Hotel Le Calette

We had a beautiful stay at Le Calette. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. All of the service was exceptional - hotel staff, housekeeping, restaurant staff. We started each day with the complimentary breakfast and ate 3 dinners on the property. All of the food was excellent. We have 3 pre-teen boys who enjoyed swimming in the reef/cove where the resort is located as well as in the pool. We also spent a day at the hotel's sandy beach in the town of Cefalu.

Le Calette will always remain a memorable stay for us. The resort and grounds are absolutely beautiful! We had a beautiful, spacious and clean room with private courtyard balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel staff is what really stood out -- they truly care about their guests' experience and treated us like royalty; always friendly, ready to assist with anything. The breakfast buffet included with our stay was plentiful with an array of so many delicious options. The pool is absolutely amazing with the most comfortable lounge chairs to relax and the lower deck by the reef club also has beautiful king size loungers right on the sea, so you can climb down a small set of stairs and have a swim! We highly recommend staying here.

There’s truly no better place to disconnect and experience a quintessential Sicilian escape than this charming hotel perched on a cliff in Cefalù. It’s lovingly owned and run by a beautiful family who are present on the property, and it shows—every detail has been thoughtfully considered. We’ve stayed here twice now, and each time has been more special than the last. Breakfast is a magical experience under the open sky, and returning for dinner in the evening is even more unforgettable. The beach club is fantastic, and the service is always impeccable. On one visit, we brought our dog, and although pets aren’t usually allowed, they made a one-time exception for her. It’s just one example of how they go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome. If you’re lucky enough to make it to Cefalù, this is the place to be. Take a kayak and discover the cove!!!

I had an amazing stay at La Calette! The hotel is in a beautiful location with easy access to the sea for swimming, and the views from the restaurant during breakfast and dinner are absolutely stunning. The rooms are simple and clean, and the service is excellent. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing and romantic vacation. The hotel is about an hour and a half drive from Palermo Airport. If you're visiting Palermo, I highly recommend staying at least one night at La Calette — you won’t regret it!

Honestly, Hotel Le Calette hardly needs another review. Its reputation precedes it. The sheer number of international guests, particularly Americans, filling the property speaks volumes about what this Cefalù gem offers. The location? Phenomenal doesn’t quite capture it. With some beaches at your disposal and a convenient shuttle service when required. What truly sets Le Calette apart, however, is the staff. Consistently kind, professional, and spot-on with every request. They understand that luxury is not just about the setting, but about how you are made to feel. Really, what more needs to be said? When a hotel achieves this level of international acclaim while maintaining such high standards, the experience speaks for itself. Le Calette has mastered the art of Sicilian hospitality, and it shows.

We had a lovely (albeit compact) prestige room on level 1. Very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom amenities from Otiga but the bathroom is not 5 star in my opinion with a strange shower and toilet arrangement. Water is replenished daily which is a great little bonus, inc with the turn down service. Hotel facilities are great, with a well stocked gym. The pool is great and serene and quiet. There’s lots of other places to enjoy the beautiful sunshine from too. The reef area is stunning. Breakfast is plentiful and varied, the staff couldn’t do more to make sure we were well fed! Friendly staff all round. It took us about 20/25mins to walk into Cefalu, no issues for us but it’s not for those that don’t enjoy walking. All round fantastic hotel and Cefalu is simply wonderful.

Lovely hotel with a really relaxed atmosphere. Our room was 2nd floor overlooking the pool. Very comfortable and lovely view but the bathroom is not 5 star. Strange arrangement with the shower and toilet. Notwithstanding that the bathroom amenities were a lovely Sicilian brand. Location is 25min walk into town, not for those who struggle with walking but we enjoyed it. The hotel never felt busy and there’s lots of different places to relax and enjoy the weather with great facilities. Staff are super friendly too.

Marked as 5-star, and it is a great hotel, but probably better as a 4-star. The views are great. The hotel grounds are great. The private water access is great. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel guests seemed to be of good quality. Staff was friendly and accommodating. If I have any criticism its that the rooms are in some disrepair and our linens were dirty, even after we asked for a replacement.

This place is a gem in the north part of Sicily. Quiet secluded and beautiful place to go and relax. Our third day and we took the 3 hour drive from Catania to the town of Cefalu where this resort sits. Quick Tip: Next time I will stay the a couple nights at the resort versus doing the day trip. We arrived around 11 and spent the entire afternoon swimming, paddle boarding and soaking up the sun in the lounges while sipping on cocktails and reading. If you're hungry, you can reserve a table at the restaurant and enjoy some fresh quality food all with amazing views as well. We took a nice hour long lunch under the canopy of olive trees and eventually going back to our lounges. If you're not a guest at the hotel, you'll have to reserve a spot for their lounges as there is no beach access without a reservation. At $70 euros it is quite hefty but you're on vacation so why not???? Extra towels will run you $10, Paddle-board rental $10/hour and free parking for day use guests.
