Good size apparent in a nice location

Posted 10 Sep 2018

Friendly staff who spoke fairly good English. The apartment was spacious and very clean. Came with crockery and cutlery and some pots and pans to use. We weren't aware that we would have to bring our own hand soap which I was a bit annoying on the first day. You are also given one toilet roll and one bin bag. It would of been helpful to know this before arriving. Other than that it was in a good location from Porto-Vecchio, with a nice little beach attached.

DISAPPOINTING AND DISTRESSING

Posted 21 Oct 2016

The setting is beautiful and the position is lovely. Nice beach and superb restaurant, although this is quite expensive, (about 70 euros per person with drinks/wine). Pool is warm and attractive but beware of water catchment trough at the end of the pool as this represents a death trap to a small child. My 6ft 2" Husband would have trouble getting out. Unfortunately the apartments are dated and utilitarian. Note you have to make your own beds on arrival, and there is no room service whatsoever for the week. You can change your towels for 6 euros per person and double bedding for 12 euros. On arrival you have to leave a deposit of 400 euros and any damages or value of missing items may be deducted from this amount. You are requested to confirm an inventory of ALL items in the apartment on your arrival "no later than the next day". On departure this inventory is then physically checked in your presence by a member of staff who comes to your apartment at an agreed time at which point the key is taken, and, if all is satisfactory, you will be refunded your 400 euros. On departure - "your apartment must be left in perfect state of cleanliness". This is also inspected before you leave and if you are not prepared to conform to this request then you can pay extra for an "end of stay cleaning package". (40 euros for one bed and 50 euros for 2 bed). We found the apartments generally uncomfortable/unappealing and the rules and regime wholly distasteful.

Adequate Accommodation - nothing extra

Posted 21 Jul 2015

Pros: Restaurant, Bar and Pool

Cons: Provide some essentials - salt & pepper, 3 or 4 toilet rolls for a week and a couple of extra bin bags.

Location: A hire car is essential. Great beaches, lovely old towns to visit and a great day trip into the mountain.

The accommodation is on the small side and adequate however don't expect any generosity. Bed linen provided but you have to make your own bed. Only supplied one roll of toilet paper and one bin bag for a week - and nothing else. So you have to bring everything, which is quite tricky if you are coming from abroad. The beach was really disappointing as although you have beach sand the water is very shallow and the sea bottom stoney. We weren't able to really get wet. The pool is great. The restaurant is really good, not cheap but good quality. Lovely area to have sundowners. Beware of ordering the fish - it's expensive. Staff helpfulness was mixed. One of the men on the desk was delightful and went the extra mile. However we had a very different response from others on the desk. It may be that we don't speak French. Love Corsica and will return - perhaps not to Paesu Serenu

WE really could not fault this hotel/self catering. They have thought of everything. /even bread and croissant delivery in the morning. Just a little way out of town. 2km. Everything else was excellent.

Residence confortevole con appartamenti puliti e moderni all'interno di una struttura ben curata con molto verde. Tutto il personale alla reception è estremamente gentile ed accogliente e parla italiano. Bella la piscina anche se un po' piccola. Bel ristorante proprio sulla spiaggia con buoni piatti. Campi da tennis disponibili gratuitamente, compresa attrezzatura. Parcheggi ombreggiati a disposizione all'interno della struttura. Posizione comoda per spostarsi in macchina per visitare tutte le spiagge più belle della zona di Porto Vecchio.

Une adresse à garder !

Posted 16 Jun 2023 on Hotels

En bord de plage, calme, tout le confort ! des appartements récents bien équipés, un restaurant donnant sur la plage, piscine à debordement, sans oublier la gentillesse du personnel et leurs petits conseils pour un séjour au top. Petits plus : un supermarché à proximité et un arrêt du bus électrique gratuit pour aller en ville 😀
