Hotel Castell'Verde

"My girlfriend and I visited this beautiful hotel towards the end of our driving tour of the island of Corsica and we loved it! The hotel is located outside of Porto vecchio in the quiet solitude of the countryside overlooking the stunningly beautiful Santa guilia beach. We stayed near the end of May of this year and found the hotel to be quiet, as planned, but I think that, by it's very nature this hotel would maintain a calm, quiet air even in the heigh of summer, such is the feel to the place. The hotel was easy to find with Google maps, parking was abundant and, as if that wasn't enough, we were literally 5-mins walk from the beach in which we overlooked! Breakfast was included with the room and I've never had breakfast quite like it tbh - usually we go for middle of the road type hotels, mind you, but we had breakfast on the terrace overlooking the beautiful beach and turquoise sea below, in the warm May morning. The staff were v helpful and genuinely wanted to help, more so, and the room was simply luxury. From our lovely, clean, comfortable, quiet room we had a garden view and access to the tennis courts on site...yes, they have tennis courts, at an extra charge, obvs but also the 2 heated pools on site as well. Bear in mind, for those who may overlook this hotel for something closer to the centre of Porto vecchio, that this is v close to the city and, with a city stay, you will likely be charged extra for parking and have few, if any, of the lovely surroundings or facilities, as named, above. Put simply, this hotel is utterly beautiful and in some lovely, quiet surroundings. The beach is on it's doorstep and the quiet and greenery will have you feeling you're staying in a luxury spa far from the madness of the rest of the world!"

"Santa Giulia (S.E. Corsica) offers one of the nicest beaches of Southern Corsica that is also close to the main highway (Porto Vecchio to Bonifacio). By comparison, the other famous beaches of the area are only accessed by narrow winding mountainous roads (e.g. Rondinara and Pamombaggia).The S.G. beach is just a 10 minute walk down from the hotel mostly through a beautifully manicured park. The Castell' Verde is a good 3-star hotel, itself part of a vast group of properties (a self-accommodating residence, another 3- and a 4-star hotel (the Moby Dick), a luxury restaurant, a food shop, etc. . all scattered in a 100 acres private semi-wild space.. Rooms have a pleasantly modern design. Superb view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the greenery. Service is efficient, friendly and very helpful. The only negative is probably the absence of a real restaurant that would match the quality of the accommodation. (only a -decent -snack-bar). Visited June 2017"

"Hotel nestled in a beautiful park over Santa Giulia beach at 15 minutes walk directly from the hotel. Very calm, direct access from the parking to the rooms (you need to have a car in Corsica). Two modes of accommodation: either in the hotel, where we were or in the residence (bungalows integrated in the nature). The restaurant of the hotel is closed for the time being but full breakfast (quite varied) is still served on a beautiful terrasse overlooking Santa Giulia. The hotel had two beautiful heated swimming pools. The hotel restaurant nearby the beach (the Mobydick) and not far from the natural pond where we went for our first night was good but the smell coming from the pond was quite disturbing, it was a windy period though. There is a lot of choice for restaurants in Porto Vecchio, 7 km away from the hotel."
