Really good Culinary Experience

The dining at Cala Luna was a highlight of our stay! The dishes were delicious and locally sourced, especially loved the caprese salad and the breakfast buffet which was abundant with fresh local fruits. Every meal felt like a special occasion!

Kid-Friendly Environment

Cala Luna is a fantastic choice for families! My daughter loved the resident cats, Cala and Luna, and the staff were so accommodating. The horse riding excursion we booked was a perfect family activity, enhancing our overall experience.
