We enjoyed the location of this B&B but it was very noisy on a busy street. The manager was not very helpful, and would not allow credit cards (saying the machine was broken), was hard to find when we wanted to check in, and was generally not very friendly. He did not want to provide breakfast, but we had our... More

Dolce Vita B&B is located right in the heart of the historical area of Cefalu. We stayed in two larger hotels during our week long visit in Sicily but this was by far the best. Upon arrival we were swiftly checked in and given our breakfast voucher. Breakfast (pastry and tea/coffee) is served 5 minutes walk away in the square... More

My friend and I recently stayed for a delightful week at La Dolce Vita B&B. The sea view room was clean and roomy. Over looking the sea from the terrace gave a perfect opportunity for picnic lunches, night time star gazing, and sunset viewing. An ideal spot to enjoy the old town. More

Stayed in Cefalu in September. Like it was said in the previous reviews - great location (center of the city, close to beach, restaurants). The staff was also ok - we've arrived very late in the evening, there was a card near front door guiding us to our room. The room had a bed, a bathroom, small fridge and small... More

I booked a few nights here and ended up staying one night instead. I was up all night from bed bugs. I got bitten all over. Had to kick the blanket off of me and ended up with a sheet in a very cold room. Not fun. Obviously they let me cancel without penalty, but I did still have to... More

With this B&B, or let's call it a glorified hostel, it is all about location. And the sea view terrace - although the terrace itself was bare looking. Moreover, this place lacks any charm or reason to stay over. We smelt sewage on the patio to our room which was on the front side of the building. Yes, it was... More

Dirty old rooms, nothing works, no breakfast, not a b and b, just a backpacker joint charging hotel prices. A pretty poor backpacker place at that!! Good location though and ok terrace. Wouldn't recommend. Enough said. More
