Overview

 
Perched on a Sicilian hillside with sweeping views towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, Hotel Costa Verde blends fun-filled family facilities with grown-up comforts. Days revolve around the spacious pool terraces, beach club and the Acqua Verde waterpark next door, while evenings bring panoramic dinners and live entertainment. With a well-run kids’ club, a relaxing spa and a choice of board bases up to All Inclusive, it’s a solid choice for couples, friends and families keen to mix Cefalù’s historic charm with easy resort living.

Think big sky sea views, a backdrop of pine-cloaked hills and a cluster of low-rise whitewashed buildings wrapped around palm-lined pools. Hotel Costa Verde makes the most of its elevated position with terraces, bars and restaurants designed for sunset-watching. Families gravitate to the splash-ready main pool and neighbouring Acqua Verde Waterpark, while couples sneak off to the spa or the quieter corners of the gardens before heading down to the private beach club for loungers, a parasol and an Aperol within arm’s reach. For couples seeking Italy’s island charm with easy family-friendly facilities, Hotel Costa Verde delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 1 hour 45 minutes from Palermo Airport.

Map & location


Cefalù, Sicily (Palermo Airport), Italy

Hotel Costa Verde sits on a hillside above the coastline a short drive from Cefalù, one of Sicily’s prettiest historic towns. From the hotel you’ll gaze out over olive groves and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with Acqua Verde Waterpark just down the road and a private beach area a couple of kilometres away.

Cefalù itself is all honey-stone buildings, a UNESCO-listed Norman cathedral, winding medieval lanes and a golden sandy bay beneath the dramatic La Rocca headland. It’s easy to spend a morning exploring the old streets and Porta Pescara gateway, then retreat to the promenade or back to the hotel pools for the afternoon sun.
