Hotel La Villa, Corsica
ON A CALVI HILLSIDE High on a hillside above the historic port of Calvi, on the western coast of Corsica, the Hotel La Villa has been created as the ultimate holiday oasis. Once a monastery, the villa’s current incarnation has translated monastic simplicity into its own brand of simple luxury. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a harmonious whole with clean lines, abundant natural light and an air of refined elegance.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW With views of Calvi, the rugged Corsican coast or the spectacular mountains rising beyond, the rooms and suites at La Villa are havens of tranquillity and calm. Chic and contemporary design using timeless materials – exposed stone, polished wood and terracotta floors – is softened with muted drapery, cream accessories and fine works of art. Separate villas in the hotel grounds have private pools and terraces.
AWARD-WINNING CUISINE On a terrace above the pool, offering spectacular views of the twinkling lights of Calvi, L'Alivu Restaurant makes an irresistible dinner venue. Impeccable service and fine wines complement the Michelin-starred cooking of Christophe Bacquié, one of Corsica's finest chefs. Using local and seasonal produce to its best advantage, Bacquié brings to life the intense flavours of the island.
PLEASURE AND PASTIMES As well as the stunning infinity pool, La Villa also boasts a tennis court, a fitness centre and a private beach, some two kilometres from the property. In the beautiful verdant gardens surrounding the hotel relaxation is assured, while a spacious Anne Semonin Spa offers the ultimate in aromatherapy massages and personally-tailored beauty treatments. Explorations of the surrounding area will reveal hilltop towns, the citadel of Calvi and its lively waterfront or the secluded Gulf of Girolata.
All trips can be tailor-made. Regional departures available. For a quotation or for more information call 0870 499 0511 or email sales@medexperience.co.uk
