  "The perfect start to our honeymoon!"
  "Ten minutes from Calvi airport, with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a free "honeymoon' upgrade to a 'Privilege' sea-facing room, Chez Charles ticks all the boxes. Starting with the room, which is low-key attractive (wall-mounted TV, decent bathroom, high-end toiletries) and the view, which is ..."full-on glorious. On the left, from the large balcony, snow-topped mountains behind the village of Lumio, across the still-green plain towards the Bay of Calvi and the sea. Very grateful for the upgrade, as the mountain side doesn't compare. The service, from the owner Joseph Fondacci down, is quietly professional and comes, I think, from the standards set by the restaurant. We booked from the UK but were probably too buzzing from the wedding and flight to fully appreciate the €69 'Menu Fraicheur'. It's proper fine dining and goes up to €95 tasting menu. The massive benefit staying where there's such a top-quality restaurant is that the breakfasts are spectacular. Don't be fooled by 'c... " More >

  "Great view from the rooms"
  "Stayed for our honeymoon and were upgraded to a spacious room upon arrival. Amazing view of the bay and encircling mountains from the sit-out balcony. The bed was big and comfortable. Housekeeping was good, the rooms were clean. good quality toiletries. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The pool was lovely and has a sit out area as well which was very nice. There is also parking at the back of the hotel if the parking spaces outside are full. Unfortunately, I expected a lot more from the Michelin starred restaurant. Ambiance, presentation and service was top notch.

  "A bit far, but worth the stay"
  "We visited Corsica last year (2012) and stayed at the Chez Charles hotel it Lumio. Loved this place so much, the staff was great, the food was incredible and the room was a nice view onto the Calvi marina cost line. The only down side of this hotel was unfortunately, the bar in the hotel. It was alw..."ays empty, no music and our waiter/bar person was cold and unfriendly, seeming like she wanted us to leave. We had one drink (15 euro for one drink) and drank it quickly to head back to our room. The advantage of staying here was definitely the pool and the restaurant, as well as Occi, the old ruins that used the be a small village. The path the see this wonderful place is right behind the hotel and this was a big selling point for us to stay at the hotel. We also had a bit of an issue with the transportation since we visited a lot of places along the cost, such as Calvi, Pigna (up in the mountains) and St Antonino. We didn't really have any choice but to pay for taxi rides wherever we went,... " More >
