very good cook! Stefania arranged a taxi from the airport which made arrival smooth - especially as a flight change meant we arrived late and finding the apartment without Andrea’s help would have been much more difficult. We received lots of information in advance and were given tips and suggestions for places to visit and eat in Palermo. Everyone we encountered to do with the apartment was charming and could not have been more help including the friendly neighbour and delightful housekeeper. Thank you so much Stefania. Wish the dogs were included!!

Stunning location. On the front side, the (small) mount Bonifato and the sea; on the back, hilly Sicily as far as the eye can see. Very peaceful, one can enjoy some days of calm here. Hosts are very welcoming and cleanliness was much appreciated. One point to consider for car entusiasts: in case of a lowered/sport car, the last 200m of acces road could be a challenge.

We loved our stay at Francesca’s apartment. It was just as beautiful as the photos show! We could walk everywhere we needed, and took advantage of the recommendations she leaves for guests on the nightstand. She was very understanding and flexible with us, with very clear instructions for everything. We’d love to stay again if (when) we come back to Palermo :)

a very beautiful and clean apartment, very close to restaurants and shops! would definitely recommend staying here!

Great location, apartment and the building were very atmospheric and characterful. we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. to top it all, Chiara was very helpful and worked very hard to resolve a minor issue that arose

Beautiful stay - perfect for a couple of days for relaxation. Close proximity to both Cefalu and Palermo

Exceptional apartment, walking distance to all the sights and food. Very comfortable place with everything you would need. And yes the balcony view was fantastic, especially early morning and sunset. Antonio was a great host, reliable and communicated promptly. Palermo is a vibrant city and we loved it! Love to come back and stay again!

Vincenzo and his son Antonio are great hosts. We felt very comfortable in the apartment from the first day. The kitchen has everything you need. The whole apartment is very well and modernly furnished. The terrace is oriented to the north side. This means that in the preseason it may still be a little cool for sitting there for a long time. But there is a beautiful rear area, which invites you to warm up due to the south-facing orientation. In summer, you are certainly grateful that the terrace is only in the sun in the early morning hours. You can walk to Cefalu without any problems [1.6 km] and thus save yourself the parking stress. Insider tip: You can [still] park for free down at the harbor. We highly recommend the apartment.

Our family stay at Massimiliano’s terraced apartment was a real pleasure. The neighbourhood is vibrant, busy, colourful and within walking distance of everything we were looking to visit-contemporary art galleries, museums, churches, the Palatine Chapel, Palermo Cathedral, the food market, good restaurants etc. The apartment terrace is a wonderful way to relax over drinks or for dinner or even to watch the pedestrian street traffic below. The nearby train/bus station meant day trips to Cefalu and Monreale were very easy to orchestrate - even last minute. And Massimiliano is a wonderful host! He collected my husband from the airport and from that day throughout our visit he was such a warm, thoughtful and welcoming host. We will return. Thank you so much Massimiliano!!

Perfect location and exactly as described. Our hosts Giovanni and Lorenzo were absolutely wonderful. The Villa is stunning, the beds were extremely comfortable and the lounging areas are just perfect. Mondello is a picturesque town full of charm with gorgeous restaurants and lovely, friendly people. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for an unforgettable holiday!

We had a wonderfully peaceful stay at Lorenzo’s. The location is tucked out of the way, with amazing views and we had the pool to ourselves for the whole of our stay. The house itself is basic but had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed leisurely morning breakfasts on our patio and reading by the pool. We absolutely fell in love with Cefalù, although didn’t attempt walking in due to the heat, so we’d recommend having a car if you want to book here. If we’re being picky, it’s a shame that you can’t use the pool area during certain times of day, and we had to take our rubbish to the waste centre when we left which seemed a little strange to us. All in all, we would definitely come back - thank you Lorenzo.

The accommodation is just PERFECT: clean, cute, clean pool and cleaned every morning with an amazing view of the sea and beautiful sunsets. Marco and Margherita's parents are very friendly. We enjoyed having a few words with them. Cefalu is a 10-minute drive I can only recommend this place! Thanks

We had a great time staying at the large spacious villa. A real nice view from the terrace on the pool and sea and garden! Very friendly and helpful host Guiseppe. I can really recommend this beautiful villa!

Beautiful, comfortable modern accomodation

Roberto’s place is wonderful. Everything was very well cared for, the pool was perfect and there were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. We would definitely come back. Thank you

We loved our stay at Marida's and Beppe's place. The little villa's are cozy, comfortable and have all you need. Also for staying with a baby of 11 months old. The garden is beautiful and the pool is the best, with an amazing view. Good to know for young parents, the (non video) baby monitor we took with us reached from our villa to the pool! The location of the stay is a good base to explore several beautiful fishing villages, beaches and of course Palermo. The only downside being that while the closest village is at an okay walking distance, the unpaved road to walk on is not suitable for the average baby stroller. To close off, hosts Marida, Beppe (and Bonbon!) are very friendly and thoughtful hosts. With a very interesting background in science and art, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely unforgettable stay! From the very first second, we felt completely at home at Terre di Bea. The property offers complete privacy and a breathtaking view of the sea - truly something special to wake up to every morning. The idyllic pool area is a highlight, perfect for relaxing while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Antonio was the perfect host - warm, helpful, and always available. Whether we needed advice on hidden beaches, restaurant reservations, or tips for local activities, he went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host’s kindness in getting us settled. The location was peaceful and private, and walking on the private beach at night was serene. We loved the gas stovetop for last‑minute meals and the shower’s light and radio. The indoor space was a bit tight, but the patio and outdoor areas made up for it. A few things caught us off guard: the pool is seasonal, chairs shown on the beach weren’t there, and some utensils were a bit dirty. We also found ants on the table, which upset my girlfriend, and the TVs were smaller than expected. The biggest concern was the road to the beach—the potholes made us nervous about driving. Overall, it’s a lovely spot. With a few clarifications and minor updates, it could be an even more fantastic getaway. Thank you for hosting us!
