Having settled on Calvi as a destination for our week in Corsica (me and two teen girls) Trip advisor reflected that Acquale was highly recommended (and the last review left was by someone from my home town!). Booking was easy and responsive by email, always friendly and helpful including airport transfers and table bookings. We arrived late evening and the room was ready and lovely. We settled into Acquale life quickly. Excellent breakfast - plentiful and good quality, and available a little beyond the strict end time. The pool is big enough but not too big and only about 30 sun beds altogether but always seemed to be enough (it was very quiet the first few days of our stay). We were nearly the only English guests - mainly French with some Germans most of the week. The rooms are cool, clean and lovely towels and robes, mini bar stocked and a big TV (hardly used!). The lift goes from the basement carpark (free parking) all the way to the stunning roof top bar. Booking for the bar is essential but sooo worth it - we were there for the gormet dinner for the festival of St Mary with spectacular fireworks. The view across Calvi is stunning. The food was lovely - tapas style, apparently there was a kids menu though I didnnt see it. Staff were so friendly, chatty, happy to help and pressed a little gift into our hands as we left - nice touch. I loved the family story in the welcome folder, explaining the name and also the family history. It did feel like a family hotel with an intimate feel. Highly recommend (as I do the whole of Calvi) - I hope to be back.
