Beautiful resort, but if you want to visit Cefalu city center not the best location. The hotel offers rides to city center but only limited hours. A 4 star hotel shouldn’t have instant coffee in the rooms should be broker quality. The breakfast was very good.

An amazing private resort on a small scale: new, clean, and thought through in every little detail. The premises are aesthetic, good-smelling and feel exclusive. The garden feels like a cosy hideout. Great cocktail bar, both during the day and in the evening, with Salvo and Emanuele not missing a chance to surprise you and make you smile. The fine dining experience at the on-site restaurant “Zayn” is worth a mention, too. A complimentary electric shuttle and EV charging are available, too.

The best feature of this hotel is its staff. The accomodation is well thought out, very comfortable and all looking iut iver the sea or pool. The fine dining is amazing, the cocktails and drinks were of a great standard. Shuttle.bus is a real bonus.

Absolutely gorgeous boutique property, perfect for R&R, lounging by the pool and indulging in the inventive tasting menu (a high point during our trip!). Fantastic pool and bar area with fast and friendly service. Charming Cefalu is a shuttle ride away and we appreciated not having to drive ourselves into the town. The staff were very kind and attentive. The only downside was the size of our room - extremely small, if I were to return, I would seek out a large room if that is an option. The private terrace helps make up for it.

Beautiful relaxing resort out of the way. Most staff were great. Breakfast was fantastic. Pool area amazing. Shuttle into Cefalu is great except that the last return shuttle is at 6:30 which doesn’t help you get into town for dinner so we had to take taxis back. Lunch options by the pool were a little too fancy for our tastes. Cold pool, brrrr.

10/10

The staff were always friendly, yet always professional. Beautiful hotel and environment. The food in the restaurant was incredibly good, with excellent service. Somewhere to eat in the evening with a more relaxed atmosphere would have been nice. Walking into Cefalu isn't such an issue. Parts of the road arent paved, parts are. Just be careful and you can cut down a side street to take you onto the beach road. Takes about 40minutes walking Would I go back. Definitely !!

We really enjoyed our stay at Insulae. A beautiful place to relax. Very clean, great breakfast, nice outside area with lounges, pool, ping pong and private terrace. Very friendly and sweet staff. We rather used the public beach which is in walking distance than the private sea access. The location is a bit far out to Cefalu city, but we knew that in advance, so no problem. Things that could be improved: possiblity to hang up wet towels etc. The parties booked by external people were a bit unexpected and noisy.

Ottima struttura. Bello il contesto, ed ambientazione eco-elegante e suggestiva. A pochi minuti di macchina dal centro di Cefalù Con servizio di navetta gratuito che fa più giri nel corso della giornata. Un solo ristorante con pochi coperti , ma servito da chef stellato Ma fondamentalmente il punto di forza del resort è il personale : dinamico, giovane, sempre disponibile , cortese e molto accogliente e sorridente. Ottima la colazione, non saprei invece per la cena che non abbiamo.mai consumato nel ristorante del resort, in quanto le temperature miti di fine ottobre, ci hanno sempre permesso di uscire la sera ed addentrarci nei vicoletti della splendida Cefalù ed i suoi tipici locali

Sehr nettes Personal und super Frühstück. Mittagessen würden wir nicht so empfehlen. Wir waren begeistert, dass es mehrmals täglich einen privaten Shuttleservice nach Cefalu in die City und Abholung von dort gibt. Sehr easy per WhatsApp buchbar. Begrüßungsgetränk aufs Haus war auch sehr lecker.

Petit hôtel calme, avec confort au top, à 2 pas de Cefalu grâce au chauffeur de l’hôtel. À noter la restaurant d’exception de l’hôtel, penser à réserver sans hésiter. Je recommande

Romantic room ist viel zu klein. Dusche und Waschtisch direkt im Zimmer. Dusche schwer zugänglich. Sicher keine 20m2! Zudem lärmig da ständig berieselt von Pool lounge Musik. Befindet sich zudem direkt über Küche mit entsprechendem Lärm und Gerüchen. Restaurant ist hervorragend. Sonst o.k.
