A villa with a spectacularly panoramic infinity pool overlooking Cefalù.

La Rocca is a comfortable, simply styled house offering an excellent mix of sea, mountains, peace and quiet and the bar and restaurant life of one of Sicily's most charming seaside towns... and then there’s the infinity pool, one of the most perfectly positioned of all.

“Absolutely a lot of bang for the buck. The location of the property was very good, far enough from the bustle of Cefalu, close enough for easy visits... The air is fresh, less humid and there's a lovely breeze to cool you during the hottest of the days. Still warm enough to sit late outside and enjoy superb food and wine with your friends.” Pekka Lagerblom, Finland, July 2012

About the Property


Inside: La Rocca is a modern Mediterranean villa with a practical layout, clean lines and simple but elegant furnishing. The open-plan ground floor features a large living and dining area, a well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower. There is an open fireplace and direct access to the furnished terrace and pool area at the front of the house. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, a twin bedroom, a single bedroom and a second bathroom. The two doubles have small balconies and all three have great sea views. The single looks out onto the unspoiled country woodland to the side of the house.

A lovely new dependence to the side of the main house comprises a double bedroom with garden access, a single bedroom and a shared bathroom.

Outside: arrival at the house is via a winding road up the mountain from the town of Cefalu'. At the end of a short private drive, there is a parking space conveniently to the side of the house. At the front, between the house and the pool, is a furnished terrace area for outdoor dining and relaxation with easy access to the kitchen and the barbeque. The centre piece of the grounds is undoubtedly the dramatically positioned infinity pool with its unique views of Cefalu' the Rocca and the sea. From inside the pool, one really has the sensation of hanging directly above the azure sea. The outdoor areas also feature a children's play area including swings, a slide and a sandpit. Stretching up behind the house are several hectares of terraced land, featuring centuries old olive and chestnut trees.

Think About

This is a perfect house for a family, though we must draw attention to the infinity pool which has a drop at the far end (though with a safety net below). The pool area can be closed off on request with temporary fencing.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

Nestled on the flanks of the Madonie Mountains La Rocca is a perfect way to mix mountains and sea. It’s an ideal base for exploring, on foot or by car, the mountainous nature reserve and the many towns and villages that it contains.

Just fifteen minutes drive down the hill is Cefalu', with its spectacularly sited Norman cathedral, medieval town centre and sandy beach. Cefalù also offers a good and varied selection of restaurants and bars. There is also an 18 hole golf course within 20-25 minutes drive.

The motorway gives you easy access to Palermo, Monreale and the Roman remains at Solunto. Slightly further afield, the Ancient Greek remains at Segesta, Selinunte and The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento are well worth the journey.

La Rocca - Villa in Cefalu'


Johan Conradie, South Africa, 4 October 2012
"We simply loved it! The house feels 'real' and we had plenty of wonderful home cooked meals there... We loved the serenity and 'homeliness' of the villa, the views of Cefalu and dealing with Thinksicily. We are a bunch of close friends that meet up once in the year from all over the world. We spend a lot of time just 'being' in the villa itself. I have booked through various companies around the world in the past, and this is the first time ever I decided to 'report back' afterwards."

Chris Lenaghan, United Kingdom, 8 September 2012
"We took up your couples offer during September and couldn't be happier with what you were able to find for us within our budget. "

Pekka Lagerblom, Finland, 3 July 2012
"Absolutely a lot of bang for the buck. The location of the property was very good, far enough from the bustle of Cefalu, close enough for easy visits... The climate on the mountains is considerably pleasurable compared to the coast. The air is fresh, less humid and there's a lovely breeze to cool you during the hottest of the days. Still warm enough to sit late outside and enjoy superb food and wine with your friends. "
