Adults-only historic hotel overlooking Cefalù Cathedral
Rooms with frescoed ceilings
Palazzo Villelmi occupies the second floor of a 15th-century building, preserving original frescoed ceilings and historic terrazzo floors. Each air-conditioned room combines these historic elements with contemporary furnishings and includes a flat-screen TV, hairdryer, and full courtesy set. Some rooms offer private balconies with views of the Cefalù Cathedral or the sea.
Panoramic terrace overlooking the sea and cathedral
All guests have access to a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Cefalù's historic center, the sea, and the Aeolian Islands. The terrace is open throughout the day and evening, and the hotel can arrange sunset aperitifs with wine. Guests use this space for reading, relaxing, or enjoying the Sicilian sunset.
Exclusive Villelmi Mare boat service
Palazzo Villelmi offers a private boat named Villelmi Mare, available exclusively for guests to explore the coast of Cefalù. The boat allows access to hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and sightseeing from the sea. This service is arranged directly through the hotel hosts Federico and Federica.
