Insulae Resort

We had high hopes for our stay and the pool is beautiful and the bartender makes a great Negroni. The biggest problem was our bathroom sliding door was super broken, so we had to take a full minute to open it every time we closed it which really wasn’t how we wanted to spend our honeymoon. When we told them about the problem they said they’re just working on getting it fixed. Breakfast was reasonably good and the property was clean. The outdoor gym also looked great but most of the machinery like the treadmill was not in safe working order. We also were disappointed by the lack of food available. They shut down all food for hours in the afternoon and they only do the pizzeria or the tasting restaurant every other night. Nothing is walking distance. Given how isolated the property is from town I would recommend choosing another property in Cefalu with walking distance. They do have a shuttle driver and he is was friendliest staff member we encountered but it was very limited hours. Uber is not available there and it’s a 20 minute wait and 15 euros each way for a taxi. We stayed at 5 hotels in Sicily and this one was definitely our lowest experience unfortunately.

I definitely recommend. We had a wonderful stay. Staff was friendly and spoke sufficient English. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, as were the views. Rooms were small and just ok- typical for Europe- but the bed was comfortable and everything was clean and modern with a very nice terrace. It is a very short drive to Cefalu but they have a shuttle until early evening.

An amazing private resort on a small scale: new, clean, and thought through in every little detail. The premises are aesthetic, good-smelling and feel exclusive. The garden feels like a cosy hideout. Great cocktail bar, both during the day and in the evening, with Salvo and Emanuele not missing a chance to surprise you and make you smile. The fine dining experience at the on-site restaurant “Zayn” is worth a mention, too. A complimentary electric shuttle and EV charging are available, too.

Wonderful newly built boutique hotel. Every friendly staff. High quality cuisin

Absolutely gorgeous boutique property, perfect for R&R, lounging by the pool and indulging in the inventive tasting menu (a high point during our trip!). Fantastic pool and bar area with fast and friendly service. Charming Cefalu is a shuttle ride away and we appreciated not having to drive ourselves into the town. The staff were very kind and attentive. The only downside was the size of our room - extremely small, if I were to return, I would seek out a large room if that is an option. The private terrace helps make up for it.

The staff were always friendly, yet always professional. Beautiful hotel and environment. The food in the restaurant was incredibly good, with excellent service. Somewhere to eat in the evening with a more relaxed atmosphere would have been nice. Walking into Cefalu isn't such an issue. Parts of the road arent paved, parts are. Just be careful and you can cut down a side street to take you onto the beach road. Takes about 40minutes walking Would I go back. Definitely !!
