La Villa Calvi

Delightful resort nestled on the hill, with spacious rooms/suites, overlooking the Fortress and bay below. The owner has filled the hotel with many art pieces that are intriguing. Bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. Meals in the dining room were exceptional. The breakfast buffet was also exceptional. The spa and pools were welcoming and relaxing.

My wife and I spent 4 nights at La Villa Calvi for our honeymoon. The room was very spacious with a stunning sea/mountain view balcony. The staff, from cleaners to managers, were all excellent and were all polite and friendly. Breakfast was superb, and the food at both restaurants (the beach and the main hotel) we found delicious. True luxury.

This was the most wonderful hotel on our trip to Corsica. Everything was perfect. The view from breakfast was the best view of our entire vacation.

I cannot speak highly enough of the one night stay we had in Calvi at this hotel. ||The restaurant is superb and the hotel perfect with views and a beautiful pool and spa just near to the main Calvi village and Marina yet quietly situated above.

The most beautiful hotel - the view from breakfast was the best viewpoint of our trip in Corsica. Everything was perfect.

We spent a week at La villa Calvi and it was a pure happiness. The staff is super nice and make sure you are getting everything you need. The breakfast is amazing ! We loved every single things of this hotel and will come back !

La Villa is a contradiction , it is a five star hotel but many facets of its service are distinctly lacking . Firstly the positives - excellent location - clean and airy and modern - good spacious bright clean rooms , the house keeping staff are excellent, friendly, enthusiastic and professional - food is good , albeit I have had much better elsewhere. - the young lady running the restaurant was excellent - very professional and friendly. - the drivers were excellent- particularly Euan The disappointments - despite being a resident we were unable to book a table despite being flexible on time - the wine waiter needs retraining !! He pushed for our wine order even though we hadn’t ordered / decided on our food ! He made no attempt to be helpful , he overfilled the glasses , he even wanted to poor a second different wine into the same glasses we were frankly appalled and he argued the point. He was rude and arrogant . - the room service menu for children lacked imagination . It was also Problematic that hot food was not available until after 7.30pm ( the food actually arrived at 8.50 pm). - a meal served to one of our friends had paper in it !! The waitress apologised , but for a 5 star rating I would have expected the owner / manager / chef to come out and apologise- indeed the chef did come out and came over to us but then proceeded to talk to two people on the next table for 15 minutes with his back to us - a opportunity lost! - my wife and my daughter were at the beach but the hotel refused to come and collect them ( having done so 2 days earlier ) - the person was unhelpful , didn’t offer to organise a taxi or make any suggestions This hotel did not live up to its 5 star rating , please improve the consistency of your service level - attention to detail and training are core requirements.

We visited Calvi, some of us coming from Asia, some from Paris, and were looking forward to a dinner at La Villa. Not only was it very difficult to book a table, in spite of the restaurant being half empty when we eventually visited last May, but the experience was very disappointing. No welcome at the hotel entrance, very slow service -a nice lady seemed to be alone dealing with several tables- nothing of what’s expected from a 5 star hotel restaurant at this price. The sommelier was most unpleasant: arrogant, rude, not interested to explain local wines, only focused on filling and re-filling our glasses to the max -spilling wine on the table right from the beginning- even before any bread or other food had been brought to the table. I wonder if the experience can even get worse during high season when the hotel is busier. It’s a shame to offer such a poor experience at this price in a beautiful location.
