Villa Luna

A Villa Making Sicily’s Cefalù Even More Cinematic

In poetic contrast with its wild hillside surroundings sits a modern villa in Cefalù, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Whitewashed, luxurious, and designed for comfortable summer living, Villa Luna sets the scene for the ultimate vacation on Sicily’s coast.  

Contemporary style is evident throughout the light-filled spaces, complimented by the wood beam ceilings and exposed stone. Step outside the tall glass doors and onto the expansive terrace with a cozy, sunken sitting area and dining terrace, or gaze out onto the infinity pool, where teal meets sapphire. It’s a dreamy place for gathering together for drinks and meals. 

Within minutes, you can be exploring the grocery shops, eateries, and wine bar in the charming village of Sant Ambrogio. Just beyond that is the nearest local beach, or travel into Cefalù, known for its golden sands and romantic main square dominated by a 1204-built Romanesque cathedral.

With three bedrooms and bathrooms in the main villa and a double bedroom with a bathroom in an annex, this villa in Cefalù can sleep up to eight guests comfortably. Please note that children under 8 years old are not permitted, due to the architecture of the villa.

AROUND

The popular resort town of Cefalù sits along Sicily’s northern coast a little more than an hour east of Palermo. A UNESCO designated town and historic fishing harbor, the pretty medieval streets are dominated by a 12th century Norman cathedral and an ancient hilltop fortress. Charming and authentic, it’s known for its excellent restaurants that serve local seafood and wines and its many interesting shops. 

The beautiful town of Santo Stefano di Camastra, famous for its ceramics and tiles, is within a short drive and the rugged Madonie mountains are just over an hour drive inland with great hiking and forest trails and several medieval villages to explore. Two of the island’s best north shore beaches, Mazzaforno and Settefrati are within a ten minute walk. For day trips, you can venture even further to the seven Aeolian islands, the volcanic chain just off shore. Sicily holds many natural and cultural charms, from Noto to Catania, the sister cities of Ragusa, Modica Scicli and beyond, the island is meant to be explored and savored.
