With some small investments and improvements this property could be much better. Let's start with the location. 
If coming with a car (which is by the way almost the only option) there's no chance you'll find it without asking others, phoning the owner,...etc. Even the locals don't know about it.
It is 1-2 km before you see the first houses of Cefalu town in a small side street (path) on the right hand side if coming from Palermo direction on the main road curve. There's no sign on the main road, and that pathway on the curve is the last place where you'd think it is. Let the Conad supermarket be your marker (the Casa is some 300 met before it, so if you passed Conad you missed it and make a u turn). Some 200 met uphill that narrow unpaved pathway and you'll reach the Casa. Once there, there's no reception or anyone to welcome you. You have to phone the owner to come to meet you, and he doesn't speak English. He was there quickly, after 5 min, but no help with the luggage to unload. 
Being uphill the Casa offers beautiful views of Cefalu town. These are self catering apartments and they're OK furnished, but with some issues which could be easily corrected (the first is surely to put a sign on the main road).
The double bed had an old and uncomfortable mattress. The closet was enough for us as a couple, but wouldn't be for a family of four. The TV is not there, in the main (sleeping) room, but in the kitchen???
The kitchen was well equipped, with a fridge, stove, microwave, sink,... BUT, for four days no one emptied the garbage bin beneath the sink. Instead there was more garbage every day, which made an awful smell. There was no big trash bin outside to do that ourselves. 
In front of the apartment was a small pool, clean and enough for a dip, nothing more. A small veranda in front of the room (which is also the apartment entrance) is nice for sitting outside taking the view, but not during the day, as there's no protection against the sun (neither on balconies above on the first floor).
Bathroom was OK, with a small shower and towels provided, but never changed for four days. Wifi signal OK.
I certainly wouldn't recommend this Casa for those without a car. The beach or Cefalu center is some 20-30 min walk.
Otherwise, it was an OK stay (apart the above issues) for a reasonable price.

Could be much better

First of all it was very difficult to locate as there was no signage on the main road and the track to the apartments was very narrow and steep with difficult parking.  The apartment was very nicely decorated but small with space wasted taken up with a kitchen that you would not wish to eat in, cramped and dark (TV in Kitchen!)  There were no chairs to sit on apart from 4 dining chairs (2 people) and balcony wasn't big enough as it was the entrance. The crockery was plentiful but plastic (melamine)! and a coffee pot for 1. Although the apartment was clean the bedding was disgusting, well worn and although towels were provided they had to last the whole week. The great thing was the views from our first floor apartment which made up for a lot. The dip pool and surround was kept immaculate .
