Spent all of one night but perhaps one of our best sleeps given the comfortable bed. Nothing fancy about this hotel but that’s a strong point. The breakfast and dinner were both very good. The photos on the website don’t do justice; this is quite an attractive property in a cute little town.

A gem of a hotel in Cap Corse
This hotel is lovely and elegant and just perfect. We had dinner in their courtyard with love music playing. They offer access to many activities in the area. There was a small outdoor market in the town that we walked to. The swimming pool is also beautiful.

Castel Brando
Great property with restaurant and spa services. The location is in the small town of Brando, so if looking for a quiet place about 10 minutes north of Bastia this is it. While it has its own restaurant, a few small ones a short walk away are also available. Great breakfast. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Gorgeous hotel - the comfiest bed I slept in in Corsica. More than I'd usually pay for a hotel as I'm usually a bit of a budget traveller but it was well worth it.

Very well kept and serviced hotel. Quiet, relaxed but close enough to Bastia for more energetic pursuits. Local village had plenty of reasonable restaurants but in late September they were clearly operating at a reduced level with unexciting fish and various items not in stock. Boulangerie across the road was excellent with long opening hours.
