Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Piana Calzata

We had an amazing time in the apartment! The place is even better in real life than in the pictures. The atmosphere, combined with the morning sunlight and evening sunsets, made it truly special. The view and the terrace are absolutely exceptional—you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the sea and the city of Palermo, especially magical at night. One of the highlights was being able to swim just steps from the apartment. Just a short walk down and you’re in the sea—such a luxury! A huge thank you to our wonderful hosts for their warm hospitality. They were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Knowing we were traveling with a little one, they thoughtfully prepared a cozy, sweet little bed with adorable bedding! The kitchen was very well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We also received a list of recommended bakeries, restaurants, and places to visit, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. Thank you again for everything!

Viviana and her mum were great hosts and helped us in every way they could. The location is superb, within a few minutes walk from a very quiet beach. The surroundings are beautiful with olive and lemon trees all over the place. We had one of the most relaxing holidays ever!

Beautiful stay, it was a very unique and pristine place that Anastasia hosted! We were very well accommodated with all the essentials and food, and she was very generous in all the amenities she included. The place had a sentimental feel, we thought the chalkboard wall was adorable, and it was very cosy for a couple. The location of the property was also great, it was located close to tourist area of Cefalu and notably the beach. Thank you so much Anastasia x :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Vicenzo and Rosa’s house. It was a peaceful oasis with everything that you could need to feel at home. Vincenzo and Rosa were very helpful and flexible about check in and check out times and helped us with information about local walks and where to eat out. The kitchen was really well equipped for us to cook and the house is very homely. It felt like a truly Sicilian home and a great base to explore the beautiful village of Castelbuono.

It takes an hour to walk to Cefalu town on a beautiful mountain, but on the bright side, it's a great opportunity to walk. The scenery is very beautiful and worth going to. Everything is ready to stay. There are shooting stars at night. It looks especially beautiful when there are no street lights. Everything is good. It's just that if you can't get a taxi when you come home late, you will need to prepare some physical strength to walk! The Host and management are very good. Thank you for taking care of us. ❤️

Jennifer and Kim were proactive before our arrival, giving us clear directions on where we could meet, then guiding us to parking and helping us with our luggage to the apartment (this is a hillside ancient town, lots of narrow alleys and a multitude of stairs). They kept in contact though-out our visit, even picking up recyclables and trash when needed. The apartment had most essentials in stock that we were free to use. The spacious downstairs bedroom with its own bath & a desk gave us parents privacy from the adult children,, and both bedrooms had balconies with hillside views. The terrace on the roof had a large sitting area and a separate table with a cloth sunscreen overhead, which proved to be a wonderful place to hang out in both morning and evening. Jennifer arranged for a chef and his mate to provide a home cooked meal with wine, served on the rooftop, a highlight of our stay. If you want to stay out of the way near Palermo, this is definitely a place to stay.

Claudios place was right in the heart of Cefalu. Had everything we needed. Close to the beach and great restaurants. Claudio was super helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!!

I’m almost at a loss of where to begin with how much my family and I enjoyed Diego’s incredible accommodation and hospitality! As a beach fanatic, this was the perfect location to enjoy a private and gorgeous location on the Mediterranean. No picture can do justice to the jaw-dropping water and the hours I happily spent wandering the coastline. Others have mentioned the generous spread of local treats Diego and his family provided - I can not overstate how helpful and welcome this was throughout our stay. Because of this, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals most nights; not because we were intending to be frugal (we are vacationing after all!), but because the items he provided were just that copious and delicious. The property grounds are lush and pristine, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and the craftsmanship of the home is gorgeous. Most importantly perhaps, Diego and his family made US feel like family. Responsive, warm & a true taste of hospitality.

Loved the bright, airy, comfortable and well designed duplex flat with uber slow elevator to top floor! The street is very ‘rough’ pavement-wise and at a cross section with an abandoned building - off putting at first but Bianca’s place is truly a refuge from the grittier albeit fascinating side of Palermo. Everything you’d want to visit is within reach by foot. I am a solo traveler , 70 yrs old who would definitely stay here again.

Paola’s place was wonderful. We felt safe and secure within the building and the surrounding area. Centrally located to everything in the center of Palermo. The rooftop was simply amazing. We used it in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. The apartment is filled with natural light and views. The bed was very comfortable, the linens were of good quality and there was plenty of storage space. Piazza Belini had a lot to offer. 3 churches, the church bakery and music most nights. I highly recommend it. The best rooftop terrace in Palermo. Thank you Paola.

Beautiful well-equipped apartment, we had a lovely stay here. Very close to town centre but very quiet. Dara is a great host with helpful tips for our stay. Highly recommended

Michele and Rosi are absolute model hosts. Words can’t describe how much effort they put into their guests. The constant care and availability truly made our holiday that much more special. They give you access to everything at your fingertips whether that be directions to the beach, restaurant recommendations and so much more. If you plan on coming to Mondello for a holiday I would definitely recommend staying with them for a perfect holiday. They picked us up from the airport gave us a tour of modello and drove us back to the airport when it was time to leave. Overall like previously stated me and my partner couldn’t recommend it enough. Michele and Rosi truly made our time special and we can’t thank them enough we are very grateful and will continue to stay in close contact.

Loved our stay in Palermo and felt right at home! Such a welcoming start to our trip with homemade treats and a bottle of wine. The elevator made it easy to bring up luggage too. Paola was such a friendly and responsive host. Def. recommend to stay here. 10/10!!

Our stay here was absolutely incredible! The apartment itself was one of the most beautiful, updated, and spotless places we’ve ever stayed in. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, and the space was both comfortable and stylish. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—right in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore the city on foot. From the moment we arrived, Angelo was so kind and welcoming—he took the time to get us fully situated and made sure we had everything we needed. He also gave us some amazing local recommendations which helped us make the most of our time in Palermo. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!

Ok, so many people mention the flights of stairs. so, ignoring that. the property is very quiet given it is in the heart of old town Palermo. Air con is effective, the property is smart/chic, the location is amazingly central with short walks to major sightseeing areas. We sat on terraced an soaked in the sun, the sounds and watched the Swifts soaring. Antonio was flexible and helpful. you should also take note of he's house recommendations for all local amenities... excellent. Grazie Antonio.

Riccardo is an absolute gentleman and a great host. From all the clear communications before the trip to organising free transfers from the train and great food recommendations. Also very flexible with checkout which was very helpful with a small baby. The furniture provided for our son were perfect. The apartment was modern and very clean. Location was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The apartment has lots of character, with old fashioned furniture but in a good way. The small terrace is lovely with lots of plants surrounding you, a good place to have breakfast or read a book. Very comfortable bed and effective AC in the bedroom. Plenty of space. A great location in the old town with easy walking access to loads of good restaurants and bars, but also close to the more modern marina and its restaurants. It seems very secure with the lock system of the building generally. Lots of interesting books on Sicily spread around the place. Francesca was extremely helpful.

Not only was it close to the absolute best restaurants, But this was some 5 star living, almost didn’t want to leave this place was so cool! A spa and little hang out up the top and great space to watch tv after a big day of sun. Definitely recommend Palermo staying here!! Couldn’t have done better! Beautiful place to stay! Lovely host!

Giuliana and Roberta are super-friendly hosts who made everything easy for us. The apartment is beautifully presented with a tasteful mix of vintage and modern furniture, very comfortable and with everything we needed. We felt at home straight away. Some great cafes and restaurants just a few minutes walk away, this felt like a very safe neighbourhood. We'd definitely stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful 5-night stay at Robert and Francesco’s beautiful apartment in Cefalù. From the moment we arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and attentive hosts, making sure everything was perfect for ourstay. The apartment itself is stunning—tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But the real highlight was the terrace—spacious, peaceful, and offering breathtaking views. We spent every morning enjoying coffee and every evening watching the sunset from there. It truly made the experience unforgettable. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, and historic center, yet tucked away enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. Robert and Francesco were always available for recommendations or assistance, and their hospitality made me feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Cefalù. Highly recommend, and we hope to return soon.

We’ve loved staying here. The house was beautifully furnished in traditional style with everything we needed for our stay. There were even beach umbrellas we could use. The location was fab, right in the middle of everything - and only 10 mins walk to the beach or station. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching everyone wander up and down the lovely street. Yet at bedtime it was really peaceful.

We loved Fabio’s place. It was a great location within walking distance of most of the sights of Palermo. The accommodations were very clean and extremely comfortable! Highly recommend!

This apartment is a real gem in Cefalù! Top location, great amenities and a terrace with breathtaking views of the entire bay. The hardships of rolling on foot in the old town with the suitcases and climbing the steps were worth it ... at the latest when you reach the terrace. Maria Rosa was very nice in communication from the beginning, helped us book the parking space and even called Vincenzo to help :), as we had two elderly people in the group. We highly recommend "Lo Sguardo di Artemide" and will definitely come back. Thank you very much, dear Maria Rosa and Vincenco.

A last minute find for us and met all our needs. Francesco and Mariano were responsive and a wealth of knowledge from restaurants, parking and other recommendations. Perfect spot in Cefalù.
