The view really is unbeatable. The staff all very helpful and communicative. The pool area (though too cold to swim) was lovely.

Noisy neighbours audible late at night, so walls presumably a bit thin, noisy shared corridors and thin doors. No handle on exterior of patio door (would be good to be able to access room from terrace as well as back corridor, though not the end of the world). Just one lamp in bedroom. No breakfast offering - that we knew when we booked, but only some rooms appear to have access to a communal full kitchen.

Skyview is run by a beautiful couple, Tatjana and her husband Vincenzo and her dad. It is family owned and they make you feel just like family. We were a family of 12, which included My son, who has a tree nut allergy and has severe autism. They went above and beyond to help him and me feel comfortable and accommodate us in any way possible. My son has a limited menu and Tatjana went out to buy him pancakes for breakfast, which is his favorite. I also came down with a cold and Tatjana's father brought my husband to the pharmacy to get me cold medications. I celebrated my birthday at the hotel and Tatjana ordered me a birthday cake. They call you by your first names and make you feel just like you are part of their own family. Nothing is off limits to help your stay be perfect. The breakfast is delicious, the pool side is amazing and the views of Cefalu from the top of the mountain is breathtaking. I would highly recommend this hotel and I would definitely return.

Everything was amazing.

Everyone was exceptional helpful, attentive and friendly and made our stay the highlight of our trip. The grounds are well maintained and designed with great attention to detail. The breakfast with a view of Cefalù is wonderful and delicious. You don't want to leave the resort, it's so beautiful and you feel so comfortable there. We really enjoyed our stay and could really switch off and unwind. We will definitely visit again!

A car is definitely an advantage, even if the drive up can be adventurous and sometimes nerve-wracking. But it is absolutely doable and well worth it. There is a great taxi service that takes you up and down.

The location was fantastic and breakfast and pool area are excellent. The view is superb and the hosts Tatiana and her husband and Father were so friendly and helpful. The most improessive thing was the view which is simply stunning. Overall we have a fantastic few day at this location and woud definatly come back.

Not much. Its a difficult drive to get to it but the view makes it woryth the effort. Overall they were really helpful and rooms were cleaned daily etc.

The location of Skyview is exceptional, with astounding views on Cefalu and the bay. From what I read in other comments, some guests thought the steep drive up to the property was tough. My take is that it's really not a problem at all : the road is wide enough for cars to pass each other, and there are mirrors on every sharp bend. But hey, I'm not American ! :) Staff was extremely accommodating and quick to respond. The terraces and pool area are superb.

The only downsides we found were that breakfast wasn't included (but Skyview is more like holiday apartments / rooms than a hotel or pension - and breakfast options are available). Also, the overal setup at Skyview is a little impersonal: we felt the effort put into branding took away from the warmth and otherwise amazing vibe you get from such beautiful surroundings. But that's really a question of personal taste.

It was so nice to wake up to a beautiful panoramic view and have breakfast by the pool. The staff were very friendly and gave us a wonderful breakfast every day. The room was very clean and modern.

Not easily accessible by car. The road to the hotel is steep and zigzagged but then you’re in Sicily. You have to get used to it! lol. There was no safe for valuables and a tiny fridge so you couldn’t store any of your own water or food.

Great boutique hotel with amazing views over Cefalu. The pool was beautiful. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked.

Not really criticism against the hotel itself, but the road leading to it is very narrow and very steep. Not for the faint of heart or insecure driver. If you're used to an automatic car and are renting a manual, this is not the place to get acquainted with the concept.

The view of Cefalù was stunning. Host Tatjana was very friendly, helpful and speaks English. The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen had facilities for warming dishes and making coffee and tea, Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt also at hand. We had a separate terrace, which was great for breakfast and dinner. They provided a laundry rack. Parking was a couple of meters from our door. It's definitely a place to stay for a few days.

You have to take into account that Skyview sits on a hill overlooking the city, so navigating up and down the narrow road might be challenging for some. Lots of mosquitoes, and no screens.

Great room with incredible sky high view, bonus to have use of shared kitchen also. Big balcony, also with couch and view and place to dry clothes. Lovely pool area and breakfast also served there. Nothing was too much trouble for Tatiana who was the best host we have encountered. She even helped book us in to restaurants and helped us with transport tips. Would highly recommend Skyview.

Nothing could have been better. The drive up to Skyview was a bit tricky when you are new to driving on the right but it was all part of the experience. Without the drive we wouldn’t have had that amazing prospect across Cefalu to the Mediterranean!

How to say in few words that can describe it best: wonderful, lovely, a piece of heaven. Location is amaizing on top of Cefalu with views like in the pictures. Very nice pool, delicious breakfast with a view and nice reast areas. Rent a car or call taxi Rosaria (owner will give you details) to have easy acces up. Joe and Tatiana, guys, you are the best hosts i have ever encountered! Keep up the good job, your attitude, and succes is yours for the long term!

Unfortunatelly there is also a minus, and in this case...the fact that we stayed only 4 nights 🙂 At the end i even said to Joe, we are ready for check-in 😀
