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

I was looking forward to our six and a half hour journey from Bastia to Nice on Corsica Ferries, but I must admit it turned out to be a terrible experience. The staff were extremely unhelpful and miserable. It was as if they were being made to work and didn't want to. Their attitude was abysmal. The food, which I expect to be expensive on a ferry, truly was expensive with a 500ml bottle of still water costing €2.90. The music on the sundeck was far too loud and someone somewhere kept flicking from track to track part way through a song. The dreadful music is not necessary in this day and age where passengers can choose to listen to what they like on their smartphones. All in all I'm glad I won't be travelling with Corsica ferries ever again.

The worst crossing ever with this company on Mega Express 5. The personnel were unprofessional and unhelpful. The smell of sewage throughout the accommodation was overpowering. The staff in the Gusto restaurant overcharged for drinks and refused to reimburse the difference. No more than theft. They refused to call a supervisor when requested. The vessel is old and in very poor condition. Flooring is filthy, cabin in need of repair and the structure on the car decks showing signs of cracks.

My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected. My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

Good experience but survive could be better and food onboard was pricey

Ferry from Nice to Bastia was nice. Onboarding was super fast. Room was clean , food was ok. It was quite fast. We reached quite fast, less than 9 hrs. Overall really good experience

Set off late by about 20 minutes and arrived at Bastia port on Corsica at about 1 am instead of 11 pm, but the voyage was smooth and the sunset was awesome.

I took the ferry to Bastia and back. 1. The WiFi does not work at all. DON'T PAY FOR IT 2. The bathrooms were extremely FILFTHY they are not cleaned during or between the trips. It was absolutely disgusting. 3. Smell of diesel was everywhere I almost vomit.

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.

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.

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

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.

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... Ceci écrit j'ai bien aimé..

(Translated by Google) A small path to get there is well laid out where you can see several magnificent viewpoints. At the top the ruins!!! Splendid!!! 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 !!! A faire le matin par temps chaud

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!

A beautiful natural gorge that you can swim in but very popular even on the stightly overcast day we visited.

Easy to reach, you have a parking 2 minutes walking in the nearby, it's the restaurant parking but if you have a coffee or a drink you cal leave the car. Good to have sea shoes because in the river rocks are slippery. Water is not too cold and you can see a lot of fishes. Really nice place!

beautiful surroundings and spots for swimming! good and sufficient parking spots very close by.

Peaceful place 🌞 When you get there early in the morning you can have it all to yourself, which is awesome! Clear refreshing water to swim and chill in.

Lovely for swimming in the river. Quite busy on the weekend and slightly tricky to climb down for little ones (I used a baby carrier). Bring snorkelling gear!

Amazing place. Visited in September and easily found secluded place where we could enjoy the moment with a glass of wine.

Great experience for entire family. Water was really warm (around 25°C)

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.

Extremely long beach, very clean water and sand with thick grains that do not easily get stuck and is super easy to clean. There’s free parking nearby, which is always a plus! One of the best beaches of northern Corsica in my opinion, super recommended!

Beautiful natural beach with great panoramic view of the surrounding nature and coastline

Plage de Lozari – wild beauty and peaceful vibes Plage de Lozari is a beautiful, natural beach on the northwest coast of Corsica. Even in peak August season, it feels spacious and relaxed, thanks to its impressive length (around 1 km). You'll almost always find a spot to enjoy — even without arriving early. This beach is ideal for those who prefer authenticity over commercial buzz. There are no sunbeds or public toilets, just two beachfront restaurants and a small rental shack for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and other watersports. The entry into the water is relatively steep, so keep an eye on small kids, but the water is crystal-clear and inviting. Perfect for nature lovers and independent travelers looking for peace, space, and a touch of wild Corsican charm.

Beautiful stretch of sand with mountainous backdrop. Free parking with some shade, a few water sports but no other facilities so pack a picnic with plenty of drinks. The water is crystal clear but shelves quickly so take care with children or non swimmers, however there are life guards. Worth staying later to catch the sunset after most of the crowds have gone home.

Awesome beach. I liked this the most as the water has awesome colors and it’s super clear, the sand doesn’t stick to you like glue and the entrance in the water is more abrupt and you don’t need to walk 1km to swim properly.

Free parking, dogs are allowed, very clean and spacious beach. It can be a little windy...

Large sand beach, clean water, not a lot of people, pet friendly. Nothing special but nice enough.

Okay, nothing special. Just another beach. Fine sand that sticks to skin and feet long after. Bit ridiculous to pay 3euro for parking and need to walk 800m to the beach access. Only one time visit, no return expected.

Not many people. Very nice beach clear water. We found parking 3€ for a day is perfectly fine.

A beautiful beach. Absolutely worth the short walk from the car park or getting the train to. It was a pretty windy day when we were there but it was still great. The walk to the nearby beach and further around the coast was amazing, highly recommend. We visited on a Friday in late August. They had lifeguards on watch and there was a cafe open. The cafe only takes cash. The parking was €3. Cash only also.

Extremely crowded. The beach was very packed. Not a lot of waves. Shallow water, good for kids. Lots pf parking spots and a restaurant next to the beach.

The best beach on the west coast of Corsica. Two nice restaurants on the beach.

Cool atmosphere. Terrible service. We waited 40 minutes for a seat and an hour for our food. The prices don't match the quality.

An interesting beach with a very good restaurant

Very nice beach but (at this moment) difficult to reach. The first pathway to the right at the L'Agriate sign is full of mud/water and not accecible. If you continu following the concrete road, near the Solar-panel there you will find multiple trails going down to the beach. But beware, there is no bridge so you have to cross a lagune to get to the beach.

It was a windy day, but the sun was shining and we had an amazing time there. To reach the beach from the parking you have to cross by foot a pond, so be careful if you have children or loads of stuff like chairs or umbrellas! The parking is big and easy to reach by car. The walking from the beach to the park is between 10-15 minutes.

The beach is not easy to access — the path is quite difficult, especially if you're carrying beach equipment or have kids with you. If you have mobility issues, it's probably best to skip this spot and look for a more accessible beach. On a calm day, it might be a beautiful place to relax, but unfortunately, today was very windy and it turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Beautiful beautiful beach! We got there at around 2pm and stayed a few hours, it was a bit crowded but thankfully it’s really long and wide. What’s most stunning is the flora and the vegetation that surrounds the beach! You can see some cows and cross the small river though a bridge (tho is a bit broken so be careful). You have to walk for around 10/15 minutes from the parking lot (free, big, w/ trees). Once you see the sign of la Plage you have to take the path that goes downhill, at first we did not notice, as there is no arrow and kept walking on the main road.

Wild and fun beach! Often with little waves, so it's good to go with some sort of board. The trail to get there is also very beautiful

In mid July 2024 it was warm water and clean. Not very crowded as beach is super long and if you want to find a place where there is less people you can walk further. Main part with sand, north east part with rocks, boulders where you can find some spots to jump to the water. Be aware there is no shade at all. 15 walk from parking easy enough for kids and most of elderly people unless they can't stand the heat.

Nice beach! Was here in Winter so access was a bit more difficult due to lots of water / swamp. But great walk around for hiking and little bays. Bring enough water as surely it get scorching hot in Summer.

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.

Great experience here the nice lady on reception gave me some guidance in English on how to best enjoy the park. Just not 5 stars as some of the audio elements in the museum were not working.

Sadly all the exhibitions are in french only, but google translate can help you. Covers a wide field of topics and a lot of cacti, like an awesome lot

Great medium sized museum, parc, garden. The concept of this parc is interesting; you walk through a garden occupied by all the major plants of Corsica, with rooms filled with facts on the people, its intriguing history, music, films, etc. We enjoyed it very much. It took us 2 h. Even if it was a little rainy. For our two daughters the "nude" foot path was very enjoyable, running, feeling - fun. Most of all i liked the the way this parc stepped away from regular musea, walking in a parc that teases the visitor to look right and left is great.

Beautiful park

Beautiful place to spend few hours, both for adults and kids. Very interesting display of Corsican history, impressive cactus all around and a funny "bare foot" track for kids where my daughter enjoyed very much. Just missing (at least at the time of my visit, early September) some solution to get a drink....it can be very hot and if you don't have water with you it can be not so funny, even a simple vending machine would do.

Nice park which explains the history, flora and fauna of Corsica. Unfortunately all animals are just shown via pictures and all signs and explanations are only in French. The park has a strong focus on cactus. For my children the barefoot path has been the highlight.

a very interesting and beautiful place, not only a beautiful garden but also a very interesting museum. I particularly enjoyed listening to old Corsica instruments and old movies
