"We had a great stay, good room with comfy bed and pillows. It is an open shower with no door or curtain, so the floor/bath mat outside the shower gets soaked, no matter how careful you are. The garage is very tight to get in and out, and the slope doesn't help but if you can't find free parking close by, it is a safe option at €10 per night. The staff are friendly and helpful. The city centre is an easy, pleasant 15 min walk. There is also an excellent restaurant at the marina, across from the hotel."
"Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Bring mosquito repellent and plug in mosquito killer for the room. We didn’t have a car however two small supermarkets with a limited selection are very close. We walked to a larger one when it was a bit of a dull day for the beach. Beware taxis on Corsica are crazy expensive so plan your activities accordingly. The beaches in the area are superb."
"The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff were nice and welcoming and had great suggestions for local restaurants. We also greatly appreciated being able to leave our luggage in a safe storage area in the hotel after check-out while we explored the city before our flight. I would absolutely stay here again!"
"We had an enjoyable and relaxing 3 days staying the residence suites, a great space for a family. The hotel pool and bar area was better than the photos suggest and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The free shuttle bus to the old town (or beach) is a super service and needed given the options for buses and expensive taxis.
I can thoroughly recommend staying here if you like to relax as well as explore. "
"We had a lovely stay at Residence Sophia. We were given a lovely greeting and help with our bags. The cabin was exactly as advertised -clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The grounds were well maintained with very nice landscaping. The two swimming pools were brilliant, warm, clean and not crowded. Résidence Sophia is also in a great location for exploring the island easily via the T10. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "
