Boutique Hotel Torre di Cala Piccola

I have stayed at Hotel Torre di Cala Piccola twice now, and both stays have been exceptional. Our most recent visit was with a large group, just a few days before my wedding, and it was exactly the relaxing experience we hoped for.||The staff truly went above and beyond to accommodate our every need, from dining to transportation to activities. One evening we had a dinner reservation in town but couldn’t find a taxi, so they personally drove us themselves. Another night, when one of our guests wasn’t feeling well, they delivered an off-menu soup directly to her room. We also put the staff to the test when our breakfast, lunch, and dinner tables constantly shifted from four people to ten, then to seventeen. They handled everything with professionalism, grace, and warmth.||Beyond the service, the resort itself is absolutely gorgeous. From the main terrace, you have more than a 180-degree view of the sea. Rain or shine, it is breathtaking. The rooms are set on different terraced levels along the hillside, many offering beautiful panoramic views. The rooms are simple but thoughtfully appointed, with everything you need. The beds are clean, crisp, and very comfortable.||The swimming area is at the bottom of the hill, and if you ask at reception, they are happy to take you down and back by golf cart. There is no traditional beach; instead, sunbeds are set on rock terraces above the water, with steps leading directly into the sea. You will not find a cleaner or calmer place to swim. Because it sits in a small cove, there is very little wind or disturbance from passing boats.||I hope to return again soon, and in the meantime, I highly recommend Hotel Torre di Cala Piccola to anyone considering it.

Excellent stay and trip!! We enjoyed everything about staying there from the views, to the staff, to the cocktails, pool, beach and everything in between. We really feel like this was a place we could really rejuvenate and reset… and we surely did! We opted out of renting a car so we depended on finding local drivers and other options to get us around which we were able to figure out! It’s a special place atop a mountain, tucked away, perfect for a getaway.

We went for our honey weekend. The location is stunning, staff is really helpful and friendly, but not overwhelming. The room had a great view (I mean mountains & the sea). When I booked, I was looking for something romantic and exclusive and this place had it all!

Very disappointing. Room and eating score very low.||Our room #21 was poor. The bathroom was so small you had to put your right knee under the basin to sit on it; it was poorly lit especially in the shower cubicle; the water pressure in the shower was dire.||Then there was virtually no hanging space for clothes due to the safe being moved upward from its designated area. Why? The telephone did not work - but was quite quickly rectified. The sitting area was weird due to steel frames being loose around the seats such that they crashed on the wall and gave no support. The aircon looked like a later addition and blew across the room so the right hand side of the bed was cooler than the other.||Noise. They cannot be blamed for guests who move furniture at night, but there are no carpets and twice we were woken by the people above. Doors crashed all the time given their weight and echoed down the stone passage way. Add to that the staff area opposite the #21 door where staff change to go home at midnight and arrive at six thirty next morning and sleep quality was poor. A dire room allocation for the only guests who stayed a week while we were there.||Eating. Breakfast was ok but this is a very pricey offering and the quality of ingredients from bread to cheeses was average. But the two big issues were that they ran out of breakfast tea on day 1 of our seven, saying it was coming in. It never did. End of season? We bought our own. The waiters work hard but getting coffee is so slow. No machine. All orders individually fulfilled. On our last day the fruit bowl which had been good had just two apples in it!||Dinner. Do not stay long. Read their menu online first. There are just 4 starters followed by 4 pastas and 6 mains. The dishes of the day repeat too often. The tuna croquet came twice, the spaghetti vongole 3 times, the octopus 3 times. Most guests and I think 5* reviews must be for 3 or less nights. The place is remote and a night drive quite a challenge but in Porto San Stefano there are great restaurants at least 60% less costly and far better menus.||The dinner set up was dire. You arrive to find most of the inside windows open and tables on the terrace, but the temperature is 15 and falling to 13 by 22.00 and the wind is blowing. Why you pay their prices to eat their not very exciting food outside beats me. But we did not have 4 layers to wear like some who came in puffer jacket and boots to brave it. Shortly after our week we both became ill with chills that we fought to avoid ruining our next week in Lazio. The after effects still linger. Autumn months pack woollens! Again just two wait staff, sommelier and manager. At least one staff short.||The local area is nice. But, there is no “beach”. It is a nice sheltered bay highly developed, with deckchairs not loungers, that are crammed on shelves like terraces that have been constructed to face south. You swim from ladders. It feels claustrophobic. The same to a much lesser extent applies to the pool area. When full you are in serried ranks! Flies are an issue at least in September - bring a spray. They cannot help it but perched on such a lovely spot with that view there is no land that could be used to space people and their conversations out. ||I thought the staff were very good 5* but a week costing over €4,500.00 was very poor value looking back at so many excellent weeks in this great country where we spent around the same money. This was planned as unwind week. You can see how it felt!!

Our experience at Torre di Cala Picola was excellent. The staff, especially Stefania, were very welcoming and gracious. Our dinner at the hotel restaurant was superb with attentive service. We enjoyed a nice walk down to the cove.

My girlfriend and I had such a lovely and romantic stay. We were treated exceptionally well by the kind staff. Especially Stefania! What a kind soul. They even made special arrangements for when we had to leave early and missed breakfast.

We loved this boutique hotel which is perched at the edge of the island with magnificant veiws of the water. When you are there, you feel like you have escaped into a place of paradise. Everything was 5 star from the service to the food to the drinks. I would come back!

Everything was perfect. The scenic view from every inch of the hotel snd room, the food, and the hospitality and specialized service shown to each guest is all five star! Amanda and the entire team are truly next level in terms of specialized care and service.

We only ate at the restaurant, we were staying at an air b&b up the hill. The patio is is lovely, service is amazing, the food is very good. The beach area is fantastic, and yes the ride to get yo this area is crazy!

Pretty gorgeous place! The rooms are very reasonable and the views spectacular ! Bar is fine but they don't have appetizers.. Sadly they are missing the boat on that one! The road is one helluva ride! But well worth the journey!

We were staying at the hotel. Since you are on the mountain above Porto Santo Stefano, you are almost captive at night since the drive down can be scary. We had pasta one night and pork belly another. Both were excellent. So was the wine. We paid 90 Euros with wine. A little steep, but better than a treacherous drive down and back up at night.
