This was the third time we have stayed at this wonderful hotel. However, I would like to start with a warning: if you are looking for a typical beach hotel, you could be disappointed. The Cala di Volpe is something special in many ways and not just a 5-star hotel on the beach. Originally built as a private guest house, it has retained a very special, almost family-like charm that is very rare to find in a hotel anywhere in the world. But it doesn't feel like a classic holiday either. Every day you feel as if you are part of a big opera show. It's like going to La Fenice opera house in Venice knowing that La Traviata was once premiered here. You have to get to grips with the history of this house to enjoy it: who has been here, the architecture, that a James Bond film was shot here. The way it is embedded in nature, its own little harbour, where guests arrive to eat at the hotel or to be seen... It is a very unique experience that you should experience at least once in your life. The other points are quickly explained: The rooms are top notch and have recently been renovated, food is exquisit, there is a great kids club, water sports activities, etc. And there is a dress code for dinner, which I really appreciate!
