LOCATION
A place that tells the story of true Sicily
A baglio between two nature reserves
Cala dell’Arena sits within a 19th-century baglio from 1850, carefully restored to preserve its original identity. The stone staircases, original fountains, and handmade majolica tiles speak of Sicilian tradition; the Mediterranean gardens and sea views tell the story of the surrounding nature. Here you’ll find the perfect balance between historic authenticity and modern comfort.
