Apartment di Papa

This charming, one-bedroom apartment is the ideal base for couples looking to explore Calvi and its surrounding areas. Its romantic location, perched high in Calvi’s citadel, offers unbeatable views across the bay to the mountains beyond. With a few eateries and little craft shops in the citadel itself, life is on your doorstep, or stroll into the town below, which offers plenty of harbourside cafés, restaurants and shops in its quaint cobbled streets.

Enjoy your morning coffee and evening aperitif on the balcony as you take in the remarkable sea views, backed by rugged mountains. The unique interior has the original vaulted ceilings and features of the Italian owner, and air-conditioning and Wi-Fi will make you feel at home right away. With cool and airy interiors, the apartment provides an historical and gorgeous self-catered stay.

The apartment’s central location allows you to explore everything Calvi has to offer on foot. Stroll down from the citadel to the popular marina where you can join one of the day boats to explore the coastline by water, or reserve a spot on the dive boats to explore the underworld, in particular the WWII bomber plane that resides in the bay. Meander through paved streets of the main town, sampling delicious local cuisine, and browse artisanal boutiques. You’re also just a short walk from Calvi’s beautiful sandy beach, lined with beachside restaurants and offering water sports for those adventurous types. Calvi has its own train station, from where a small coastal train connects you to nearby towns such as Algajola and L’Ile Rousse — perfect for even more exploration.
