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.

Gorgeous Tranquility
We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful property than Villa Deodata. Peter and Carmelina have created an exceptional home and were exceptional hosts. The location, slightly above the cute little town of Sant'Ambrogio, and near the busier town of Cefalu was perfect. The views were phenomenal and my favorite thing everyday was eating breakfast out by the pool and looking at La Rocca in Cefalu and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The care and attention to details in the house and the garden are wonderful. We didn't get to meet Carmelina, but Peter met us and showed us around the property and was quick to respond to our questions. Carmelina created a wonderful and thoughtful binder of information regarding the area and we used it a lot to determine outings. We were sorry to leave this wonderful house and hope we can return in the future. Thank you, Peter and Carmelina, for your warm welcome and letting us stay in your lovely home.

A fabulous vacation.
A lovely villa, impeccably clean, beautifully appointed and equipped. Peter and Carmelina were excellent hosts, always available and helpful. Small village of San Ambrosio was friendly and welcoming. One of the best rentals we've ever had and we've done a lot of traveling.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful villa close to Cefalù
We loved our stay at this beautiful villa. The views are spectacular, and it has a lovely property and outdoor spaces. We also loved the interior — it's beautifully decorated and well appointed. We cooked several meals in and made great use of the well-equipped kitchens (both indoor and outdoor). Carmelina and Peter were extremely responsive. They lined up Gainfranco to cook for us one night...it was a highlight of our trip — the meal was delicious, and we had lots of leftovers for the following night! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts, Carmelina and Peter. We would love to return one day!

Amazing Experience
Perfect location, views of Cefalu, great layout of house (inside and outside), and most importantly a great pool where all my kids could stand. Great experience and good kitchen to cook. Out back is a garden (tomatoes, basil, thyme, lemon tree, etc) that we picked and used for our meals. The host was quick and easy to work with.

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.
