What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 239 guest reviews
The Calafia Inn earns consistently strong sentiment driven by its exceptionally friendly, hospitable staff and notably clean, recently refurbished rooms at a fair price. Minor but recurring drawbacks include intrusive courtyard lighting at night, a floor cleanliness issue in at least one room, and a dated exterior that undersells the interior quality. Overall, guests leave satisfied and many express a clear intention to return.
