The stunning beaches and breathtaking mountains of Corsica

Apartment Mattéo - 1 bedroom, sleeps 2 people
Character property, sea views, television, beach nearby

 

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 MATTÉO - 1 bedroom, sleeps 2 people

Like many of the apartments in the Citadel, Apartment Mattéo enjoys an unusual layout, ideal for couples, which only adds to its character and charm. Situated on the third floor of this ancient old building, the door opens onto a little hallway which leads onto the open plan kitchen/dining room with fireplace feature. The kitchen has been fully fitted with all the modern conveniences one would expect of an apartment of this standard such as full oven, dishwasher, washing machine and cafetiere. There is a comfortable seating area off to one side which has been furnished with a comfortable sofa and a television if you don't want to venture out in the evenings. Large picture windows offer lovely views over the bay and the red tiled roofs of the surrounding buildings which are particularly pretty when the sun starts to set and they take on a russett hue. There is a spacious double bedroom with windows on both sides to make the most of the lovely sea views and a separate shower room and toilet. With a combination of original features, and pale natural decor, Apartment Mattéo offers a calm relaxing retreat from the bustle of Calvi below.

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.
