This fabulous house more than lives up to the photographs. It is superbly designed and is finished and equipped to a very high standard. We (5 adults) had 10 days there and had a fabulous time. It's a great place to chill. There is a shop and a couple of restuarants and bars just metres away in Sant' Ambrogio so you don't need to go far.
But Cefalu is just 10 minutes by car - or if you prefer you can take the bus. If you do want to explore further the house is a great base. There is lots to do in Cefalu including swimming, "snacking" on arincini and climbing La Rocca (fully worth the effort but not necessarily in that order).
We got as far as Taormina, Etna, Marsala and some of the mountain villages in the the beautiful Parco delle Madonie by car. We also visted Palermo by train - there is a regular service from Cefalu.
Overall, an outstanding home. Thank you to our fantastic hosts - you were first class. We would definitely go back.
