Vicari Vacation Rentals

"Good location, not too busy, clean, very friendly owners and staff. Sea is 3 minute walk away. A local archaeological museum is only 30 minute walk away on top of the mountain(great views). It was more peaceful/relaxed option than staying in Palermo. If you travel by public transport, it might be inconvenient at times. There is not bus to Palermo and trains can only stop locally every 60-90 minutes. "

"Very nice hotel and amazing people."

"My wife and I stayed here in November 2025 along with another couple. As is noted in other reviews, the pictures don't do the villa justice and it is exactly as advertised. The road in and out (last few miles) is a bit difficult to traverse and renting a 4 wheel drive as suggested by the host is a very good idea. Other than that, the place is absolutely fantastic, including the location generally for touring around Sicily (in particular Palermo, Cefalu and surrounding areas). The villa is exceptional and fully stocked with everything required. Beyond that, the hosts (Paul and David) go above and beyond in every way, including facilitating everything you need for arrival, ensuring your every need is met and providing great recommendations for tour spots, wineries and restaurants (even making reservations). They are both amazing people and joined us a number of evenings for some wine around the outdoor fireplace. They also have a local chef they recommend for in-house dining - chef Bruno and his partner Giovanni and they are absolutely wonderful and the price is extremely reasonable (less than comparable meal at a restaurant) Probably the best meals we had in Italy were with them and we had them cook more than 4 evenings (would have been more but we did tour around a fair amount). Bruno also hosted a cooking class for us and it was brilliant. If you stay here having chef Bruno cook is an absolute must. Overall we can't rate the villa or Paul and David high enough. "

"Everything was amazing!!! Best place to stay!! 100 percent recommending to anyone asking for a stay in this area"

"A lovely hotel with pool and spa. Modern large room with private deck. Calm environment and very quiet. Wonderful spa services. Great buffet breakfast. A good place to stay to relax, 20 min away from the busy Cefalu area."

"Everything about this hotel is amazing"

"Great hotel and the best restaurant. Such a great place for dinner. "

"Beautiful property! Amazing views and we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Paolo and Morena are perfect hosts and were easy to comminicate with. They do everything to make you feel at home. Be sure to visit their family owned jewelry store. We were treated like Kings and Queens there and bought some beautiful pieces. Do not hesitate to stay here!"

"I had a good stay at the hotel. Very comfortable room, right on the water, and nice staff. Not a great location if you don’t have your own transportation. "
