Hôtel Cala di Sole

The location of the property provides some beautiful views, and likely in high season is a busy place. The decor is quite modern. We stayed just at the beginning of low season so there was no longer a full restaurant and the hotel was quite empty. And, the free WIFI was virtually nonexistent. If you did manage to connect, it would continually drop, and then you could not reconnect. In today’s day and age, providing WIFI should not be that difficult.

This is a tricky review. The location is perfect with beautiful views. The swimming pool is lovely. There is a nice beach. The breakfast was good. It was very clean and the air con worked very well. The staff are friendly. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and the food there was very good and averagely priced. However our room was very tired, There was a tiny separate toilet and a bathroom which was adequate & clean was in need of refurbishment. The room was big and realistically if you had arrived there maybe 30 years ago you would have thought you were in heaven but not now. It was a bit scuffed and well worn. Maybe we were just unlucky as we peeped next door into rooms 9 & 10 and they had been updated so if you go ask for one of these rooms. It is a shame because we enjoyed the stay. You can catch the bus into Ajaccio outside the hotel for just 3 euros (Better than trying to park). Going the other way you are near the Isles Sanguinaires with good walks and beautiful views.

We only stayed here for one night but wished we had booked more. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was beautiful. With a great little terrace overlooking the sea. The hotel has a lovely pool, it’s own beach and a very decent restaurant. I couldn’t fault it, we’d definitely stay again if we visit Corsica.

We loved the hotel’s location - walking distance to some nice beaches and restaurants, and only a 20 minute bus drive into Ajaccio centre. The pool was nice as were the bar and communal areas. The rooms are basic, but you only sleep there. One thing that wasn’t great is you have to pay for the sunloungers on the beach and beach towels, quite common practice but not highlighted when you book. So bear this in mind. We were disappointed to be offered ironing at the hotel reception as they don’t provide irons in any of the rooms. They didn’t mention a charge for this and then charged us €5 per item. Just another thing to bear in mind, so maybe take a travel iron. I think this should have been a free service since most hotels offer an Iron. They didn’t inform of us this charge until we got our bill.

This is an amazing hotel with an even better view! I highly recommend.

Nice hôtel close to tbe beach. Very Nice location.

Really great stay! Hotel was really comfortable and staff really very nice. Access to Ajaccio not a problem at all bus 1 Euro approx every 30 mins last one just after midnights. Quite a few nice restaurants in walking distance. Rooms would have really benefitted from a fridge and or kettle/coffee facility. Great view and aspect right onto the sea fab!

Great place, our room had nice sea view. Good breakfast, but you need to go on the right time, because they ran out quickly of omelette and bacon :)) We had one problem with the air con leaking (I mean leaking: around 1 l water per day leaked from it, and during the night it was disturbing to listen to the falling water drops) if you set the temp below 25. They were not able to provide a solution for that nor repair it in spite of repeated promises. There is no lunch or dinner served in the hotel. The nearby beach restaurant is pricier than other restaurants in the neighborhood. Don't miss visiting other beaches. There are a few more secluded ones not very far in the direction opposite from Ajaccio. You will definitely need a care to move around. Even with a car it takes a lot of time to get around the island as there are no motorways. So plan to only visit the neighboring beaches as it would take a lot of time to reach the others. Don't miss Cupabia, the Petit Capo and Grand Capo beaches. Overall good, Corsica is beautiful and this hotel is a good place to get around from.

John, the night manager was very nice. He made me something to eat the night I checked in after 11pm when nothing was available anywhere else. He had very interesting stories. Ask him about "Just Ask for John". Carl and the rest of the staff were very nice and accomodating. Most of the staff also spoke English, a plus for me. The balcony at the room was spacouis and the view to die for, less than 100 feet to the waves. My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer.

Génial 👍 Personnel extra On mange très bien, le cadre exceptionnel... tout y es parfait
