Contemporary villa on the heights of Calvi, five pools facing the gulf and the maquis.
La Villa Calvi
From
737 €
“Five pools spread across the park, each with a view over Calvi bay and the Genoese citadel.”
La Villa Calvi perches on the corniche of Notre-Dame-de-la-Serra, three kilometres from the centre. We count five pools scattered in the Mediterranean park, each offering a different angle on the gulf and the Corsican mountains. The rooms play the card of clean design, white tones and light wood, private terraces for most. The spa offers treatments and massages, we recommend the outdoor cabins under the pines. From 737 € per night, rate justified by the view and the space, less by the service which remains correct without being memorable. The airport shuttle facilitates arrival from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine (15 minutes). An address to disconnect from the continent, provided one accepts the relative isolation ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend La Villa Calvi to couples in their thirties and forties seeking a design retreat away from the crowded villages of Balagne. It is an address for late honeymoons, discreet anniversaries, weeks of remote work in calm with a pool at hand. Families with young children will appreciate the multiple basins and the space, yet the distance from the centre requires a car.
The building
Architecture and interiors
Contemporary villa built in the 2010s, white architecture with clean lines typical of current Mediterranean luxury. Generous volumes, sliding glass bays, teak terraces extending the rooms. Sober materials: polished concrete, bleached wood, natural linen, a few touches of Corsican stone. The ensemble comprises around thirty rooms spread over two levels, integrated into the slope to preserve the views.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The villa restaurant offers a classic Mediterranean menu, Corsican produce and fish from the gulf. Breakfast served on the terrace facing the sea, buffet and à la carte. The main pool bar provides salads and grills during the day. Room service available, practical given the distance from Calvi restaurants.
