🏨 Accommodation in Cefalù
Our wedding will take place at Castello Lanza Branciforte di Trabia, however we kindly recommend that all of our guests stay in the town of Cefalù, one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Sicily.
We know that many of you will be traveling from other countries, so we have prepared this section with a lot of care and detail to ensure your experience is comfortable, practical, and above all, enjoyable.
🚍 TRANSPORTATION ON THE WEDDING DAY (very important)
On the wedding day, round-trip bus transportation will be provided to and from Castello Lanza Branciforte di Trabia, the wedding venue.
Meeting point: Cefalù Train Station
Departure: from Cefalù Train Station to Castello Lanza Branciforte di Trabia (wedding venue)
Return: from the castle back to Cefalù Train Station
For this reason, we have selected hotels located within a 5–10 minute walking distance from the train station, so taxis will not be necessary and everything will be easy and convenient.
📍 WHERE WE RECOMMEND STAYING
The ideal area to stay is between the historic center and the beach, where:
-
You will find restaurants, cafés, and shops
-
You can enjoy the sea, charming Italian streets, and the town’s atmosphere
-
Everything is within walking distance
-
You are still very close to the train station
⚠️ The area immediately surrounding the train station is not particularly tourist-friendly. For this reason, we recommend staying closer to the historic center or the beach.
