Le Calette Bay

Text: Le Calette is a vast hotel complex situated on a hill above the sea, about 25 minutes walk from Cefalu. It consists of two parts: Le Calette N5 (which positions itself as a 5 start property - and merits each ray of these five starts largely!) and Le Calette Bay, a 4*, which is right next to it and shares all the facilities (the restaurant, the swimming pool, and, I assume, the beach - which was inaccessible during our stay in late April, as it is too early in the year and it was not open yet). We've spent 2 nights at Le Calette Bay (the 4* part of the property), and we loved it! We had a junior suite with a private terrace featuring a view of the little port and the bay. Although the room layout is somewhat questionable, meaning, the shower is separated from the toilet and washing basins, the room itself was spacious and clean, combining the traditional Sicilian style with cutting-edge facilities, such as a Smart TV where you could find all necessary information, from the room service menu to the messages from the reception. The pearl of the whole complex is the pool, which offers a fantastic view of the port, sunbeds and umbrellas, and a pool bar, where you can access the menu by scanning a QR code and order your drinks. Breakfast was delicious, various and excellent quality. All the staff of the complex, from receptionists to waiters and to massage lady, are smiling and friendly, everyone speaks English, some of the team members speak more languages, so there is no risk of communication gaps. We would like to extend special thanks to Sonia, the barmaid, for her openness, her sincere smile and her professional attitude

The people that worked at Le Calette were so incredibly kind and helpful and were really welcoming, they could not have done enough for their guests. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to visit again!!

Unique

The property looks beautiful, but if you take a deeper look into everything you’ll find that for the price you pay it’s definitely not worth it. Some of the areas are dated. The pool area has a Jacuzzi that is cold, the staff are not super friendly. We had a check in issue. It’s too long to write about, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of common sense happening at this hotel. You would expect if you’re paying over $1000 a night you would at a nice resort. Not feeling that here. The staff at the restaurants are however, unbelievably amazing We thoroughly enjoyed our time at those particular places.

Beautiful Hotel It is a beautiful 5 start hotel or resort. We stayed 2 nights and felt not enough. We should have planned a longer stay to fully feel the place. The view is magnificent . It is located right in the front of ocean. You can step down to swim in the ocean when weather is suitable. The service is excellent and free breakfast included is just nothing you can complain . It is a very high quality hotel.

Incredible stay! Beautiful hotel, amazing spots to relax but the gorgeous pool, or at the reef bar where you could swim in the sea. Perfect location, a short 20 min walk into town. The hotel has its own beach spot too, with a free shuttle. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, just an amazing stay, highly recommend!
