My stay at Calanica was truly enjoyable, set in a peaceful bay with stunning views. The bungalows are clean and comfortable, making them feel like a home away from home. While the service was excellent and the dining options were good, I wish there were more choices available. The location allows for serene moments viewing beautiful sunsets, but it is a good walk to Cefalu town, which might challenge some. Overall, a delightful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
