Overview

 
Set right on Cefalù’s lively seafront promenade, Victoria Palace blends clean-lined, modern décor with a classic Sicilian beach address. Step out for a dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea, wander into the atmospheric old town, then return to a rooftop terrace breakfast and an easy-going pool scene – all within a compact 30-room hotel that feels more boutique than big resort.

Wake to big-sky sea views from the rooftop terrace, cross the promenade to one of Sicily’s prettiest beaches, then lose yourself among Cefalù’s medieval lanes and cathedral square. Victoria Palace gives you an outdoor pool, access to a private beach area, stylish modern rooms and a central-yet-relaxed base for exploring Sicily’s north coast. For couples and friends seeking Sicily (Catania Airport)’s coastal charm with easy access to history, dining and beaches, Victoria Palace delivers just that. It’s around 2 hours 45 minutes from Catania Airport along Sicily’s scenic north coast. See more Italy holidays.

When the sea calls, just cross the promenade for the main public beach or wander a short distance (around 150m) to the hotel’s allocated private section of sand, typically equipped with sunbeds and parasols in season (local rules and charges may apply). Pool facilities generally operate from 1 May to 30 November, weather and occupancy permitting.
