The owner replied to our questions promptly and was very helpful with everything. The apartment is just as described. We would definitely stay there again.
The flat is gorgeous with all amenities, and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. The location is quite perfect - bakery, butchers, delicatessen, supermarket, organic supermarket, restaurants, a choice of ice-cream shops and a lovely beach are all literally a couple of minutes walk away, and yet the neighbourhood is very calm and quiet. Really perfect.
Maintained to a high standard, and with a great amount of space for the two of us plus a terrace to sunbathe. Host was very helpful in mitigating the otherwise excessive local taxi fares, but you don't need transport to find a very good selection of worthy restaurants. Everything worked excellently, would return...
Superb apartment in a good location - 15 minutes stroll to the centre, but at least 5 good and attractive restaurants 5 minutes away. A very considerate host, who mitigated the amazingly expensive taxi fares in Ajaccio. There were only 2 of us; but 4 guests would still have been very comfortable.
Easy to get to the sea and into town. Apartment is fully equipped and comfy. Sunny veranda with fantastic views.
We'd like to extend our huge thanks to Frederic and Jacqueline for their warm welcome and for letting us stay in their beautiful apartment. I don't think we've ever stayed anywhere where we felt so at home straight away. Thank you also very much for the flowers for our anniversary, and for the delicious welcome goodies you left us (we loved the biscuits!) - really special, thoughtful touches. We found it a great area to stay; a 15 minute walk into town, with a boulangerie a couple of minutes walk away, and a Carrefour just down the hill. There were plenty of good restaurants close by, our favourite being Le Cabanon Bleu which was a 10 mins walk away. The apartment was very well equipped, we can't think of a single thing it was missing, and was spotlessly clean. We loved the bright decor and found all the furniture to be very comfortable. Our favourite bit was without doubt the balcony area - we spent as much time out there as we could. It became our daily ritual to go to the boulangerie, pick up a couple of croissants or baguettes and spend the next hour or so admiring the amazing view while enjoying a leisurely breakfast in the sunshine. We loved our first trip to Corsica and are so glad we chose this apartment as our place to stay...we're back home now and the UK feels very gloomy in comparison! Thanks again, Anne and Stu.
One word describes the house and the owner; Fantastique!! The owner´s description and the photos of the house are accurate and correct. It is very well equipped. We did not miss anything. The house was 100% clean and all the textiles (sofa pillows, towels, bedsheets ) smelled clean and fresh of washing powder. The house is situated in a very quiet residential area. Taxi from the airport will cost you about 35 Euro. The owner met us upon our arrival and showed us around the house and answered very friendly our questions. From the house, it will take you 5-10 min. slow walk to the beach. The same distance to the nearest supermarket (Carrefour, down by the beach) where you´ll also find beach-restaurants. Every morning we walked down to the nearest boulangeri (bakery). It took us 15 min. to walk down, buy our baguettes and walk back home. A slow walk takes you to centre ville/old town in 15 min. Less than 1 min. from the house, you´ll find the bus stop for bus nr 7 that takes you to centre ville/old town in 10 min if the traffic is not too heavy. The bus runs not too often, about every 40 min. Please note that it is not suitable for wheelchair-users as you have to climb some stairs to enter the house. If you think the stairs inside the house will be a problem, do not think about it, the 1st floor has a kitchen, the living room (with a sofabed), a separate WC, a shower room and the terrace. On the 2nd floor, you will find 2 bedrooms with 1 bed (200X140cm) in each room, a bathroom with WC and a bathtub. A big “merci beaucoup” to the owner and his very friendly family. This is the best place we have ever stayed. We would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful house. Enjoy the house, Ajaccio and La Corse.
