If you want to stay in the old part of Cefalu, then you have to expect lots of steep stairs and no elevators. I had a little trouble with stairs as recovering from knee surgery. When I arrived, one of the staff heard me and rushed down to help me and carry my bag, top marks for her attention. She also offered to change my room for one on first floor, but I declined as booked room bigger and airier. Decor was startlingly bright, shocking pink, purple and violet with jungle green trimmings. But, once my eyes got used to it, I found that it was very cheerful. You really can’t wake up in the morning to such a profusion of colour and not feel happy. My only complaint was the shower. The actual shower stall was very small and had a hard screen instead of a curtain, probably as many guests don’t put the end of the curtain inside the stall and end up flooding the bathroom. This wasn’t the problem, but the shower head was very high and for a shortie like me, meant that I couldn’t rinse off properly. If I could make a suggestion, a hand shower would solve this problem and probably save water.
