“Gorgeous small hotel on amazing beach”
It’s a special place - our room had a beautifully large balcony overlooking the sandy beach and sea. Gorgeous view. The bedroom was lovely and we slept very comfortably with the sound of the sea. We had the most delicious meal at the restaurant in the evening- this was a wow moment for us - and breakfast was gorgeous too on the sunny terrace overlooking The se Thank you also to all the wonderful staff.

“A wonderful stay with excellent food and great service. Thank you Il Cefalo. We will be back!”
Staff were friendly and helpful from the start. Our room was spacious, clean and sea facing with a well furnished balcony. Breakfast was an excellent choice of fresh fruit, pastries plus eggs and cold meats/cheese. We dined at Il Cefalo restaurant on most nights because of the excellent food (something not often found in 3/4* hotels!) Great service, quiet location. Lovely place to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary and we'd certainly go back.

“Experience paradise!”
I read about the area Castellebate by chance but decided to break our trip to Calabria to visit. It thought il Cefalo was just at the bottom of the town but it was a little way along the coast. Best mistake I ever made. The hotel was great, position fantastic and the food was top class!

“little paradise!”
perfect small scale accomodation in a tranquile bay where mass tourism has not found its way. directly at/on the beach, you can hear the waves and even see the sea depending on the room you have reserved. we had sea side view with a big balcony with relaxing chairs. the room was huge, modern and spotclean. the staff very friendly and helpful. breakfast was very good with lots to choose from. highly recommended!
