We spent 3 nights at this wonderful beach house situated near cefalu. We were looking to be close to cefalu but away from the crowds and this was perfect! It was 5km from cefalu but also close to s. ambrogio which is a small near by village which has some nice restaurants too.
We ate twice at the near by village, we spent a day and a half in cefalu and even did a short tour. We even took a train from cefalu direct to palermo and spent a fabulous day there! This was an easy trip and only took an hour on the train! We ventured out to eat in Pollina to Casale Margherita which is a farmhouse... That was amazing and our favourite meal (and cheapest)! Approx 25 euros for 3 course meal
The local Taverna s. ambrogio served great local food and very friendly, they are priced similar to cefalu restaurants. 12-14 euros for a plate of pasta
The house is tricky to get to but once you have settled in you are in your own spot of paradise with very few people around. There are neighbours on either side of you, so it is a place you come to relax and chill.
We even watched the sunset and sunrise! For us it was a good base and after a day of touring we could not wait to get in the sea and float there for hours!
We stayed there in August which is probably the hottest month in sicily and as the property states it has no air conditioning, 2 large fans were provided but unfortunately for us it was still a struggle. But the house and location is special and the host was always accomadating, helpful, polite and friendly.
