Calvi hotellia

Plussat: It was near perfect

Miinukset: The menu could have been a little more elaborate for a hotel of this standing

Miinukset: absolutely nothing

Plussat: The food at the hotel restaurant was good but hugely overpriced and the staff was terrible (almost hostile: they laughed if you asked where your eggs were, they would not allow you to sit where you wanted, they judged your selection from the buffet) during breakfast and dinner

Miinukset: In the room - the mattress was extremely hard and the pillows very uncomfortable The hotel was cold and the staff was truly truly awful - it felt like you were at their mercy and they just couldn‘t be bothered to help with anything. Very kurt and rude. The location of the hotel was also bad - very out of the was and the view that was so promised in the hotel description was nothing much

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, clean and spacious rooms.

Miinukset: Horrible spa service (especially the hairdresser, she took 1 hour to shampoo my hair and 1 hour to do very average brushing, through which she pulled half my hair out, and the final result was very ugly and unprofessional) Food service is almost never available in this hotel. Their available timings are so odd and so strict, we never managed to have one normal bite there. The staff is so not enthusiastic to serve, it was as if whatever we were asking for was for free. The experience is not advisable to anyone; it is not a friendly environment.

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful with many different amenities on offer, including several pools, a petanque court, tennis (rackets and balls complementary), a nice gym and much more. The service is very high quality and the team is happy to make recommendations or reservations for you. The rooms were perfectly cleaned the minute we left and there was a nightly turn-down service that was a nice touch. The restaurant on-site is very good - though expensive - and the included breakfast was amazing. There is also easy access to hiking paths - including the Maria de la Serra chapel which is about a 30-40 minute along the road and then onto trails from the hotel.

Miinukset: The hotel shuttle costs 18 EUR per day for unlimited rides, but this is more cost-effective than cabs which seemed to be about 15 EUR one way from the center of town! As mentioned above, the on-site restaurant/bars are fairly expensive, but that is to be expected of a hotel of this calibre.

Plussat: Very friendly and easy going staff ready to provide us with any assistance we anted. Well done

Plussat: Very kind and helpful staff, we have received a lot of useful information from the receprionist lady about where to go and what to discover near Calvi. The breakfast was also very pleasant. The hotel is situated in the centre, walking distance from the restaurants, bars and also from the Beach.

Miinukset: The parking place was a bit far from the hotel (350m).

Plussat: The location was very convenient, right by the port in Calvi and the beach.

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: Good size room with nice balcony overlooking the road. Good PowerPoints. Handy position. Lift. Luggage storage. Nice people. Very good bed.

Plussat: Nice small hotel very central in Calvi with walking distance to harbour, citadell and also the beach. Very friendly and helpful personell. Parking included in a secured lot at a neighbouring hotel.

Plussat: All staff extremely friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing Calvi

Plussat: Clean. Good sized room for Europe. Handy (but Calvi is pretty small..). Staff were very friendly and helpful indeed.

Plussat: Very good location on the main street. Hotel has parking lot may be 400 m away, free of charge. Nice room with balcony. Strong internet, very pleasant service.

Miinukset: The rooms would need some small renovations - lamp was blinking in the wardrobe etc. Not brand new, still ok.

Plussat: Everything was great . People of course, our apartment, bedding and amenities wonderful

Miinukset: Old televisions. A little disappointed with gastronomic ddinner

Plussat: Very elegant, stylish hotel and staff very friendly and speak good English. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing except price

Plussat: Beautiful pool area and very clean little 2 bed cottage we stayed in. Main reception guy was helpful, happy and polite as was the two main breakfast staff.

Miinukset: Seemed to be more interested in being a destination restaurant rather than a hotel. Communal areas weren't cleared quickly and apart from the staff above no friendly greetings particularly around the place. A lot of wasps around the breakfast table and not a brilliant breakfast offering anyway. No one to ask for drinks at the pool - always going in search of staff. Brought things to the attention of the owner - not much joy!

Plussat: A first rate hotel and experience - plus outstanding food. I really appreciated that a Michelin starred restaurant highlighted very affordable and excellent Corsican wines over the higher priced French (though also excellent) wines. Lastly, the cheese course is a must have.

Miinukset: Too expensive. Very poor restaurant service for a Michelin star. Moody staff. Excellent housekeeping though.

Plussat: The general style of the property is nice and the breakfast was OK. We liked that they took the effort to let us know about dinner reservation before we arrived.

Miinukset: They need to have more staff who can speak English. It was a struggle sometimes to explain what we are asking for. The living area can benefit from more comfy sofas. While we liked that they wanted the villa to look old but this should not be on the account of comfort. It was almost impossible to set the shower to the right temperature due to the the two separate taps! We had a colony of ants in the living area which crawled up our feet and legs each time we sat in the poorly lightened living area. They did nothing about it.

Plussat: The location was not in the centre of Calvi, but it was okay as it was just a few minute walk from the port and shops and restaurants. Staff on reception were pleasant and happy to offer help when needed.

Miinukset: This building is beautiful from the outside, but inside the decor is dated, not in keeping with the style of the building, and to be honest, quite ugly. Despite leaving the do not disturb sign on my door, and asking reception for no one to clean it, someone still came in every day to clean and change all my towels - such a waste of time for a short stay and not environmentally friendly at all. And there was a sign in the bathroom saying the hotel wants to be more eco-friendly! Beds were not particularly comfortable and the pillows were lumpy.

Plussat: Great location, private secure parking and the reception staff are very helpful

Miinukset: Was quite expensive especially it doesn’t include breakfast

Plussat: Convenient location Great breakfast served in room at half price Balcony with view of citadel and bay

Miinukset: Ordinary double bed

Plussat: Excellent secure parking in a garage. A good sized room with a comfortable bed. Had tea and coffee making facilities which was a bonus. The hotel is central.

Miinukset: Not much I didn't like, except the room and bathroom was looking a bit tired.

Plussat: Old style, classic, free garage parking, very good breakfast in room.

Miinukset: No restaurant

Plussat: Erittäin viehättävä vanha luostarihotelli. Majoituimme isommassa huoneessa, jossa oli kaksi ranskalaista parveketta pariovilla ja näkymät vuorille. Iso kph kulma-ammeella. Erittäin hyvä buffetaamiainen. 5 minuutin kävely Calvin "keskustaan".

Miinukset: Ei mitään moitittavaa.

Plussat: Nice breakfast buffet. Luxurios rooms. N7ce atmosphere.

Miinukset: Cold lightning. Bad smell in bathroom after shower.

Plussat: Nice atmosphere and staff. Lovely grounds. Accessible and secure free parking.

Plussat: Characterful and well appointed rooms

Miinukset: Expensive breakfast

Plussat: Good beach location, but long walk at night to the marina/citadel area where most restaurants are located

Plussat: In town and near the beach

Miinukset: Needs a bit of an update , looks a bit tired. Very expensive for what it is but all of Calvi same

Plussat: I can highly recommend this hotel without any exceptions. The design and the furniture is modern and appealing! What I liked was the spacious room and the extra cabinet for the clothes. We had one of the bigger balconies that was quite comfortable and clean with a great view onto the beautiful ocean. The cleaning - and the reception staff are extraordinary gentle, patient and helpful. Additional safe and minibar were nice features, too! The breakfast, we had only once, was fine according to price and options. Great plus are the numerous, free of charge parking spots right in front of the hotel. The hotel is just 10 minutes far away from the Airport of Calvi, though you are not disturbed by aircraft noise.

Miinukset: We had a room for the first night that had clearly visible, unsigthly spots due to a water damage. When I complained about that issue the next morning we immediately were rebooked to another room at the upper level of the hotel.

Plussat: Upgraded to s suite. Large comfortable bed. Good shower Excellent access to beach

Miinukset: Slightly out of town

Plussat: its position. close to sea and to the town

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: We stayed 3 nights and we liked it very much. The room is clean, spacious, our room had a wonderful ocean view, minuten away from the beach and sea. The only thing we missed were hooks in the bathroom to hang the towels on

Plussat: Excellent location walking distance from a beach with a stunning view on Calvi citadelle. Spacious rooms, very clean and quiet

Miinukset: “Double bed” means 2 separate beds side by side! It was impossible to use the internal phone

Plussat: Great access to the beach. Hotel rooms are very clean. Would stay there again. Great location.

Plussat: Spacious room with a very nice view of the harbour and the citadel. Friendly staff. Excellent location: very close to the city center. Nice swimming pool. Cleanliness.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location is great, very close to the beach and an easy walk into town. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Your buses stay at the hotel so it was a bit loud early morning when they were leaving.

Plussat: Location, facilties and staff

Miinukset: The beds were sometimes made but i believe sherts not changed as could feel sand etc still

Plussat: Great views and location staff good

Miinukset: Bedroom a bit well used carpet and decor a bit tired

Plussat: Breakfast very good selections.

Miinukset: The personnel could have been friendlier - a few more welcoming smiles.

Plussat: Well equipped accommodation. Very clean and resort very quiet. Perfect for couples and families. Easy to find. The resort has a beautiful beach and great pool. Big supermarket near by but the site supermarket is well equipped and has the best toasty chicken ever!!

Plussat: Location to Calvi, beach, supermarket and the accommodation was brilliant. We stayed in the Scandola cabin.

Miinukset: Would have liked a small gym but not really an issue.

Plussat: We stayed here for four nights this september. It was the first stop on our trip around corsica. We stayed in one of the mobile houses. It was simple but very clean. The kitchen is fully equiped (microwave, water heater,toaster,...). We could not ask for anything more. The camp in general is also very clean and the staff is very friendly. There is also a little shop in the camp with all the esentials. The location is great, five minutes to the beach and 20 to Calvi on foot. The price is a little bit higher but we think the camp is worth the money. We definitely recommend this place.

Plussat: Superb location by the beaches of Calvi. Walking distance to the beach were 3 minutes, and to Calvi centre 20 minutes. The pool was small, but ok with the fun slopes.

Miinukset: We lived close to the bar, which was a bit noisy in the night.

Plussat: Camping "La Pineede" - perfect place. It's situated in a eucaliptus forest, not far from the sand beach (100m.) and from Calvi (25 min. by foot). We lived in the house of type "Agreat-95". In fact, it's a trailer removed from wheels. Its square is about 15 sq.m. All facilities are included: separate bedroom with double bed, kitchen corner, fridge, shower, wc, hot water, Internet (worked very well). All necessary utensils are present. In front of the house you have a private parking for your car. There are small supermarket, pizzeria, pool on the territory. There is also a big supermarket Casino in 500m. From this camping you can easily reach by car the following interesting places: Calvi, L'Île-Rousse, beaches Algajola and Badri, beautiful mountain villages (St.Antonino, Corbara etc.). Besides, excursion to the sea reserve Scandola is available.

Miinukset: Can't imagine

Plussat: Camp was well organized and clean, near beutiful beach and about 15 minutes walk to the city center

Miinukset: Our house was for two people and it was sourounded with a lot of other same houses so there was no privacy

Plussat: Walking distance from the beach.

Miinukset: Room cleaner doesn’t come everyday and there was no kitchen in our room. There was only a fridge and microwave.

Plussat: Fridge in room was a big bonus. Coffee machine as well. Nice welcome pack.

Plussat: Nice apartment, well stocked, good situation near a supermarket and small walk to the centre or beach

Miinukset: Not really their fault but there were a lot of mosquitoes, remember to bring insect repellant and something for the room!

Plussat: The apartment was clean and tidy. A bonus for us was the small pool which was great to have a dip after a hot day walking. Great location for walking into Calvi, about 5 minutes. The apartment was very quiet. Also lots of parking if you have a hire car.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Location, swimming pool, large balcony

Miinukset: No fly screens so we couldn't sleep with the window open. Many mosquitoes had been squished on the walls. We also had to make our own bed on arrival with the sheets provided by the hotel.

Plussat: The property was very nice, comfortable and in a great location. The apartment had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the patio area in the garden. Most enjoyable was the pool which was kept in pristine condition. The host, Valerie was a very kind hearted lady who went out of her way to allow us early check in and ensure we were comfortable with our three kids. We highly recommend Casa Veccia as a home away from home!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect but!

Plussat: Great location, near to the beach and supermarket. Have nice swimming pool.

Miinukset: Bad sheets were not in place. We were putting them inside the cocers by ourself.

Plussat: A decent property in walking distance to the old center of Calvi and at 5 minutes walk to the beach. A big supermarket at 2 minutes away. Parking places inside the property, in the garden. The swimming pool looks good and clean. Some partial views to the mountains around, in fact you see the pool and the big trees in the garden. The apartments have big terraces.

Miinukset: Just to have more/ better glasses/ plates/ forks&knives in kitchen

Plussat: We had a spacious room with a huge balcony where we could enjoy our meals and the lovely mountain view. The room was well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee machine. Nice pool and garden, big parking lot and quiet area very close to a big supermarket and 5 min walking distance to old town. The receptionist was nice and gave us tips about Cavi, but she and the rest of the staff only spoke French, so it was not so easy to communicate.

Miinukset: There was no cutlery and no plates in the room, only drinking glasses and cups. During our four night stay, our room was never cleaned. It was not a big problem but it would have been nice to have the room cleaned at least once during our stay. But maybe it was because we couldn't really communicate with the staff and they didn't want to disturb us when we stayed in the room until lunch time.

Plussat: Very well located, free parking, swimming pool & comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Very noisy wc extractor when switching on the lights. The room includes a coffee machine and a set of mugs and glasses which were dirty. You are requested to throw your rubbish before leaving. Reception staff not available: only 30min for checkout and we had to wait 20 min for the checkin.

Plussat: This was a really nice hotel, staff were delightful, room was large, clean, comfy and tasteful with balcony view to the sea and mountains- really lovely rooftop pool. It was an enjoyable stay!

Miinukset: It’s located uphill so the walk back was hard work but was easier as the week progressed !

Plussat: Excellent location, good room, good views, good breakfast

Plussat: pool was very nice, rooftop area very exclusive with a nice view. Rooms were clean and the beds comfy.

Miinukset: pool closed during the day for construction. showerhead was loose so you had to hold it.

Plussat: The pool was an added bonus and made the hotel feel more luxurious than its 3* rating.

Plussat: Lovely hotel Amazing swimming pool on the roof with spectacular views Very friendly helpful staff Lovely room

Miinukset: Only had 3 nights there 3 weeks would have been about right

Plussat: I really quite liked this hotel, it was very comfortable, room quite nice, excellent breakfast and spacious clean reception/bar/dining area. There is a pool which I didn’t make use of. Location also short walk from centre. Would definitely use again on future visit

Miinukset: shower over bath not ideal for me. Also my room was at front at street level and so inside visible from outside - doesn’t affect upper level rooms though

Plussat: The Mariana was the best accomodation that we stayed in on our visit to Corsica and exceeded our expectation in terms of comfort, facilities and the quality of the buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: The only disappointment was that we were encouraged to use the pool & spa, but when we went up there it was in darkness with everything turned off, except one jet of the jacuzzi, which was a little deflating.

Plussat: The rooftop with the pool and the view was fantastic! The check in was easy and we were allowed to use the pool before our room was ready.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the bed was not so comfortable (below the beds heed were some kind of plastic cover) and no shower curtains (there were only a bathtub and the whole bath was wet after a shower)

Plussat: A well positioned hotel in Calvi within walking distance of everything. It has an excellent pool and sundeck for relaxing.

Miinukset: The jacuzzi didn't work.

Plussat: Good location amazing pool Sauna and hammam Very close to many lovely bars and restaurants in the harbour area

Miinukset: the Plastic undersheet on bed (could smell plastic) Noisy doors tea or coffee making facilities would be good Might help to let guests know that Only cash is taken in pool bar?

Plussat: Care and attention to detail. Very pleasant staff. Perfect location.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Location was good, about a 10 min walk to the old town. Parking was also very good, behind the hotel. Loved the pool..especially as it was very hot. Rooms OK, not very large but satisfactory. Everything was spotless.

Miinukset: Need to move the room keys to behind the counter at reception, to easy for someone to sneak in and grab a key!

Plussat: Had a great stay. It was a bit of a walk to the city center but the view from the hotel was just stunning. The chef was very friendly. The room was decent size, very clean and modern looking. We spent evening watching the sunset which was beautiful. The breakfast for 10 euro was quite a lot for one person. Overall recommend the place.

Plussat: Fantastic location on the bay, with glorious sunsets. Lovely swimming pool and outside area.

Plussat: Kaikki meni hyvin. Olisin vain toivinut bussikuljetuksia.

Miinukset: Aamiainen

Plussat: Cozy rooms, good bed, good pillows. Coffee/tea kettle at rooms.

Miinukset: Strong detergent odour on corridors.

Plussat: We’ll definitely come back again! Thanks for everything. Very helpful and kind property.

Plussat: Heated pool, lovely staff, great recommendations for local restaurants.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been better.

Plussat: Convenient location for the town centre (10 mins. walk). Good, value for money, breakfast.

Miinukset: No coffee/tea making facilities in room. No parasols by the pool. Very small room for the price paid.

Plussat: Comfy hotel with style located in center of town. Excellent breakfast.

Plussat: Beautiful house, relaxed atmosphere. Nice garden for breakfast.

Miinukset: Room could have been a bit more spacious.

Plussat: Location...soundproof

Miinukset: Concaving bed ...mattress

Plussat: I loved my room. It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The bathroom shone - it looked brand new - and was very well set up. I felt very welcome, and was allowed to access my room at midday after a brilliant train journey to Calvi. The location is perfect for train travellers, about 5 minutes from the station and 5 minutes from the main tourist areas. I was disappointed that Le Magnolia Restaurant wasn’t open during my off-season visit, but the area abounds in good places to eat. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

Plussat: The location is in the old town, perfectly situated to reach the port and the city citadel. The staff was very kind. We also had dinner in the restaurant and it was really tasty!

Miinukset: The breakfast was served until 10.30 and it would be really nice if it was a bit longer. I am aware 10.30 is industry standard though.

Plussat: Great location in central Calvi, near the main car park and just behind the marina/port. The restaurant was especially good.

Miinukset: Smallish bedroom with aged facilities.

Plussat: Pool, room, atmosphere

Plussat: It was not as expensive as places in town. It was clean with a nice big pool and plenty of sun beds. There was ample parking and only a short drive to the beach. You need a car for all nearby out of town restaurants but we found a couple of nice ones (preferred in town however).

Miinukset: The family room for three was small. We were there 6 nights which was too long. It was difficult to dry towels from pool or shower and swim gear at the end of the day with no room to hang. There was a small window so it was relatively dark. Basically fine as a place to sleep but didn’t want to be in it for more than necessary. The bathroom had no shower curtain so everything got wet when using. There was no on site cafe or restaurant after breakfast and no ‘in room’ mini fridge or tea making facilities even. I think taking a self catering option in this hotel would be the best option knowing that, as otherwise you feel compelled to leave the hotel for the day because of that problem. The pool side bar only opens late afternoon. We went each day to the beach. We planned to spend one morning at the pool one day but in spite of the fact there was no one else there, we were told (in quite a heavy handed way) ‘no inflatables in the pool’ re my daughters very small blow up body board (about half her height aged 10). We felt addressed like very naughty children and she had not yet even taken it in! We decided not to hang about.The owners are not rude but I would just say frosty -not friendly (commented on in many French reviews here). We arrived and it was pretty much ‘here’s the key, your room is up stairs’. No help with bags, no niceties, no ‘how was you journey’. This is a small hotel with no lift. Normally in such places the staff try to create a friendly welcoming atmosphere but here we felt we were creating an imposition and were being tolerated. Normally I am not much fussed about small talk but the cool manor of the 3 staff members gave me the sense of being in a hostile environment. The result was we spent as little time in the place as possible and perhaps that’s the intention.

Plussat: Great location if you want out of town peace. Good pool and parking. Close to Casa Maio great restaurant.

Plussat: Breakfast was great. However there was no dinner which might have been my own mistake when booking but they dont do dinner service. And closest shop was 10 min away. Where i did find all the things i need. just not convenient.

Miinukset: Dinner service could of been offered.

Plussat: The breakfast was plentiful and varied. The location of the pool offered great views of the sea. The staff was friendly.

Plussat: Awesome location. 5minutes walk from the citadelle. Awesome breakfast on terrace, view on seaside. Swimming pool is nice with a view on the citadelle.

Miinukset: Way overpriced, bit of a joke for what it is... Take a room with sea view otherwise not worth it. Staff is okay, management guy a bit dodgy

Plussat: Beautiful views from balcony of citadel. Ask for room on first floor with citadel view

Miinukset: No decent sized bar and on indoor lounge area

Plussat: Fantastic room , great views and good amenities, service was great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Maybe owner or boss constantly sitting in reception

Plussat: Breakfast more than adequate. Able to sit outside to eat. Staff good with english, and accomodating.

Miinukset: A fan came on early in the morning.

Plussat: The location opposite the Calvi citadel is exceptional. The recently renovated room had a terrasse with direct access to the pool and a stunning view onto the sea right below. Climb down the rocks and have a swim in the sea right below the hotel. Breakfast is being served outside just above the rocks and the sea. The city of Calvi and the port are just 3 minutes walk away from the hotel. It can't get any better!

Miinukset: The number of available parking spaces are limited. Make sure to reserve your parking place ahead of arrival. Nothing much else to complain about.
