Style & Character

Le Calette consists of three hotels, two of which are four-star and the other five-star. The grandfather of its current owner and manager built the hotel in 1953.

The two-story, whitewashed villa is set in terraced gardens and decorated in a modern Sicilian style with hints of the 1960s. The interior is also comfortable and pleasant. Moreover, the open reception and bar area lead to a fantastic terrace and swimming pool with a view of the sea and the Aeolian Islands.

The owners have also filled the hallways with ceramics from Sicily, as well as paintings and sculptures. The result is a living museum. Harrison Ford is credited with having stayed in the Bay Wing during the filming of Indiana Jones 5 in 2021.

Rooms

There are 32 guest rooms with air conditioning. They all feature terraces. But the ones on the first level have the most stunning sea views. This hotel has a modern and safe decor.

Other nice touches include a beach basket, a coffee and tea tray complete with an electric kettle, and a Nespresso machine.
