Sehr schöne Bungalows mit Traumblick aufs Meer . Das Personal ist unglaublich aufmerksam und freundlich . Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne länger geblieben
Es ist alles perfekt , man muss halt etwas Treppensteigen , aber dafür bekommt einen super Ausblick

The staff is amazing! Everyone was cheerful & showed they care about their guests, from check-in, to housekeeping to restaurant staff to check out. The wait staff was very personable & pretty funny as well. You could tell they really enjoy each other & what they do.
No coffee in bungalow. No drink service at the beach.

Great location in stunning coastal scenery with Cefalu only 25 minutes away via a pleasant walk along the seafront. The staff were absolutely brilliant - Giancarlo in reception was kindness personified while the restaurant staff were an absolute hoot, especially Nino, Alessio and Mario
Nothing!

Excellent staff and service! They provided service before we had even asked for it. The hotel also had very good gluten-free options for breakfast. The view and location was breathtaking.

The hotel is outstanding and the location is amazing, the bungalows are gorgeous, very clean, modern, well prepared with an amazing view! It is way better than on the pictures!!! You wake up by listening to the waves of the sea!! It is fantastic and relaxing! Domenico and Giancarlo at the reception were super kind and welcoming! thank you!! and the other colleagues were very kind, funny and helpful also. The breakfast is great, several choices, the beach is excetional! we will return here at some point for sure! Great experience in Sicily!

location is breathtaking. Perfect sunset views, crystal clear ocean water, well maintained property overall. Cefalu is a surprisingly nice little town nearby. 10 mins by car. Food at the property restaurant is amazing, chefs know their craft. At least another 3 restaurants with amazing food and wine in walking distance. Supermarket also in walking distance. Staff very friendly. Room cleaned properly every day
A couple of infrastructure issues during our stay: wifi doesn’t work well, basically non-functional 50% of the time we tried. The safety box in our room didn’t work. Called reception to get it repaired, still didn’t work. Reception of TV is poor. Water in shower stopped working once. They fixed it quickly though after calling reception. Vending machine at pool didn’t work.

The beach is beautiful. It’s nice to be slightly out of Cefalu, luckily we had a car so we could drive in and out. The breakfast is great. The huts are really nice and the bed is comfortable. We had a sea view room which is magical!
The lunch menu wasn’t very varied, the pool area is a little run down, getting into the sea can be a little difficult due to the rocks, I wonder if a path could be cleared to make it easier to get in and out.

Beautiful setting with view of the sea and sunset, great private beach.Breakfast was good and staff was nice.
The interior of the bungalow was a bit outdated and there was quite humidity by the bed.
8.0
Great location with great employees! The accommodation is clean and practical
The tennis court is not owned by the hotel. The hotel arranges the court at a rate of eur 15 an hour and they provide tennis balls and rackets. Unfortunately the rackets and balls are badly worn, not worthy of this location. Another point of improvement is that there is no pizza available for diner (lunch it is) or a children portion of the items on the menu. This makes dining with children a little bit more complicated and a waste of food, ordering a grown up dish.
Assuming the hotel is recovering from corona times, a good next investment could be a electric scooter instead of a petrol one ...

Amazing location, exactly like the photos. Great small private beach, fantastic sea view from the bungalows. Good breakfast, not particularly special. Dont expect luxury service or rooms. Expect an amazingly beautiful and quiet stay. We recommend having a car so its easier to go out at night. We had an amazing time and we recommend this to anyone.
9.0
The spot is just amazing. The colour of the water and the views over the bay. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast delicious. A 25 minute walk into town but far enough away that it was so peaceful
Beware, Google maps sent us down a side track to find the hotel. Follow street signs instead!

Astonishing view and superb resort with a great and dedicated staff ready with every request we had - we felt like at home with a very special treatment. We couldn't be more happier with our stay and we strongly recommend it to everyone!! We will certainly come back here!
A big and special thank you to Matteo and Salvatore, for their courtesy and laugh! This is the true Sicilian hospitality!!! 10+

This is by far the best resort in Cefalù. Alessandro the receptionist was so friendly and incredibly professional. He went the extra mile to make us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble for him. The food at the restaurant was amazing. Last but not least, the views from this place are stunning: its tranquillity, away from the masses but close enough to walk to the lungomare, makes it the perfect spot to spend your holiday in Cefalù.

The view is spectacular
Very very Kind staff
The room was ready before check in time, very clean
The location is good, quiet area, mind that the city center can be reached on foot or by taxi, approx. 12 eur
The restaurant could be slightly better but it was ok !

We loved the place - it's absolutely gorgeous!
Very comfortable room, super friendly staff, excellent breakfast, quiet and enjoyable setting, very good food even a la carte for lunch. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back and would stay again. It's. like living in a fairytale!
2 things to be aware of:
this place is not for older people because you constantly have to go up and down because of the property landscape, we were there with 2 kids, so for us it wasn't a problem, but I wouldn't be able to Brin g my parents there.
The other issue is related - there is a private beach and when you enter the sea you first have to walk on stones (they are not sharing, but they are slippery, so holding balance isn't easy) before you reach sand. I think it would greatly benefit the property if they create an entrance path into the sea where you don't have to walk on random stones risking to fall. Again, my parents would stand no chance to swim there because of that.
Other than that the property is truly amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cefalu, much more fun and relaxing to stay at Calanica than in the actual town.

Location is amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bungalow rooms are roomy for a small family, but do not offer much privacy.
Restaurant was good, not great, and a little pricey. Rock beach is difficult to walk on.
