Vue superbe depuis la chambre et la salle/terrasse du petit déjeuner. Petit déjeuner très bon et de qualité avec un personnel très agréable et extrêmement souriant (mention spéciale pour le serveur) un peu de diversité serait encouragé car ce sont les mêmes produits tous les jours. Chambre très spacieuse. Petit bemol:ménage négligé le dernier jour... Pas de papier toilette, traces dans les toilettes... Literie un peu dure Mais lieu fantastique !

Room 121 they gave me is the worst one ever. You get hit in the face by the most pungent sewage odour as soon as you open the door. Even the AC was useless in driving it away. I had to leave open the veranda door, which was unsafe because it being on the ground floor. To pay more than 600 euros for two nights only to be given such a disgusting room is irresponsible. They know about this problem, but they choose to give out the room because they only care about making money. It’s entirely a deception. Besides, you get this feeling of being a cheap hotel that has lost its quality. No bottled water. No pressing iron, no dressing table, which as a woman is hyper compulsory for me. The bathroom was left in a deplorable condition. Only goodness knows who cleaned up after you. There are better hotels in Ajaccio, but they were all fully booked. I will never come here again, and I don’t recommend them. Please, go elsewhere. Try Radisson Blu or Best Western Residence; both are near the airport.

Superbe nuit !!

A l'occasion de notre anniversaire de mariage, nous avons choisi cet hôtel et nous ne l'avons pas regretté! L'accueil a été parfait et très chaleureux. La chambre était spacieuse et la vue sur les sanguinaires magnifiques. Nous avons pu bien profiter de la grande piscine chauffée. Enfin, nous nous sommes régalés au restaurant pour le dîner avec des plats recherchés et pour le petit déjeuner qui proposait tout ce que l'on peut espérer d'un buffet d'exception (jus d'orange pressé, pancakes, saumon, brioche, salade de fruits frais,....). Merci pour ce court mais fabuleux séjour !

La "Dolce Vita" en couple assurée

Séjour d'une semaine en chambre Double Deluxe vue mer et accès jardin en juillet 2020. C'était tout simplement FANTASTIQUE :-), nos petits chiens très bien accueillis autant que nous. Malgré les mesures strictes à respecter contre le COVID, le personnel fait tout pour rendre le séjour agréable. L'hôtel fait partie des grandes maisons de Corse, ce n'est pas un endroit pour débarquer avec une ribambelle d'enfants sans contrôle, ni pour se lâcher soi-même. C'est idéal en couple et l'endroit demande une certaine tenue pour pleinement être en mode "Dolce Vita". On y retournera si nous en avons encore la chance.

Hôtel qui ne mérite pas ses 4 *. Des travaux doivent assainir une odeur pestilentielle dans les chambres du rez de jardin . Des escaliers partout , pas d'ascenseur ni monte -charge , l'eau froide au robinet est chaude .Chambre demandée avec lits jumeaux : on me propose un grand lit qui ne se sépare pas en deux . Difficultés pour changer de chambre , en me prévenant que je ne pourrai y rester qu'une seule nuit , alors que j'avais réservé deux nuits . Très bonne communication avec les responsables de l'hôtel qui connaissen ces défauts et vont fermer leur hôtel quelque temps pour y remédier . Mais ils n'ont pas pour autant baissé le prix des chambres .Seul point positif : le site et la vue sur les Sanguinaires .

Fantastic little hotel situated on the outskirts of ajaccio. Situated conveniently by the sea, the hotel is located within a very picturesque area, away from the rush of Ajaccio. The hotel restaurant had a great selection of items and the staff made me feel very welcome.

The hotel is way out of town, the taxi was over 55 Euro to get there from the airport. And one more thing, they tried to put me in the worst room, I assume because I was a woman traveling alone....I was moved to a little better room, but nothing special. The hotel staff was rude, and didn't like the fact that I could not speak French and a waiter insulted me when I requested a menu in English. The food at the restaurant was underwhelming but the view was great. The hotel staff did not seen to know what was going on around them. I asked if there would be fireworks and that said absolutely no... they lied. Of the few tours offered by the hotel, none were in English. I would not go back to the hotel and probably Corsica due to this experience.
