The Hotel Alberi Del Paradiso is a simple, charming property located a 15-minute walk outside of Cefalu. Common areas and mature gardens are attractive and welcoming. There is a lovely outdoor pool with lounge chairs, tennis courts, small spa, and a sunny fitness center all on-site. The hotel runs a shuttle into town and to the beach several times a day; the walk back to the hotel is an uphill stroll. Room decor varies according to price point; smaller rooms are on the basic side while suites are handsomely updated.

With numerous on-site activities -- including tennis courts, a large pool, and a small beach -- this 188-room vacation village feels like spending the week at camp, making it a solid choice for families with kids and groups of friends. The bungalow-style rooms have all the essentials -- some even include kitchens -- but feature basic decor and lack ocean views. Located off a quiet, residential street, the resort is just a 12-minute drive from the nearby town of Cefalu. With freebies such as breakfast and Wi-Fi and consistently low rates, it offers a good value. The Sporting Club is closed from late September to early April.

The 22-room, mid-range Astro Suite Hotel’s name conjures futuristic visions, but this hotel has a laid-back, boutique charm that embraces its seaside location at every turn. Spacious guest rooms, all of which are suites, have a beachy vibe and include separate bedrooms and terraces, many with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea or Cefalu’s iconic La Rocca mountain. Cefalu’s historic town center is a five-minute walk from the hotel and a private beach, outdoor pool, fitness center, and free breakfast make this hotel an amenity-packed value. Guests looking to stay right in the heart of the old town may want to try La Finestra sul Duomo for spacious full-service apartments that are slightly cheaper, but it lacks a pool and beach.

Baia del Capitano is a dated, mid-range property, located a 14-minute drive from the Sicilian town of Cefalu. An outdoor pool offers daytime relaxation, and a garden restaurant turns romantic in evenings when lawns are lit up, however some features are only available in the summer. Additional bonuses include two nearby beaches, on-site tennis court, a great roof terrace, and free shuttles. The 52 rooms are dated and in need of a refresh, and not all have outdoor spaces, but some have gorgeous views and all come with flat-screen TVs and hairdryers. Interiors are tired-looking, but guests don't tire of the pretty views, plus the free breakfasts are superb. Less remote, the Astro Suite Hotel is a good downtown alternative.
