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 MAMIE
- 3 bedrooms, sleeps 2-6 people
With original terracotta tiled floors and vaulted ceilings, Apartment
Mamie is perhaps the most impressive of our Citadel collection. Larger than the other apartments, the ground floor
entrance opens onto the separate kitchen which has been fully equipped with full cooker, fridge-freezer, dishwasher,
tumbledryer and washing machine making it practical for a family as well a couples. French doors from the kitchen
and living room open onto the balcony which enjoys superb views over Calvi Bay to the mountains beyond, and Chez
Tao - the famous piano bar. A door leads to the main living/dining area which has been comfortably furnished with
a sofa and armchairs, and a television should you ever tire of the views. There is one bedroom with double bed
and another with twin beds. The third bedroom can be arranged so that it can become either a second living room
or a third double bedroom depending on the needs of the guests. The bedrooms enjoy views between the tall ancient
buildings with the deep blue of the Mediterraean peeping through. There is a bathroom with toilet and a separate
shower room with toilet. The pale cream walls accentuate the rich colours of the soft furnishings which are complemented
by the original terracotta tiles, lending Apartment Maime a relaxing ambiance.

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.
