Hotel La Villa, Calvi

We stayed at La Villa Calvi for one week. The staff were extremely thoughtful and kind. We loved sitting out at the pools and the our room was very large and comfortable. The hotel is very close to the town (about a 15 minute walk). The staff for breakfast are very outgoing and treat you like family. They always know your name and are very welcoming. We felt very taken care of. The breakfast was great and the views from the tables at breakfast are breathtaking. We also enjoyed cocktails at the same tables. In terms of improvement, it was a bit off putting the extra charges for a shuttle to town (22 euros/day for a two or three minute ride and 60-75 euros per class). The hotel is quite expensive and these charges seem unnecessary. However, we definitely would stay here again and very much loved Calvi more than anywhere else in Corsica.

We spent 2 weeks in Corsica and this was our favorite stay. We should have stayed longer to enjoy the area. Reception is warm and welcoming. The room was luxurious and quite spacious for a junior suite. The concierge is phenomenal. Their restaurant and activity recommendations are extremely thorough. They helped us arrange a local wine tour (again highly recommend). A special thank you to the team for assisting a taxi driver in Paris who found one of our bags at Orly airport. Their swift communication and willingness to coordinate with the driver saved me from what could have been a stressful situation. I was amazed by how effortlessly they handled it, showing their commitment to excellent customer service. Beyond that, the hotel itself was immaculate. Views are great. As mentioned the rooms were spacious, nicely designed, had great amenities, and well-maintained. Photos on website are accurate (at least for our room). Balcony was large. Photo is the view of the port from our room.

Nice location. Bedrooms with small windows and limited sea view. Staff not always professional, particularly for breakfast and dinner. Not a great R&C experience.

Supremely overpriced for what they offer and the location. There’s no beach. The gym is a joke with no bench and nothing but a couple of treadmills. The breakfast has mostly only cereal and some cold meats. Eggs, pancakes and anything you want hot has to be bought!! There was no milk/creamer in the room to make coffe. I asked for some and was charged $9 for it 🤨 Dinner is perhaps the worst thing about the restaurant. Below average food at Michelin prices. €50 for a plate of vegetables with 3 small carrots and a bunch of bitter radishes. Horrible service too, the waitress kept pushing us to order more even we said we don’t want anything else. The wait staff is mostly all teenagers so the service is spotty. The experienced wait staff is grouchy but the youngsters are sweet even though they understand much English. We went to the other Relais Chateaux for dinner one night and found the service and the food there much, much better. Do not recommend this hotel all if you are from the US and value good service.

This was the most wonderful hotel on our trip to Corsica. Everything was perfect. The view from breakfast was the best view of our entire vacation.
