Description

Panoramic sea views meet a historical city break at the boutique Hôtel des Gouverneurs in Bastia’s citadel.

Located within the historical citadel of Corsica’s second-largest town, Bastia, Hôtel des Gouverneurs is a stylish boutique property, just a couple of minutes’ walk (or take the lift) from the old port. There’s an indoor pool where you can relax after a day of sightseeing, and a bar with a panoramic terrace where you can enjoy some cocktails. Hôtel des Gouverneurs is an ideal choice for an add-on stay of two or three nights, where you can explore Bastia’s variety of shops, restaurants and local markets.

The 27 guestrooms are sophisticated in décor, using natural colours to provide a light and airy atmosphere. We would recommend a sea view room with a balcony to really make the most of the spectacular vistas from this property.

A great way to make the most of being in the area is to take a car out to explore Cap Corse, Corsica’s northern promontory. If you drive north from Bastia along the east coast, you’ll discover several little fishing villages and some beautiful patches of unspoilt coastline dotted with sandy coves.

Official local hotel rating: 4 star
