Holiday rentals in Alia

From the moment we checked into Gabriele's place, we knew this was going to be an amazing stay. We were personally welcomed by Ettore, who gave us a run-down of the place and had a couple of cannolis waiting for us in the fridge. The family who owns the place is so friendly and hospitable, attentive to their guests' every need. Of course, the main highlight is the terrace with amazing views (perfect to drink your morning coffee), as well as the private access to the water downstairs. This Airbnb literally has everything you could possibly need: from reefshoes and snorkels to cooking utensils and enough cupboards to put away all your stuff and feel right at home, it's clear they have really thought everything through. Just be mindful that going to the supermarket or restaurants requires a short drive, but this was hardly an issue when the place looks like this. Hands down one of our best Airbnb experiences after about 35+ stays and counting. Thank you again! :)

Amazing villa, everything has been finished to a very high standard. The pool is luxurious and has great views over the valley and the sea, and it's so peaceful. We had an amazing week stay. Fabrizio was great to communicate with, providing clear instructions and recommendations when we asked. The only thing to note, is that whilst the villa is very private with the adjacent buildings, an external property does overlook the pool and terrace. But other than that, absolutely perfect.

We had a lovely stay! The place was just as described and seen in the photos. Everything was clean and tidy. Marco was a great host, he was very responsive during our stay and helped us check in and find parking and also provided local recommendations!! Thank you!! :)

Fantastic stay in the heart of Cefalù! The location couldn’t be better — just 30 seconds from the beach (bed rental was €30 for the day) and surrounded by great restaurants and local charm. The apartment was exactly as described, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Be aware there’s a steep flight of stairs to reach the apartment, but the view from the balcony more than makes up for it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to soak up the best of Cefalù!

This was a lovely clean and fresh apartment. Everything necessary was provided. The external terrace was very comfortable and provided views of the beautiful garden that surrounded the apartment with predominantly lemon trees but also a number of other fruit trees and cacti. Plenty of nice restaurants on the coast and easy access to Palermo and Cefalu.

This was our second visit to Paul and Esther’s exceptional home, having first stayed in 2024 and it exceeded all our expectations once again. You will not be disappointed; this is outdoor living at its best: they have thought of everything you might need; home-grown olive oil; utensils, a dish/pan for any dish you could imagine. Everything provided is excellent quality; so they achieve an enviable balance of feeling both like a real ‘home’ and a five star hotel! Paul and Esther are wonderful hosts; remembering our little boy, they kindly left some sweets/treats to welcome him. We all really enjoyed seeing them again; they are so warm and friendly - nothing is too much trouble; they are always respectful of ensuring you can enjoy your own secluded space, which is comfortably away from their house. They really have worked to create a fantastic home and AirBnB. Neither words nor the photos do justice to how beautiful it is or the calm serenity you feel as you relax in this space.

Fantastic stay! The apartment is everything that it is announced and more. You will be surprised by the attention on the details (cudos on the amenities). The location is very special and the view is absolutely beautiful. The beach is quite busy on weekends but much calmer on the weekdays. We had a perfect stay. Giuseppe made everything even more special, the most thoughtful and caring host I've seen. Ricorderemo sempre questo viaggio con grande affetto. Grazie!

We loved everything about staying at the La Veranda Sul Mare!! The house was beautiful and very well stocked kitchen was all new and had everything you needed. The private beach access was awesome. Domenico was very helpful throughout our whole stay from helping us with transportation on the way to a smooth check out at the end. The home is quite removed from Palermo central, ~30 minute drive, but perfect for a peaceful getaway while still having some stores and restaurants within walking distance. We would wholeheartedly recommend booking your holiday with domenico at La Veranda Sul Mare!
