    We had a wonderful honeymoon at Villa Palamara 1868. We particularly enjoyed breakfast and evenings on the terrace with its breathtaking views; and morning swims in the pool which was always clean and generally quiet. The well equipped kitchen...

    Tolles Anwesen mit wunderschönem Blick, besonderer Flair eines alten kleinen Klosters. Morgens kann man Orangen im Garten pflücken und sich Saft pressen. Wir hatten eine schöne Wohnung mit allem was man braucht

Company info

The apartment of the Villa that I intend to share is the historical "vacation home" of my family. There are all the memories of my holidays. Now that I have succeeded in realizing a restructuring of a certain value, inserting modern elements in the context of the late nineteenth century, while preserving its "flavor", I like to be able to share it.

Property info

The apartment is divided into two parts by an internal door: "La Torre" and "La Torretta". It is possible to reserve the two portions separately or both. The Superior apartment of 170 sqm. is "La Torre", with a terrace overlooking the sea, living room, kitchen and equipped with everything; from the large terrace of the Villa's apartment you can enjoy a magnificent view of the sea and the Rocca di Cefalù; "the apartment with balcony" of 50 sqm. is "la Torretta", without kitchen, with fridge-bar, kettle and coffee machine.
