Terrible Experience at this Property!
The room was extremely hot when we arrived, and we turned the air conditioning on to cool it down. We then left for town and upon our return, we were shocked and dismayed to discover that someone had come into our room and turned off the air conditioning. The room was unbearably hot and the air conditioning unit could not cool down the room fast enough for us to get a good night of rest. We checked out the next morning, frustrated and exhausted. In addition, there were no facial tissues, the furniture was uncomfortable, the floor was uneven and dangerous when getting out of bed, there were no toiletries in the shower, slow internet, and no full-sized refrigerator/freezer as is misrepresented in the property details. Also, the room was a loft with low, sloped ceilings where it was easy to bump your head. The property description should also disclose that the road to the property changes into very bumpy gravel road prior to getting to the property which adds to the confusion on how to get there.

Fantastic stay
A wonderful B&B hosted by the excellent host, Francesco. Francesco gave us great local tips (including restaurants, parking spots, beaches) and was always welcoming and trying to ensure that we had a great stay which we did. We booked two rooms and both had a wonderful sea view on the hill, ample free parking, delicious and fresh breakfast and security gates. Place is located in a quiet location on the hill above the town which is only a 5 minute drive. Highly recommend!

Stunning property!
We arrived a bit earlier than expected but Nino was able to greet us within about 15 mins and allowed us entry onto the property where we could park and check in. The room was a bit small but this is a classic B&B so we had use of the entire kitchen and property; found ourselves later in the evening able to have a private dinner overlooking a gorgeous sunset from their veranda. The views at this property are stunning as is the entire town. You can't walk to anything from this hotel (and it's located down a really bumpy dirt road so have a solid car!) but we drove into town and found parking quite easily so wasn't a big deal. Nina made us an amazing breakfast the next morning which we took on the terrace overlooking the gorgeous vista. This place should be a must if you're passing through this gem of a town.....and as a bonus, if you love dogs like we do, there are two that can be seen on the property-Tomo and Kira; two of the cutest friendliest dogs around!

Friendly, helpful staff
We stayed one night and while the accommodation was fine if basic, access was our main concern. I did not appreciate the rough dirt road, our small hatchback was just ok over the worst section which is the first 250m off the main road. Anything more sporty would struggle. It is interesting at night! The staff were friendly although we had some communication issues when we arrived, the owner was not about to allow us in the main gates. It probably works out better if staying for a few days, other reviews have covered other points.

Beautiful views
Follow the road to the top of the hill and stay in this quaint B&B overlooking the sea. We were warmly greeted and enjoyed a fresh breakfast. There is no air conditioning and the dogs barking can sometimes break the tranquility of the place.

Fantastic B & B with a great host and breakfast!
Nino invited us with open arms. What a great host! He informed us about the local attractions and sights to see. The B & B was high on a hill and overlooked the sea. Nina prepared a fantastic breakfast. This was not to be missed! We slept well as both the room was so quiet at night and the bed was extremely comfortable. We had a car on this trip and I would think that this would be necessary for those visiting. The B & B grounds, building itself, and outdoor spaces were perfect. On visiting Cefalu again we would be very happy to again stay at Le Ginestre.

Wonderful 😊
If we could give it 6 we would. Francesco made us extremly welcome on arrival even though it was after midnight and he had to come and find us. We settled in to a comfortable room and the next morning discovered the magnificent views from the terrace. The whole stay was a joy with a lovely family on site, a beautiful place and of course Maria. Maria who made wonderful tasty breakfasts and brightened our mornings with her lovely smile and chatter. Thank you so much, you all made our holiday truely memorable. Ciao Bella

Beautiful place
If you are looking for a peaceful heaven around Cefalu, this is the place. From the back, the forest embraces the beautiful B&B and in the front, it opens up towards a magnificent view to the mountains on each side and the ocean at the end. Nonno Nini and Veronica were so warm, friendly and hospitable from the second we arrived to we left - we should have stayed for more days! Our room had a nice view and small terrace, which was lovely to use, especially in the morning.

La gentilezza e la disponibilità di Francesco e Nino, l'impegno e la passione che mettono in questo B&B sono eccezionali. La vista è mozzafiato. Sono in corso lavori di ampliamento che renderanno ancora più bella la struttura. Il prato è tenuto benissimo, si può camminare scalzi. Necessario avere un auto per raggiungere questo B&B, l'ultimo tratto (150m) è sterrato. La colazione è discreta e abbondante.
