Hôtel Cala di Sole

Cala di Sole is a classic beach getaway friendly for couples and families. The salt water pool deck is great for catching some sun and relaxing. The private sand beach is set in an exclusive cove typically with a paillote serving the customers. The cocktails, food and desserts set the standard of care for excellence among Corsican dining and libations. The setting is totally idyllic and just a stones throw to Ajaccio. The sunrise and sunset over the bay with the iles Sanguinaires is picture perfect. Come if you dare. You may never want to leave.

We very much enjoyed staying at this family run boutique hotel. Carl and his staff made us feel very welcome here. As others have mentioned, room decor is simple, but the rooms are comfortable and all have wonderful sea views. You can sleep to the sound of the waves every night! Both the beach and the pool are absolutely perfect, well accommodated with lounge chairs. We were here at the height of the season and never felt crowded at all. I much prefer this to a large, modern and impersonal hotel! There is a pleasant patio, too, where you can enjoy a drink and watch the sun set. There are many good restaurants you can walk to, including the hotel's own restaurant, which is open for both lunch and dinner and serves some of the best food we had in the area. Carl will give you tips on what to do, provide you with beach umbrellas for a picnic out, even, and was there on hand to wave us goodbye when we left. The hotel is located on the scenic route des Sanguinaires. It's a great destination if you want to be close but not in the city's action. We were able to enjoy everything and stay in a hotel which was a holiday in itself, not just a place to sleep. We stayed 5 nights here, perfect to enjoy some relaxed time at the beach as well as get out and see the sights.
