About this property

A perfect place to relax in the countryside with sea views and organic garden

A perfect place to relax, enjoy the countryside whilst appreciating the sensational views towards the sea from every angle of the house. Superb surroundings with large terrace, olive grove, fruit trees and own organic vegetable garden. Great location for families or couple who like a large outdoor area where they are able to sit, relax and for children to play. There is air-conditioning in all the rooms.

Exterior: outside kitchen with old style wood oven with table and chairs. Extensive outdoor area with ample place to park.


Sensational surroundings: Located only 1.5kms from the village of Sant'Ambrogio where one can shop at the minimarket, eat at the Pizzeria or seafood restaurant that is located in the centre of the village. The pebbly/sandy beach of Sant'Ambrogio is 2 kms from the house, there's free or paid parking nearby or you can park your car in the village and walk via the steps that lead to the beach (need to cross-over the SS113).

Village of Sant'Ambrogio : The enchanting village of Sant‘Ambrogio, 5kms from the picturesque old fishing town of Cefalú on Sicily’s northern Mediterranean coastline. Sant’Ambrogio is a haven of tranquillity. The village has all you need for everyday life and offers the best of the region’s mountains, sea and culture. Enjoy eating at the family run restaurants in the town’s small piazza and experience the authentic Sicilian way of life.

From Sant’Ambrogio you can easily reach many of the region’s most attractive areas including the beach (100 metres), the bustling city of Palermo (40 minutes by car), the spectacular Aeolian Islands (2 hours by boat) and the Park of the Madonie Mountains. You can explore the ancient fortresses or enjoy a show in the open air amphitheatre in the authentic hill top village of Pollina 700m above sea level. Or just relax and soak up the character of this lovely Sicilian village.

Villa Hideaway
A beautiful villa with plenty of room for six adults, we enjoyed our stay at Deodata. Impeccably clean with plenty of supplies we were happy to relax and enjoy the view. We especially loved the pool, essential after the walk back up the hill from Sant’ Ambrogio. The garden provided fruit and vegetables and we even fired up the pizza oven. A very special Sicilian stay.

Einfach wunderbar
Èin wunderschönes Anwesen im Hinterland von Cefaú. Die Aussicht auf die Küste und Cefalú ist atemberaubend. Das Haus ist mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und noch viel schöner als auf den Fotos. Peter hat uns persönlich begrüßt und uns sogar ein Brot gebacken. Das Haus ist sehr hochwertig ausgestattet. Wir haben jede Minute dort genossen und würden gerne wiederkommen.

Amazing stay!
We had a wonderful week at this villa and would definitely recommend it! The highlight is the amazing view and lovely pool. The interior of the villa was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed using the outdoor kitchen and bbq as well. We picked vegetables from the garden which was an added bonus!

Relaxation with activities nearby if desired.
The villa was beautiful and the views from the garden stunning. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Peter and Carmelina were extremely welcoming and allowed us to totally make the villa our home for the 2 weeks. When we had any questions they were always quick to respond and extremely helpful - we could have not wished for better hosts. Their local knowledge was also very valuable. After we left they even took one of our sons and his girlfriend to the railway station!!!

About the host

Hosted by Carmelina Ricciardello

Host profile image
I named the house after my mother, her name is Deodata which is an old Sicilian name which means “god gave”. I feel that was exactly what it was, finding this house was very special for me.
Since I have never given my mother any grandchildren this is my way of compensating.
I have renovated the house adding a lounge area, coming the kitchen as another downstairs bedroom and the latest addition was the swimming pool.

Why they chose this property

The views are sensational surround by the countryside and olive grove where I pick the olives every year to make the oil which I leave at the villa for guests to use.
My partner and I enjoy looking after the garden and we created an organic vegetable with seasonal vegetables and herbs for the guest use.

What makes this property unique

In a quite area, immersed in nature but still close to the village and Cefalù where one can be amongst people. Also close to the beach.
