Demeure Castel Brando Hôtel & Spa

Location: Centrally located in the charming village of Erbalunga and close to Cap Corse, the property is ideal for exploring the region. Guests appreciated its proximity to restaurants, hiking trails, and scenic seaside views.

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful environment. The staff are kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Castel Brando was enjoyable overall, but not without a few bumps along the way. We booked a superior room, which was spacious and well-appointed with comfy armchairs, a quaint little bookshelf full of books, and even a Tivoli Bluetooth speaker – a delightful touch for our music. The small balcony overlooked the modest pool, and while we weren’t graced with a sea view, the room's charm made up for it... mostly. The bed, however, was on the small side, and at this stage, the mattress and pillows have seen better days. A refresh here would do wonders. The hotel boasts two pools – one larger, heated, and quite inviting, which we used often. Unfortunately, the Jacuzzi appeared to have misunderstood its job and offered only cold water. A minor detail, but one that did dampen (quite literally) our enthusiasm for a soak. The grounds are extensive and pleasant, with a garden and a winter terrace, where the furniture walks a fine line between "quaint" and "you-might-find-this-in-grandma's-attic." Still, it adds a certain charm. Free parking was a lifesaver, especially given the tight parking situation in the village. The staff at reception? Fantastic. Kind, professional, and always ready to assist. Housekeeping, on the other hand, could benefit from some motivation. There's definitely room for improvement there, and it’s the only thing holding this place back from being a stellar experience.
