The swimming pool was superb and due to the time of year we were often the only ones in it. Room was spotless and we had fresh towels and water every day. The weather was amazing which always helps! Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a very nice stay but very expensive but availability at the time was very low in Bastia.… All the staff were helpful and friendly and spoke reasonable English compared to my dismal French. There’s a pizza restaurant just a 10 minute walk from the hotel but not a lot else. The outside areas are well kept and the separate restaurant near the pool is a great place to relax with access to the stony beach below. However it’s certainly not worth €19 and if I had a car I’d have driven somewhere else for it. Though the breakfast itself wasn’t anything special (but the coffee is excellent) the setting is amazing if you opt to sit on the balcony. House keeping did a good job cleaning but often didn’t replace the complimentary bottled water. The blackout shutters are perfect and didn’t let a single ray of light in - important for an east facing room (all rooms are). Of course there’s air conditioning but I often woke up during the night too hot. The bathroom was modern and clean with a bath/shower, separate toilet. There’s a mini bar, coffee making facility, power points by the bedside, a safe and ample storage. The room itself was spacious enough with accompanying private balcony. I had a room on the third floor with a fantastic east facing sea view so experienced amazing undisturbed sun rises. It’s a 4 star hotel with the associated high prices. Great location in terms of privacy and closeness to the albeit rocky beach and about a 20min walk to the centre. Taxi from the airport is between €50 - €75 depending on time of day. I stayed here 6 nights whilst working in Bastia.
