We were bike camping in April when the rain hit. Called a few hotels and this was the one that accepted us with bikes and all. The owner pre-warmed the rooms. Received us very nicely. Let us take hot showers in the spacious rooms, dry our clothes, and let us do the check-in after. Awesome service by a very friendly owner.

Excellent staff. This pleasant hotel has a nice room, swimming pool and parking place, and located very near a supermarket.

Friendly staff. Spacious room. I’d visit again. 5 stars.

The best with the hotel is the good staff. Very nice breakfast. Love to come back.

Thai food delicious!

Excellent choice for boaters stopiing in Macinaggio, pleasant owners and good breakfast.

Fantastic staff, excellent location and beautiful breakfast

Absolutely loved it! I hadn't spend that much time in a museum. They displayed several objects, machinery and tools used in the Corsican daily life of the last century. The history of the beautiful Cittadella is well explained and it's accessible only through the museum.

This informative and enjoyable ethnographical museum showcased the life of the Corsican people. The audio-guide in multiple languages was a great addition, enhancing the experience. The comfortable environment, with good air and AC, made it a pleasant visit. The polite and friendly staff further contributed to the positive atmosphere. The ticket price of 5.5 euros per adult was reasonable. The museum also delved into the lives of women on the island, providing valuable educational insights. Included in the ticket was the opportunity to explore the citadel, adding to the overall experience. Overall, it was great and recommended visit. 😊

It is a nice museum founded in old fortress, but there is one problem. All in french, There is a lot to see of old Corsican Life, how they lived centuries ago. And the ticket was only 3€ so that is a plus. From museum you can follow the path to the old castle.

The museum itself may not be quite interesting but it is the way to go to citadel which has magnificent views. Best to take train from Corte railway station. Park your car for free there. Museum will be half price (2.5 euros per person) with train tickets (7.5 euros per person)

I would not go to Corte just for this museum but if you are here for other reasons, the cheap ticket definitely makes it worth a short visit. I found at least three very very interesting items in the museum and a tour of the fortress is rather enjoyable. (5 euro)

Interesting museum. I was hoping for more focus on the history of Corsica but the other exhibitions were interesting as well. Not much in English.

Very fun museum, it shares a lot of the history here in the fortress and also about Corsica it self. It shares info on how they lived. Also nice to go inside to cool down a bit. To get down to the nitty griddy , fun museum to visit.

Good place to get a nice view of the city, sadly all the doors where locked when i was there, so im not sure if it is possible to get a peak inside.

Abandoned place, not looked after almost all. Real shame although it has a potential.

Nice village on the noth coast of Corse

A little disappointment. The streets leading there are really nice and have a great atmosphere, but the citadel itself is quite deserted. No shops, no restaurant, no nothing, just dust and the closed building.

Not that impressed with the whole area. Yeas, there are many tourists and quische bait shops. The citadelle is not renovated and the area has a deserted look.

A good place to spend a pleasant couple of hours walking around the narrow streets and looking at the boats

Lovley place with a big harbour...cafes and resturants.

The best beach on the north coast of Corsica, to my opinion. Not crowded, vast and clean, with small greenish black pebbles, surrounded with green hills. We asked locals about asbestos issues there, and they told us it was all a myth and it was perfectly safe to swim there (also, there were no any warning signs at the beach). There’s a small car park on the north side of the beach with a rugged natural path to the sea (not push chair friendly).

Great beach, one of the most interesting in North. Even though I visited it in August, there were no so many people and it's quite rare if you consider it was the 14th (so the busiest day of the year!). No sand but very small green/dark stones. Please remind you could reach the beach only after 15 min walking and you can't park in the near proximity.. It's not difficult at all but you must consider it. Please also keep in mind there are no facilities there. Overall, the beach it's fantastic and worth the visit

The beach is lovely, but its true beauty reveals itself when seen from the village

The village above is definitely worth a stop for the totally stunning view and to visit the interesting church. But better not sit on the beach or get in the water (it's a long way down anyway), you can see it's clouded with dust from a disused asbestos mine at the northern end.

Awesome beach, unique with its black rock coverage. Some places the decent into the watet can be steep, but no big deal. Attitional bonus that there are rocks far out, så you dont need to worry about dragging sand everywhere. Also, on sunny days the rocks get super hot, highly reccomend shoes you can bathein or that can stand the water.

Great beach with thick dark grey sand/tiny stones. The sea becomes really deep suddenly. It seems like the cost was modified in order to have a human height depth. You need to do a long winding road in order to arrive to the beach.

Beautiful to see. In August is really too hot to go all the way down but the walk seems lovely!

Beautiful gorges with a cool river

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. A walk suitable for adults and children but not to be underestimated. I recommend suitable rackets and shoes. There are two ways to reach Lake Melu, the one on the right is with a via ferrata, decidedly more challenging than the other, but not adequately signposted. (Original) Esperienza bellissima. Passeggiata adatta a grandi e piccini ma non da sottovalutare. Consiglio racchette e scarpe adeguate. Ci sono due vie per raggiungere il lago di melu, quella a destra è con ferrata, decisamente più impegnativa rispetto all'altra, ma non segnalato adeguatamente.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful gorges I have ever had the opportunity to see! The color of the water is incredible! Don't hesitate to move forward a little on the road to find nice places with a little fewer people. Beyond 2km after the campsite nothing special apart from the car park which is the starting point for visiting the lakes. (Original) Les plus belles gorges que j'ai jamais eu l'occasion de voir ! La couleur de l'eau est incroyable ! Il ne faut pas hésiter à avancer un peu sur la route pour trouver des coins sympas avec un peu moins de monde Au delà de 2km après le camping rien de particuliers à part le parking qui est le point de départ pour la visite des lacs.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place, as if frozen by time. Absolutely worth discovering. The natural bowls or swimming pools are a real treat in hot weather. Water a little cool but pleasant. Be careful, the road that runs along the gorges is barely wider than a cycle path. Big danger to cross paths... with the void below. (Original) Endroit magnifique, comme figé par le temps. A découvrir absolument. Les cuvettes ou piscines naturelles sont un vrai régal par temps chaud. Eau un peu fraîche mais agréable. Attention, la route qui longe les gorges est à peine plus large qu'une piste cyclable. Gros danger pour se croiser... avec le vide en contrebas.

(Translated by Google) Splendid uncontaminated corner where you can spend a few days in complete relaxation. Along the stream there are many natural pools that are not very frequented. The water is very cold and the road to get there is not the best but still it remains one of the most beautiful places in all of Corsica. (Original) Splendido angolo incontaminato in cui poter passare qualche giornata in completo relax. Lungo il torrente si trovano tantissime piscine naturali poco frequentate. L'acqua è molto fredda e la strada per arrivarci non è delle migliori ma comunque resta uno dei luoghi più belli di tutta la Corsica.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant walk in the Restonica gorges.. exceptional place with its waterfalls, its colors, its small natural swimming pools.. Take a good pair of special river shoes 😉. .. (Original) Ballade très agréable dans les gorges de la Restonica.. lieu exceptionnel par ses cascades, ses couleurs, ses petites piscines naturelles.. Prenez une bonne paire de chaussures spéciale rivière 😉. ..

(Translated by Google) Beautiful hike to do absolutely if you are passing through Corte. It is divided into two phases, the first is accessible to all, the second requires a certain physical fitness (short ferrata passage) (Original) Belle randonnée à faire absolument si vous êtes de passage à Corte. Elle s'articule en deux phases, la première est accessible à tous, la seconde demande une certaine forme physique (court passage en ferrata)

Very nice view in almost every direction. Building is historical and fitted nicely into the landscape.

Beautiful place to visit and see and have a quick rest there.

The mill itself isn’t very interesting as it’s closed and misses its wings; but it’s a great place to hear/read about the local liquor produced nearby (cape corse apéritive). You also get stunning view of the top northern point of Corsica and the cute little marina of Centuri nearby

A 10-minute walk, a wanderfull view of the Port de Centuri

Beautiful views to the sea and inlands of Corsica from the windmill

A must see! Quite easy to access, the panoramic view on top of the hill is spectacular! There is even someone from Office de tourisme providing information inside the Moulin.

What an amazing place, with a breathtaking view! Absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough that somebody was selling crepes there, so delicious!

We went to Plage Saleccia after seeing Bodri Beach, and this one is also lovely with soft white sand and very clear water. It was a bit busier though, with more boats, yachts and people around, so it didn’t feel quite as calm. It calmed down in the late afternoon as people were starting to take the return boats. We got there by boat, which was nice. Just a small tip: book early enough, and if you use GetYourGuide it’s worth checking with the operator directly to make sure your ticket is in order.

Just an amazing beach! The sand is superb, the water is azure, and the wind is calm. However, you can't really get there easily: the "road" is 6 euro and if you don't have a tall 4x4 it's better not to go there. On the beach there's no toilet or change room, so be ready to share some of your secrets. It's not a lot of people, though.

Much better than the Lotu beach for sure. Nicer to swim and enjoy the beach with less people. The trip back with zodiac was also a nice occasion, for which it's kind of a must for the return.

Fantastic beach. I like the way to get there. There is no road. But with a motorcycle or a 4x4 car you can get there. The beach is very clean. The sand is fine but not more fine than on the other side like at Bastia. You can be shure that everyone on this beach has made a special effort to come here. There are sometime cows on thr beach. The cows like to play with some visitors. This plage is one of the most difficult to get there.

Nice beach, but nothing ‘special’, loads of nice beaches in Corsica that do not require an hour off-road driving (10 kms) to get too! A nice sandy long beach, but the snorkeling was disappointing. Maybe a visit by boat would be the best option.

This beach is extraordinary special and located very nice. The scenery is just great. Clear water and white sand makes you feel like in the Caribbean. During the main season it's often crowded, but still worth a visit. You can go by 4 wheel drive from Casta or by boat from St. Florent. Or by your own car, and without 4 wheel drive it will take some hours to do down the earth road. Close to the beach there's the famous camping site and on the other end of the beach a very nice beach restaurant hidden in the pines. Definitely with a visit.

One of Corsica’s finest beaches—and worth every bit of effort to reach it. Getting there isn’t easy, but it is doable with a standard rental (we managed in an Opel Corsa). Allow roughly 45 minutes for the drive; the road is bumpy, rocky, unpaved in most places, and requires slow, careful navigation but the standard ride height is enough for this road (full cover recommended tho) Your reward? Sweeping turquoise water, powder-soft sand, and the unforgettable sight of white cows lazing right on the shoreline. A small beach bar serves snacks and cold drinks; card payments are accepted for purchases over €20. Tip: start early to avoid the midday rush, and keep an eye on your fuel—there are no services along the final stretch. Enjoy the adventure and the view!

Used to be a great offroad experience. Now they turned it into a paved like main road. Good for the business on the no longer secret beach, bad for everyone else

(Translated by Google) We left St Florent to go to Lotus Island by boat, dream beach, clear water, no waves. Then we walked for 1 hour to go to Saleccia beach, which is also very pretty, but I recommend staying on Lotus beach to stay and swim there, and finally we did the 4x4 tour inside the Agriates desert, an experience not to be missed, it is well worth the price and the detour. (Original) Nous sommes partis de St Florent pour aller sur l'île de lotus en bateau plage de rêve eau claire pas de vague. Ensuite nous avons marché 1h pour aller jusqu'à la plage de saleccia très jolie aussi mais je conseille de rester sur celle de Lotus pour y rester s'y baigner et pour finir nous avons fait le tour en 4×4 à l'intérieur du désert des agriates une expérience à ne pas manquer tellement ça vaut largement le prix et le détour.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk today from Zilia to the Asco gorges. The road is very winding and narrow but what a spectacle. The river has dug its bed for millions of years to leave these sumptuous panoramas of emerald and turquoise colors in dizzying crevasses. We continued our route to Asco and left the car in the village. Head towards the church, feeling good about it, and take the Pont Génois path, a 20-minute walk away, and enjoy a moment of swimming. (Original) Belle balade aujourd'hui depuis Zilia jusqu'aux gorges de l'Asco. La route est très sinueuse et étroite mais quel spectacle. La rivière a creuse son lit pendant des millions d'années pour laisser ces somptueux panoramas aux couleurs émeraude et turquoise dans de vertigineuses crevasses. Nous avons poursuivis notre route jusqu'à Asco et laisser la voiture au village. Prendre la direction de l'église en étant bien chzusses d'ailleurs et prendre le chemin du Pont Génois 20 mn à pied et profiter d'un moment de baignade

(Translated by Google) A day of swimming at the Genoese Bridge, past the village of Asco, via the narrow, winding road that leads to the parking lot! Needless to say, it was worth the effort! Jumps, jumps, and more jumps for the kids, but also for Dad! We also met some really nice local kids! The view is exceptional! (Original) Journée baignade au pont Gênois après le village d'Asco par la route étroite et sinueuse qui mène au parking! Autant dire que le jeu en vaut la chandelle! Des sauts des sauts et encore des sauts pour les enfants mais aussi pour papa! Nous avons également rencontrés des jeunes locaux super sympa! Le panorama est exceptionnel!

(Original) Venir tôt pour pouvoir se garer. Route un peu compliquée surtout quand il faut se croiser.... Le décor est somptueux, le calme est là

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place. Nice hike. Too bad the trail markings are non-existent... (Original) Très bel endroit. Randonnée sympathique. Dommage que le balisage soit inexistant...

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to discover the Asco gorges in June, meeting only 3/4 people. The walk to the bridge is very easy and we were able to stop at the edge of the river to enjoy the coolness of the water. (Original) Nous avons eu la chance de découvrir les gorges de l'asco au mois de juin, en ne croisant que 3/4 personnes. La ballade jusqu'au pont est très facile et nous avons pu nous arrêter au bord de la rivière pour profiter de la fraicheur de l'eau.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place! Be careful because to reach the Genoese bridge, you have to park high up and walk down for 20-25 minutes along a small road. Once at the bottom, you reach the bridge and the view is splendid. You can go down towards the rocks to find a nice spot. Don't hesitate to bring special shoes for those who like to scramble among the rocks! You will see cars parked all along the road to reach Asco. Everyone has a nice spot, but be aware that you will have to go downhill, and sometimes the paths are steep! Be careful. It's definitely worth the effort because once you get down, it's magnificent. The clear water refreshes you, and all you have to do is enjoy the sound of the current (not too strong) and the beauty of the place. (Original) Magnifique endroit ! Soyez prudents car pour atteindre le pont génois il faut se garer dans les hauteurs et descendre pendant 20-25 minutes le long d’une petite route. Une fois en bas, vous atteignez le pont et la vue est splendide. Vous pourrez descendre vers les rochers pour vous trouver un joli spot. Ne pas hésiter à prendre des chaussures spéciales pour ceux qui aiment crapahuter dans les rochers ! Vous verrez des voitures garées tout le long de la route pour atteindre Asco, chacun se trouve un spot agréable mais il faut avoir conscience qu’il faudra descendre et parfois les chemins sont escarpées ! Prudence. Le jeu en vaut vraiment la chandelle car une fois en bas c’est magnifique. L’eau claire vous rafraîchit et il n’y a plus qu’à profiter du bruit du courant (pas trop fort) et de la beauté des lieux.

Lovely, relaxing part where you can exhale and make your way around the park at your own pace. We took about two hours and enjoyed bench sitting, smelling the herbs and flowers, and hanging with the goats! Great place to unwind.

Such a beautiful place. We loved everything about it, the people were very friendly, spoke English. The restaurant is only serving till 2pm, do be advised. They have cool drink and ice cream to cool down. The park isn’t too big, so it’s perfect for smaller children and in hot weather. There’s a huge playground, loads of space for kids to run around. Pretty seating areas in shaded spots. It’s very well maintained. I loved the gift store, it’s very cute. For the biggest impact, visit in spring or early summer.

Lovely gardens showcasing all the local vegetation with a really nice restaurant making delicious salads and quiche. Also has a nice play area for kids and some donkeys and chickens. A highlight of our week in Calvi.

Beautiful. A bit repetitive in the plant life but we'll sculpted and designed. The wire sculptures are a delight. An excellent playground for the children. Overall very nice but they need to add a lot more plant diversity and more water areas to attract insect, bird, and animal life.

Very nice park, lots of flowers, makes for a lovely experience !

Set in the hills near to the Île Rousse in the north of Corsica, this parkland is well worth a visit. The gardens are well maintained snd there are information panels too. As we visited in October there were not too many flowers to see, but the general planting and borders would look lovely in Spring and summer. If you have time, have lunch at the café - the food is all from local producers and very tasty. We had an amazing croque Monsieur and a mixed dishes of local Corsican meats and cheese - lovely! The cats are very friendly too!

Good place to visit if you in area. Lovely flowers and trees. Good 2 hours to walk around.

Worth the walk out from ile rousse for amazing views

I suggest to visit this place at the sunset (8pm) because is stunning. Lovely easy walk around 15min on the road by the sea with amazing views. It is a really must see!

Amazing panisland with great views on the town and the sea. Crystal-clear turquoise water and red rocks. Its well worth the short walk up. There is also a rock tower to see.

For me so far the nicest location on whole Corsica. Beautiful colors. The yellow rock with dark blue and turquoise water. Extremely nice and relaxing.

A very interesting panoramic point with beautiful views

Beautiful sunset. Place on the rock behind the lighthouse - and must to visit!

View worth the 20 minutes walk up under the sun

A short 20-minute walk leads to these charming ruins. There are nice viewpoints of the seacoast, especially uphill from the village.

Beautiful place with an outstanding view.

A beautiful set of ruins with amazing views of this part of Corsica. It's a bit of a hike to get to, but worth it if you are nearby and able to do the walk. We went from a nearby road, it was about 20 minutes of hiking on a steep path. Not challenging but would recommend good shoes.

20-30 min walk via camping street.no real parking.

(Translated by Google) I've been to this place before, but it's always the same pleasure! A good 30-40 minute climb before getting there. The small church is closed...what a shame! A very beautiful olive tree too. A magnificent view from all sides. Go there, it's really nice! (Original) Je suis déjà allée dans cet endroit mais c'est à chaque fois le même plaisir! Une bonne montée de 30 à 40 mn avant d'y arriver Petite église fermée...dommage! Très bel olivier également Une magnifique vue de toutes parts Allez y c'est vraiment sympa!!

(Translated by Google) Be careful!!! It's a climb, especially afterward if you want to do the loop. The hike was given as easy on the hiking video, but I put it as medium + I'm overweight and an occasional hiker... That said, I really liked it. (Original) Attention !!! Ça grimpe et surtout après si vous souhaitez faire la boucle. Randonnée donnée facile sur visio rando moi je la met en moyen + je suis en surpoids et randonneur occasionel...

To do in the morning in hot weather (Original) Un petit chemin pour s'y rendre bien agencé où on peut y voir plusieurs magnifiques points de vue. En haut les ruines !!! Splendide !!!

Makes for a beautiful, and interesting drive. The roads are very narrow in places and many of the passing points get filled with other road users opportunistically using them as parking so they can get photos of the views, which means you need to be careful of people on the road as well. We ended up driving through in both directions at about 6pm. The roads weren't too busy and worth it for the views. We then parked at the tête de chien (small roadside parking on both sides of the road, space for 10-15 cars in total.) The walk from there is very pleasant and marked with yellow spray paint at key turning points. If you are confident and careful enough, there are some very impressive views to be had by taking a few steps off the track and pushing through the shrubs at certain places.

Its a beautiful, astonishing road along the west coast of Corsica but be ready for a very patience and careful drive! There could be goats&cows on tje road as well as very vwry narrow road above the coast. Be careful.

Spectacular rocks with the street moving in between. Parc the car on the side of the road and take a little walk along the street. Pay attention to driving cars.

A must see when youre visiting Corsica, breathtaking sculptrual rock formations cascading above the sea.

Beautiful drive from Piana to Porto through the Calanques de Piana. Outstanding views.

Awesome eroded red rock formations, many looking ready to break loose! Beautiful views with sheer drops to the sea. Grab any and all small parking spots then walk usually less than 100m to get best views. Drive careful on the many blind corners!

Spectacular views! The road is awfully narrow, and you have to be on the look out for tour buses and cyclists (there are small places to pull off along the road), but this is truly a jaw dropping view. Photos can’t do it justice.

Nice for an afternoon visit. Little streets with cafes and wine bars plus some nice views.

Giant bastion, when you aproach those walls from land it is like OMG. Inside is a small town with a church of John the Baptist. If you are lucky to get a parking place bellow the walls, otherwise park before the marine and have a nice walk through turist streets. Once inside encircle the walls and enjoy the view.

Lovely place to visit, just be prepared for alot of steps and steep gradients but the view is worth it.

Beautiful citadelle, great spots for sunset drinks, and a few very nice places to eat. Plenty more on the lower town too.

Wonderful ancient surroundings and winding streets, fantastic view over the citt

Not as lively or well maintained as Bonifacio but still worth walking the whole place

Worthwhile visit strolling through the ancient streets of the citadelle

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Villa Calvi. Our room was excellent; the views from the hotel in general were wonderful; the service was excellent, and the food was top-notch! Had dinner there were some problems with wasps the management very kindly supplied us with electric flyswatters which did the job!!!

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.

This is a lovely peaceful hotel, with a magnificent view of Calvi. Very friendly and helpful staff with large well appointed rooms. The grounds and pool are well presented and it is in walking distance of the centre of Calvi, although it is uphill on the way back. Although they could lose the rubber ducks in the pool in front of the restaurant! (Some smart designers idea of being funny)

Nice hotel, room and view. However seriously let down by a few points: 1) food choice extremely limited 2) transfer from airport not organised properly; 3) air con in gym very weak; 4) shuttle car not at level expected; 5) staff -some lovely and some very unhelpful; 6) beach utterly dreadful. Overall much to like but could be so much better with attention to a few areas. Also not in the slightest kid friendly with very small pool and surrounding area.

Very beautiful, red rocks with high cliffs falling straight into the ocean. Beautiful surroundings and the feeling of "middle of nowhere". Highly recommended

Amazing and beautiful area to visit. Clear water for snorkling with a lot of fish and interesting structure under water. Great landscape with huge and different colored rocks. But please remember, its a nature reservate so no garbage! No fishing! No fast driving with boots!

I visit this park in a speed boat. It was a nightmare. And about the park and rocks...well it's a problem of taste.

The most amazing place to visit in Corsica. Just choose carefully your boat agency (even if they look all bad...)

Stunning place to visit, 100% must do in Calvi

I have never seen such a beautiful natural spectacle. book a boat and take the complete tour! it will exceed your expectations

Beautiful sea and great unesco site. We went kayaking and saw some turtles

I'm biased, since I come from the same region, but I like it! Lots of tourists, and, as always, not recommended during the hottest weeks of summer.

Amazing Stretch of cycle path with beautiful sea views

Bellisimo

Visited end of July. Perhaps there was a water restriction as the gardens seemed dry. Places needed trimming or at least tidied up. A bit run down. Paths and stairs need renovating. A few areas/paths closed. I would love to visit again when not so dry and renovations finished. Free parking limited to the street. Lovely view of the sea.

What an incredibly beautiful property. This garden is absolutely worth a visit. It's best to allocate at least 1hr to visit and discover the beauty of this garden! Parking options are a bit limited and visitors need to park alongside the main road.

I love botanical gardens and try to visit at least a new one each vacation. The location of Hanbury botanical gardens is very special, with great views of the Mediterranean sea, and have interesting features, in terms of the antique buildings, plants and decorations (statues, etc) but imo it really needs more care! We visited in August, which I understand is a hot and dry month, but in comparison to other botanical gardens -in the same region- also visited in summer, this one could really gain with more irrigation, plant care, and some details as more labeling of the plants species and some additional informative data (origin, uses, etc) Hope this comment is taken into consideration for improvement.

Would not have missed this botanical gardens. We've spend approximately 3 hours here. The garden is beautiful even at early September. It is true that some parts need some maintenance, but it also gives some extra charm to it. Imagine the potential! A big plus is the silence, especially since the rest of Cote d'Azur is such a busy and extravert environment. Highly appreciated!

Just a fantastic garden and setting. Put aside a few hours for a walk around the garden. Numerous viewpoints and benches to sit and soak up the plants, cactus and trees. Even a cafe!

Very impressive and beautiful. Unfortunately some parts were closed due to storm damage. But still it was a walk of wonder and delight to see all this exotic flora and spectacular views! Take notice there is no dedicated parking lot so be prepared to park your car along the street, hopefully not too far off.

Huge garden, expect some uphill walking. The view is spectacular.An interesting place but a bit run down.

Contrary to what is indicated, the Cocteau Museum is closed down since several years (due to storm damage) and looks abandoned. Part of the collection can be visited in the nearby "Bastion". The original Cocteau Museum building was anyway not a brilliant addition to the beautiful city of Menton, so let's hope that it will simply be razed one day.

On the promenade you will admire the magnificent architecturally modern building that houses the Jean Cocteau museum (Musee Jean Cocteau). It contains 2000 works by Jean Cocteau, the multi-talented French artist, painter, poet and director. He lived a large part of his life in Mendon and when he died he donated his works to the city. The Museum will delight those who visit it, especially art lovers.

Amazing art in a wonderful city. Entry is free the first Sunday of every month.

The website says there is an exhibition. I found a closed place. If the exhibition was moved, They could leave a message .

Very interesting exhibition of Dufy upstairs and Cocteau downstairs. Definitely worth going to see.

One of my favorite cities Beautiful museums

Museum is closed. It is highly unprofessional they don't bother updating their status.

Excellent cemetery, up on a hill right in the old town. Easy walk up the old stairs, old style path. Well signed. Drinking water (tap) up top, not much else. Great views of sea, harbor, mountains, on both sides. Even a few benches to enjoy the solitude and the views, along with the permanent guests. Very interesting monument work, some recent, some as old as 1885 (maybe older), some clean and polished, some falling apart, some obviously expensive, some humble. All tell a short small story of loss, that somebody at some time, cared.

Good historic cemetery. Easy to get to from the seaside. Go up the Orange staircases and when you get to the church, make a sharp right up more stairs. These stairs take you to the cemetery through very quaint alleys and houses. Very well worth the steps to get to the cemetery.

Why I am a tombstone tourist at times? It is architecture, with art stones from different eras, the finely carved sculptures, they were meant to be seen and appreciated. I will always find something interesting about history as well. I am curious about the stories of the people whose lives are represented on the tombs. This peaceful abode's permanent residents include a Russian prince, the tomb of William Webb Ellis, legendary inventor of the sport. Aubrey Vincent Beardsley an English illustrator and author. Plus this lovely Kingdom of eternal rest has one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Menton. Look out over beautiful carved angels to the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean Sea💙.

Menton has been attracting European vacationers and retirees for 150 years and many of them ended their days here. And it would be hard to find a more scenic spot for a last farewell. There are residents here from the USA to Russia and most points in between. Many of the graves teeter on the brink of a precipice with no safeguarding for grieving relatives or inquisitive visitors but it is wildly beautiful. The British section is on a lower level accessed by a gate to the right of the main entrance where you will find escapees from Stalybridge and Wimbledon resting in the Mediterranean sunshine. Joining them for a few moments quiet reflection is rewarding.

About 10-15mins straight walk uphill from the basilica cathedral is the cemetery. There is only 1 exit and entrance which is beside a main road. Entry is free. On a late Thursday afternoon, it was very peaceful and there were only 3-4 other visitors. The cemetery offers a nice view of menton but the place itself is very charming with its medieval theme and random spots w wild roses growing 💕 Definitely worth a visit if you happen to visit the cathedral as well!

very atmospheric place on top of the hill. old tombstones, silence, a place to reflect. at the same time, beautiful views of the sea and the city

Most Beautiful views of Menton, well worth the short walk up the hill. Really recommend, lovely way to see the area from a different perspective!

Spent 1 night with 1 tent here. The view is great, staff is friendly. The campsite has decent and clean showers and toilets. You can easily access by foot from the town, but it is a steep and sweaty hike in the summer! 20 euros for the night (solo, 1 tent, 1 night, no car). Slightly noisy depending on where your spot is because you can hear cars/motorcycles from the roads.

Nice location for train excursions to nice and Monte Carlo as well as the town itself. Bathrooms older and not clean. Not even toilet paper provided. A bit pricey at Euro 48 per night off season. Approach is a bit challenging for larger motorhomes.

Camping with a great view to the sea. Great showers. Soap for the toilet but no toilet paper. Very expansive (20 euro for small tent and one person, I think 27 for 2) very nice receptionist. Stayed here for 3 nights at first, next year for 1 night and then again for 6, so I totally recommend it. Would come back if I can. Great sunrises at the end of September (beginning of September they come from the mountain), so you should wake up early :)

Great campsite in a great part of the French Riviera. We have returned to the campsite having spent 4 nights in our campervan last year. The facilities are kept clean and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Steep walk up to the campsite but it doesn’t take long.

Very noisy. Hard to sleep. Seems to be more of a park ground for cars to drive in and out than a camping… it‘s streets all around d the camp ground. Over priced. Not warm welcoming.

Lovely campsite in Old Menton. Great welcome from staff. Great pitch overlooking sea. Snack bar. Facilities clean. Not noisy. Only downside is that it is located at the top of a lot of steps.

Very helpful and kind reception staff. The location is exceptional with a breathtaking view. The campsite has everything that you need, highly recommended.

I was really excited to visit this place. However the websites instructions are very misleading. Basically, they have opening hours... which you'd assume you'd be able to rock up and buy tickets and view... but it seems you must buy tickets and arrive on time for a tour. Outside of these times they lock the gate, start the tour and completely ignore you. Considering this is a tourist destination, you'd assume this would be explained: 'buy ticket online, arrive on time for the tour and enjoy the tour' instead it doesn't. Sadly we travelled really far just to see the gate.

Teach the staff how to treat people with respect and accept that bad things happen and they can help solve them October 2024 We were looking forward to coming to Cabanon de Le Corbusier and purchased our tickets way in advance. We were staying Northwest of Nice and left at 8:00 am for a 10:00 am tour. We tried to load the address on our car - since there is no street address number, the car would not take the address. So we used our Google Maps. We came down the hill and saw the sign for the Cabanon and Google Maps said we were here. We were not there, but we did not know that. I got out of the car and walked around looking for the building. We asked two different groups of people. The first did not know and the second group did, but they did not know how to get there without looking it up on their google maps. Their conclusion was to go the railroad station. Not sure why our tickets did not just give the train station as the address. After all of this we called the staff to say we were coming late and they said too bad - so sad. You are out of luck. We drove there anyhow. They made a bad situation much worse. 1) Did they try to make any accommodations - absolutely not. 2) It was so bad that when we asked to go to the bathroom for some in our party - the receptionist said there were no restrooms around the area - they actually had one and let ticket holders use it - we had six tickets and she was saying no restrooms around. 3) They had an 11:00 am time slot to tour the building without anyone going into the building and we asked if they would just give us a ten minute tour and Amy, who apparently was in charge - said "NO"!. I ran a not for profit for 37 years and we worked to get to yes, never to say no so quickly. Did she do anything to acknowledge that we had driven nearly two hours - that we were probably 900 feet away, just up above and maybe - just maybe she needed to try to do something. NO!!!!!! I have never been treated like this by any museum, cultural facility in my life and in particular in France. One of the staff acted like she wanted to help. Although even her solutions were not helpful. As with most customer issues, these issues have been known to the organization before. I believe they have known that google maps does not get you to the building, have they done anything to solve that? Have they tried to get a number on their address so that car maps can get you there? Have they put any signage up to the area where google maps says you have arrived to solve this issue? Have they trained any of their staff not to dismiss people who have arrived late with some type of accommodation other than you can see it from the outside? In the organization that I ran, my staff would have been trained to resolve issues not make them worse. Did they even try to give us our money back - that was not the option we wanted - they do not offer to give your money back - in fact they say you do not get your money back - but you can write to an address. Save your time - save your money - I am certain this is a worthwhile thing to look at - but if something happens you will run into a buzz saw that shows no mercy and solves no problems. I do not normally turn into an ugly American - but folks and their procedures/attitude can bring it out in anybody.

The Cabanon de Le Corbusier is a small cabin located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, designed by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. Built in 1952, this iconic structure is a prime example of Le Corbusier's architectural philosophy, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and the integration of living spaces with nature. The cabin measures just 3.66 meters by 3.66 meters, showcasing a minimalist design that reflects Le Corbusier's principles of modularity and spatial efficiency. It features a compact living area, a small kitchen, and a sleeping area, all designed to maximize comfort within a limited space. The cabin is situated on a hillside, providing stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Cabanon is part of the cultural heritage of the region and is often visited by architecture enthusiasts and tourists interested in Le Corbusier's work. If you're curious about its design principles, history, or how to visit, feel free to ask!

Come on ... booking in advance to see a couple of ordinary beach houses and holiday unit as Eileen Gray E-1027 where nothing is worth the visit and it's no different that Le Corbusier have stayed there when you know his work in cities ... let alone for € 19 !

Not possible to buy a ticket without reservation online (which is unavailable) , rude staff at entrance. Save yourself the trip like me and other people who travelled there a long way in hope to learn more about Le Corbusier.

An aberration to have built a restaurant literally attached to Le Corbusier's cabin. It makes his work lose all significance.

Fabulous experience and excellent guide.
