This hotel promised so much, and delivered very little. It is far from the centre of Porto Vecchio, up an uninspiring road, with only a pizzeria of the plastic chair variety around the corner for company.
We had booked a "privilege room" but I would have named it a "Holiday Inn" Room completely with nasty synthetic bedspread.
The grounds were depressing and needed attention, the whole mood of the place was off - felt like a reasonable hotel fallen on hard times / ghost hotel.
The biggest issue here was the price. When compared with what else was on offer around the area (but sadly booked up) or to London hotels, this came up massively short - a beautiful room at Claridges would be significantly cheaper than this place and worth twice as much.
In the end, my boyfriend and I were so depressed by Roc e Fiori that we went back to Bonifacio and stayed there, leaving our synthetic bedsheet and 1980s bathroom untouched.
