The Caldura Bay

At the Eastern side of the "Rocca" - Cefalù's famous mountain - there is one of the prettiest bays of Sicily's Northern coast: "La Caldura" or Calura. The origin of the name is vague, the most likely one is the Greek word "kalòs" (pretty) or "kallos" which means beauty and "oreuo" (shelter, refuge), therefore it means "pretty shelter". It could also have its roots in the Latin term "calidum" which means heat or warmth. Other sources refer to the Arab word "Calhur" which means "shiny eastern beach".

Even if the linguistic origin is uncertain, we are sure that La Caldura is one of the last untouched beautiful patches of nature in all of Sicily. It is a world of its own with giant rock formations, little hidden bays, beaches and, of course, the sea. Right between cactuses, there is an antique tower, one of many along Sicily's coastline. Once used to spread important news all over the island within one hour, it is now a paradise for bird's. Close by there is the Hotel Kalura owned and operated by family Curcio.

However, it is not just the hotel's unique location that you can enjoy from our huge panoramic terrace. It is as well the numerous sport and leisure opportunities (tennis court, swimming pool, table tennis, diving school, canoeing, basket ball, gratis sunshades and deckchairs), the friendly and personal atmosphere, the wide range of delicious Sicilian food and our wine list with more than 80 different red and white wine that will make your stay an unforgettable one.
