We had an amazingly relaxing stay at Villa Cincila - Antonio's place is a dream!
First things first, the view was incredible, totally exceeding the beauty of the photos. It was magical to wake up to & even more so in the evening.
It was easy to rent a car in Cefalu, Europcar were pretty good, and the drive is 10 mins away. But equally we walked down to Sant'Ambroggio easily - a leisurely 15 mins. There you can buy most things that you'd need including some delicious cheese from the little store. However, potentially the best thing about the place is Bacchus restaurant, run by the gregarious Mimmo. His food was the best we've ever eaten & so amazingly well priced. Wonderful, simple food - typical food done astoundingly well!
Anyway, back to the villa!
The bedrooms were great, loved the aircon in each and the outside shower was super refreshing to wake up to! The guys I were with loved the outside kitchen with its wood fire oven - we made a wonderful smoky chicken in it.
If you fancy amusing yourself with some ifalian tv - we highly recommend the food channel Alice! There's also a speaker so bring an audio jack.
The nearby big road isn't noisy, barely audible, so no need to worry there. No wifi, but plenty of signal!
There's a guide book full of tips for the local area (the Madonie hills are breathtaking) & Margherita is on hand should you need any help whatsoever - she v kindly booked us a taxi to the airport on our last day.
All in all, a spectacular place - reasonably priced and full of local gems!
