We spent 2 nights at Capo d'Orto heading north after exploring the lower western side of Corsica.
The place is very well kept, quiet with an amazing view to the mountain and golf of Porto. What in Corsica is referred to as 'Mare e Monte', both mountain and sea at hand.
The rooms are spacious (we had booked a 'privilege' category room) with a balcony. Rooms are available for up to 4 persons.
On the downside, maybe
- The decoration in the rooms is a bit basic and not my taste, but very clean and feels recent if not new. Good bedding.
- The service is very limited. One person at reception. You have to go grab your drinks, it won't come to you and are asked to return bottle and glasses to the bar. But the "staff" is very amiable and provided good recommendations for restaurants in the area.
For that reason we did not try breakfast in the hotel (15 euros) , we feared the lack of freshly prepared selection, and we preferred driving the Piana road and have bfast in the (only) restaurant /snack / souvenir shop overlooking a valley.
- We found the place rather pricey. But middle of August in Corsica... demand makes the price. And we felt the location and view made it worth the spending.
The hotel is 15-20 mns walk from the Marina. Better walk then drive this distance if you are already parked.
Other highlights :
- obvioulsy the swimming pool. Rather small and simple , but clean and well kept (comfy long chairs), and for us simply a must after a day sight seeing in the mountains with 40C celsius.
- private parking lots
Restaurants nearby : For having tried them, I recommend Le Sud (by the Marina - great terrasse on the Marina - good food ) and Le Maquis (very close to hotel - great terrasse same view as hotel - very good food, refined cooking - book in advance) .
Much recommended by guides and I regret there was not time to try it : la Tour Genoise , for reasonably priced Corsican cuisine (Marina also).
If you go to Ota (I would not recommend to go there by night - very narrow and curvy road) try 'Chez Marie' or 'Chez Felix' for authentic Corsican food.
