Fantastic Stay
We loved our stay here. The property was spacious and fantastically equipped. The pool was lovely and we we had no noise from other properties on the plot which were well screened. Service from the staff was first class. You only had to ask and they were always willing and able to help, whether it be booking restaurants, boat trips, borrowing parasols, extra beach towels or helping you with the local area. Francoise headed up the reception team and she spoke excellent English. Everyone was also really friendly. Calvi is an excellent area. It is not essential to hire a car, but if you do, there must be at least seven or eight excellent sandy beaches within 30 minutes drive as well as lovely villages in the hills and mountains and forested areas with streams. We took a 4 hour speed boat tour along the coast with Calvi Evasion which was fantastic and ate at many excellent restaurants all within 30 minutes drive. The property is situated off a quiet inland road about 25 minutes walk from the town and 15 minutes walk from the local beach. There is a big Casino supermarket about two minutes drive away and a lovely new Spar supermarket about 7 minutes drive which has an excellent fishmonger, ideal for the BBQ. The Spar supermarket is open until 8.30 pm on Sunday which is useful for Sunday transfers. We ordered breakfast items such as pain au chocolate and pain au raison plus bread from Villas Mandarine and they were left fresh at our door each morning. We would love to return.
