My husband and I kicked off our 9 night stay on the spectacular island of Corsica with 4 nights here. We arrived after a long 24 hours of travel from NYC to Paris - Paris to Calvi. The hotel is perched on a mountain top a short 40 minute drive from the airport in Calvi. When we arrived we were exhausted and to our delight we were met with a warm welcome, a quick tour and then shown our absolutely stunning room. We decided on a Luxe room which is part of the main facility and we were not disappointed, the view from our room is something I will never forget, we could even see the full view from our bed!
The room was kept spotless, I spent many relaxing moments in the tub and on the gorgeous patio. The layout of the hotel allows for complete relaxation, and at times you feel like you are the only guest there. The two infinity pools are dreamy we would relax by the pool each afternoon once we got back from exploring beaches and mountain towns in close proximity to the hotel.
We enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning, which fueled us up for the day and two of the four nights we dined at the hotel as well. The most memorable dishes for me were the buffalo burrata, the slow cooked lamb and the lobster ravioli (which were more like dumplings in a fish broth) which were spectacular. The hotel has a full bar with an excellent selection of local wines, the honor bar by the pool was a nice touch and the jacuzzi...that was divine. I appreciated how the hotel made a schedule for the jacuzzi so that you could enjoy the experience alone, you just go to the desk and request an hour of time, super easy.
Thanks to the entire team at Hotel A Piattatella, our experience was amazing and you provided us with a wonderful home base for the first half of our holiday. We wish you continued success and will recommend a stay with you to anyone interested in visiting Corsica in the future. Heather & Paul Brown
