Calvi & the Balagne, L'Ile Rousse

Hôtel Villa Josephine

Description

Hôtel Villa Josephine is situated in delightful L’Ile Rousse, hidden on the edge of the countryside but just a kilometre away from the centre of shops, restaurants and beaches.

The hotel feels like a Corsican family home, cleverly spread across the grounds, with relaxing corners dotted throughout. It focuses on soothing light, air, and nature, creating a calming, tranquil place to stay. The private gardens, authentically fragrant with olives and myrtle, along with the greens of the carefully tended vegetation, add to the peaceful atmosphere. The grounds boast magnificent countryside views up the valleys to the mountains beyond.

The 19 guest rooms, all comfortable and neutrally decorated, enjoy views towards the unique Corsican landscape and the thoughtful gardens. The hotel’s smart swimming pool features a sun deck with views of the distant mountain range, where you can totally relax and chill out in the sun surrounded by nature.

Enjoy an evening walk into town and indulge in some of the island’s cuisine. Restaurants are abundant, with dining choices by the quayside or throughout the cobbled streets.

The town’s beach makes a lovely change from the hotel’s swimming pool, where you can swim in the warm sea, enjoy a coffee and people-watch at the many restaurants or take a stroll in the Corsican sunshine. The ‘little train’ also stops in town, so you can buy a ticket and explore the Balagne region by train, with a hop-on, hop-off service. It’s a great way to see the coastline and perhaps sample Calvi’s delights, just a short ride away.

This hotel offers the best of both worlds: quiet accommodation tucked away on the edge of town, yet within walking distance (15-20 minutes) of the centre.
