What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great host and even better hotel! I went during low season and i got a nice room upgrade. The sea view rooms are worth the extra cash, trust me. Unbelievable view from the room! The host also let me part my motorcycle in his storage room. Very kind of him as it s not really a parking place but it made me feel much more at peace. Great host and great facilities! I’ll come back for sure!!”
“We were in Corsica for 1 week with a group of 12 people. It was organised by a touring operator. By far the best 3* hotel we had during the whole trip. Very modern hotel, nice room, very clean, a good working airco, a very good bed. Everything you need for a good night sleep.”
“This was a very pleasent experience. We stayed two nights and we all wish that we could extend the stay. Located next to the sea, offers nice sunrise mornings, and it is a 10 meter walk from the hotel to the old shopping streets. Wonderful staff, very friendly and helpful. It really seems that they love having guests, and that is a feeling we don't always get in France (and even in Corsica). Our favorite staff was Serine, a most wonderful warm person who welcomed us upon checkin, and made sure that we had everything we needed, throughout our stay.”
