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.

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?

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!
