Use a deck that will be a walk out right from your house, and has steps to get to the rest of your backyard.

You could get part of your backyard leveled to make room for a deck. You could also build the patio into the side of the hill to help level it.

I would recommend splitting the area with one or more retaining walls which can be used to flatten the area and thereby making a good portion usable. You could add in some usable paths and add some plantation too. That will make the area look colorful and make for a good patio.

You will have to level an area by setting some brick/stone in place making a low wall. Then filling that area with soil. From there use some large stones set in concrete (buy the forms from a big box outfit)to make a patio level enough for a chairs and a table.

Decks are always a great idea for sloping yards. You can find many do-it-yourself books at the library for free. Another idea would be to use railroad ties to create tiers.
