Top Hotels Near Maria Santissima Assunta in Castelbuono

"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)."

"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 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."

"Clean room and beautiful location. The highlight was the wonderful breakfast the host prepared. Easy access to Cefalu but a forest alternative. "

"We are on a 2 week Europe vacation. This was exciting what we needed. Quite/ peaceful/ a bit of a break. Lunch and dinner were great and the same price if we were to eat in town.
