GelAntico In Cefalù

21/05/2026: We wanted an authentic experience on our trip to Sicily and at the Conchiglia D’Oro that’s exactly what we got. Set in a quiet position about 15 minutes walk from Mondello beach the hotel is a lovely quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Mondello Beach and of course the centre of Palermo. The staff here are friendly, welcoming and willing to accommodate any request we had during our stay. Our room was basic, spacious, comfortable beds with an excellent bathroom and a small balcony. It was cleaned to perfection every day and was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Breakfast was continental with a decent array of pastries, breakfast cakea/biscuits, cereals, bread rolls, scrambled eggs and a good coffee machine. Drinks from the bar are available for the large majority of the day and are allowed out by the love pool area. It didn’t feel like the hotel was full when we stayed which added to the overall chilled experience but even if full our experience would have been just as positive. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay here and wanted to thank all of the great team at the hotel for making our anniversary week and my birthday a trip to remember! Worth noting that Palermo centre is about 15-20mins on a bus, we regularly caught the 806 bus from the stop at the bottom of the main road which is about a 10minute walk from the hotel towards Mondello beach. Buy bus tickets in advance on most tobacconists, there is a ticket booth on the main road down to the bus stop or I used Palermo Mobilita app to purchase my tickets. Either way don’t forget to validate your ticket when on the bus! ENJOY 😊

10/05/2026: The hospitality and service of the staff were outstanding. I can honestly say that I've rarely felt so comfortable and received such kind treatment. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to spend a few days in Mondello, just a 10-minute walk from the beach.
