Gelso Bianco Boutique Apartments

Pros: The owner was very friendly and gave us lots of useful travel tips. The apartment has separate room entrances from different directions. There is private parking. We had a lovely stay with our kids, and they enjoyed the swimming pool.

Pros: Stayed here from July 21- July 26 The only reason I'm giving this place a 10 is because the owner Umberto was really nice and accommodating. If you had a question or needed something, he made sure it was done and that you we're happy! It's a beautiful place but too much for the value in my opinion. Appartment was nice and modern inside but lacked certain things. The toilet bowl seat was broken and would come off. The kitchen did not have gloves for oven rack and lacked some kitchen utensils. Only had one drying cloth for hands in kitchen. Had a coffee machine that was broken, but Umberto quickly replaced it. There's a beach not far away from walking distance, but not the nicest beach. Overall it was a nice place but not sure I would pay 320$ CAD/night for this place.

Cons: Pool was dirty and there was sand and stuff in there the entire 5 days there. It's not cleaned often. Parking is available but very tight and can barely squeeze 4 cars inside the property. If not, there is parking outside the gate and not far from entrance. Location is nothing special as your at least 20 min from Cefalu and Campofelice di Rochella is a small town with nothing much to do. Price expensive for what you get.

Really relaxing in a lovely location.

Pros: Super easy to check in. Umberto was incredibly accommodating. We changed our check in time and he was really lovely about it. He gave us a comprehensive tour of the villa and the apartments, sent through lots of recommendations in the area and responded to messages quickly. The apartment was beautiful and very clean upon entry. The pool was lovely and the warm water outdoor showers were a bonus.

Cons: The bathroom could have been better. As the days went on, we noticed a smell in the bathroom. It turns out there was quite a bit of mould around the shower. There was a lot of limescale build up in the taps so the water squirted in lots of directions. The hot water stopped working on 2 occasions. This was dealt with quickly by Umberto and his father.

Landscapes inspire. A feeling of freedom at altitude

Pros: Five minutes' walk to the sea. Beauty. But if that seems like a lot, there is a swimming pool in front of the house. I like it. It's a quiet place, there aren't many people in the city, I'm glad. Definitely 10 out of 10

Pros: Firstly, there is need to mention about the host, Umberto. He is very helpful and responsive. He welcomed us at the check in, giving us all needed information. Of course, during entire stay he was ready to support us, whenever it was needed. The apartment itself is modern, well equipped. You may enjoy nice swimming pool with sunbeds. This is an excellent choice for either adults or families with children. The beach located nearby is nice. I would recommend a Lidio dele Palme restaurant, where you can find huge variety of pizzas, as well as seafood.

Pros: We had great time in Gelso Bianco Villa. Umberto very friendly and thoughtful host, his tips for must visit places are priceless. The apartment was equipped with everything you need. The highlight is the washing mashing🙂. Close to the Cefalù and the railway station. We enjoyed it very much. Dear Umberto, thank you very much for everything you did for us. When our son was ill during our stay, you really saved us, I will never forget your kindness and support. Thank you for everything and take care! Sending you my warmest wishes!

Pros: Berto communicates very clearly and responds in an instant. The pool is really nice and the palce is relatively close to the beach.

Highly recommended!

Pros: We had a wonderful stay in Gelso Bianco Boutique Apartments largely thanks to our fantastic host, Umberto. He was very responsive and always willing to assist us with anything we needed. Despite a minor Wi-Fi issue upon arrival, he kept us updated and made sure it was resolved quickly. The apartment was clean and well maintained with everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine, making our stay very comfortable. It also had a direct access to the pool which was open 24/7. Despite the fact that there were three more apartments in the villa, it never felt crowded or loud.While the area itself is quiet and somewhat away from the city center, it is close to the beach and some nice restaurant options which are just within a five-minute walk. However, for grocery shopping or to visit Campofelice, a car is essential. The train station is also a short seven-minute walk, making it easy to visit places like Palermo and Cefalù.

Modern, private accommodation with lovely outdoor space and friendly host

Pros: Umberto is a lovely and helpful host and the property is very modern and is a really nice place to have a base to explore the surrounding areas. The local beach and Umberto restaurant recommendations were also great too. Also made lots of use of the plenty outdoor areas including the pool. Secure parking was also an added bonus for peace of mind. Property is fully airconed too which was great during our hot stay.

Cons: We loved it all! Just a few things which we think would help improve the experience would be more kitchen items, more bed pillows, a shelf in the shower and a side table for the sofa. Small things which didn't affect our stay but would be nice to have.

Pros: Very nice pool, close to the beach. Umberto is very careful and nice. If you need something, just ask him 😉
