I'm always afraid to expect too much of an hotel where this has been rated so high by other travellers. But we indeed had a great stay at the San Giovanni. The staff and owners are always taking care of you, your remarks, suggestions, questions. They prepare everything for you and can advise on many activities. They lend you a... More

To add to the many accolades... Our two nights here in October 2010 were fantastic. The hotel is a miracle - friendly, clean, convenient, beautiful grounds (felt like the tropics!), and a strong restaurant. I loved the ping pong table. My only concern is that the spa was really small. You do need a car to go anywhere from here,... More

we spent only one night there but wished we could stay longer. Beautiful garden, rooms with balconies or terraces with total privacy, heated big pool, internet in the room, a pond with goldfish and green frogs. Cannot be better, and at a very good price, and they actually speak English not only French More

I have struggled to decide how I rated our 4-night stay here. Compared to the glowing reviews I read beforehand, I must admit to feeling disappointed. However, that said, the infrastructure, location and beautiful landscaped gardens cannot be faulted. My best reconcilition is that at the end of the season, staff were maybe bored and jaded, feeling a bit complacent.... More

I am and have been a great fan of small family run 2/3* hotels in France for many years so when a trip to Corsica was planned the ethos of this type of establishment was very much to the fore. The trip was in the autumn, the end of October and very much towards the end of the holiday season... More

Travelling with a youngish family (12 & 8), this is an excellent family run hotel where the standards are high (both food and room cleanliness) and the service is excellent. If you want champagne brought to your room by room service, this is not upmarket enough, but the owner confided that she preferred two stars instead of the three she... More

We stayed at the Htoel San Giovanni for two nights for my husband's birthday. We took our three year old with us. The hotel is set in stunning gardens with fantastic outdoor areas. When we went, the weather was in the 20's, I can imagine the gardens getting even more use in the warmer months. We didn't swim in hte... More

Think this is our third review and wanted to remind people how great this hotel is! Lovely grounds, great food & great staff. Rooms basic but very clean and tidy. Great location for all the main beaches in the area and for access to Porto-Vecchio. Highly recommend it! Book early! More

Not so much an hotel in the traditional sense, more a restaurant with rooms set in a beautiful garden. The San Giovanni is quite a way out of Porto Vecchio so a car is essential unless you choose to spend all your time in the grounds. All the food is superb, so having to have half-board in high season is... More
