Alimena Vacation Rentals

"There isn't one aspect that stood out more than another. Everything was exceptional. We felt like family. It's hard to explain how wonderful the hospitality, home cooked meals, beautiful rooms and amazing views made us feel."

"Everything about the hotel was fabulous"

"Amazing house in the hills behind Cefalu. Great hiking in the mountains nearby and 35 mins down to the beach. Rosanna is an incredibly helpful and kind host. Thank you for your great hospitality during our stay."

"We had such a great stay! Everything was m clean, and the sheets were cozy and smelled really fresh, which was great for me. The room was warmly decorated—it felt really welcoming and homey. Breakfast was tasty, and the TV setup was awesome. My partner especially loved all the features and amenities it had. What I loved is the whole place was in a peaceful, quiet area, and the neighborhood was scenic and felt really safe. What really stood out was how friendly and helpful everyone was. The staff were incredibly responsive and genuinely kind—it’s rare to feel that kind of hospitality, and we really appreciated it. Overall, it was such a refreshing experience. We’d definitely come back!"

"The noise of construction next door made us leave a day earlier despite the excellence of the hotel."

"The grounds are amazing. The food was good, with some really great options for breakfast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, nothing fancy."

"We would rate this hotel almost excellent, our room was very comfortable and serviced twice a day. The grounds and pool are beautiful, effort towards sustainability is evident. Service was sometimes slow and our drinks orders were incorrect a couple of times but no big deal. We booked a couple of ‘experiences’ the wine tasting was cancelled an hour before start time. The romantic meal was a bit disappointing in our opinion, the space and views were gorgeous but the location meant the food arrived cold, and long gaps between courses. The aperitif in the field was excellent, the views are stunning, could have done with something other than bread and nuts to eat, maybe add cheese and meats?! Overall we loved the resort, staff were friendly and ideal for a couple wanting to spend a few days in a secluded location. "

"This was a pleasant surprise on our trip. This home has an incredible view and deck. The hosts were helpful and welcoming and put on a phenomenal breakfast. Lovely stay. "

"We had a wonderful family holiday at the property from 23 July to 3 August. The secluded location up a track was hard to find at first at night, but it's seclusion is a highlight of staying here.Our host Carmello warmly welcomed us with a house tour and left clear instructions for WiFi and local tips.The property was much larger than expected, with a spacious kitchen, huge dining table (unused as we ate outside), and a cozy living room with three sofas. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including a mezzanine-style third bedroom accessed by a steep ladder, suited our 15yo daughter perfectly. Our 18yo son took the double room, and we stayed in the largest. The house was filled with thoughtful decor—books, art, and vintage furniture—making it very cozy.Outside, multiple seating areas, a large BBQ, and a huge gazebo in the gardens with sofas offered great spots to relax. The expansive grounds had gardens, statues, and tables.The large pool with a decent deep end was very impressive, though more sunshades are needed as the single one wasn’t enough. We spent so much time here. Rural Sicily’s power limits caused occasional outages, resolved by conserving electricity.Sat Nav led us astray on dirt tracks; stick to the main road. A Conad supermarket 8 mins away was great, but ignore map errors pointing to a nonexistent one.We loved Barkollo ma non mollo in town for its amazing, cheap pizzas and views.Highly recommend this off-the-beaten-track gem in Sicily!Thanks.
