LOCATION

A place that tells the story of true Sicily

Sicilian Moor’s head

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.

Mediterranean gardens

Forty hectares of palm trees, bougainvillea and bird of paradise plants surround the baglio in a mosaic of colors and fragrances. Every space is maintained using sustainable methods, allowing the vegetation to grow freely and create ideal shaded corners for relaxation.

Ecosystem protected

The estate borders the Zingaro and Monte Cofano nature reserves, and careful management protects biodiversity, encouraging the presence of native plants and small animals that inhabit the gardens.

Historic architecture

Built in 1850 as a summer residence, the baglio preserves its local stone walls, terracotta floors and original staircases. The internal arches frame the courtyards and allow Mediterranean light to filter through.

Authentic restoration

Original materials such as exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and hand-decorated majolica tiles coexist with modern comforts, preserving the historic identity without sacrificing contemporary amenities.

Historic fountains and courtyards

The internal courtyards, paved with original stone slabs, are animated by stone fountains that evoke the ancient use of water. These spaces, created for community life, add aesthetic value and invite conviviality.

Cudowne miejsce, rozciÄ gnięte na ogromnym obszarze byłej rezydencji szlacheckiej. Niezwykle miły właściciel jest tam prawie codziennie, a "pańskie oko konia tuczy". Pokoje sa pięknie umiejscowione, grupowane w domkach po kilka pokoi, każdy z nich zapewnia dużÄ dozę prywatności. Wszędzie pełno jest doskonale zaplanowanej i utrzymanej zieleni, obiekt tonie w palmach, figach i starych oliwkach a wszędzie słychać cykady. Cały obiekt tworzy atmosferę dyskretnej elegancji - nie jest to na pewno najtańsze miejsce, ale nie ma w nim sztucznego blichtru jak w innych miejscach, z drinkami za 20 euro. I też taka klientela się tam na szczęście podczas naszego pobytu nie pojawiała. Byliśmy tydzień w sierpniu i oczywisice było trochę rodzin z dziećmi bo to szczyt urlopów we Wloszech - wokół basenu sÄ jednak zaciszne miejsca gdzie można się oddalić od hałasu dzieci. Myślę że w innych porach roku jest tam po prostu spokój. Klienci to byli głównie Włosi. W barze można zamówić drinki czy kanapki, ale jest to dyskretne miejsce a wieczorem nie sÄ podawane kolacje - natomiast w pokojach sÄ kuchnie co stwarza znacznie większÄ samodzielność. Z basenu widac morze i robiÄ ce wrażenie klify zawi szone powyzej, a na plażę można dojśc ale znacznie lepiej podjechać samochodem 5km na świetnÄ plażę Isulidda
