We had a great stay in Corsica; the north still feels relatively undiscovered and the hotel was in an excellent location on the outskirts of Saint Florent, within 20 minutes walking distance of the port side restaurants. What we liked about the hotel was the quality, cleanliness, comfort and the quiet and understated ambience. The pool facilities (indoor and outdoor) were excellent and the rooms helped by our large balcony, were comfortable with great views to the sunsets over the Med. The staff were friendly and like the hotel, understated. However, we can't give it a 5 star review as it was lacking in some areas - for example, at 46 Euros for 2, the breakfast was very poor in value; frankly it was mean and so we ended up buying our own in. The hotel didn't have a communal eating area to speak of (you could go to the poolside if you wanted to) and so breakfast was in the room. Nothing wrong with that but it reflected a wider strategy to avoid guest interaction which felt an opportunity missed. The hotel has now created an excellent restaurant next door where the food was very good but there was no lunch served. There was a very limited and expensive menu in the hotel. We also noted things like bottled water weren't provided daily, just the one on arrival Overall, it is a lovely hotel to stay and I wouldn't put you off if you are happy with the price but for whatever reason, they don't have a complete strategy to be a great 5 star experience, in my opinion.
