Having been let down dramatically just days before our trip to Corsica by another host – our family group of 3 got together to find another villa at short notice with quite low hopes – Wow! – did we fall on our feet!
Auriele responded immediately & kept in touch en -route & her partner Pierre, put himself out to meet us when we were running late after a mix up with the hire car. We were a bit tired & stressed on arrival – it had been a hectic few days – but Pierre showed us around everything – the pictures don’t do it justice. Spotless – so well equipped – a mountain view (with snow!) on one side & the bay and Revellata on the other. Huge terrace & seating area, lovely private pool, comfortable beds .It was about a 30 min stroll to the centre of Calvi – & a slightly longer effort back – but we walked out to various restaurants & bars – & as all of us are in our seventies – felt very smug having that extra G & T. We arranged a Super U supermarket “click & collect” on arrival, before we came, to stock up on heavy supplies – those tonics weigh heavy!! – worked a dream! Calvi is lovely, the “little train” a joy for exploring - & we had some days at the beach, with beds, umbrellas, & lunch – excellent . Food portions everywhere are huge! We ate at U Fanula, La Boheme (lovely terrace over the marina) Café Bel Ombre, & The Ile de Beaute on the port. Everyone was charming, helpful & a smiley “Bonjour “ went a long way .
We definitely recommend this villa and Calvi!
