La Villa Calvi

Wow, wow, wow! The view from room 12 of the citadel of Calvi took our breath away! The hotel is situated on a hill with an amazing view of the town and is definitely worth of a Relais & Chateau designation. First class all the way. The rooms were very spacious and nice, awesome amenities and turndown service. The pool had comfy chaises and nice sun covers. The hotel has art exhibitions and art enthusiasts would probably appreciate that. There's the Villa Plage (beach) club that we were driven to (about 7 minutes by car). Hotel gave us a beautiful bag with towels and made a reservation. Front row, nice club and excellent food. Beach is sandy and beautiful. Wished we had stayed more than 2 nights, but it was very memorable.

Exceptionally beautiful and staff were very welcoming and helpful.

The facility is adequate but the let form is some of the employees attitude . There is an elderly gentleman at breakfast that is quite abrupt and does not give you a welcoming feeling . The breakfast passes the bar and it is nothing special . Also we used the hotel shuttle and it is very unreliable . We were told pick up in 10-15 mn and it’s now 55 mn and still waiting . We called the desk and were told they did not know where to pick us up , when in fact it is where we were dropped off . We feel ignored and will not come back here

We only stayed one night and wished we had more. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite with two lovely balcony areas to enjoy some sun! The bed was very very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent (food and service) and just generally it was such a tranquil spot.

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.

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of the one night stay we had in Calvi at this hotel. The restaurant is superb and the hotel perfect with views and a beautiful pool and spa just near to the main Calvi village and Marina yet quietly situated above.
