The staff was most accommodating to our every request be it for a bedside light, multiple requests for directions, or double cappuccinos in the morning. It was a quiet respite in a busy touristy area. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Very friendly and dedicated staff. Great “à la carte » breakfast delivered to the room. Great location, easily walkable to the city of Cefalù. A bit isolated but quiet and peaceful. Great set up with view on the port. Would feature without hesitation.

This quiet B & B, overlooking the Cefalu port, is a comfortable place to stay. Parking and driving in the historic centre are challenging, so we preferred the 20-minute walk into town and the beach.

A bit further away fro the town than we thought (20 min walk) and ‘beach’ down some steep steps and a way away but a few decent restaurants 10 min walk away. Property was a bit basic but having breakfast served on our own little terrace, with good views across the marina was really nice. Nice and quiet compared to centre of town as well. Staff really nice and friendly. A nice little B&B.

View can't be beat. Room faces harbor. Location is off the beaten path, but close enough to walk to town. Service is outstanding. Room is spacious, however bathroom smells slightly moldy, but given dampness of area, is almost expected.

Awesome B&B
We were greeted by a very friendly host who offered to make us breakfast to have in our room the next morning due to our early departure. This was very well received by us. She also recommended a great restaurant and booked us a table too. We felt very welcome and will definitely return. The room had a wonderful view of the cove and it could been seen from the bed. We will be going back as soon as we are in the area. Only a few minutes walk from Cefalu historic centre and idyllic position. The room was well appointed and very clean. Awesome B&B.

Modern out of town stay.
Nice little holiday apartment style complex. A short flat 20 minute walk for centre of Cefalu. There are 3 restaurants about 5 minutes away on the walk into the town. Al Faro is by far the best and most popular. Room modern and stylish and breakfast buffet ok.

This is an excellent B&B and Roberta and Giovanni who run it are brilliant. They are friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. They do not own the B&B, but have worked there since day one when it opened 5 years ago. Between them they do practically everything. A Tonnara is spotlessly clean, has comfortable beds, a powerful shower, good continental breakfast, a good location and stunning views. Every room has it’s own private outdoor seating and dining area. The only slight negative is the railway line that runs close to the property, but we didn’t find this was a problem. It’s an easy 15 min walk to the old town where there are loads of good bars/restaurants/shops. There are also a couple of restaurants about half way, if you don’t want to walk that far. The view of the sunset from here is stunning - take your camera! You can walk to the long sandy beach in about 20 mins (some sections are private where you can hire sunbeds & parasols, but there are public sections too where you can just sit on your beach towel). The sea is wonderfully clean and clear around Cefalù and we swam most days. I highly recommend A Tonnara and will certainly book again if we holiday in this area in future.

Dear Hugh& Anne, thanks so much for your beautiful feedback. This is one of the most fantastic feedback we ever received in 5 years opening. We are happy that you had a good stay in Cefalù by us and we will happy to host you in future if you want to come here again. Giovanni and Roberta particularly say you thank you for your lovely words. Thanks again from all A Tonnara team!

Romantic spot
Tonnara is a lovely B&B; our room was very comfortable with a little kitchenette, excellent shower and amazing view. Giovanni, Roberta and Rumira were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. We didn't mind the walk to Cefalu, it felt very safe and needed to burn calories after excellent meals. All the rooms allowed privacy yet it was also lovely to catch up with other guests at breakfast. We would love to return to Tonnara especially if they put loungers on all balconies, this was the only thing we felt lacked. It definitely is the kind of place to relax, read a book and watch the view with a glass of wine on comfy loungers :))

A Tonnara and the staff are amazing and very friendly. I really enjoyed the views from this place. The location wasn’t right by the city center but it was a close enough walk of about 20mins. There is free street parking and free breakfast. The only thing that was annoying was the WiFi that wasn’t working for a couple days. Not a huge deal but we needed to help plan and look ahead for the rest of our trip.

Cefalu B&B
Nice basic place with great views and service. Based on the property's photos, we thought it was on the beach, but it's not. It does overlook a marina for boats used by local fisherman, and has a view to a rocky beach. Detected some sewage smell but it didn't detract from our overall satisfaction with the property. It's about 30 minutes from the city center and sandy beach.

Hilly terrain in Cefalu
We had an excellent stay in Cefaulu with its beautiful seascape. The staff were attentive and made excellent suggestions for what to do. The room was perfect and the air conditioning essential as temperatures soared. Breakfasts were well done. All in all, a great place to stay.

Lovely stay - make sure you book the suite
My wife and I spent a week here and have nothing but happy memories. I strongly recommend the suite, as it affords the most privacy, most sun as well as shade in the afternoon and importantly it has the most outdoor furniture. Most people spent only a few days here on there tour around sicily whilst we just wanted to chill out mainly. Cefalu and the surrounding area is very nice and keeps you busy for a few days. It is a true b&b in that there is no pool and only has 5 rooms with a simple but sufficient breakfast and very limited grounds beyond the rooms. I would only recommend staying longer than 3 nights if u can get the suite. We were able to balance 3 days of pure relaxing outdoors by the room with 4 days of sightseeing. Last word must go to the staff. Roberta and her colleagues were so friendly and helpful. I normally like a good moan but have nothing but good things to say about our stay at A tonnara.

Great location, just a short walk to town
We loved Tonnara. The staff were delightfully helpful with all aspects of our stay. The room was lovely, Well equipped and very clean. The view from the deck outside our unit was lovely and tranquil, overlooking the marina and shore. It was great to be out of the town, but close enough to be able to walk to it easily. Alround it was a lovely Spot to relax and enjoy the great weather. Thanks to all the team for a lovely stay!

Great hotel but not by the beach or in Cefalu town
Room and breakfast were great and staff lovely. We had thought that we'd be able to access a beach from the property but were told that the beach down the cliff was dirty as it was by the marina. The beach took around 20 minutes round a busy road to get to in the town of Cefalu. The hotel is not in the town. There are a system of one ways too which mean it's less hassle to walk. We were happy to walk to the beach and the town - no problem, but did think that there were lots of families/couples who would NOT feel the same way.

A Tonnara is a Cefalu' Gem
We had a wonderful time staying at A Tonnara. The B&B was private, clean, and very modern. It has all the goods as a big hotel. It is on the Mediterranean Sea but there is no access. However, there are beach access points a short drive away. Giovanni was wonderful and so very helpful. You will not be disappointed.
View from your private terrace.
Oh did I die and go to heaven or am I swimming in the Mediterranean?
