The Hotel Kalaonda derives from the skilful and careful renovation of a set of late 19th century buildings, once for rural use, intended for housing landowners and farmers. The restoration of the building units, preserving their original characteristics in the most absolute way, took place in 2009 and since then the hotel has been operational every year and is still in business today.
The hotel is designed as a small rural village, with a narrow central road axis, which stands out in the flat countryside, with a succession of pitched roofs and openings, many of which are framed by ancient stone exhibits. The owner's will, conditioned by the emotions of life lived in that context, wanted to bring back what remained of the original buildings, converting them into an elegant 4-star hotel.
The Kalaonda Hotel has a total of 18 rooms of which: 7 standard rooms, 8 superior rooms, 2 rooms for the disabled, 1 suite. Each room has a bathroom with shower and / or bathtub, hairdryer, courtesy set, air conditioning, minibar, LCD TV and telephone.

The hotel is located 550 meters as the crow flies from the sea in the Plemmirio reserve. This Marine Protected Area is spread over a perimeter of 14.35 km of coastline along the eastern part of the Maddalena Peninsula, with an area of 2,429 hectares of protected sea. The territory is of great importance from the point of view of flora and fauna, but also from a historical point of view. Crossroads for the passage of ships and ships of Carthaginians, Romans and Greeks, the Plemmirio area hosts various amphora hills and finds from various eras, including those of the last world war.
The hotel is located in the south of Syracuse, from which it is 9.5 km away. It is placed in the main road that connects the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area with the most important connecting arteries south of Syracuse. At 600 meters from the property is the Tonnara di Terrauzza, near which you can access a small beach. The area around the structure is mainly dominated by land intended for cultivation and by small villages of seaside houses.
The asset is 13 km from the highway that connects Syracuse to Catania. The port area of the city of Syracuse is only 15 minutes away by car, while Catania Airport is about 72 km from the hotel. The Comiso Airport, on the other hand, is located at a distance of between 90 and 110 km.
