Dominating the town and the beautiful curved bay of Calvi is the stunning
Genoese Citadel. Dating back to the 15th century, this old fortress town is the oldest part of Calvi. Wander the
alleyways and narrow cobbled streets between the ancient vertical houses, and you cannot help but be captivated
by the atmosphere of the Citadel.
Our collection of Citadel apartments are situated close to the famous
Chez Tao, a popular piano bar and restaurant, and the Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste which stands at the highest
point of the Citadel. From here one can enjoy some of the best views over the Gulf of Calvi, whilst still just
a few minutes' stroll from the bustling town below and the fabulous shallow sandy beach that stretches for over
5km.
APARTMENT CARLA
- 2 bedrooms, sleeps 2-4 people
Situated on the third floor of this ancient old building, the door opens
onto the spacious living dining room which has been arranged with a comfortable seating area and television at
one end, and a dining table and chairs at the other with two sets of large windows with lovely views. The kitchen
has been hand-built by a local craftsman and boasts all the modern appliances one would expect of an apartment
of this standard; full cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and of course a cafetiere for morning coffee on the
balcony. There are two double bedrooms; one with en-suite bathroom and toilet and the other with en-suite shower
room and toilet. Both bedrooms have access the balcony which runs the length of the apartment and is the perfect
position from which to watch the yachts slowly making their way back to the harbour. A superb contrast between
contemporary modern furnishings and the historic character of the building, Apartment Carla is the perfect choice
for two couples or those who like a little extra space.

The Citadel is the oldest part of Calvi and remains very unspoilt with
steep roads winding between high and impressive houses, so these apartments are not particularly suited to the
elderly or anyone with walking difficulties. However, there is so much to see and do in Calvi and the surrounding
areas, that many visitors tell us that a week is simply not long enough! The magnificent sandy beach with its wide
range of water sports and beachside cafes is an obvious attraction, but be sure to take time to discover the towns
and villages nearby either by car or using the little train that runs along the coast - an experience in itself!
The narrow streets behind the port are home to a variety of interesting boutiques and excellent restaurants, and
the bars lining the port are the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif before dinner whilst you listen to the sound
of the water gently lapping the yachts moored in the marina.
Linen is included in the price of the rental.
