Room size - could have been a bit bigger for family with young kids who do often need to spend more time in rooms.

We had the most amazing time. Perfect property offering all that we needed. The private beach and restaurants were standouts!

Amazing resort tucked away from busy Cefalù but within walking distance. Has its own private beach which is a great bonus. Great for people wanting a quiet and relaxing holiday.

We unfortunately stayed only for one night.

The hotel complex is located in a naturally magnificent place on a mountain slope. Our family was really lucky to stay in bungalows with a wonderful sea view. From the moment you arrive the staff will do everything to make you want to come back here as soon as possible. The hotel offers a rich breakfast selection on the terrace of the restaurant with an amazing view, where all the staff are very caring and cheerful (Matteo, who served us, was the "icing on the cake":)). The hotel is a bit far from the center of Cefalu, but since we had a car, we got there in a few minutes. If we had had more time, we would have happily walked. Unfortunately, this time we only stayed for one night, but fortunately we still had some time to enjoy also the hotel's sun terrace and swim in both the sea and the saltwater pool.

It was all perfect

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The view is incredible. The property is unreal. Highly, highly recommend - the photos don’t do it justice. Loved the villa style room and balcony overlooking the beautiful ocean, loved the breakfast (the amazing Matteo, Illaria and the whole team looked after us everyday and were so friendly), the sun lounger areas were stunning and comfortable, the sand beach felt totally private - such amazing ocean swimming in a clear, gorgeous ocean, dinner was fantastic in the restaurant, the whole team were fantastic. A great winery and pizzeria close by. Walkable to Cefalù town but much a much nicer and quieter place to stay.

We had a brilliant time at Calanica. The resort is located in the most beautiful hillside location with great access to a small private beach and spectacular views over the coastline with a stunning sunset. The bungalows have everything you need and are kept spotlessly clean by the brilliant staff. The breakfast was fantastic, we enjoyed a plentiful and wide range of foods both sweet and savoury, slightly changing daily allowing us to try different Sicilian foods. The drinks were great, as was our pizza we enjoyed by the beach, which were all so easy to order from the beachfront. From the hotel, it’s about a half hour walk into Cefalù town down the hill via a lovely seafront path, so not too far but allows you some separation from the busier areas of town. This is a gem of a resort and I recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in paradise. Thanks so much Domenico, Giancarlo, Matteo, Deano and everybody at Calanica for a great experience on our holiday! Maddy

Outstandingly friendly and attentive staff

Beautiful location outside of Cefalu in a private bay. Super friendly and attentive service, good breakfast. We stayed in a private villa. The only problem we had was the soft mattress of our bed combined with a hard pillow - we forgot to ask for an alternative.

What a gem. We very much enjoyed the cute bungalow with an amazing view. We relaxed at the lounge area listening to the waves breaking at the rocks, how perfectly zen. Enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant and very impressed with the service all together. They just opened for the season but all was in order right away. A bit of a hike but if you are up for it, use the pathway directly to Cefalu, a good 20 minute walk (one way).

The place was really clean and the personnel was helpful and nice. The private beach and bar was tidy and nice. We enjoyed staying here and the bungalow was peaceful. The distance to Cefalu city was more than 2 km. We recommend this place when going to Cefalu.

We arrived late at night not knowing what to expect but we we woke up and saw our view...unbelievable! We wandered down for breakfast and were greeted by their amazing staff. We could not believe our good fortune at stumbling on to this magical place. The rooms were SO well designed, the views were out of this world, the staff (especially Matteo...(the Johnny Depp of Sicily)and the whole resort were designed for providing their customers with the very BEST experience. Book it!! You will not regret it!!

The views and location.

Stayed in September 2024

The only negative was the steepness of the climb to get up to reception or to the pool. It's probably a good thing to burn off all the extra food we were eating, but I can imagine if you're not very mobile this would be a challenge. It also allows all the bungalows to have fantastic views as they each have their own cliff side spot.

The view from our room was incredible, the staff were wonderful and always helpful. The food quality at the restaurant was excellent and had a number of great options within walking distance too. The beach was perfect and had some great spots for snorkeling, kayaking and rock jumping. The pool was always sparsely populated as most were at the beach, so the kids were able to play in a giant pool mostly to themselves. A shout out to Nino at the restaurant and Elisa at the beach who made us very welcome.

The location is incredible. The bungalows have everything a hotel room has but with your own private terrace.
