In an enviable location just outside the town of Cefalù and surrounded by colourful gardens, elegant Hotel le Calette No.5 is a family-run boutique hotel aimed at those in search of a relaxed ambiance and peace and quiet. The hotel enjoys a splendid view of crystalline sea, stunning sea stacks and the Presidiana tourist harbour towered over by the Rocca, Cefalù's renowned promontory. The hotel offers attentive service, stylishly chic interiors adorned with local artists' work, and guest rooms and suites decorated in a modern Mediterranean style.
