Hôtel La Corniche

Set between Bastia and Erbalunga in Cap Corse, Hôtel La Corniche is a family-run establishment that has had a recent refurbishment. Relax on the terrace with a signature cocktail, whilst admiring stunning sea views as far as the island of Elba, enjoy the local cuisine at the on-site restaurant and soak up the glorious sunshine on a stroll to the centre of San Martino.

The hotel consists of 21 comfortable rooms, and many offer superb sea views to enjoy each morning. Throughout your stay, you will be made to feel welcome by the Anziani family, who will do everything they can to ensure that your holiday is as comfortable as possible. The pool area is surrounded by nature, offering guests the chance to relax in the shade of an oak tree on a chaise longue. Soak up the smells of the wild shrubs and fragrant flowers and beautiful views out to sea. Guests have the opportunity to sample the many wines that the wine cellar has to offer; this is a wonderful way to spend an evening when paired with a meal at the gastronomic restaurant.

The hotel is only a short drive to the city of Bastia, where there is plenty to appreciate, from the bustling Place St Nicolas and cobbled shopping streets to the seafront, all overlooked by an impressive Genoese citadel. Down by the ‘vieux port’, there is a hubbub of restaurants and late-night bars, and as you wander through the streets of the old town you will find a local farmers market to explore.

Cap Corse is also a wonderful area to discover during your stay; spend the day driving between tiny ports and villages, as narrow roads dramatically traverse the rugged coastline, or, for keen walkers, explore the area on foot, where walking is possible directly from the hotel.
