About the home
This apartment is perfect for couples who want to be close to Cefau with all its attractions, but be able to relax in peace and quiet on the terrace away from the tourist crowds. The accommodation is bright and spacious with light flooding in from French windows in both the bedroom and the living areas. In the mornings you can take your 'cornetti' (Italian croissant) and coffee on the sunny terrace that leads into the kitchen/dining room. A further private terrace for your exclusive use has sunbeds and splendid sea views. A parking space is provided.
The apartment forms part of the ground floor of a large luxury villa owned by a charming and hospitable Sicilian couple, who will be happy to leave you in complete peace and privacy or invite you to share a drink and a few Sicilian anecdotes with them.

The Sicily region
Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, famous for its breathtaking scenery, wonderful locally produced food and its incredibly friendly people. In the east towers of the island stands Mount Etna. At 3,320m (10,900ft) high, it is one of the world's tallest and most active volcanoes. The beautiful Aeolian Islands are to the north and are reachable by boats which leave the small port of Cefalu daily during the summer season.
Sicily is a truly year round holiday destination. If you are a beach lover then the long summer season will be ideal for you. If mountain excursions, walks or cycling trips are more your thing, then the warm sunny spring and autumn seasons will be the ideal time. Winter sports enthusiasts can ski on the slopes of both Etna and Piano Battaglia (near Cefalu), in the winter months from December to February.
The Cefalu area
Cefalu is less than an hour’s drive along the coast, east of Sicily’s capital Palermo. It has long been one of Sicily’s most beautiful and popular resorts. Walking through the historic centre of the town you will discover charming cobbled streets lined with interesting local shops and excellent restaurants. At its heart, in the town’s main square, stands the imposing Norman cathedral built in 1132 by King Roger 2nd. The huge image of Christ Pantocrator in the cathedral’s apse is remarkable. Close-by, the long stretch of sandy beach is popular with both locals and tourists, and as the sun sets over the sea, the promenade comes alive for the evening passegiata. Cefalu is not just a seaside resort, but also makes a convenient base from which to explore the interior of the island. A short drive away is the Madonie National Park, with its breathtaking mountain landscapes and picturesque hill-top villages, perfect for walking and cycling, and even for skiing in the winter months.

Where to start! if you love friendly ,kind and amazing owners then please do as we did and stay here.The family made our holiday so special , they even cooked a traditional Sicilian BBQ for us one evening.The villa is attached to theirs and has the most magical views and is immaculate, although fresh veg and gifts were showered on us they did not intrude.It is up a single track which is very steep but they meet you on the first day and drive in front to show you the way.Cefalu was our favourite town and the atmosphere great, we took a boat trip to the islands and saw a live volcano and swam in the sea after rolling in the healthy mud!We spent a week hers and a week on the east coast this is by far the best. |

Spring is a beautiful time to visit Sicily. flowers are amazing, and the weather is warm not too hot.
Villa Laura is a great base fro which to explore Northern Sicily. Highly recommend walking on the Mdonie Mountains and in the Rocca.
S.ambrogio beach is lovely. we have had a great time and the partment is lovely, as well as being very good looked after by Cosimo, Assunta, Laura and Wolly!
food in sicily is good in general but we enjoyed assunta's home cooking most!
