The village of Sant’Ambrogio

Just 7 km from Cefalù, immersed in the Madonie Park, stands the hidden village of Sant’Ambrogio, a small hamlet of Cefalù that represents one of the most fascinating views of the area.

Sant’Ambrogio is a very ancient place, whose roots go back to the Middle Ages, and it takes its name from Saint Ambrogio, bishop of Milan. In the center of the village is the Church of Sant’Ambrogio, characterized by a simple but charming style, which represents the spiritual and cultural center of the country.

Sant’Ambrogio is a small rural village that seems to have stopped in time, characterized by alleys and stone houses that make the atmosphere evocative and inviting, as if it were all to be discovered. Not by chance, visiting Sant’Ambrogio is like immersing yourself in a bygone era and relive the customs of yesteryear.

The village is also famous for the Feast of Sant’Ambrogio, which is celebrated every year on 7 December in honor of the patron saint. During this day religious processions, music, traditional dances are organized, all accompanied by stands with typical products – a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture. The village also offers the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful view, both on the sea of Cefalù and towards the mountains of the Madonie Park.

But Sant’Ambrogio is, above all, tradition: here you can try the typical local dishes such as hand-prepared cavatelli, salami and local cheeses and of course we do not forget the typical desserts, cassatelle, pies and sweet ricotta.

So, what are you waiting for? Sant’Ambrogio is the ideal place for those seeking peace, tranquility and a direct contact with the culture and nature of Sicily.
