Serra-di-Ferro hotels

Pros: A very nice, spotlessly clean hotel and room and a very nice breakfast with excellent quality of bread, cheese and various hams. The pool is great, the location perfect, with a view of Les Iles Sanguinaires and Ajaccio. Very close to some of the best beaches we have ever been to. The stuff very polite and helpful.

Pros: Loved the very tranquil pool area which was virtually empty every day and had the most beautiful views over the bay. The rooms were finished to a high standard and were immaculately clean. The outside space was great too. Would recommend booking sea view room as the views were spectacular. If we revisited we would also book an apartment as the hotel is unmanned after 8pm so the additional facilities would definitely be useful.

Cons: Property was a little further from amenities than we had envisaged - a car is definitely needed. Air conditioning could also have been cooler.

Pros: This hotel was in a quiet, peaceful area up on a hill. The pool and pool area were very nice and clean.Our room was very nice and clean as well as the bathroom. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast was good. Beaches and restaurants were close by. We would stay here again.

Cons: There was not a strong reception presence here. They were polite but not very friendly and spoke limited English, except for one who did speak more English. It was not clear where to get pool towels and there was limited information on the surrounding area. Also, I was told I could not bring a glass of water from the breakfast area to my room.

Pros: Great staff, excellent location, nice breakfast, lovely pool area, what more could you want.

Cons: Bit of noise in reception area and could hear television in next room at times dispite notice on door asking guests to be quiet and considerate, this is not the hotels fault.

Pros: Very well appointed 2-bedroom appartment. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, but unintrusive.. The air-con was great, given the summer heat, and wasn't noisy at night. The location is good - lovely sea view from our appartment and pool - but far enough from the beach and main road to be really quiet

Cons: N/A

Pros: Location was beautiful, extremely quiet and relaxing! You will certainly need a car to be able to get around town. The breakfast was wonderful and the patio has a gorgeous view. The staff were helpful and pleasant upon every meeting. I would love to stay here again. The ceasar salad is a must try too :)

Pros: Exceptional place to stay. Very calm, beautiful pool, nice apartment, fantastic view, delicious breakfast and very nice staff! We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to the next one in this residence!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Good location, nice room with terrace, good breakfast

Pros: Very clean quiet resort with excellent views and lovely pool. Accommodating courteous staff and beautiful well equipped apartment.

Cons: Definitely recommend to have a car as although the property is reasonably close to the beach the return journey is up a steep hill. Also the nearest shop/eateries are atleast half hour away on foot. Terrible wifi if thats important.

Pros: New hotel not far from the sea coast. Very nice and cosy rooms, very clean. Rooms are with the see view, but the ones with garden view are also nice, quite with see, fresh air. Perfect french breakfast with the terrace.

Pros: The 2-bedroom apartment was a good size for two adults and a small child. It was well appointed and had all the facilities we required. The sea views across to Ajaccio were fabulous and was in good proximity to good beaches.

Pros: The whole experience was delightful. The elevated location is superb, with huge views of the whole Gulf of Ajaccio, and just a 10 mins walk from the beach but yet set back from the main road so there is no traffic noise. The exterior is modern and tasteful, the interior spacious. My room was quite simply furnished but both modern and large, with very good bathroom. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a large choice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is large and clean. There is free parking on site. No lunch or dinner served, but there is a first class and inexpensive restaurant named Chez Alain just 2 kms away on the main road in the direction of Porticcio and Ajaccio. There are many fine beaches nearby also.

Cons: No.

Pros: the vieuw over the seaside

Cons: paying for breakfast

Pros: wonderful position, great pool and balcony rooms. Nicely old fashioned feel - good free internet and superb views.

Cons: The non balcony room was small and faced the road, not the garden as advertised. It was noisy at times and very hot (no air conditioning). The staff seemed to be a gang of young people who took little interest in our welfare. I also did not like them using the pool with their friends which they did very noisily and with little or no regard to paying guests. The staff were not interested in our complaints about the noisy hot room: they said 'no one else has ever complained'.

Pros: A beautiful hotel with wonderful views of the bay. The swimming pool was especially nice and the quality of the materials used was exceptional.

Cons: not really.

Pros: nice view. very kind staff.

Cons:

Pros: Location, room.

Cons: A little bit noisy because of parking area under the window. The pool was repairing which is again noisy and generally strainge within the high season.

Pros: 1. The location of the Hotel Kalliste Molini is indeed wunderfull. Further we stay in room number 4 and really appreciate the view of the sea from bed :-) 2. It seems to be that the Hotel was quite recently fully renovated and therefore the furnishing is new and high-quality. 3. The hotel staff member are very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Unfortunately, it has to be mentioned that in front of the Hotel a new swinning pool (looks like a pool) is in construction. Hence, in the morning during the week its getting a little bit noisy. According to my oppinion it was not that problem but at least a note in the hotel description in order to inform the guests in advance is necesarry and desirable.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful personnel, especially the owner's help was greatly appreciated when he showed me the directions to get to the Porticcio harbor

Cons:

Pros: Extremely nice host and lovely surroundings (loved all the flowers). Clean and neat room and nice bathroom. Homemade breakfast. We got lots of great advice on where to go, what to do and where to eat. Do not miss Jacqueline and Francois, great restaurant (advice from the host). We had missed to bring cash for the room and there are no ATM:s close by, but we solved it and he was very relaxed about it. He also let us stay after we checked out. Wonderful hospitality! We highly recommend this place!

Pros: Beautiful garden, very friendly host, cleanliness, good starting point for discovering south of Corsica, small, but nice swimming pool souronded by lovely lemmon trees and oleander plants, homemade jams, cakes, yougurts served for breakfast.

Pros: The host was nice, the location is good and not crowded.The rooms are ok, not fully equipped but this is host policy.A restaurant is just on the other side of the street.Garden and pool is nice.

Cons: There was not BBQ in the garden, but this was specified in policies.

Pros: Pool was ok. Nice beach in 15min drive.

Cons: No tv. Small ant problem.

Pros: Very clean comfortable room. Beautiful garden and nice small pool.

Cons: A kettle in the room would have been good.

Pros: It was clean

Cons: Not child friendly at all. And I personally think is not tourist friendly at all. The host. Especially making us transfer the money into his personal account at the end of our stay. I’m not sure about the legality of this situation.

Pros: Breakfasts contained many home made items which were a delight

Cons: There’s a busy local road adjacent to the property which could be noisy at times but the owner cannot do much about it. In any event this didn’t put us or other clients off at all.

Pros: Breakfast, nice staff, very clean. Close to the sea.

Cons: It would have been lovely to have a kettle in the room to be able to make tea/coffee.

Pros: Very friendly service, Marie is a wonderful host and cares about her guests. Very comfortable rooms, clean and spacious bathrooms, nice style and atmosphere in the cute little hotel! Located in a quite neighbourhood, a little outside the centre and beach is 2min walk away. Highly recommended hotel!

Cons: Public transports goes very rarely in Ajaccio, so it's hard to commute from the centre to the hotel if one does not have a car or wants to walk.

Pros: The location, 5mins from the beach and the overall classy feel and quality of fittings as well as the super-professional, helpful and friendly staff.

Cons: No point having a TV with only one English channel and the room was a little too tiny (even if the bed was good). Shame there wasn't even a kettle in the room. Breakfast (additional to the room price) was basically just quality bread and jam, so not great for the price.

Pros: The staff and the cosiness of the hotel and its location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It was really nice hotel in the nice place close to the beach and the lady receptionist was tres charmant and helped us with all. Merci! :)

Pros: Easy 3 min walk to beach. For us during the shoulder season, it was no problem parking but I can see it might be an issue during peak season. Close to grocery store and some food. Owner was very nice and welcoming.

Cons: The bed wasn't the most comfortable.

Pros: You saw at once that the management paid attention to all the little details that make a stay pleasant.

Cons: Nothing could have been better

Pros: A very friendly staff, very tastefully decorated rooms. And something we particularly liked because we we usually don't like ac: the perfect air-conditioning system: no noise or chilly breeze that keeps you awake. Location is great: at walking distance from the center, but in a quiet neighborhood, with an excellent bakery around the corner. Plus a nice coffee bar next to it where they allow you to eat your croissant when you order coffee ;-) And at one minute walk from the beach (which has a very nice beach bar).

Cons: We opted for the economy room with an outside toilet, something we usually don't mind, but if you are tall we wouldn't recommend it. You will bump your head if you go there at night even though you are warned for the low ceiling. ;-)

Pros: Staff was very kind and helpful and reception helped me with last minute taxi arrangement after my flight was delayed so I could enjoy the wonderful terrace a bit longer.

Cons: Maybe replace light bulbs with blue LEDs in hall to bedroom.

Pros: Extremely friendly staff. Very nice location.

Cons: The restaurant was already closed, despite beginning September.

Pros: We liked the location & facilities, & ambiance .

Cons: In some small areas the paint work looked a bit tired & the toilet seat not fixed properly. Perhaps it’s time for a bit of an update on decoration. Also the system of sink plugs needs updating.

Cons: the receptionist would always bring the hosts to their room, meanwhile the other guests have to wait at the reception desk until she is back

Pros: We had a room with a terrace directly at the sea. Very enjoyable when the weather was nice and calm, but quite noisy when the waves were getting rougher. Otherwise, the rooms were super quiet. The swimming pool was large and had a large seating area with nice sun beds. You could play table tennis inside and normal tennis outside in a nice and secluded tennis court. The private beach was not large but really nice and clean. Wifi was excellent. The Parata tower is nearby (only 10 mins by car) with nice walks. Some restaurants (Le Pimente Rouge!) and supermarkets within 3 km.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a fridge in the room. If you want to see more of Corsica keep in mind that you need to drive through Ajaccio, which can be full of traffic.

Pros: The location is not bad at all, with a nice view on Ajaccio and the mountains. Also, we were somewhat in the back, further away from the street noise. The apartment was very tastefully decorated and the plates, glasses and cutlery were more than sufficient.

Cons: The view on one side, with the parking still to be arranged. Apart from that I cannot possibly think of anything ! As we were six, a 9-people apartment would have been better, but apparently they are gone so quickly.

Pros: We had 2 bedroom apartment it was very clean and modern. The pool was the best bit, very quite while we were there.

Cons: The cistern in the loo wasnt working correctly. Didn't have time to complain or mention it.

Pros: Great hotel with apartments, free parking, everything clean and tidy in the apartment. Large terrace and comfortable bathroom. Although you can find cheaper accommodation in Ajaccio, we would not recommend it because we had a negative experience with the "Appartement coeur de ville" , apartment in the center. This apartment is out of the center but we were walking downtown and it was a nice walk.

Cons: everything is great

Pros: All the facilities. Free parking and the location

Cons: The elevator was not working when we left, we had to carry down the suitcases on the stairs with no help.

Pros: Nice apartment, comfortable and good air con and balcony.

Cons: A coffee machine with pods as opposed to filter coffee machine would have been a big improvement. Decent sized glass for drinks in the room are required (only small tumblers provided) At the small jacuzzi pool it states 'no kids' on the notice board, but it was full of kids, sometimes unsupervised, and despite complaining at reception nothing happened

Pros: Very clean, quiet and the pool was exceptional.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good breakfast; good standard of the bedroom and bathroom of the apartment; good internet connection

Cons: Kitchenette of the apartment far below expectations (very old equipment; not well cleaned; rust on the fridge and cuttlery); service was asked to fix lightning in the kitchen (change bulb) what was not done over 4 days stay;

Pros: The apartment was spacious and clean. Relatively quiet considering the fact the hotel is close to the main street. The kitchen is properly equipped for those travelling with kids or cooking on your own.

Cons: I have mixed feelings really. The hotel isn't bad, but we did not have the view presented on the site. Majority of them must have been taken from Best Western Hotel not Residence Amiraute. The view varies so please take that into the account when booking. Also the hotel has a very strict booking policy. I had to change my dates due to work and was trying to shorten the stay for two days of which I have informed the hotel a month before I was supposed to stay there, asking if I could pay less for those days and my plea was rejected so I was somewhat disappointed and to be honest surprised as it had never happened before and I do travel quite often. I do not think the hotel is a good value for money too am afraid. As for the beach you have to travel by car (aprox 30 min in traffic, which is a daily occurrence in the city which is understandable but still not something you enjoy doing on vacation).

Pros: Breakfast was good value for the money and very tasty.

Pros: Excellent facilities and staff and in a great location!!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All staff are friendly and made us feel welcome. Loved the private beach and all activities.

Pros: Staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The private beach was perfect, the paddle boarding was amazing, other activities like snorkeling and yoga were pretty fun too.

Cons: More choice on food, more non-fish based options

Pros: Everything!

Pros: The overall qualities of this hotel are excellent especially the balcony room we had selected. The fine dining restaurant is excellent. Every member of the staff team were a delight and gave great service.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: didn't eat any meals at the hotel as they were expensive and we wanted to get out to see Ajaccio

Cons: cost of all extras including mini-bar

Pros: Beachs are at walking distance

Cons: Very clean Pools are fantastic Reception team very knowledgeable and helpful

Pros: Clean, efficient, comfortable, decent breakfast

Cons: Nothing. Good but no frills

Pros: -clean -best western standard -professional staff -good value for money -lovely view on the city of Ajaccio and the Sea from our room -good breakfast

Cons: Great location great people

Pros: Everything was great! Starting from the location, private parking, staff, room, breakfast! Perfect!! Above all good value for the money we have paid!

Pros: Very easy parking nice view

Cons: Too far from center village for walking to it

Pros: Nice rooms, lovely bed! Hosts are super friendly!!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly staff and lovely room with view of the ocean - perfect! Just a short walk across the road to the beach and very good sized bedrooms with excellent facilities.

Pros: Nice breakfast (12€ per person), awesome location 25m to the beach, super friendly staff,

Pros: the room had a good air conditioning, parking just besides, relatively close to beach and facilities

Cons: the room is on the bay-side, good, but also very close to the road, not so great

Pros: The hotel was across the road from a nice sandy beach with few rocks!!

Pros: Great location a bit out of town which makes it more relaxed Very nice beach across the road Great pool

Cons: All good

Pros: The location was a little out of town but right in front of the beach and a short walk to some good restaurants. The views from the front of the property were stunning with the pool being a great feature.

Cons: The hotel itself was a little dated with a refresh probably due. It was mainly clean but had hair in the bed and bathroom (not mine) on arrival. The car park was full most of the time, hit and miss as to whether you would get a space in the designated area.

Pros: The location is excellent directly across from a lovely beach and two minutes walk from 4 excellent restaurants and bars. The pool and gardens are lovely.

Pros: Top position views from room fantastic! Very comfortable bed & large room!

Pros: there was a very complete and good breakfast

Pros: Perfect location, just infront of the beautiful beach, a lots of restaurant, close to the bus stop, the staff is so kind, friendly and helpful. Definitely I will come here again.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: A perfect location for chilling out, our room over looked the small port / marina area which was busy yet quiet during the day and entertaining viewing. The staff were all courteous and very professional, the reception boasting two of the most attractive receptionists I have met! We had room 19 which was a modern unit with all you could wish for plus a decent sized balcony furnished with "Fatboy" bean bags along with table and chairs. We ate at the hotel restaurant several times and the food was to a good standard and could be taken at the quayside or in front of the hotel. The pool area was peaceful and well protected from the sea breeze.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Beautiful and spotlessly clean room with gorgeous balcony overlooking the boats and the bay.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel is nice: room, bed, towels, little balcony, view, staff. Super cute spot.

Cons: The problem is outside of the hotel.I guess bikers like this spot. Therefore, there are plenty and, surely, they make much noise. Luckily, late at night it gets quite (at least in May). Also, the resto seems cute, but my pizza was having waaay too much salt.

Pros: Modern hotel, friendly staff and great views.

Pros: The service was simply outstanding! Location, rooms, swimming pool, food,... all was perfect. From the moment you arrive, you feel that you are welcome... we stayed for 7 days and wish we could stay even longer... the owner is ensuring that you have a great time... all members of his Team are very friendly, helpful and want to ensure you have everything you need...

Cons: nothing. all we needed we got... we wish we could have stayed longer

Pros: Very pleased to be able to stay. The staff were incredible.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Rooms were spacious and comfortable with an excellent sea view. The swimming pool was well situated with plenty of loungers and sunshades and towels available. Well maintained every morning.

Cons: Very limited restaurant menu and high priced too. €21 for breakfast far too steep so we didn’t have any. Supplies of bottled water, tea and coffee sachets were hard to come by - you shouldn’t need to ask for daily replenishments when the room charges are so high. Step access to hotel was a problem with a heavy suitcase and a wonky knee. What if you were really disabled? Handrail on steps to entrance difficult to use because bushes has not been cut back. Area of beach was potentially dangerous with submerged remains of a concrete jetty and sudden changes in water depth. To really appreciate this hotel and the area around which is a long way out of Ajaccio you need a car. If not you need to use the route 5 bus and you can buy a weekly ticket for€12 at the Tourist Information Office which is better than paying€3 for each journey. You can use it on any bus. Bus stop outside the hotel. Also electric bikes if you want them.

Pros: Heavenly Even the dolphins put on a show at dinner

Pros: Very relaxing. Brilliant staff. Quiet location.

Cons: It always annoys me when you book for more than 1 night pay the same price for the next nights but only get a complimentary bottle of water for the first night.

Pros: The sea view and the beautiful flowers in the yard

Pros: Wonderful ocean front location, excellent service & delicious food!! We highly recommend this hotel.

Pros: Lovely view from the balconey. Huge comfortable bed.

Cons: Didn't feel like a 4-star hotel...a bit outdated. Sign with 4 star rating indicated the rating was given back in 2012.

Pros: Hotel Dolce Vita is a lovely, luxurious hotel. The rooms are extremely deluxe, and appear to be very recently upgraded and renovated with very high-end finishes. The rooms are huge with large sitting areas, extensive closet space, luxrious baths, and large balconies or patios. There is maid service twice daily too. The hotel has a beautiful waterfront setting. While the beach area is rocky, it is quite picturesque. The covered, outdoor dining area has magnificent views of the water and is extremely attractive. The restaurant also had excellent food. While the hotel is situated approximately a 15 minute drive from the downtown area of the city, the hotel is accessful by both cab and a very nice public bus. Overall - a fabulous resort!

Cons: NO

Pros: Fantastic location right on sea, the superior rooms where first class.

Cons: but no beach, swim off rocks; dining room good for two meals ,since only changed set meal once a week .coffee gourmand ( with a few small 'cakes' ) at euro 9 must be most expensive on the island.

Pros: Very good restaurant on site, terrific breakfast, great staff and comfortable bed

Cons: Wished the pool had been open for swimming.

Pros: Very nice terrace overlooking the bay of Ajaccio. Free parking in front of the hotel but make sure you don't arrive too late. Convenient breakfast included.

Cons: A bit far from the city centre although you can walk there in about 30 minutes

Pros: Exceptional breakfast, friendly stuff and rooftop view!

Cons: A bit far from the city center for walking but perfect for morning run! :)

Pros: Comfortable bed, newly renovated bathroom, friendly staff, easy on site parking.

Cons: The decor of the bedroom is outdated and not in keeping with the newly renovated bathroom. However it was comfortable and all we needed for one night.

Pros: Exceeded my expectations considering its 2*hotel

Cons: Hotel actually offers 20e cheaper stay than I found on booking.com

Pros: Excellent breakfast on the terrace.

Cons: Very long, boring walk to the town, but very convenient for the airport. Taxi from town cost 15€.

Pros: Staff were so friendly

Cons: Not much to do in the area

Pros: Every thing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: First of all, let me thank for convenience in your hotel and say that we were very satisfied and pleased with the service during our stay. I really appreciate the effotts made by the hotel staff because my request for the room change. Especially, I would like to mention madam Sophie for her warm behavior during our stay and she did her best in order to help us.

Pros: Great little hotel , room ready early, good location.

Pros: Location was great for the old town & at a good price too.

Pros: Perfect in every way!

Cons: No room in bathroom to store toiletries

Pros: Great location with secure parking

Cons: All good, but two small possible improvements, the machine coffee for breakfast and response to small notified room defects.

Pros: Good hotel, apparently mainly for businessmen. Well located for exploring Ajaccio.

Cons: Parking was a bit tricky, and not cheap

Pros: it is so clean. .the stuff is so nice， but it is not convenient to the airport and bus station

Pros: Great location. Sites and restaurants within walking distance. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast also good.

Pros: The beach , the restaurant, the pool the staff

Pros: Very clean, bright room with a small terrace and view of the sea. A small bar and good restaurant. Breakfast was served inside as well as outside overlooking the sea with a spectacular view.

Pros: Location was excellent, right on the beach.

Cons: Noisy at night, television at 3am and beach party at 5am.

Pros: I stayed on the ground floor, the window of the room was to the sea at 5 meters. The extremely pleasant view.

Cons: The exterior appearance of the hotel is quite modest; the double bed, narrow, at breakfast you felt like you were watching

Pros: The pool and access to the beach were really nice. There is a bar and restaurant right outside of the motel rooms so grabbing a bite or a drink to sip in the room was really nice. The rooms were very secluded and private and you got your own tanning patio.

Cons: The pictures make it look more like hotel but it’s more like a beachside motel/villa feel. It was still nice just not what I was expecting.

Pros: Right on the beach, this hotel was a great find. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Loved that you can park right outside your room.

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: Small bathroom

Pros: This is a quietly elegant hotel, recently refurbished, efficiently run. It's 10 minutes walk from the attractive old town of Ajaccio. The staff were courteous and helpful and the rooms excellent. If you book in advance you can park your car underground - though be aware that it costs 20 euros, while parking in the street outside is free if you can find a space (we couldn't.)

Cons: Don't have breakfast here. Get it at half the price at the cafe twenty metres down the road. Also they have a problem with their showers, which leak very badly under the doors. Just don't leave anything on the bathroom floors and be prepared to mop up after a shower. I have to say that the ceiling fans are noisy - and you can hear them from the rooms around you. It kept me awake - but the three others in our party didn't notice.

Pros: Clean, well kept hotel. Very good, central location. Staff are helpful!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Q. They are doing a beautiful job of keeping the original stonework building incorporated into the modernization. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. After our check out, it was necessary for us to return for a few days due to an accident. They were very accommodating.

Cons: They had not finished the renovation on the lobby and courtyard at the time of our stay, so there was no common listing area. Fortunately, there are sidewalk cafes just outside.

Pros: Great location Good breakfast

Cons: Small room and bathroom

Pros: The shower was great. The lighting of the room was extraordinary. It was quiet. A small room but we didn’t need it any larger. My wife did her yoga on the balcony.

Cons: The shower door leaked.

Pros: Great central location.

Cons: Free WiFi required personal details

Pros: Great location.

Pros: Good Location and very nice staff, as they helped us and offered free-breakfast to acknowledge our participation to a Scientific Conference.

Pros: Ideal location. Being able to get fresh air by opening the window is comfortable.

Cons: A curtain or a screen for the shower would be needed.

Pros: The staff were helpful and lent me a plug adapter because I forgot mine. Breakfast tasted good. Room was clean.

Cons: The windows didn't open because of the scaffolding outside. Shower was a bit hot then cold.

Pros: Everything Location is the best

Cons: A little bit Pricy , and I kinda remember the WiFi is a bit slow and sometimes disconnected
