The rooms and the space are very well designed with an attention to all the details (like hooks on the walls of the bathroom or a shelf in the shower installed so that it does not get wet, or a flower watering can, or an espresso machine and espresso cups in the room ...). The breakfast was nicely arranged with everything you need to start the day. And kitchen available for making tea in the evening. And Fabrizio was a perfect host. He was friendly and patient listening to us telling him how cool everything is organized. He was very helpful with providing important hints about Cefalú and where to eat out.

The only thing that I could recommend for improvement (especially for the German guests) during the breakfast — also provide the soft boiled eggs. Though I understand how difficult it is to do that actually.

- The owner Fabrizio is extremely friendly, helpful and excellent in communication (also in English). Many thanks! - The rooms / bathrooms are of very tasteful modern design, new and well equipped. Pleasant is also the little balcony of the room where I enjoyed cappuccino in the sun after breakfast. - The breakfast was of high quality and rich choice, prepared/served by two friendly smiling ladies who made me feel like at home. Also to them "mille grazie".

We loved everything about staying at the B&B. From central location, very clean and modern in an Historical building, excellent breakfast and most importantly the warm welcome of fabrizio and the staff and wonderful tips and advise! We felt at home and everything was really easy, smooth and made our few days in Cefalu a great holidays. As we were heading to Palermo, we also got from Fabrizio a very useful list of things to do and see. We definitely highly recommend this place!

Nothing! Everything was perfect

Cortile Umberto gives you the feeling you're staying at home in your own comfort. The host takes time for all the guests, the rooms are spacious and clean and the breakfast is good (with very friendly staff). It is also a plus that items such as umbrellas for the beach are available to use. Communication with the host went smooth and you can reach them very easily via Whatsapp (quick response).

Breakfast time for myself, as an early bird, was a bit late. So we generally went out for a cup of coffee first before having breakfast at the B&B. On the plus side it makes the B&B very quiet. So it didn't bother me really.

Fabrizio and his wife were on site for entire stay, answering any questions we had, giving recommendations for us, and each morning we were greeted with a beautiful breakfast and lovely staff who helped us every day to have a typical Sicilian breakfast with all the hospitality to go with it! We would recommend this B&B for it's location and proximity to the train station, to all the local shops and eatery's and for it being a quiet location for rest, but a quick walk to everything exciting in the city to do as well as a quick walk to the Cefalu beaches.

We loved staying at Cortile Umberto. Fabrizio and Flavia were warm and friendly, and so accommodating of anything we needed. The rooms were well decorated, light, spacious, and had all required facilities. The location was perfect with nearby cafes and restaurants, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Fabrizio and Flavia helped us find a free street to park on nearby with no issues. Breakfast had a wide selection which we were happy with. We have recommended this place to friends and would gladly come back again.

This was our most enjoyable stay on our Sicily trip. On the one hand, the delightful and romantic Cefalù, on the other hand, the lovely host Fabrizio, who arouses 100% sympathy from the first minute. The facility is located in the heart of the village. Within walking distance, all the most important attractions of the town, a multitude of restaurants and bars. The facility is small, maybe 5 rooms. Located in a beautiful, historic tenement house. Rooms cleaned daily. Super comfortable bed, fragrant linen. The greatest asset of this place is Fabrizio, who is always and everywhere ready to help. Be it restaurant recommendations, walking routes or even a guide to Palermo. In addition, he helped us a lot with the repair of the car. Just an angel!

I hope Fabrizio will not take it badly, but as constructive criticism. Our only remark concerns breakfast. After 30 minutes there was practically nothing to choose from. The lady who served the room seemed not to see that there were empty dishes. Too bad because it would be perfect. But still 10 from us! And we will recommend to friends and family.

Fabrizio was super friendly and had some great recommendations for our stay in Cefalù. He was also super helpful when I happened to get a bad sunburn, he pointed us to the nearest pharmacy. Room was great, loved the little ceramic decorations in the room. A true Sicilian touch. Breakfast staff was lovely. Room service was a nice touch we did not expect considering that the price of the room was not that high. The location was central, the beach and all the restaurants were only a walk away. Overall, the stay was absolutely great and we are looking forward to staying there again!

The property was centrally located, which made it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. My room (#4) was spacious and exceptionally clean, as was the whole property. Fabrizio had great suggestions on restaurants and sites to see. If you follow his recommendations you won’t be disappointed. As a solo traveler I felt very safe walking back at night.

There isn’t anything I didn’t like about this property.

Having visited Cefalu as a day trip from Palermo at the weekend, I knew I had to come back for my final days on my first trip to Sicily. Fabrizio’s place did not disappoint! Excellent location - I got the train from Palermo Centrale to Cefalu and the B&B was located within a 6-8 minute walk (probably would be faster if I didn’t have a large suitcase). It is at the top and start of the main pedestrianised area at the top of the old town but also located near the entrance to the Parco della Rocca di Cefalu, which is well worth the effort for the views. Contact before my arrival was excellent and Fabrizio was able to facilitate an early bag drop off so that I could go back to exploring and spending time on the beach. Not before he gave me some excellent recommendations for food and drink locations - only wish I had more time! The room was super clean, bed comfortable and shower excellent. Love the tiling in the bathroom and the fact there were lots of pillows to choose from. My room had a balcony which was a nice option and I would have used more if I had stayed longer (sadly only there for one night). Breakfast consisted of an excellent selection of fruit, juices, pastries, cakes, cold meats and cheese. Washed down with the best cappuccino I’ve had during my 9 night stay in Sicily. Check out and check in were both super simple. Really great that beach towels were offered and also a fridge to store additional food/drink if needed although I didn’t use this. Shampoo and shower gel were also provided - my one recommendation would be that these are labelled as I wasn’t quite sure what I was using! Fabrizio made me feel so welcome that I would come back to Cefalu in a heartbeat!
