Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a great location, just a short walk from the beach and various restaurants. I enjoyed the stunning views of the harbor and mountains from my room, but I did notice some issues with disrepair in the room itself. The staff were outstanding, especially the bar man and the room cleaner who were both very friendly. The dining experience, however, left much to be desired, especially the breakfast options. Overall, the value for money was decent, but there were areas that could use improvement.
The hotel has a fantastic location right in the heart of Calvi, making it easy to explore the best local spots. The rooms were clean, but the view left much to be desired, facing an old abandoned building instead of the picturesque surroundings. The service was friendly overall, but I did encounter a bit of a dismissive attitude from the staff at times. Dining was overpriced and lacked variety, which was disappointing for the cost of my stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city, with plenty of dining options nearby. My room had a lovely sea view and a small balcony, but it was a bit noisy from the live music at the pub next door, and there was a drainage issue in the shower. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who were very accommodating. Dining, however, left much to be desired, especially the breakfast. Overall, it has its highs and lows, but the prime location and staff really stood out.
I found the hotel to be in a perfect location, right in the heart of Calvi and close to the beach. While the rooms had a quirky charm with their bizarre decor, they really could use a makeover. The staff was mostly friendly and helpful, but some aspects of the service left a bit to be desired. The dining experience was a letdown, as the breakfast was pricey and not up to par. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but it has room for improvement.
The hotel has a prime location right in the heart of the old village, making it super convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and well-decorated, especially those with unique views, though not all rooms are ideal. Service from the staff is friendly and helpful, but I wish there were more dining options for breakfast considering the price. Overall, a comfortable stay, but a few areas need improvement.
