“Very nice hotel but missing some atmospher”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Very nice hotel in a beautiful environment. The hotel is absolutely lovely and it all looks great. It just misses that extra personal touch you would expect with the prices. We were on honeymoon and were giving two single beds (and it took us a lot of talking to get another room). Staff is friendly when you ask them something, but dont give you that extra bit of attention. Breakfast is terribly expensive for not much.

“ok, but missing that little extra personal feeling ..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

When checking in this place we noticed that we didn't have a terrace with our room, although mentioned on the website for superior rooms (and if you're ready to pay the 45€ difference to have it, we insisted having one), so after long discussion we got upgraded to a suite, which also had a terrace. Regarding the suite, nothing to add, excellent, would it be worth the money? That's another question .. If we know the price we had to pay already for a superior room (and knowing that breakfast is not included - costs 18€ pp), we find it personally a bit expensive, certainly when not finding back the right atmosphere, the place is just missing something .. it's 'cold', staff is ok, but not of the smiling kind, breakfast choice is ok (although you've got to pay extra for a boiled egg), pool is rather small, certainly when more than 6 guests in it.. Overall it's an ok place if you want to stay in a sort of lodge/hotel, but for us it's missing that little extra compared to other places we liked more..

“Lovely hotel but pricey”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

We enjoyed our stay at La Dimora, but it was the most expensive place we stayed in two months of travel and I'm not sure it was worth it. The room was decorated well, with a comfortable bed and excellent linens, but was rather small. The bathroom was beautiful and luxurious. The pool area looked nice, but unfortunately we weren't able to use it because of the weather. The staff was not very friendly and there was a rather arrogant feel to the whole experience. We had to pass the reception desk every time we entered or exited our room and we were always the ones saying "Bonjour" or "Bonsoir" to them. They never initiated it. To me, that is a common courtesy for an upscale hotel to show that you acknowledge and appreciate your guests. I was also surprised that breakfast was not included, for the price they were charging for the rooms, and that the breakfast was extremely expensive. So we drove into Saint Florent every morning for a breakfast that cost about 1/4 of what they charged. We enjoyed the area, but it is much closer to Saint Florent than Bastia. Be forewarned that the drive to Bastia is through the mountains, so it is somewhat challenging unless you like curves and mountain passes. We did find a fabulous restaurant in the little hill town of Oletta, that I would highly recommend. It was called Auberge A Magina. The views are spectacular, the decor is beautiful and the food was very gourmet and out of this world, at affordable prices. The staff spoke English very well, which was an added bonus.

Room Tip: Spend the most money!

“outstanding service, very nice, off usual routes”

very kind welcome and suggestions on surroundings, the place has been decorated with taste with an eye at cost (but that's ok)... some details to be a 5/5 are missing but it is a must for the area and management is present and attentive

Visit the nearby Oletta and Saint Florent, and the Saleccia beach

“Excellent hotel and area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

people found this review helpful

If you stay in Oletta, you should go to La Dimora. It's very clean and the staff is very friendly. the rooms are very clean. The pool is very nice and the view is beautiful. But if you go to eat, stay at the hotel, eat there because the food in Saint Florent is not really good, and don't eat ice cream at ALL!! The hotel was also nice because I have 2 pets, and they were accepted. Breakfast was croissants, pain au chocolat, omelettes, fruits, and bread and jam.
I recommend this hotel very much.
