In the hotel’s own words

For more than fifty years Le Calette has accompanied the history of the last generations of the Cacciola family. Santino, engineer, who has combined a technical view with his own creative intuition to generate an oasis of well-being. Francesca, Santino’s daughter, together with her husband Angelo Miccichè, esteemed architect, has taken on the commitment of leading Le Calette to stand out among the finest in Sicilian hospitality. The third generation has arrived with Gaia, the youngest daughter of the couple, who, after years of studying and working around the world, has chosen to contribute to the management of the family business which had always been home to her.

Le Calette developed over the years as a tangible metaphor of harmony and beauty, following the natural conformation of the bay that hosts it. The ideal place for those who want to combine culture and art, relax and the seaside when on vacation, on a totalizing experience of Sicilian sensuality. Every single element would not be of such beauty and harmony if they had not been designed by the attentive eye of Angelo, the architect, and would not have their distinguished Mediterranean soul if they had not been furnished and organized by Francesca, who has given (and received) love at Le Calette, since her childhood.

Without hesitation when putting the old aside to give life to the new, the hotel today unobtrusively represents a way of experiencing Sicilian luxury. Decorated with the charm of wise refinement, harmoniously immersed in the nature of the bay, it offers every comfort and proposes the many delicacies of the products and cuisine of this sparkling land.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Small Luxury Hotels – withIN always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $50-100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
