Beautiful B&B set in greenery. The location is outside the center of Cefalù (about 4.5 km) and is ideal for relaxing. You can reach the center in just under 10 minutes by car. The rooms are cozy and very clean, as is the whole property. Francesco, the owner, and Nino (Francesco's father) are two delightful people. Mrs. Concetta prepares excellent breakfasts (the cakes she makes are spectacular). Highly recommended.

The property has an incredible view of the sea near Cefalù and the mountains. The stay is extremely relaxing, a good breakfast awaits us every day, always served with friendliness and good disposition. And then there is Nino, who knows how to welcome guests very well, a true good Sicilian and an excellent storyteller with whom it is a great pleasure to talk.

Super location above Cefalù. In the heat at the beach or in the town, it is wonderfully pleasant and cooler up here by the pool! The view is stunning and then the peace!!!

Great stay thanks to Veronica who takes care of breakfast. She is very helpful and super kind and gives you good restaurant tips. There are visits to do around Cefalù.

Beautiful hillside location with sea view. Extremely friendly and helpful owners with many tips for excursions and restaurants. Great breakfast from Veronica who gladly fulfills special requests. An ideal place to relax and for excursions in the area. For us, it was very nice days - like visiting friends.

Beautiful structure on a hill, but a stone's throw from Cefalù. Quiet, clean, and tastefully furnished. Waiting for us was Mr. Francesco's dad, an extraordinarily kind person. And then Veronica, also very nice and kind. What can I say, all ok.

We had a wonderful time at Le Ginestre. The view is amazing, we had a room with sea view and terrace. Francesco and his family are very warm hosts and provide great tips for excursions or restaurants. Communication is uncomplicated via Whatsapp. Breakfast on the panoramic terrace is rich, scrambled eggs or omelette are freshly prepared on request. Another highlight is the pool with a beautiful sea view. The first time can be a bit hard to find, as you have to drive a bit on a gravel road. For us it was perfect, thank you for the lovely time!

The owner told us we were 2 minutes away from Cefalù centre but it’s more than 10 minutes. The pictures of the place are a bit tricky, especially those of the swimming pool, made of a tarpaulin and shallow... Compared to the other places in Sicily we’ve been to, it was too expensive for what we got. So poor value for money.

Establishment without any reproach. Good welcome. Although small, the accommodation completely satisfied us. Beautiful equipped terrace. Great plentiful and varied breakfast, fruits, eggs, pancakes, cake... served by a charming lady always smiling! Located on top of a hill, the air is invigorating. Quiet guaranteed.

A small resort is located a short walk from Cefalù. It offers a panoramic view of the sea at sunset, a great breakfast, and a comfortable, very spacious attic. The manager is helpful and welcoming. We recommend it.

A little far from Cefalu. We were alone, but really alone in the house. Maybe a bit warmer in the presence of more clients. The owner advised us very well on places to visit and places to eat.

We loved our stay at B&B Le Ginestre and would definitely go back. It's in the hills overlooking Cefalu, so you certainly need a car, but such a nice place to stay only a stone's throw from the town and all it has to offer. Obliging host, top accommodation, lovely quiet setting away from the crowds, great views and amazing breakfasts.

We stayed for one night, beautiful structure in a hilly area, a bit far from the center but with a spectacular panoramic view. Excellent welcome from the owner who gave us great advice on where to go and what to do in the area. Good breakfast. Recommended.
