"Some preliminary advice - do not completely rely on auto or mobile GPS in Sicily; we had a hard time finding San Ambrogio using the car's GPS. Worked well elsewhere in Italy during our 30 day sojourn.Once at the villa: you can't beat the view!It's a little cozy; kitchen is small even for guests who don't plan to cook much, and the loft has a double bed but low roof ceiling and a minimal but attractive steel and glass tread stairway leading to it.We visited during cool weather. The main level ventilation worked very well in the two bedrooms; did not see a ventilator in the main/kitchen area, just a space heater, so can't say what it would be like in summer.Kitchen could use some better countertop appliances and utensils. Suggested these to Stefano, and he was eager to hear it; he said if tenants don't tell him these things, he cannot know it because he doesn't live there.Laundry is in an outbuilding; washer only, drying rack available.Host Stefano is a wonderful, humble, and sincere person, and yet very engaging. We are seriously considering a return in 2027.P.S. - the donkey showed up one day in the olive grove on the adjacent property. He/she was looking for attention, so we bought an apple at Conad. But the donkey didn't do an encore! We were disappointed, but we left the apple for him/her (didn't get close enough to make that determination)."

"There isn't one aspect that stood out more than another. Everything was exceptional. We felt like family. It's hard to explain how wonderful the hospitality, home cooked meals, beautiful rooms and amazing views made us feel."

"Everything about the hotel was fabulous"

"Amazing house in the hills behind Cefalu. Great hiking in the mountains nearby and 35 mins down to the beach. Rosanna is an incredibly helpful and kind host. Thank you for your great hospitality during our stay."

"The noise of construction next door made us leave a day earlier despite the excellence of the hotel."

"The grounds are amazing. The food was good, with some really great options for breakfast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, nothing fancy."

"We would rate this hotel almost excellent, our room was very comfortable and serviced twice a day. The grounds and pool are beautiful, effort towards sustainability is evident. Service was sometimes slow and our drinks orders were incorrect a couple of times but no big deal. We booked a couple of ‘experiences’ the wine tasting was cancelled an hour before start time. The romantic meal was a bit disappointing in our opinion, the space and views were gorgeous but the location meant the food arrived cold, and long gaps between courses. The aperitif in the field was excellent, the views are stunning, could have done with something other than bread and nuts to eat, maybe add cheese and meats?! Overall we loved the resort, staff were friendly and ideal for a couple wanting to spend a few days in a secluded location. "

"This was a pleasant surprise on our trip. This home has an incredible view and deck. The hosts were helpful and welcoming and put on a phenomenal breakfast. Lovely stay. "

"Travelling as two families with 4 adults and 5 children (ages 11 to 17), we enjoyed our holiday at this property, which has great view overlooking the sea from its location in the hills above Cefalu. The villa is about 400 metres above sea level, on the winding mountain road up to the sanctuary at Gibilmanna. This made for a very pleasant climate (noticeably less humid than in Cefalu itself), great views and a calming location, although it does mean that a car is absolutely essential as there are no shops or restaurants closer than a 15 minute drive away. The property itself is made of three separate buildings - a row of 4 bedrooms, with a detached kitchen / living room opposite that, and a separate annex with further beds down some steps, next to the table tennis. There is a nice covered outdoor eating area, an outdoor kitchen, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven on on the same level as the main bedroom suite. The property is on a steep hill, with an off-road parking area above it which is much easier than the tricky access to the front entrance, but is quite a bit of effort when carrying shopping etc. Giovanni was a very helpful and responsive host, assisted by Adzim (apologies for any misspelling!) who emptied bins daily and was generally on hand for any issues. There are a few maintenance issues with the property which will continue to require attention, but this is a rustic property in a rural location and Giovanni & Adzim do their best to address any problems"
