Le Calette

About Le Calette

While completing a project near the fishing village of Cefalù in the late 1960s, a Sicilian engineer fell in love with the green hills of the island’s rugged northern shore. He bought a piece of land to build his dream house, and half a century later, it’s still in the family — now in the form of a charming boutique hotel, Le Calette, run by his daughter, her husband and their daughter. The name refers to the wildly beautiful setting overlooking the coastline's craggy coves, and the architecture follows the landscape’s lines, with whitewashed Mediterranean villas curving around the cliffs and winding paths leading down to secluded beaches. Rooms are calm and bright, their minimalist interiors enlivened by artisan-made textiles and locally produced art. Some open onto private gardens with Jacuzzis, and suites feature spacious furnished terraces with dramatic views over the bay. Fragrant citrus trees and cheerful bougainvillea frame the hotel’s pool deck and open-air restaurants, and, from June to September, a complimentary shuttle whisks guests away to Le Calette’s private beach on the seafront of Cefalù.
