Where to start! Rocco was an amazing host and as well as a fantastic breakfast every morning (including peaches from his own tree - delicious) he provided useful information on pretty much every aspect of life in Cefalu. He helped with restaurants, beach bookings and even Vespa hire without it ever feeling too much - a WhatsApp was enough to make things happen. The rooms are very near the harbour in the centre of town but on the top floor so lovely and quiet. The other B&B bedroom is on the opposite side of the shared sitting room kitchen (a lovely place to relax before going out in the evening or in the heat of the day) so it is very private. I couldn't recommend Azzurro B&B any more enthusiastically.

I always try to write something here because otherwise it looks a bit fake, but there really was nothing we didn't like.

Such a comfortable, welcoming stay. Having the shared lounge and dining room made Rocco’s accommodation feel like home, we loved returning after dinner to read, relax and have our digestivi. Really the best part of this place is not the furnishings, etc, lovely as they are, it is Rocco. A man with a big, open heart, whose attention to detail goes above and beyond, from the carefully curated, huge breakfast, to recommendations of where to eat and drink (only the best!) and what to see and do, to carrying our very heavy luggage up the many, many stairs (the apartment is on the third floor, it was a good workout going up several times a day!). We totally recommend staying here as Rocco is the best host we have ever experienced.

No issues for us!

We loved our stay at the Azzurro B&B in the the beautiful city of Cefalù. The room, the breakfast, and the location were great, but more than anything, we enjoyed our host Rocco who will make anyone's stay in Cefalù memorable. Rocco will do everything he can to make your stay enjoyable, and you will immediately feel comfortable with him as if you had a best friend in Italy. Be sure to follow every recommendation that you get from Rocco, including what restaurant and what beach to go to. Everyone knows Rocco in Cefalù and you will be treated special because of it. The beach club will give you the locals rate if you mention his name.

We loved everything

Everything was great - as per the photos but what we loved best was Rocco, the host. We stayed in the mountain view room which was clean, stylish and what we expected. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean and styled so tastefully. Rocco spent time with us on arrival explaining everything and gave us wonderful recommendations of where to eat, beach clubs, bars, ordered taxis etc. Nothing was too much trouble. He has a great sense of humour and made us feel very welcome and at home. Everything i had read in reviews was true. The location is great - close to beaches, restaurants, bars, shops etc. A visit to the cathedral is a must. Unfortunately we didn’t make the walk up to the castle due to an injury. The water is so clear to swim in and as swimmers we really enjoyed an early morning swim at the beach 80metres from the apartment before the crowds. Would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing.

Staying at Azzurro was one of a kind AMAZING experience! We loved everything - centrally located apartment right in the historic center, beautifully appointed cleanest room with a tiny balcony overlooking Cefalu and its terracotta roofs and sea, common area where the most delicious breakfast was served.. and the most important, Rocco, who makes your stay in Cefalu most memorable and comfortable. He is a wonderful man with the most caring and hospitable personality who becomes your friend right away and who is delighted to share everything about Cefalu with you, from parking tips to the beach clubs and restaurants and bars and all attractions. We listened to all Rocco’s suggestions and had the best time in Cefalu. Just wish we stayed there longer.. at Azzurro we fell spoiled and pampered by our friend Rocco and already miss our wonderful host.. can’t wait to be back!

Nothing! It was truly perfect!

Exceptional host (Rocco) who makes you feel like you're visiting an old family friend. He is super helpful with tips, recommendations and happily takes care of reservations since he knows everything about Cefalu and the sourroundings (or basically all of Sicily). Forget google reviews or tripadvisor rankings; Rocco will give you the local insights! He is very friendly and likes to chat at the morning table (anything from Sicilian life, politics or his fruit garden) while providing breakfast but not intrusive and let's you go your way throughout the day. You can reach him anytime and he will be happy to assist. About the place itself: We had the room to the back which is probably more quiet than the front, bright and cosy. Big enough (especially for a historic center in an old town) and lovely renovated. Breakfast was at a set time (9:00) in the common space (shared with the other double room) with a lot of options (boiled egg, ham, cheese, salami, bred, fruit, yoghurt, coffee,...). Location is extremely central and the town is small, so anything is reachable by foot.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Azzurro! Rocco was incredibly charming and went above and beyond to help us, from recommending fantastic local spots to making restaurant reservations. His hospitality made our experience feel personal and memorable. The breakfast was simply perfect — fresh, delicious, and a great way to start the day. And the location couldn’t have been better — right in the heart of Cefalù, just steps from everything yet wonderfully peaceful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Sicilian warmth in a beautiful setting!

The location is fantastic, bed was super comfortable, super clean and modern. Rocco the host is amazing ordering taxi’s, delivering our bags up the many stairs, bringing breakfast and making tea/coffee, and cleaning up as well!!..He gave us comprehensive advice on where to eat and was very knowledgeable about anything we needed to know. Fabulous asset to your holiday!

Everything was fabulous.. but if you don’t like to climb 56 stairs.. its probably not the place for you.

The apartment is situated at the seaside edge of the bustling old town. It is surrounded by restaurants and wine bars - thank goodness for wooden shutters which are very efficient for keeping out the late night noise. Our host Rocco is the most kind and charming person you could possibly meet. He is very attentive and willing to help with any arrangements. Rocco provides a superb breakfast of fresh local produce. There is a beautifully designed and spacious lounge area which is shared with other guests. The balcony is very narrow, suitable for plant pots but not for sitting.

The kitchen, although shown in the photos, is not a facility which can be used by guests, except for the fridge.

We were very well looked after by Rocco, he was very helpful and friendly. We loved all of his recommendations which ranged from restaurants and bars, to beaches and tours. He also helped us avoid all the tourist traps. He is very well connected in town so was always able to get us the best sunbeds/tables in each place when he made reservations for us, which he kindly offered to do. The property is right in the middle of the beautiful old town and near everything we wanted to see and do. It's also extremely clean and well equipped. Rocco provides a gorgeous breakfast every morning, we especially loved the fresh peaches from his garden. We highly recommend staying here as it made our trip that much more memorable. Neal & Michelle
