La Casa Del Geko in Cefalu, Sicily

The four rooms at La Casa Del Geko are named after natural elements of the territory, such as PETRA. Each room opens onto a balcony with sea or mountain views and premium bedding. The rooms are decorated with unique handmade pottery by Sicilian artist Giovanni De Simone.

The guesthouse sits behind a seventeenth-century church in a quiet pocket of Cefalù's historical center. Cefalù Cathedral is 500 meters away, and the beach is a 400-meter walk. La Rocca di Cefalù hill, with the Temple of Diana ruins, is a short stroll from the property.

The concierge service handles luggage storage and offers express check-in and check-out. The host Stephen speaks English and French and provides airport shuttle and shuttle service. Free public parking is available nearby, and the host assists with parking the car in a convenient spot.

On-site activities include diving, horse riding, hiking, snorkelling, and a tennis court. The tour desk books local culture classes and walking tours. Breakfast is served at a nearby cafe with four menu choices, included in the stay.
