For more than fifty years, Le Calette has been interwoven with the story of the Cacciola-Miccichè family.
Santino Cacciola, an engineer with an uncommon blend of technical vision and creative insight, transformed this stretch of coastline into a haven of wellbeing, welcoming the first guests in 1969.
His daughter Francesca, together with her husband Angelo Miccichè – a distinguished architect and owner of another hotel in Cefalù – carried this legacy forward, guiding Le Calette to become one of the finest expressions of Sicilian hospitality.
Since 2019, the third generation has joined the family leadership with Gaia, their youngest daughter, who returned after years abroad to contribute to the evolution of the family business, a place that has always felt like home to her.

AT THE RHYTHM OF THE BAY
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
Over the years, Le Calette has taken shape as a love letter to the surrounding landscape.
It unfolds along the bay, following its rhythm and allowing nature – always the true protagonist – to sculpt its forms, its light, and its quiet spaces.
It is the perfect place for those who, on holiday, wish to blend culture and art, relaxation and the sea, in an immersive experience of Sicilian sensuality. Every space owes its refinement and natural harmony to Angelo’s attentive eye, to the way it has been delicately placed within the balance of his architecture, and to Francesca’s care, infused into every detail with the love she has given and received at Le Calette since childhood.
OUR IDENTITY
philosophy
While welcoming the new without ever losing sight of its roots, Le Calette today embodies a discreet and deeply Sicilian idea of luxury. Every choice – from materials to forms, from light to fragrance, from flavours to experiences – arises from a continuous dialogue with the territory, its history, and its generous nature. Refined with an artisanal care that blends elegance and warmth, Le Calette offers a style of hospitality shaped by natural rhythms, attention to detail, and the central role of the surrounding scenery. Here, wellbeing is expressed through simplicity, respect for tradition, and the flavours and culinary treasures of this sparkling land, celebrated each day with care and dedication.
