I'm reluctant to review our experience to keep this magical place to ourselves, and for fear that it will change. Nicole, Luigi, Guisepi, Michelo, and the rest of the staff/family including Noah the dog, made our stay at Il Cefalo truly enchanting. We coincided with the Festa della Bruna, which took place at the small village church which is only 50 meters away creating the perfect vantage point to take in the festivities ending with the most spectacular fireworks we've ever seen. We loved our stay, the wonderful variety of delicious food, the incredible views, and again, the impeccable service. We very much look forward to being back with our friends at Il Cefalo very soon. Grazie mille per essere stato così gentile con la mia famiglia. Un abbraccio enorme a tutti!

This place is special. Nicole, Michele, Luigi and the rest of the family made this one of the most special vacations we’ve had. As a local said to us. it’s Amalfi 30 years ago. The place is charming in a way that can only come from the authentic hospitality. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

Struttura sul mare perfetta per un weekend di relax. Buona colazione ed ottimo ristorante. Da migliorare insonorizzazione. N.b. le camere con vista mare laterale hanno il balcone che affaccia in parte su una proprietà privata con rischio per la privacy e la tranquillità. Ottimi gli infissi

The property and location were great and the staff in the restaurant were lovely along with the food. Unfortunately, the staff at reception were not very accommodating. The room was small and was one of the more outdated ones, but it was functional and comfortable enough for a couple of nights.

La camera era appena stata ristrutturata e quindi in ottime condizioni. La ristrutturazione è stata sapiente e ha restituito una camera che seppur standard è stata ottimamente rifinita. Non all'altezza degli ottimi standard la colazione che risulta poco variegata e con prodotti industriali piuttosto che artigianali. Peccato per il mare sporco e pieno di schiuma.

Super séjour!

L'hôtel IL CEFALO (3 étoiles) se trouve dans le parc naturel du Cilento, à 2 heures environ de Naples, la voiture est indispensable. L'hôtel se trouve en bord de mer, avec une petite plage privée, dans un petit village très calme. Les chambres (avec balcon et climatisation) sont spacieuses et bien décorées. Le personnel est sympathique, serviable et attentif. Les petits déjeuners (sucrés ou salés) sont variés et fait maison. Les repas se prennent en terrasse, avec une vue magnifique sur la baie : un vrai plaisir. Le restaurant de l'hôtel propose une carte avec des plats raffinés et délicieux. Les prix sont un peu plus élevés mais la qualité est au rendez-vous. A Ogliastro Marina il y a quelques pizzerias/restaurants qui proposent de bon repas à des prix très compétitifs. Enfin l'hôtel met à la disposition de ses clients (gratuitement) des bains de soleil. L'établissement mérite vraiment ses étoiles. Nous avons passés un très agréable séjour et nous pensons bien y retourner.
