Sant’Ambrogio Cefalù: a charming Sicilian village

Suspended between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the lush Sicilian countryside, Sant’Ambrogio is a small, charming hamlet that is part of the municipality of Cefalù.

Although the village counts only about 300 inhabitants, its streets tend to repopulate during the summer season, when visitors from all over the world come here attracted by its picturesque atmosphere and wide beaches. What makes it so popular is precisely its setting: it is an hidden oasis of tranquillity between Cefalù and Finale di Pollina, nestled in the green Madonie Park and enveloped by the sound of the sea waves. It is in the beautiful setting of Sant’Ambrogio Cefalù that the Emerald Hotel Resort is located.

 

Nature and history

In addition to the beautiful beaches and tranquillity of the village, Sant’Ambrogio is a privileged gateway to the Madonie Park, a preserved natural area offering breathtaking trekking routes and beautiful landscapes. The proximity to the park makes this area ideal for nature lovers, who can explore woods, mountains and medieval villages.

The village streets also tell a centuries-old story of fishing and farming traditions. A visit to Sant’Ambrogio must include a taste of its typical dishes, prepared with the freshest local ingredients and accompanied by local wines reflecting the area’s abundance.

 

A sensory journey in Sant’Ambrogio Cefalù

It is precisely the crystal-clear sea, together with the cobbled streets and the welcoming residents, that play the main role in a video clip that describes the beauty of this marvellous region.

Inspired by a poem by Salvatore Pirajno, a narratign voice accompanies the viewer in the discovery of an extraordinary place that, although it is a short distance from the centre of Cefalù, is sheltered from the chaos of bigger cities. A place where living is sweet and slow and where it is still possible to fully immerse oneself in local flavours and customs.
