Corsica & Spa Serena Hotel in Calvi

It's a fake five-star, probably three-star level

If you want an outstanding experience, business, couples, family or friends, I recommend this place. I go there since years and it's always a pleasure The food and catering are both perfect with a chef doing the best every day.

For our first trip to Corsica, the hotel and the staff were the ultimate highlight of our journey. We arrived and were told our room was upgraded for free to a sea view which was a lovely surprise. The room was beautiful, with our own private balcony and gorgeous views of Calvi. The bed was huge, and everything very clean and tidy. Mini bar was reasonably priced, refreshed daily and the cleaning staff refreshed all our towels, toiletries and robes daily. They didn’t just clean our room, they neatly tidied for us by putting shoes away, folding our clothes and making the bed which was a lovely touch! We were given free use of the spa facilities which include a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, ice fountain, robes and shower. The spa is booked in 1hr slots so that you have it to yourselves, and is thoroughly cleaned and refreshed after every use. We booked in on one night at 8pm and they told us we could have it for as long as we liked as we were the last ones to use it for the evening. On the Friday the weather wasn’t too great so we tried to book in early evening but it was fully booked (our fault for not planning ahead as we knew the weather wasn’t going to be great), but they rung up to our room and told us they’d had a cancellation and could use it within the hour! We even booked in for treatments and they were just as incredible and relaxing. On one day, we were determined to find a local river area with some wild pools and gorges to go swimming in that wouldn’t mean travelling down some of the incredibly high balcony roads we’d come across on previous days.The lady at reception kindly recommended Forest de Bonifatu which was a 30 minute drive from the hotel, printing off a map and showing us how to get there. She even called the rangers at the forest to check it would be open for us which it was, and we had the most amazing time trekking through the forest and doing some wild swimming! She even remembered we’d requested a recommendation on where to go and on our return, went out of our way to stop us in the hotel lobby to ask if we enjoyed it which we thought was so sweet. All the staff were so attentive, friendly and couldn’t do more to help. The food is delicious - breakfast has a wonderful variety of fruit, pastries, cheese, ham etc - all fresh and delicious. You’ll notice there’s alot of stray cats in the area, and one of the male hotel staff fed one of the cats some cheese that was staring at us from the pool patio which as a huge animal lover I absolutely loved! You can tell they really take pride in their hotel and love what they do. The dinner menu was stunning- from the zucchini to the cheese board. We were given small plates of starters that we didn’t pay for, and free bread with the meal. The atmosphere was gorgeous and the whole hotel smells wonderful from the diffusers they use in the spa which I will definitely be ordering some of!! All in all, if you are staying near Calvi you absolutely must stay in this hotel. You are made to f

The hotel is well located in a quiet location with a view of the sea. The service is perfect: professional and friendly. The chef's dishes are delicious, beautiful and makes you want to taste them. The rooms are pleasant and clean. We were made very welcome by the whole team and the director. I highly recommend this hotel.

We really enjoyed the place, everything was perfect, very good service, very nice and kind team, we loved the food, the rooms are very clean and calm. It was a real pleasure to be there for four days.

Everything was perfect, especially the food. The team jept smiling, we did a seminary for 4 days, they were there for us each time we needed them. The place is great, with mountains above, big swimming pool also.

The staff was wonderful! The area is very calm and nice. Perhaps the interior design in the rooms feels a bit unmodern, but it was a nice room with a large balcony and a spacious bathroom. It was also very clean. The bed was too firm for our taste though (wich is very common in hotels..) Nice poolarea, but I wish smoking was not allowed, and there were lots of wasps in the outside dining area, wich almost made it impossible to sit there (was stung by a wasp the first day, never happened in my life before) Perhaps an exterminator would have been a good thing for the hotel to think about. I would give the hotel 4,5 but it is not an option to choose that on tripadvisor. We would can see ourselves checking in on this hotel again!

Relaxing, clean rooms and very nice service. Good food at the restaurant. Nice and big pool. We used the massage service and was a very nice experience. Rooms are very quiet at night. Nice parking space
