Inside: the property is accessed from a large sun-drenched terrace at the top of a flight of steps. The entrance leads into the homely kitchen, with its traditional Sicilian decorated ceramic tiles and on to the open living room, whose corner picture window offers great sea views and lots of light. Comfy red leather sofas and a large, flat-screen TV make this a very pleasant room. Above the living area is an open mezzanine level that serves as a little gym or a quiet reading area. To the right of the kitchen as you enter the house is the downstairs single bedroom and bathroom with shower. Going upstairs, one comes to the two main bedrooms, a double and a twin (this latter may also be made up as a double), and a bathroom with shower. The master double, complete with large flat-screen TV, has access to a wonderful terrace with delightful sea views. The two bathrooms are easily accessible from all three bedrooms, so the upstairs master bedroom can easily have use of its own bathroom if desired.
Outside: outside the villa's entrance is a spacious terrace area from which two separate flights of sets of steps lead to another two terraces. The first is a spectacularly situated viewing point complete with barbecue and dining area. The second is an absolutely private lawned terrace with wonderful views of the sea and the coast running eastwards. All outside areas are equipped with good quality outdoor furniture. Two paths, one behind and one in front of the villa take you down to two delightful coves. The second descent to the sea is exclusive to guests staying at Il Gabbiano.

Think About
Cefalù, with its numerous restaurants and bars is a pleasureable 20-30 minute walk away.
The gardens, grounds and sea accesses of Il Gabbiano have quite a lot of steps, making the property unsuitable for those with walking restrictions. There are also a few precipitous drops around the grounds which, although well fenced, mean that we do not recommend Il Gabbiano for younger children.
