Is the Hotel Kasano worth it? Our review
The hotel is definitely a worthwhile establishment. We were delighted with many aspects of our stay. First of all, our proximity to the citadel and parking facilities is a real advantage. This made it easy for us to visit the sights and still have a safe place to park our car.
The decor is modern and uncluttered, creating a relaxing atmosphere from the moment we walked through the hotel door. The works of art in the common areas add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the entire establishment.
We were won over by this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

The owners of this luxury establishment wanted to share their taste for art with hotel guests, while offering them a place with a soft, soothing ambience.
Communal areas are airy, with modern designer furniture featuring slim, rounded lines. It’s an inviting place to relax, with light tones and a few colorful objects like chandeliers or painted terracotta pots adding a touch of sparkle.
In addition to large carpets on the floor, the hotel’s walls were adorned with beautiful modern works of art in rounded, bright colors that contrasted with the brightness of the corridors.

The room
Modernity, art and space best characterized our room. We really appreciated the soft, cosy bed, which was hard to get out of in the morning!
The raw materials used for the headboard contrasted with the beige and white colors of the rest of the furniture in the room. Take, for example, this rounded, glittery sconce reminiscent of a seashell.
Beautiful royal blue cushions were placed on our bed to add a touch of color. We also really liked the combination of different furniture shapes, rounded and rectangular, in the room, which gave it real character.
A table and modern designer armchairs were also set up inside, facing the glass door to our private terrace. A practical space, always in a sleek, minimalist style, to store your small belongings, bag, glasses or have a coffee in the bedroom.
In our room, we also found a Nespresso coffee machine, coffee capsules and tea bags, as well as bottles of drinking water and a kettle.
Also, a pool towel was rolled up in a pretty burlap bag on the table in our room. Handy for grabbing a few useful items on your way to the pool!
Our private terrace overlooked the hotel swimming pool on one side, and the bay of Calvi and the citadel on the other. The blue of this stretch of water was particularly relaxing!

The bathroom
We now head for our private bathroom. We loved the brightness of the room, the sober sanitary-white style and the contrast with the blue tiles, reminiscent of certain works by Henri Matisse.
We had a walk-in shower and a large modern washbasin where the basin was light beige and merged with the support below the large mirror that enlarged the room.
Carefully folded bathrobes and slippers were provided on arrival in the room, along with care products.
Another local touch: skincare products from the Corsican cosmetics and perfume brand Casanera, with natural products and essential oils offered as we entered the room.
Finally, the toilet was also installed in our bathroom.

The breakfast
What a treat! Every morning, a buffet breakfast is served, rich in color and local flavors, to delight your taste buds. We enjoyed the variety of sweet and savoury products.
Served in the hotel restaurant, we really enjoyed our breakfast. Even the restaurant was very designer and modern, with large water-green sofas and chandeliers in the shape of large seashells.
The menu includes pastries, pancakes, homemade cakes and various types of bread, as well as dried fruit and cereals to suit all tastes!
In terms of beverages, apple juice and squeezed orange juice were served alongside detox lemon water.
We also had a wide choice of hot drinks with a coffee machine, teas, cappuccinos and infusions.
A charcuterie board and local cheeses were also available on the buffet, along with cheese spreads.
If you like dairy products, you’ll find ewe’s milk yoghurts in a range of flavors from the local Corsica brand, as well as small jugs of milk to enjoy on their own or with a hot drink.
Savoury tarts, comté olive cake with smoked bacon and mint-feta omelette are also on the menu! We really loved the variety of homemade products on offer in this buffet. So, are you ready to feast?
We really took the time to taste all these goodies to build up our strength before our day of sightseeing!

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!
Learn from our mistake, make a small VPN investment to surf without worry.
The restoration
The hotel restaurant is reserved exclusively for the breakfast buffet. You can also enjoy a drink at the hotel bar by the pool or indoors. For a bite to eat, we recommend a visit to Calvi town center.
A little history
Reinventing the hotel business is the wish of Léria and Lolla Ceccaldi, 2 sisters brought up in the hotel business and the art of good hospitality. Passionate, they represent the 3rd generation of a family of hoteliers who cultivate conviviality.
A true family adventure, Hotel Kasano is the fruit of a joint and persevering effort to offer a different hotel experience to the guests who choose this establishment. The 2 sisters also share a strong interest in modern art, which is reflected in the hotel’s furnishings and decor.
