Comments from previous guests...
' just wanted to say how much we have enjoyed staying at Casa
Altiani over the last two weeks and thank you for letting us your beautiful house. Of course we knew there were
mountains, but we were not prepared for the enormity of them or to have such amazing views from the house. It was
utterly breath-taking! We got out and about a lot and I think we got quite a feel for the place and loved it. Lots
of long walks, mainly after 4pm(it was very hot!), wonderful river scrambles in the Tartagine, beach trips, two
lovely Corsican concerts, one in Corte and one in the local church, the village Fireman’s Ball and many delicious
meals. It was also super to share it with two great family friends. I never got around to writing in the visitors
book, although I fear my youngest daughter did (in a rather excitable manner!). I don’t know how you tear yourselves
away from the place, but I suppose knowing you can return does help!'
'Just wanted to say thank you for the use of the most beautiful
house ever! We had a wonderful stay. It's a good job we knew what to look for, having gazed at your internet pictures,
otherwise we might have struggled to find it! But..we managed....and wow! We were overwhelmed by the beauty of
the house and setting. We never managed to track down the butcher's van so had a rather veggie week but the fruit
and veg van was great. Did some stunning walks and enjoyed lots of lovely swims in your pool. We all want to go
again and are negotiating with husbands, children, grandchildren etc. Next time we will stock up with food before
we leave Calvi! My second week at the Rateau Bavoir was very different ... It was fantastic for the children but
I had been spoilt by the Altiani experience! I'm afraid we did break one of the smaller wine glasses, I'm sorry.
Apart from that, everything was perfect. I've never known a better equipped place (much better than my own home)
and I have never had such a wonderful view from a bedroom. I used to just stand a breathe it in every morning.
I do hope we can go again. Obviously I will contact you if we come up with a plan. Thanks for eveything.'
We are now ready to leave after a perfect stay in your beautiful
villa. Three generations, 4 children and our son in law was together here in a peaceful week, walking, bathing
and enjoying the corsican landscape, sunsets and sundowns ect.. Especially your house has been a very positive
experience. After having rented many houses over the years, this is the first, really
being what we hoped for, when looking at the pictures from the winter darkness and planning the perfect holiday
of summer. The house is very tastefully furnished and beautiful in its mix of new and old. We really enjoyed the
pool too. We have had a great holiday in your house and will certainly consider it next year (2, 3 or 4 weeks minimum...)
when again planning the perfect holiday:-) Thank you so much for the time in the house.'
'I thought I would drop you a short line to say a huge thanks
for making Casa Altiani available to us for our fortnight in Corsica. I suppose we were once clients of yours before,
when we travelled with Corsican Places to Lama. Four years later it is still an island that has something very
magical about it " especially as you leave the coast and head towards the mountains. We loved every minute.
Casa Altiani is equipped to such a high standard. But more than that, the house feels loved. The pool was simply
fantastic and the infinity edge came as a surprise bonus that didn't fail to make a jaw or two drop. The house
has a real sense of being away from it all and in an authentic village location. You must be very proud. Once again,
thanks for letting us into your slice of Corsican heaven.'
'What a wonderful place for a holiday - all we hoped for, and a lot more: we've all fallen in love with the place
and there are tears this morning on leaving. Huge thanks to Xaviere for all her help. /too many lovely places to
mention all of them, but we particularly enjoyed the walk from the church here down to the river, driving through
the Asco Gorge, Sant'Antonino, the beach just west of Ile rousse, and dinner last night at A Terrazza. - fantastic!
Will definitely return.'
'Really fantastic villa in a truly beautiful part of the world. Our week here has passed much too quickly - lovely
weather, good food, wine and company. Plenty of exercise. Happy children and relaxed parents. We will return!'
'Thank you for a wonderful holiday home - solitude, scenery, hiking, kites, electric storms, swimming, bakery and
biscuit factory etc. etc. Calvi beach splendid for younger members but something for everyone from one year old
birthday boy to 70 year old.'
'Had a fantastic week walking, drinking and eating too much. Casa Altiani is a fab house and we've enjoyed every
minute. Magic time - thanks very much. Don't want to return to reality!'
'This is a long overdue e'mail to say what a magical house you
have in Corsica & thank-you so much for allowing us to stay in it. We had a superb time & the house proved
perfect in terms of being beautifully
cool, having such character & brilliant living space & wow - what a pool & a view. We befriended a
no of people in the village (largely by virtue of our blonde children who they seemed in awe of); met the donkeys;
consumed far too many croissants & pain au chocolat from the shop/baker and walked our socks off in the mornings
& then spent lazy afternoons by the pool. There was then much giggling & story telling late into the
evenings - all in all perfect. Sadly we didn't quite make it to the Fireman's Ball though! Once again - many thanks
for the use of your beautiful home.'
