Stay at Hôtel Alivi Di Santa Giulia (Porto-Vecchio): review + photos

by Emmanuel ROBINSON, Region Lovers | 23 June 2023 | no intrusive ads, no sponsored content, just some affiliate links - if you use them, we get a small commission (read more)

Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia in Porto-Vecchio is a very pleasant establishment where we enjoyed our stay.

Its main quality is the incredible view it offers over the Gulf of Santa Giulia, one of the most beautiful in Corsica.

In this article, we invite you to take a closer look at the hotel and its services, and to share our impressions with you through our many photos.

Why stay at Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia

Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia is one of our favorite luxury hotels in Porto-Vecchio. Here, in our opinion, are its main assets:

  • Close to one of Corsica’s most beautiful beaches (Santa Giulia): in just a few minutes on foot, you’ll be on one of Corsica’s most beautiful beaches, Santa Giulia, with its turquoise waters.
  • Elevated view of the bay: the hotel is set on a hill with a breathtaking view of the gulf and pond of Santa Giulia.
  • The rooms are warmly decorated and the common areas are simply furnished, so you’ll quickly feel at home while enjoying this exceptional setting.

Is the Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia worth it? Our review

If you’re looking for a comfortable hotel where you can simply enjoy one of Corsica’s most beautiful beaches, the Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia is ideal.

Santa Giulia beach offers a wide range of water sports (water skiing, towed buoys, paddle…), but you can also simply enjoy its translucent waters, naturally protected by the gulf.

Located a little way from Porto-Vecchio, it offers a much quieter option, yet remains a 15-minute drive from the city center. One of the best places to stay in Porto-Vecchio.

Decoration and atmosphere

Although we found the decor a little conservative for our taste, it offers a warm and welcoming setting. In just a few minutes, you’ll feel at home and can start enjoying this unique setting.

Its human scale (just 10 rooms) further enhances the cozy feel of the place.

The room

Our room was contemporary, bright and spacious, with natural hues and an omnipresent wood that created a beautiful contrast between turquoise and brown.

The view from our room’s private balcony was wonderful. At a glance, we could take in the whole gulf of Santa Giulia, with the hotel’s beautiful garden in the foreground! Enough to keep you contemplative until the sun goes down…

The room was equipped with a kettle and coffee machine.

The bathroom

Our bathroom, in very pleasant ochre tones, had a walk-in shower.

A bathrobe and slippers were provided, along with Biological hygiene products. We were able to try out their surprising plant soap with a floral aroma!

Pool towels are also available.

The breakfast

Breakfast at the Hotel Alivi Di Santa Giulia in Porto-Vecchio is a buffet breakfast featuring mouth-watering local produce such as Corsican cheese and charcuterie, as well as Corsican yoghurt made with sheep’s milk.

We also enjoyed home-made products such as cakes, the omelette of the day and a quiche, curiously offered in cake form.

There was a wide choice of sweet (fresh cut fruit, viennoiserie, 4 types of bread, from Chia seeds to almond milk) and savory (cheese, charcuterie, eggs, sausage) products.

The setting is very pleasant, in the hotel garden, always enjoying the view. A perfect way to start the day, don’t you think?

Equipment and common areas

The hotel has a large, heated swimming pool with a terrace and sun loungers, so you can make the most of the Corsican sun.

The hotel offers a ride to the beach in an authentic Méhari, something for those nostalgic for Citroën’s famous “dromedary”.

Finally, pets are welcome on request (no connection with our previous remark!).

The restoration

The hotel does not offer any restaurants, but you can find a number of restaurants close to the hotel, including La Terrasse, A festa, Santa Marina and Le Fort.

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!
