Hôtel Corsica & Serena Spa ★★★★★

Easily one of the most picturesque locations in Corsica, Calvi is renowned for its pretty white sandy beaches and charming bay. Nothing is better than wandering around the ancient citadel with its cobbled streets and Baroque Cathedral. And, perched up at the heights of Calvi, the five-star Hotel Corsica sits with unsurpassed panoramic views from its magical vantage point.

Expect to be spoilt rotten with your delightfully elegant and comfortable room and private balcony with perfect views of the lush hotel gardens or sparkling Mediterranean Sea vistas. You can even take your inclusive breakfast in your room for those lazy holiday mornings sitting, drinking coffee, and planning your day.

Nestled amongst the palm-lined gardens, you’ll discover the large heated outdoor pool and hot tub or relax in the hotel’s Serena Spa, with its hammam, sauna and ice fountain. Of course, you must take advantage of your spa discount and book a pampering holiday massage – they use an authentic Corsican brand of products with the scent of Fiore di Ficu (Fig Flower) – which sounds rather wonderful.

The hotel is ideally situated to make the most of the local beach and Calvi town, and the hotel's complimentary shuttle service makes it even easier for you. Of course, you'll want to get out and explore the island - prepared to be amazed by incredible views and landscapes around every corner. It is an island for those who love the outdoors; there are plenty of opportunities for swimming, hiking, sailing, kayaking and diving if you wish.

Corsican cuisine is delicious, and the hotel's gourmet restaurant, Les Palmiers in Calvi, serves both traditional cuisine and Mediterranean fare, all served on the pretty terrace. Have a nightcap and relax in the Lounge Bar after dinner and toast to an unforgettable holiday.
