If you don’t want to read the whole list of hotels and why we love them, here’s our quick answer with our favorites in every corner of Saint-Florent, and why you’ll have a wonderful stay here!
Our favorite hotel in Saint-Florent: Hôtel La Roya

Best hotel in the mountains: La Dimora
But our biggest favorites are the hotels in the mountains above Saint-Florent. The village of Oletta is just a 15-minute drive away (fairly easy road). Here, for example, you’ll find the Hotel La Dimora, one of the most charming we’ve tested in Corsica. We loved the natural setting with its stones and trees, and the serenity of the place.

Best hotel near the center: Tettola
Most hotels are located along the beach to the north of the town center. There are quite a few 3-star hotels. We prefer the Hotel Tettola, with its unobstructed views, beachside pool and excellent breakfast with homemade cakes.

Do not make
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!
