Accommodation
Solemar Academy is delighted to offer a wide range of accommodation options in Cefalù. Over the years, we have heard time and time again from our students that one of the most important factors in their choice of school is the space they will call home during their studies, and we are thrilled every time we hear that they chose us precisely because we can offer exactly the type of accommodation they are looking for.
In fact, we have decades of experience in this field thanks to our ‘parent company,’ Solemar Sicilia, which manages beautiful holiday homes throughout Sicily. If you are considering buying a property in Sicily, we can also offer our services. Check out our brand new website: Property in Sicily.
Here in Cefalù, we have worked tirelessly to find a range of accommodations that, in our experience, provides a quality option for the needs of almost any student. Shared accommodation is the ideal choice for making friends here. The rooms are located either in Villa Caterina or in the immediate vicinity. We offer single and double rooms (which can only be booked as a couple).
THE SPACES
Each apartment has a bathroom, a kitchen, a common living area, a terrace or balcony, and two or three bedrooms. All guests can enjoy open access to the garden of Villa Caterina, where you can take advantage of shaded areas, a solarium, a vegetable garden, a chicken run, and a duck pond (and if you’re lucky, even fresh eggs), fruit trees, and a large lawn where you can relax. In the garden, you will also find a drinking water fountain, a ping-pong table, and beach equipment.
Every apartment includes a TV, a washing machine, air conditioning, wireless internet, and everything you need for a comfortable stay of any length.
LOCATION
The shared accommodations are located in the upper part of the city (see map). The beautiful old town center is just a 10-minute walk away. The return trip is uphill but shouldn’t present a problem for anyone used to walking. Solemar Academy Italian language school is just 900 meters away.
