La Villa Calvi

Nice location. Bedrooms with small windows and limited sea view. Staff not always professional, particularly for breakfast and dinner. Not a great R&C experience.

Supremely overpriced for what they offer and the location. There’s no beach. The gym is a joke with no bench and nothing but a couple of treadmills. The breakfast has mostly only cereal and some cold meats. Eggs, pancakes and anything you want hot has to be bought!! There was no milk/creamer in the room to make coffe. I asked for some and was charged $9 for it Dinner is perhaps the worst thing about the restaurant. Below average food at Michelin prices. €50 for a plate of vegetables with 3 small carrots and a bunch of bitter radishes. Horrible service too, the waitress kept pushing us to order more even we said we don’t want anything else. The wait staff is mostly all teenagers so the service is spotty. The experienced wait staff is grouchy but the youngsters are sweet even though they understand much English. We went to the other Relais Chateaux for dinner one night and found the service and the food there much, much better. Do not recommend this hotel all if you are from the US and value good service.

I cannot speak highly enough of the one night stay we had in Calvi at this hotel. The restaurant is superb and the hotel perfect with views and a beautiful pool and spa just near to the main Calvi village and Marina yet quietly situated above.

Delightful resort nestled on the hill, with spacious rooms/suites, overlooking the Fortress and bay below. The owner has filled the hotel with many art pieces that are intriguing. Bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. Meals in the dining room were exceptional. The breakfast buffet was also exceptional. The spa and pools were welcoming and relaxing.

The hotel is beautiful; however, I would not recommend and would not go back. FYI (decide for yourself): - Screaming children at the pool every day, all day. If you have screaming children, I assume this is a pro. For us, a con. - There are charges for many things which was unexpected given its a 5* hotel, for example 9 euros additional for eggs, 20+ euro for shuttle to town, 20+ euro for beach chairs. Cons: - Concierge!!: 1) 1 one month before arriving I asked the hotel to arrange a dinner reservation for us on our last night. They did. On the day of the reservation, the restaurant called the hotel to confirm, the hotel called us, and we said yes, we're going. The hotel did NOT call the restaurant back to confirm. So, we drove 20 min to the restaurant where they explained they did not have space for us. La Villa had several times (including night prior) made reservations for guests who did not honor them at this restaurant which is a small operation. After standing there awkwardly for 45 minutes calling the hotel and restaurant, the restaurant was kind enough to accommodate us at a make-shift table. 2) The day prior, we asked the hotel to arrange a reservation for us in the morning. They did not call us until 6pm (why did this take all day). When they called they said its not possible, there is no space. We walked right up to the restaurant and were seated immediately. 3) Another restaurant recommendation we got was not good (less bothered by this as its subjective). - Screaming children Pros/highlights: - lunch at hotel pool - cocktails - breakfast each morning - views, cleanliness - received a free room upgrade due to a cancellation - free parking and EV charging

Beautiful hotel with the great location. Great views from different parts of the hotel. Big, clean and comfortable rooms. Charming pool area and exercise area.Impressive art through all halls of the hotel.
