Calvi holiday lettings

Family of four adults staying at this superb property. Immaculately clean and well maintained. Views over the valley are spectacular. Pool was great and the living room aircon was welcome on the odd day although the house is pleasantly cool anyway. Great time had by all.

I don't really want to share this place with many people. Only those who will enjoy the peace and quiet with amazing views. Would certainly return.

One of the nicest villa we have ever stayed at, beautifully furnished, exceedingly well equipped, very clean. Everything you could want in a villa. The only slight negative was that there were a few properties still being built around the villa, so there was a little noise on a couple of occasions, but this did not spoil our stay. There are a few places to eat in the village, which were nice, a good Spar supermarket and a great boulangerie. A great place to stay and explore the north west coast of Corsica.

A memorable stay, fifty years after our first visit to Calvi. Jean-Jacques is a very accommodating host and made our visit more personal and special. The apartment felt like being at home. It was extremely well equipped, particularly with kitchen equipment, which made self- catering so much easier. Eating out was just as pleasurable, with many good restaurants within easy reach. The lovely beach was just five minutes away and a very well stocked supermarket ten minutes away. ( There was even a shopping trolley to bring back heavy items ). The complex was very peaceful and the pool was just two minutes from the front door. Our only problems went with the territory, as there were quite a few mosquitoes around, which seemed to avoid the sprays etc. and we were there during a hot spell of weather, which meant the nights were very sticky despite having ceiling and free-standing fans. Despite this, we had an excellent holiday and would certainly return there, if there weren't so many other places we'd still like to visit, while we can.

The apartment is on the third floor with lift access. It has a balcony with fantastic views of the sea to one side and the mountains to another. It is light and airy, spotlessly clean and well equipped - including washing machine, microwave and dishwasher. The sofa is comfortable, as is the bed (firm mattress). There are doors onto the small balcony terrace from both the bedroom and living room. This is not at all a complaint - but the only possible improvements would be the addition of a hairdryer and a couple of hooks to hang towels on in the bathroom (although there is a small towel rail). We also couldn't get wifi to work, but weren't sure if that was our error! The apartment is easy to find (with google maps) and has prominent signage. It's just outside the main part of the town - in easy walking distance (along a purpose built path with steps). It's part of a complex of several buildings with gated access. There's allocated parking for the apartment (within the gated complex). Just outside the complex are a few local businesses - so parking there is difficult (when you arrive and want to park whilst you wait for Francois to meet you). Francois was prompt in arriving, flexible about our arrival arrangements and very welcoming. He suggested a couple of places for us to visit - including recommending we drove along the coastal road back to Ajaccio (for our return flight) - rather than inland. We followed his advice and had an amazing return trip with stunning scenery. We also really appreciated him meeting us at the apartment complex - rather than his previously suggested location of the post office (as we arrived in L'ile Rousse and drove straight to the apartment rather than going into the town). We'd definitely recommend this apartment.
