Excellent villa perched above the coast about 5kms East of Cefalu, and away from its touristy bustle, close to the village of Sant' Ambrogio and the beach of the same name. The views toward Cefalu and evening sunset views are spectacular.

A 15 minute hike to the beach or village (longer coming back uphill) may challenge some, especially youngsters, but we enjoyed a bit of exercise to burn off that Italian food! Yes a motorway viaduct is reasonably close but it really isn't intrusive. We enjoyed eating outside, made use of the BBQ, and generally preferred the quiet life of the villa and local village, with its two restaurants, and beach to the bright lights of Cefalu. We had a very memorable evening as honorary Italians in the pizzeria in the square watching Italy lose to Germany on penalties in Euro 2016.

There was just two of us but with 3 bedrooms (one small with bunks), two bathrooms and plenty of space indoors and out this villa would be perfect for a family. Apart from a half day in Cefalu our only trip beyond the village and beach was an evening trip to the beautiful mountain village of Castelbuono, 40 minutes away, with it castle and medieval streets and squares. A great place for a dinner and an ice cream.

If you want to visit this part of Sicily and don't want to be in the bright lights of Cefalu (such as they are) I heartily recommend this villa.
