The room
Our room was very functional with a large comfortable bed and a wardrobe. The decor was sober and uncluttered, highlighting raw materials such as the metal of the lamps and the wood of the furniture.
A small table surrounded by 3 wicker chairs faced the bed, an ideal spot for reading, taking a short break or sipping a hot drink before bedtime.
Our room was very spacious and offered us a truly unique view that helped us feel relaxed and at ease. A landscape worthy of a painter’s canvas!

The bathroom
The bathroom features a walk-in shower, hairdryer, washbasin and mirror. We also had a small window that brought natural light into the room. The walls were decorated with pretty mosaic motifs that brightened up the bathroom. Finally, towels were neatly rolled up on a small table when we arrived.

THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE
On one of our last trips to Europe, a hacker stole our credit card details while we were using a hotel WiFi.
So our trip began with a “card blocked” call… Not funny at all!

The restoration
At this inn, you can enjoy a buffet breakfast every morning. However, the establishment does not offer complementary catering during the rest of the day. Restaurants and bars can be found in the town of Saint-Florent, a 5-minute drive from the inn. If you’re willing to drive a little further, Bastia is just 30 minutes away, with a wide choice of places to eat and go out.
