Villa roverelle villa with pool - CIN IT082027C2IYJ8SZW9

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).

The property was everything we expected and more! The location, view, and host were top draw!

Villa is secluded but the view and surroundings are worth the effort. Great communication with Stefano who looks after the property for his son. all relevant amenities. Villa as described. You defo need a car as location is top of a hill outside a quaint village about 5 miles from cefalu. Great holiday

Well not much too say, than awsome! Bring some food for the neighnour donkey. The kitchen is not prepared for cooking bigger meals, but who wants to do that since you are in Italy?

Everything was just perfect!

What a lovely welcome we had off Stefano and throughout our stay at this stunning villa with amazing views. Everything about the villa was totally exceptional. The showers are the best we have experienced in any villa or hotel anywhere across the World! It is perfect! We would loved to have stayed for weeks and weeks. Also do admire all the stonework of the villa and all the walls. This was all done by Stefano himself and he is not a tradesman! This was Heaven on Earth! Thanks Stefano!

The host was friendly and very helpful. He met us in the village to take us to the villa. On arriving, the view from the villa was breathtaking - no high rise buildings and lovely and quiet. Our view was of the sea and hills and the pool was amazing and lovely and warm. The villa itself was just right. There are two bedrooms with air conditioning which was really needed during the heatwave. The upstairs doesn't have air conditioning and would only recommend using this room if it's not during the summer as it gets really hot. Our 18 and 21 year olds were happy to share a room and it worked out well. We feel that a car is needed to explore the surrounding areas and the walk to the restaurants is just under a mile which would be ok but it's a steep hill so not easy to walk up and down in the height of summer. Any other time of the year it would be fine as we like walking. There are two really good restaurants in the village - one called Sikula with really polite and friendly staff and the other restaurant is a Trattoria which has a lovely view of the sea. There is also a little shop in the village. We would definitely recommend this villa - there is a large window which gives a panoramic view of the infinity pool and scenery. We had such a lovely relaxing time here, even though we were caught up in the heatwave. Loved it! Thank you

Fantastic place to have a relaxing holiday. Bar and restaurants in Sant' Ambrogio were great so you don't need to go far...

Villa was in immaculate condition. Sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. Very private location and your only neighbor is a very friendly donkey! Short drive to small village of Sant'Ambrogio or 10 min to Cefalú. Stefano was a great host as well!

The villa was superb, only problem was the walk back from the village up a very very steep road.
