Description

A delightful beachside hotel affording spectacular views across the bay, Hôtel Dolce Vita is located 9km along the coastline from central Ajaccio.

Recently renovated and home to 32 bedrooms, all of which have large patio doors that open out to either a balcony or terrace, Hôtel Dolce Vita really makes the most of its incredible sea views. The rooms themselves have good facilities, with neutral décor and splashes of colour giving them a bright, contemporary feel.

You will undoubtedly spend much of your time by the swimming pool. Its position within the hotel really makes the most of the seaside location, with uninterrupted views of the crystal-clear blue waters and the Ajaccio coastline. Relax on the hotel’s little private manmade beach area, which is arranged with parasols, deck chairs and wooden terrace all laid out on the naturally rocky shoreline. For light snacks and refreshments, there are a choice of snacks available to purchase during the afternoon, and the bar is open until 9pm.

For those wishing to explore the main sights in the area, jump in your hire car and take a drive to some secluded beaches along the coastline, or visit the bustling town of Ajaccio with its daily market and excellent choice of shops and restaurants.
