Villa Dei Melograni Boutique Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Villa Dei Melograni Boutique Hotel is worth booking if you want a 5-star base in Cefalù with a pool, free parking and the cathedral within a 10-minute walk. It is the priciest of our three picks, so budget travellers and anyone wanting a warm swim should look elsewhere.

This hotel suits couples and families who want a higher standard, attentive service and an easy walk into town. Guests praise a friendly, professional team and tasty breakfasts with good coffee. Free parking makes it practical if you are touring Sicily by car, and family rooms are listed.
Skip it if the pool is a big part of your plan. Guests like the area and loungers, but say the water is unheated and cold. It also costs well above the city median, so if price matters most, our Budget and Best Value picks are much cheaper.
Location and getting around
The address is Via del Giubileo Magno, 2, in what the listing calls the top-rated area in Cefalù. The location score is 8.6 out of 10.
The Abbey of Thelema is about 300 m away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. Cefalù Cathedral is about 800 m away, around 10 minutes. The Sanctuary of Gibilmanna is about 5.1 km away, roughly 64 minutes on foot. That last one is far, so plan on a car, taxi or public transport. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 91 guest reviews, a joint second place among 7 eligible properties in our sample. Keep in mind that 91 reviews is a small sample, so a handful of new reviews could move the score.
Guests are most positive about the staff, described as friendly and professional, with a warm welcome and helpful service. Breakfast also scores well for taste, good coffee and presentation.
The main complaint is the pool. The area itself is attractive, with loungers, but the water is unheated and cold. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.
Price and what you get next to our other Cefalù picks
The reference price was €205.10 per night, about €410 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That is above the sample median of €155. For it you get a 5-star property that lists a pool, restaurant, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast options listed are continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Mediterraneo, is a 3-star at €79 a night with a score of 8.0. Our Best Value pick, Victoria Palace Cefalù, is a 4-star at €155 with a score of 8.7. Villa Dei Melograni costs about €50 a night more than the Best Value pick and scores slightly higher.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Cefalù. Our Luxury slot prioritises official 5-star hotels, and Villa Dei Melograni is one, with a strong 9.0 score. Its walkable location, broad breakfast options and free parking support the choice. The small number of reviews is the main caveat.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included, since the price gap with our other picks is large. If you plan to swim, remember guests describe the pool water as cold. Confirm the cancellation terms, which have not been assessed, and check whether the pool and restaurant are open on your dates.
