We loved the atmospheric location right on the beach. We are not the sort who spend hours/days on the beach but, for us it was perfect because, as we stayed in March, the beach was empty and peaceful the whole time.
We particularly like walking and nature sights, and for this the location was brilliant. We watched flamingoes andd spoonbills only 8km away at Vendicari and did spectacular gorge walks in Pantilica, Noto Antica, and Cava grande. Also visited wonderful historic towns of Syracuse, Noto and Scicli.
The Calabernado village is very quiet...no shops, 2 pizzerias: one closed out of season, the other very good. Nearest shop we found was about 5 km away.
Francesco is a quiet, very kindly and helpful host.
