Guestbook for Calenzana
Sensational all round! dhfr london Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009 location: stunning views, about 20min drive from the very touristy Calvi. Technically on the edge of a small town called Zilia which has a few shops for necessities. Great spot to do a morning trip into calvi or beach for a few hours, then retreat in the heat of the day to fabulous air-con and sensational pool. The view of the mountains is not done justice in hte photos. Breathtaking. The place itself it lovely, finished to a high level.Owners are very helpful and relaxed and have great suggestions on what to do and see (the rock pool swimming is a must!. We had friends staying in a twonhouse in calvi which was more expensive and nowhere near as good. If you need to be in the heart of things then perhaps calvi is the way to go - but if you want to relax in a far more beautiful spot a simple drive away this is it! Will definitely try to go again. Impressed with the area of corsica (amazing natural beauty) and the house
Fabulous place to stay Becky&Dim Northern Ireland Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009 The house is beautifully finished and was clean and well-equipped with excellent kitchen facilities, perfect for self-catering. We also used the BBQ and sat out on the terrace to eat most nights. The views are spectacular. The owners were very friendly and gave us plenty of information on things to see and do. The house is in a beautiful location near the small village of Zilia, which has a bar and a couple of grocery shops. There is no boulangerie but the bread van arrives in the village square every morning and you can buy fresh croissants, pain au chocolat and baguettes. You can get fresh water from the spring just outside the square on the road to Calenzana. There is a shop which makes “Biscuits Corses” which are delicious. Calenzana is a few kilometres away and has a few restaurants, bars and a Spar shop. We would recommend Chez Michel for good Corsican food. Calvi is only 20 mins drive away and there are a couple of supermarkets as well as the smaller shops in the centre of town. Would recommend swimming in the Fango river, a drive along the coast road to Galeria, or if you like a sandy beach go to Calvi. A trip down the bumpy road to Pointe de la Revellata is also worth the effort for snorkelling, swimming and fishing. A beautiful island and top quality villa.
Beautiful villa and great location Ken, Andrea and Tim Netherlands Review Submitted: November 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009 Wonderful location on the edge of a picturesque village in the foothills of the mountains with great views but only 20 mins from the beach at Calvi. Lots to see nearby - on edge of La Balagne and close to the start of GR20 walk, plus Calvi and the Fango river for swimming. The people in the village were very friendly - the lady in the small grocer shop opposite the bar arranged for the breadvan to stop outside the gate of the villa every morning on its way into the village so we got first choice of the crossiants delivered to our door.
The house itself is really nicely furnished and has a beautiful terrace with spectacular views as well as a nice garden and pool. The owners are also really friendly and helpful. We would really recommend this villa.
