Bastia in 2 days
If you only have 2 days to spend in Bastia, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Bastia, on Corsica’s northeast coast, mixes a lively working port with an atmospheric old town of narrow lanes, baroque churches and faded pastel facades. Its Vieux Port is framed by cafes and overlooked by the citadel quarter of Terra Nova, which offers sea views and small museums. The city is known for its Corsican charcuterie, cheeses and wines, featured in bustling markets like Place du Marché. Bastia also serves as a convenient gateway to the wild Cap Corse peninsula and the island’s mountain villages.
With favorites like La Galerie - La Rocade Furiani, L'Ardoise, and Office de Tourisme Intercommunal de Bastia, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like A Scaletta and Brasserie Le Palais des Glaces so you can get the best taste of Bastia while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Place Saint Nicolas is a lively seafront square in Bastia, featuring regular festivals and a weekend flea market. The 280m long and 80m wide square offers charming attractions such as Maison Matei where you can purchase local liquors and specialties. Visitors can also admire the conning tower of the submarine Le Casabianca displayed opposite the ferry port. The square is perfect for people-watching, enjoying meals at cafes, indulging in Italian ice cream, or having refreshing drinks.
Beautiful place bordered by an avenue. You can sit in the shade, there are a variety of restaurants and bars. We were allowed to attend the fireworks on July 14, great atmosphere, highly recommended.

Huge main square in Bastia. Toward the port are parking spaces . Surranded by trees, there are planty of bars and restaurants in the shade. On Sunday you can find flea market and also different resellers. We checked it and then grabed a coffee.
In the evenings is emptier, you should check the old market by the main church or marina with restaurants.
Nice plaza to walk around with plenty of bars / restaurants.
Worth looking behind the main square to get real feel of the city and it's quaint back streets and bars which are just as good but easier on the wallet.
Very nice clean Place with statues Market and lots of cafe style tables. Mature trees and shade if needed
Place to explore when you are waiting for your ferry. There was a flea market on Sunday morning. You can grab coffee and snacks from nearby shops.
We were there, when the yearly salon de chocolat was happening, a sort of trade fair surrounding the production of chocolate and sweets in Corsica. This was worth it. Otherwise its a lively space with lots of cafés and restaurants right next to the harbour. Heart of the town.
A good place to park, close to shops and the citadel. I recommend parking inside to beat the heat. The entrance to the underground portion is close to the exit on the right, so, it is a little confusing.
Great cafes, champagne, ice cream, chats and good atmosphere

Mattei Concept Store is a captivating establishment that used to be a club, exuding a distinct ambiance. The store offers an extensive selection of beverages, including both local and international options, giving patrons the opportunity to indulge in tastings. Currently awaiting their bar license approval, it's exciting to imagine the possibilities for further enhancing this already beautiful location.
Well worth just calling in, even if its just to see the way the shop is displayed.

A beautiful store with a unique atmosphere (it used to be a club). They have a wide range of drinks, not only local ones, and you can taste some of them.
The establishment has a pending application for a bar license, can't wait to see what they will do with the place once they have it!
Beautiful store. The lady working there today (Saturday 5th of June, 2021), was so lovely, kind & helpful. She was an expert on her products - a true professional. Thanks for a super experience!.
All the Cap Corse souvenirs and drinks you would want. Wonderful store.
Friendly service, well stocked, central location

(Translated by Google) Fantastic and very knowledgeable staff. They took all the time I needed, explaining the various wines and the wineries for sale, and were very professional in their responses. They also offered advice that wasn't just about sales, but also based on my needs and tastes. Highly recommended! Thank you :)

Thomas H — Google review
The train left late (15 minutes after the scheduled departure time). We had to walk and stand at least 30 minutes - we travelled only 10-15 minutes by the train. This was not a train trip, and we did not get previously any correct information about that. The office gave us a satisfaction questionnaire which was only in French, and we did not get any compensation.
Just came back from a holiday in Corsica, I must say the place is totally stunning and full of wilderness and character but the welcoming to tourists is almost totally not existent. Arrived on a Sunday morning at 7am by boat from Italy, no public transport available until Monday at 6:30 am…. 😱 the only available method of transport around the area is taxi which costs 90€ for half an hour journey to saint Florent… it seems it’s all planned so that the trekking tourists are totally left with very high transportation bills and no support from the local Corse touristic board. Really sad, as this is an absolutely amazing place to be but a shot to the head with transport pricing.
Be aware!!
So helpful. Emile told me what I could do so easily by bus, and I had a great visit as a result. Give Emile a pay raise!
Excellent service. Friendly People explain all as well
The guy that we speak with was friendly and caring. Very nice. 😊
If you want more information than just the "petit train de Bastia", you're better off asking elsewhere, or simply searching online.. it doesn't seem like this office deals with Bastia tourists.
I understand that most people coming to the island drive, and Bastia is merely a stop in their trip, but can't you have more information for the few that decide not to drive?
No recommendation of beaches to go to, actually we were told that they had no clue on how the beaches are like???!!!
They advise you to wait for a "minibus" to take you to l'Arinella, that comes every 2 hours.. and when it arrives, a 6-seater vehicle shows up, first 2 families standing took all the 6 availvlf seats .. would anyone call that a minibus
I understand that the city wants to mostly cater for people that rent cars .. but can't you have at least someone with little more knowledge for tourists that choose not to rely on cars?
I'd advise anyone coming to Bastia to simply search online and gather information from the big mess that is the web, because this office will give you no additional knowledge beyond that

Attention to cheat and to your security!!
One of the worst experience in my life. A place full of incompetent people.
My girlfriend and I took electric bike two times. During our second trip they gave us a bike with the front wheel a bit broken (we didn't notice it at a first time), so after riding for some time it suddenly exploded. My girlfriend risked to have a serious accident and be hit by cars. We tried to explain what happened and they just answered "It happens also if you drive a car to have an accident. Now you have to pay the damage". So they wanted us to pay 105 euros to change the wheel.
But that's not all folks! While I was paying the 105 euros, I discovered just by chance that they took 300€ from my credit card on our first trip. They tried to cheat me. Fortunately they gave me back the cash.
I know that this story seems invented, but I have all the receipts to prove it.
Trust me, don't go there!!

Place du Marché in Bastia is a delightful spot that perfectly captures the essence of the old town and port. This charming plaza is a must-visit, especially on Sunday mornings when it comes alive with local vendors offering an array of traditional Corsican delicacies, including delicious cheese pancakes. The atmosphere is vibrant, making it an ideal place to sample typical Corsican foods like cold cuts and fresh bread.
This is the must visit place during Sunday mornings. You can try a lot of traditional corsican food there, especially cheese pancakes!

Churches & Cathedrals
Nestled in the heart of Corsica, Église Saint Jean-Baptiste stands as a remarkable historic Catholic church that captivates visitors with its stunning opulence. As you approach from the Old Port, its grand facade and twin bell towers soaring to 70 meters are impossible to overlook. Inside, you'll be greeted by an enchanting atmosphere adorned with intricate frescoes crafted by renowned Florentine artists Olimpio Bandinelli and Oreste Malfanti back in 1870.
Main cathedral now, when the town of Bastia grew. It is partly hiidden in a small alley because of the houses in front of it, but still large enough to dominate over the port. A nice hideout from summer heat and to find peace. It is a little dark but in stead of frescoes on the ceiling you can marvel church ornamentation from stone carvings.
Rok S — Google review
The iconic church of bastia, really worth a visit. However its quite dark, so some details might be a little hidden.
Too small, and very dark. My friend Dave said candles were 1 euro per candle!
Beautiful and ancient. Very quiet and peaceful.

Magic 👍
Worth to visit
(Translated by Google) One of the largest and most beautiful churches in Corsica. The entrance has a few steps. It's a must-see if you're in Bastia.
Next door is the lovely market square, perfect for a visit to this church.
The old port is very close by.

Palais des Gouverneurs is an impressive 15th-century citadel that offers breathtaking views of the port and the bay. The site features a charming museum with well-curated collections and beautiful architecture. Visitors can explore the hanging gardens, which provide a magnificent panorama of the city. The citadel itself is worth exploring, offering hidden gems and a quieter atmosphere compared to the bustling city below. Access to the museum garden comes at a small fee but rewards visitors with stunning vistas of Bastia.
Fantastic terrace and garden with a view over Bastia

Definitely worth the climb from the harbor. You can access the museum garden for a small fee (1€) and have stunning views on the city. The citadel in the back is also quite nice with hidden gems and less crowd when compared to the city downstairs.
Once a palace of the Genoese governors now a museum. Well after exploring the old town, family was hungry. No museum for me. But I loved the old doors to the palace.
The WWII exhibition was very interesting, especially the video footage of GIs liberating Bastia. The rest of the stuff on show was ok, not all in English and surprisingly not a lot of its most famous son, Napoleon
Beautiful seen from the outside!
Nice palace

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, well-maintained, recently restored palace, completely accessible without steps.

Guests rave about the friendly staff and their attentive service, making every meal feel special.

Best delicious Corsican flavours we had on our travels around the island in such a gorgeous restaurant with beautiful views from the terrace. my wife recommends the lamb confi, I loved the tuna
Robin G — Google review
We really enjoyed our dinner at A Scaletta - we waited 15 minutes for a table outside the little balcony and it was worth it! We had some buratta, tartar, shellfish and duck with a view and a nice rosé from Corsica. The service was also very kind. Unfortunately the duck was more well done than medium.
We would definitely recommend the restaurant.
Very cute and cozy interior! I had an issue with my food which was solved quickly and also I was not charged for that order. Delicious wine and starters, main course is good.
Very friendly stuff, nice and cozy small family restaurant. Good food, reasonable prices for the old port location, great views over the port!
Fabulous little restaurant with a brilliant view from terrace. Food first class, staff delightful and more than reasonably priced...terrific value. We loved it, highly recommended.
Maybe the best octopus plate I‘ve eaten.
It was creamy, dressing was perfect and risotto as side simply tasty! We also had the filet de loup which was really great as well. And Focaccia as starter to share just perfect. Added to a very nice service; no need to look for another place.
Wonderful place with beautiful view from the balcony! The staff is extremely friendly, food was excellent. The lady that took care of the service at our table was adorable, nice and helpful in explaining the dishes.
One of the best moules-frites that I have ever eaten! The place is not the cheapest, but still reasonable. The platters for two are excellent as well! Thank you for this great experience!
Decent food. Cozy atmosphere. Very busy. Solid service. Outstanding mussels.

Café Au Palais Des Glaces is a charming spot located in Bastia, offering both outdoor and indoor seating with art-nouveau decor. It's a popular choice for a quick break or leisurely afternoon. The reasonably priced menus du jour, delicious ice cream desserts, and well-presented coffees make it a favorite lunch spot for many. Visitors have praised the seafood poke bowl and highly recommend trying the ice cream, especially the sorbet varieties.
We had great ice cream in the shade sitting below trees and right next to the ferry departure. The service was great and did not hesitate to pull several tables together for our nine person group.
Benjamin L — Google review
Upsetting and insulting experience. I wanted to dine here, because my travelbook recommended it. Beside a few older couples the terrace was basically empty. My boyfriend was on the way and I chose a nice table at the square. The very rude waiter made me leave the table, because it was a larger table. He laughed with disdain and surprise that I even considered sitting there. He pointed me to a table in the back and told me to sit there. I thanked him and he even got pissed. I felt very uncomfortable because he was very rude (not the french directness, but really insulting). Bad vibes at this spot.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!
The food was somewhat okey, but while the place was mostly empty except for some boomers, the waiters were extremely rude, insulting and derogatory. After asking for a manager they said there weren't any available (I think he was inside some some tax stuff).
Terrible burnt overpriced coffee.
We were charged 10euros for black coffee with ice.
Good experience until I was given the bill. They tried to add 2x desserts valued at €18, which should have been included in the Menu Corse. When I pointed it out the staff member at the cash register, left asked a waiter and I was told that it was a mistake and the bill was adjusted accordingly.
For a satisfying break at an outdoor cafe overlooking Bastia's ferry port, or just inside the art-nouveau-decorated interior restaurant, Café au Palais des Glaces is a pleasant spot for a quick pause, or a nice place to while away an afternoon.
Reasons that Cafe au Palais des Glaces is my husband's go-to lunch spot when working out of his Bastia office include the reasonably priced, delicious menus du jour, ice cream desserts and coffees all attractively presented with low-key good service. I love that one can have lunch there long after long most other places have stopped serving lunch for the day. Open year round both locals and tourists frequent Café au Palais des Glaces.
Standard taste, very small portions (gnocchi)...and expensive.

Nestled in a charming location overlooking the harbor, Restaurant Les Affranchis is a delightful culinary gem that offers an inviting atmosphere and a menu brimming with flavor. Known for its diverse selection of healthy starters and hearty meat dishes, this restaurant shines particularly when it comes to land-and-sea combinations and skewers. Diners can expect frequent updates to the menu, ensuring fresh options are always available.
Restaurant that is intimate, has character that is paired with delicous food. We finished our meal with Tarte Tatin which was so worth the wait to get. It was stunning and showed the talent and love with which they prepared the food for us. The Tatin will forever remain a life long memory of this trip. Music selection was great as well. Wine was good. Views over the harbour are wonderful and just complimented the whole night. Walking around the area is magical end to the evening.

Four restaurants in a row in this beautiful spot high above the port. We chose Les Affranchis because the waitress was so knowledgeable about the food, and suitability for coeliacs. My seafood fricasee was one of the food highlights of my trip to Corsica.
I came, saw, and ate the 500g entrecote! Excellent place, highly recommended! 👍🏻
I came across this place walking in the Citadel in May 2024. I was looking for a place that served a particular dish. There were a couple of guys sitting outside. One of them - turns out he was the owner - told me the dish was out of season (later confirmed by two other places). After walking around for a bit, I headed back, ordered a couple of classic Corsican dishes, and a glass of red. The food was fantastic and copious. The wine excellent. The owner – Andy, I think –is gruff, incredibly welcoming, and very entertaining once the conversation starts flowing. It felt like his space - home even - and not some generic touristy spot. Ended up at the bar speaking to him and a few other customers for nearly 3 hours. In short, go there! I'll definitely go back.
Great spot on top of the Bastia citadel, food was really good and recipes well thought, also generous, no hesitation to go back there one day
Not many words needed. This place is extraordinary! A phenomenal view, best service that you can get and amazing food. Looking for a place that makes your evening unforgettable? This is the restaurant you look for!
Very nice position with nice view. I had a dish called "Squid and Chorizo". Nice idea but it was definitely too salty! Honestly I could not eat to the end.. The quality/price was acceptable, a bit too expensive for what we had. A final negative note to the service: the two waiters were friendly, but unfortunately always busy and difficult to reach. No-one came to ask if we like it or not. And we waited almost half an hour to have the bill! We asked two times until we decided to make a "block" at the entrance door.. Unbelievable, we left a bit disappointed
We had the strangest experience. First off, in Corsica - don't go anywhere without a reservation because most restaurant apparently don't take tourists, even with the place practically empty.
We were looking for a nice place to eat and with the good reviews for this place we opted for A Casarella. Upon arrival half the restaurant was empty but when we asked for a table, without reservation we were shown the door.
We walked around for a few minutes in the area looking for other options, but as it was a Monday most places were either closed or also asking for a reservation. We found ourselves back at A Casarella and as a joke decided to call - "no problem, when would you like to come?" Seem waiter who showed us the door earlier, without blinking an eye seated us to a table.
Why still 3 stars? We had a fun night, the location is good, the food tasty (but very oily) and the people serving our table were friendly and funny. We won't be back.

Really good sliced meat and cheese from the region. The pasta unfortunately was overcooked and the pesto watered, had a good taste thought (would have given 4 stars otherwise). Good local beer and wine. Strategically placed at the square where the market takes place. Kind and nice staff, always ready with a simple but effective joke.
The meal was good, some dishes were even delicious (aubergine a la parmigiana) but the service wasn't that great: they forget to bring us one dish ,the plates for kids, desserts menu(at the end we abandoned the dessert)...the ideea was that after we have ordered they "forgot' about us. Probably because just one single person was handling the orders and she was overwhelmed. Beside these the location was very nice.
Ordered a Pizza Frutti di Mare and received a pizza with only cheese on it. After asking, the staff took the rest of my pizza away and then told me, that's the way, Pizza Frutti di Mare is served on Corsica. It's not, shame on you.
Great Pizza - Chevre au miel, Canelonis au Bruccio, etc. Nice table over the square , a bit of wait for the season. Prices reasonable
Very nice food and good service. You can eat on a lovely terrace on the square.
Great food, fancy fondue and Hot stone dishes, average Service Level
Great Corsican menu for great value! Very good service as well. Highly recommended

The supermarket is big! Luckily the car park has plenty space.
Just be careful at certain times of the day as it can get really busy!

Excellent, incroyablement réaliste, c'est mon premier, les décors à couper le souffle, notre hôte d'une sympathie et d'un accueil hors du commun tant dans l'humour que le bienveillance, un passionné... Je recommande vivement, j'ai passé un moment inoubliable de complicité avec mes filles. Le prix est à la hauteur du ressenti.
(Translated by Google) The place isn't easy to find (is that part of the experience?) and from the outside it doesn't look like much. But once you get inside, the experience begins. The decor is immersive and the puzzles are well thought out. The person who welcomed us had a touch of madness that added to the fun.
(Original)
Le lieu n’est pas facile à trouver (ça fait partie de l’expérience ?) et de l’extérieur ça ne paye pas de mine. Mais une fois entrés l’expérience est lancée. Les décors sont immersifs et les énigmes bien trouvées. La personne qui nous a accueil avait un grain de folie qui a rajouté au fun.
(Translated by Google) We had a great time! The owner was very nice and made the experience even better! We can't wait to try the other rooms!!
Thank you and see you soon! 🙏🏻

Outdoor Activities
Plage de l'Arinella, located near Bastia, is a beautiful sandy beach that offers a range of family-friendly activities. Visitors can enjoy water sports such as windsurfing and sailing, and there's even a children's playground at the southern end of the beach. The clear waters make it perfect for snorkeling, and there are plenty of opportunities for other activities like jet skiing. Parking is free with shaded areas available, and there are also dining options nearby.
Top beach. Need to stop if you come to Bastia.
Jan F — Google review
This beach appeared to be quite empty in mid-July. Not the cleanest sand and water, but good enough for a short stay and refreshing swim. Public toilet is available. Some kiosks are also available.
A sandy beach approximately 3km south of Bastia. A free mini-bus takes visitors to/from the Bastia Tourist Information Office - runs approximately three times per hour. The walk itself, if you’re up for it, is very picturesque, with frequent benches etc.
The beach itself isn’t pretty - not helped by flooding from the waterspout that hit the area the day before!!! Showers on the beach are provided and there are two bar-cafés selling basic food - hot sandwiches and deep fried offerings. Toilets are available for customers of these establishments only.
If you have a car you wouldn’t visit here.
This is a nice beach but nothing special according to me
Cool beach with many bars and options to water drive
Lot of floating waste in the water, not a very pleasant experience.
Beautiful sandy beach 🏖. Free round shuttle from the tourism office to the place at regular intervals.
There are restaurants and ice cream shops along the beach.
One can shower after swimming or playing on the beach 🏖. However there are no toilets 🚻.
Nice place. It is worth living it.

Fortress
Citadelle de Bastia, also known as Citadella di Bastia, is a charming place with lovely restaurants and beautiful surroundings near the old port. Visitors can use an elevator or take the beautiful stairs to explore the area. The citadel features a delightful herb garden offering stunning views of the old harbor. It's recommended to take the elevator by the harbor for easy access. The site offers a magical experience with great views of the old port and city, making it well worth a visit.
These tiny streets are very cool to explore, eventually leading down to the harbour. Quite a few little cafes around with very friendly owners.
Johan G — Google review
Hidden behind the city walls is the old part of the town. Here was the power centre of Republic of Genoa over the island. Explore the narrow streets, enjoy the view on harbor/marina now, have a coffee, spend a nice afternoon.
The old Citadel has lots of hidden bars amongst the narrow streets.
Plenty to see and lots of informative boards around the area.
Museum close by and well worth a visit but check opening times (12-00 to 14:00 closed).
A number of very good cafés and restaurants near the main square and good views over the marina.
Great spot to dinghy to shore from your boat on anchor. Metal rings for locking if needed. Great walking trail and access to town.
Open space to enjoy beautiful views of Bastia
Nice to visit , good panoramique to bastia , and little beach in front to elevator
Beautiful landmark, please come at any time to have this sight of a lifetime, unmatched anywhere else on Earth
Historic district of the city, interesting overall

Great cathedral from end of 15th century. The most important altar is a Maria's, entirely made of silver. And lovbedthe one in back, made of stone, John the Baptist with Jesus.
Rok S — Google review
Beautiful cathedral in Bastia, close to The Citadel. Both French and Italian influences.
I particularly loved the ceremonial hats of the former bishops (all of whom are now buried in the crypt) suspended from the arches by both sides of the choir.
Really peaceful - until the peace was ruined by a coach load of loud-speaking, camera-flash using tourists. Would have given five stars if they had someone on hand to prevent such disrespect behaviour.
Great place
It has a cat guarding the entrance!
Nice atmosphere
(Translated by Google) A beautiful cathedral which houses several beautiful paintings, a magnificent altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary and above all a silver statue for the Virgin Mary.
The only small downside, the coin mechanism system to be able to light the cathedral. Of course it pays for the electricity but when some people come home and the light goes out, they think it's closing... Funny.
(Original)
Une belle cathédrale qui abrite plusieurs beaux tableaux, un magnifique autel dédié à la Vierge Marie et surtout une statue en argent pour la Vierge Marie.
Le seul petit bémol, le système de monnayeurs pour pouvoir éclairer la cathédrale. Certes cela paye l'électricité mais quand certains rentrent et que la lumière s'éteint, ils pense que c'est la fermeture... Cocace.

Museum
Specialty Museums
Nestled within the historic Palais des Gouverneurs, the Musée de Bastia - Museu di Bastia serves as a captivating gateway into the rich tapestry of Bastia's past. This prominent museum showcases an array of exhibits that delve into the city's political and cultural evolution, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Its striking orange facade is hard to miss, especially when you find yourself at Place du Donjon, which also sets the stage for further exploration of the citadel.
A must see place in Bastia: its history together with that of Corsica are fascinatingly explained, with lots of local artists and personalities represented here! Superb ticket price (5 euros) that gives you access to the rooftop of the museum (good views of the city and a small garden).
Ricard G — Google review
Not very tourist friendly, starting from the receptionist, who doesn't speak basic English to all artifacts that are not clearly labelled and everything is in French, or Corsican dialect. They are also not very well lit. The view it's lovely from the gardens and from the windows.
The museum showcased a rich tapestry of artifacts and paintings spanning the past few centuries of Bastia’s history, offering glimpses into the lives of the city’s elite and, curiously, a nod to Napoleon IV.
The layout was well-lit and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to navigate. The staff were doing their thing, pleasant enough, and mildly helpful in that “I’m technically here” kind of way.
One notable drawback: the artifact descriptions were only in French. While the broader section summaries had English translations, the treasures themselves remained mysteriously untranslated. A few English captions could go a long way in opening the experience to a wider world.
A lovely museum that has explanations in English, Italian, French and local Corsu.
For the price of 5€, you stsr to understand this politically relevant city through time, and even see it evolve throughout that time. It was an interesting visit, and to see the cultural and political influence Corsica and Bastia had on the island and regions around.
A lovely rooftop garden makes for a perfect retreat.
Wonderful museum of Bastiais history. Lots of beautiful and unique artifacts. Super cool walk through the citadelle, with a viewing plaza at the top. Description panels for artifacts are mostly in French, but historical explanations are in French, Italian, English and Corsican. Definitely will visit again!
It is cheap and has AC so it is definitely a good choice in a summer afternoon. The permanent exposition is quite bland but the current ( August 2025) Napoleone IV exposition was interesting and talked about a lesser know (by me) historical tragic figure.
The museum was really easy to walk through, the permanent collection was very good, even if I would have liked to get a bit more informations about the paintings. (Such as the dimensions, informations about the stories behind them ect and not only about the painters).
My friend and I went there mainly for the new temporary exposition about ‘Napoleon IV’ (Napoleon IV, le prince Corse oublié), which was really interesting, had a lot of pieces, a lot of informations ect about that dear ‘Napoleon IV’ and even clothing pieces which were beautiful.
The staffs of the museum were really kind, professional and guided us when we got lost while looking for the garden 🤣
The only flaw was the path of the visit which was a bit messy, you had to follow number to find where you had to go next (and that was a good idea instead of signs) but also you could go how you liked and end from room 10 (per exemple) to room 14 in a single step, making it easy to pass some parts.
Beside that it was perfect, a really good experience.
The woman on the reception its very not kind. And you cant use the toilet. She is more toilet workers that women in the reception. Napeolon exhibition its about 3/5

Jardin Romieu

Garden
The Romieu Garden, established in 1890, is currently undergoing restoration to reconnect with the citadel and revive its role as a leisure destination. Accessible via the monumental Romieu Stairs, this picturesque garden offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Bastia. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll amidst lush greenery and find some shade under the large trees. Although it's closed off at one end, it's still a lovely spot to relax and take in the sunset.
Beautiful gardens just down the old citadel, you have a nice view of the old port and some variety of trees and flowers with descriptions. There’s a lot of steps, but I totally recommend going here if you’re touring the town center!

Nice and quiet but closed off at the end
Great sea view
From the top you have a nice view on the old harbor.
Lovely place to watch the sunset.
Quiet Place and Great view

Restaurant
Chez Vincent is a must-visit in Bastia, located at 12 rue St. Michel with a terrace offering stunning views of the harbor. The restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring Corsican cuisine, pizzas, burgers, fish dishes, and more. The cozy stop is known for its inventive Mediterranean cuisine and charming decor.
This place is fantastic. I stumbled upon it as I was exploring the Citadelle. One way up is the elevator from the port level. Then a short spiral staircase et Voila! Staff was super. They were kind about our lack of French language skills. Seated us alfresco on a beautiful night. The maitre d works really hard to accommodate all the guests. The gentleman at the cocktail bar was super cool. I had two Martinis. Superb. We had some scorpionfish ceviche, fish of the day (dorade) and Supreme de Poulet. Very savory and delicious. Finished off with a liqueur de myrte. Delicious! Go here! Great view of the port. Very lively, energetic and fun.
Dominic C — Google review
The setting is great and the view wonderful I ordered the wrong meal - and it did not appear tasty or delicious. It could have been arranged more beautiful. So mush meat. I miss that the menu is in English. Only one person spoke a little English.
If you make the trip to the Citadel, look for this fantastic restaurant. If you get a fine day and sit outside the view is beautiful. Service was friendly and English speaking. Food was delicious. This is the goats cheese on focaccia with a side salad. The only downside was the chicken they added was very dry.
View of the seaside. Nice breeze. Attentive staffs. Delicious food. Pizza was great, soft dough. Burger was tasty but a bit salty. Beef Wellington was with perfect cooking.
Excellent ceviches and local cocktails.
Definitevly worth the price 😍
If you reach the port, go into the jardin romieu, when you see the gallery go up and get ready for the view
Nice Restaurant with a beautiful view over the port of Bastia.
Friendly staff, eventhough with slight trouble if your not french.
My husband and I have experienced one of the most pleasant eating experiences at this wonderful restaurant. The flavor profile of the food (we had fish and veal tartare), the presentation, the kindness of the staff (Camille and Sous chef Damian) combined with a wonderful evening view of the harbor made this a truly unforgettable experience. We will be back!!
Excellent place, although knowing very well the Napolitan pizzas, I was sceptic to order here either pizza or calzone. I am happy I did it, it was not a dissapointment, but great surprise. Very good food for good price, good service, friendly English speaking stuff.
Highly recommanded to anyone hungry looking for a shade during the visit of Citadella.

We were lucky to get a table early enough for lunch. Very soon all tables were taken.
No restaurant around can beat that price: 17 euro a menu.
Food was really good and portions were big enough.
Service was ok and as fast as it can get when all tables are taken.
Salad was not bad but thé fish was not cooked well :/
lively place, great food and atmosphere.. loved my vegetarian cannoli with rice and salad with dijon dressing
Love this little cafe within the fort walls. It has good coffee, food, at sane pricing (for a change). Well located too. But most of all, a really friendly and warm staff that make the whole vibe and experience so warm and friendly, a rarity in such busy places.
Great place mainly due to the beautifull. surrounding... Food ok and service good.
Perfect place! Taste Food , normal costs , smile from everyone. Good place when You have to spend Time with children , big square , hidden from the sun.
Moulles were great! Salad de Chevre was amazing! Very good atmosphere! I would recommend to everybody. They have to compete with restaurants with better view, but they deserve your trust!

Keno G — Google review
4 star resort and spa? Avoid. The ac doesn't work. The rooms are small and in need of refurbishment. The 'Spa' features are low rent. The massage, for example, a joke.
No idea why it gets such good reviews. Avoid at all costs. If it was priced at 50 percent, you might stay one night on transit, in a pinch.
The location is in a kind of industrial zone 20 mins drive from Bastia.
The receptionist was very friendly, but apart from that our stay was disappointing. The Spa Area is just a small swimming pool and our room could have needed a renovation (the bathroom fittings were partially broken, the TV Screen was heading towards the Window and couldn’t be moved and the seal at the balcony door was partly gone) All in all extremly overpriced in my opinion.
The staff and restaurant are perfect... But the hotel is not well located (especially if you do not have a car). The restaurant on the beach can be reached thanks to the hotel personnel driving back and forth and you can spend a lovely day at the beach, eating yummy things in a great environment (the downstairs is better than the tapas upstairs).
All in all I found it very expensive given that we had a small room on the second floor facing a parking lot but I liked the beach part and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff very much
Bedbugs! I saw them in the room and left. The staff is unhelpful. The place is mismanaged. They didn’t seem to care and had no manager available.
This hotel was an incredible value. Blown away by #1 the spacious rooms #2 the delicious restaurant #3 the free cookies #4 the views #5 the friendly English/french/Corsican speaking staff and #6 the pricetag. I had low expectations considering what we paid but I will definitely be staying here again the next trip to the Haute-Corse. The spa services were great. The pool was overrun with children most of the time, but I didn't hate it. Super close to a lovely beach and if you're facing the water, you'll have the most marvelous sunsets and moonrises. Very glad we came!
After spending 10 days around the Cote d'Azur & the formula 1 in Monaco I booked this hotel for a change of pace. First off as others have said the service is 5 star all the staff went out of there way to help you, always a please & thankyou. I arrived & was given a map & the lift was broke but some one carried my suitcase up 4 floors for me. The food in the restaurant at night is exceptional, very surprised, the breakfast is average. The carpet on the stairs is old and unpleasent & the doors connecting the floors to the stairs is very close, 1 step out if you are not looking, you will fall down the stairs. My room was nice, big & clean, the hot tub in the spa was warm but the swimming pool was very cold. The beach was a 15 minute walk away & is nice enough but no public toilets anywhere, so I had to keep walking back to the hotel. The big downside for me is the area, no shops, restaurants or any civilization, I got quite bored after my first day. All in all its a lovely hotel & worth a stay but, if the weather is bad you are really stuck with nothing.
Really good level of the hotel. Everything here was top. Room, breakfast, wellness, garden, staff of the hotel... Only the location of the hotel is a disadvantage. It is in not very interesting part of Bastia To the beach it's not a short way. Because of the highway around the shore, you need to walk 1,2 km. Through one underpass, through railway station, 100 m along the rails etc. To the nearest supermarket it is 1,4 km. Without a car it is not very comfortable here.
