Monticelli Holidays from £816

Lovely gardens and nice rooms. However, overall it was a disappointing experience for a 5* hotel, as it simply was not a 5* experience; same breakfast every day and often running out of items, tapas restaurant was very poor value for money with insufficient staff to run it, no pool service or extra pool towels available, you need a car as there is no beach access and no regular shuttle service, also at the beach there are no beds arranged for hotel guests. Would not recommend spending a week here or that it is good value for money

Modern and very clean apartment with plenty of room for 2. We stayed in a sea view 1 bed apartment. 4 adults maybe a squeeze particularly wardrobe space. Kitchen functional..i would suggest table mats and coasters and a larger chopping board. They supply a kitchen cloth towel so didn't need to use mine. A large fridge freezer and ice cube trays. If I were to be really really picky, I would say a larger kitchen worktop would be handy and some shelves or cupboard to put food in as well as a shelf in the shower area for shower toiletries. Again, that's me being really picky. Outdoor pool with plenty of sunbeds and not many people there at anyone time. Jacuzzi style indoor pool. Both were quite cold for me. Separate hot jacquzzi which was warmish. Informed reception one side didn't bubble which she immediately said she'd get it seen to. Good tarmac and gated parking area. Indoor pool has a separate area with cushioned sunloungers...very peaceful. Cushions would be welcomed on the outdoor sunloungers. A 5 mins walk into the main seaside town with plenty of restaurants. Sandra, the receptionist, was ever so helpful amd pleasant. All in all, it ticked all of our boxes amd one of the cleanest and best places we've stayed at. Very well thought through. Definitely recommend staying here.

The desk clerks at the hotel were excellent particularly Alex who did whatever she could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We also enjoyed the food and the service in the dining room. We were very disappointed to find that there was no fridge in the room--the only hotel of the 11 on our trip. We could store things in their fridge but that is not the same. Also there were no amenities such as shower cap or makeup remover pads, body lotion. Alex did get some for me but it would be nice to provide those in the room.

Everything was excellent. The restaurant was very good. The location is easy for Bastia airport and right on the beach. The grounds and facilities are also excellent. Only weakness we encountered was the WiFi which is in dire need of an upgrade. The nearby restaurant on the beach managed a perfect signal so hopefully this is something that can be fixed. Overall, I would recommend this as a great place to stay.

I love this hotel. I recommended the hotel to family and friends. There was a little issue around checkout. Communication could have been clearer. It took a bit of back and forth to resolve an issue around breakfast. Close to 800 Canadian was spent on a room for two nights. The thought was breakfast was included in the cost. When checking out nothing was mentioned about extra breakfast charges and taxes. Only afterwards, when the premises were vacated, was an email sent asking for payment of an additional 60 euros for breakfast. It was a little awkward but in the end resolved. Aside from this glitch, a very nice hotel with a very pleasant owner. A great family owned hotel in Corsica. Our Canadian family will not hesitate to go back.
