I was disappointed after previous experiences from this agriturismo. On the occasion of the mid-August holiday I booked a lunch and swimming pool package, the cost is not cheap: 60 euros. But the rest is absolutely not worth it: the guest pool is completely dominated by rude kids who dived or dived all day. splash towards people in the water. Lunch consisted of a ridiculous buffet because the first and second courses on the menu included the appetizer and fruit. Waiting about an hour late, paper tablecloths, crowds for dishes at the buffet, no dessert. I didn't enjoy lunch at all.

Discovered a hidden gem. We drove up the cobbled driveway, walked past the olive trees and walked into the courtyard, all beautiful. Was a lovely setting, dining in the courtyard with gentle jazz playing in the background. Our waiter was really helpful and recommended a delicious wine. I cannot have gluten or dairy and he was able to offer plenty of suggestions and I felt well catered for. We ordered sardine pasta with prickly pear as primi to share and lamb and pork and truffle secondi as our mains. The food was very nice and the lamb cooked perfectly. Highly recommend, only improvement would be to upgrade the toilets

My experience at Villa Cefalá was simply exceptional. The pizza chef Ignazio demonstrated incredible skill in preparing the pizzas, which were simply delicious. The waiter Ignazio was extremely helpful and attentive to our every need, making our meal an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine served with courtesy and professionalism.

Beautiful location, however the staff at reception was quite dismissive and not really helpful. Instructions were not clear and we had to ask for different things twice. Breakfast was very average and no what you would expect from such a place and it cost 10 euros (when you can go anywhere else around there and have an amazing breakfast for less than half of the price) - we had a look at the food and left. The pool is open for external people too so it can get really crowded. No lifeguard whatsoever and as a result a lot of kids doing whatever they like with no control. The room was clean and nice. Overall the structure is really beautiful, I wish the staff was more welcoming.

Mostly the food was good, the desert being a particular highlight. The tuna was overcooked, make sure you specify if you want it rare, A learnt mistake. All food was tasty and fresh including the grilled veg. Wine was a good choice after research and on waiters recommendations. The big BUT? Is the music! Who wants to sit in a beautiful courtyard setting, late balmy September evening, candles flickering, good food and wine then, the piercing sounds of shredding guitar playing the same tunes over and over is your soundscape backdrop? Oh! You do? Then look no further, head to Villa Cefala :)

Terrible experience. Sunday lunch at 45€ with entrance to the swimming pool... Absolutely an excessive price for the services received. Comfortable open spaces, nice but crowded pool, lunch served with a messy buffet (without having specified it when booking) and poor quality, badly organized with all the courses arrived together and only two waiters to manage all the tables. Wine (included) served for lunch now finished, bland fish and vegetables. Result: confusion and stress, we will never return.

My husband and I chose Villa Cefala' for our wedding thanks to the trust transmitted by Matron Ignazio who does his job with dedication and love .. We felt fully understood in our needs and identified with our expectations guaranteeing us an excellent result. An elegant and refined location, attention to detail. Impeccable service thanks also to the deputy matron Pasquale, fresh fish, well presented dishes.The chef , also Ignazio, has worked to find excellent raw materials, even out of season such as cherries for risotto with fresh lobster, but also octopus and oysters, cake, various appetizers at the buffet, the second... it was all very good! Wines, bitters, cocktails.... nothing was missing.... We thank you from the heart.... You made us spend a beautiful wedding We trusted and we did not miss at all. Thanks again from Rosy and Riccardo.

We went for lunch last Sunday, choosing to eat à la carte and not the fixed menu. We took three different first courses to try new dishes: spaghetti with sardines and prickly pears, spaghetti alla norma "revisited" and half paccheri with beef ragù, chocolate and cinnamon. All very pleasant with the only flaw being that the prickly pear sauce was too liquid. The desserts were also pleasant, perhaps just the too foamy tiramisu. Overall a pleasant experience, also due to the courtesy and professionalism of the staff who followed us during lunch.

Tried the pizza restaurant several times, the last time a few days ago for our son's birthday: excellent service, excellent cleanliness and high quality food. Pizza with digestible dough and top quality toppings, hot appetizer fried well and above all not greasy. Cozy environment, Christmas period feels like being at home with the tree, the fireplace and the Christmas music. Obviously the location deserves both interior and exterior. Congratulations 💯👏

Don't buy today's fish!! Sure, the surroundings are lovely, but they prefer to serve the white wine tempered; that is, warm! If you order the fish of the day; ask how many grams/hectou they intend to load the direction with! We were able to reduce the direction by 23 Euro, but still it was sickly too much! Never again!

Friday 8/18/2024 Entrance instead of €15 is €20 and it's neither Saturday nor Sunday and they haven't updated the Instagram or Facebook page, so what do you do once you get there? Stay . Today the lawn is in an uncomfortable situation with 30cm of water barely enough to eat. Only person who runs a kiosk on the lawn. Obviously he can't get there. With €40 more you can help out during lunch time. P.S I understand the factor of making money which is the last few weeks but not like that. I ran away

We went here as an extended family and the staff were attentive and considerate throughout. The food was top quality and well presented. We had multiple courses and plenty of wine £60 per head overall. Superb. Amongst the great dishes was perhaps the best Spaghetti con Vongole that I have ever had.

Staying in this fabulous Villa was really very nice. Well-kept environment, swimming pool managed in the best way and with the necessary amenities. Restaurant clearly above average with many tasty dishes. Hearty breakfast and very nice and helpful staff. The owners immediately proved to be very welcoming and helpful people, we also had their advice to visit the beautiful places of this beautiful region. True entrepreneurs with the customer always first. We are particularly pleased and pleased to have stayed in this fabulous Villa. Ten and honors.

The location is really nice and well maintained and I think there is room for improvement in the catering. I was there on Sunday 3 March for lunch and the dining room was full as an egg with at least a dozen children so much so that Mr. Ignazio had difficulty moving from one table to another even though he did his best. Starters and first courses were good but the second course and the pseudo cannoli were almost inedible. When you want to create a loyal customer base you need to be appreciated both in terms of quality and service. I give particular praise to the service staff!

Beautiful and historical place with a nice and calm aura, delicious food and kind & helpful staff. It was a coincidence that we found this restaurant, as we arrived late at our hotel which did not seem to have a nice restaurant, and ended up eating our dinner here instead. A great culinary experience!
