Résidence Pascal Paoli

It's literally 20 meters from the beach, making this a great base for summer trips around the region. The kitchen is small but has a stovetop, fridge, and all the tableware needed for four. There are two bedrooms, a sofa bed, and a bathroom that's handy for rinsing off before heading to the beach. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and happy to help throughout your stay.

The staff were great, and the rooms were clean and stylishly furnished. Everything matched the description. We also enjoyed the tasty snacks at the beach restaurant, and you walk straight from the hotel onto the beach. What more could you ask for?

The apartment was pleasant and well located, with a sea view, a nice clean room, and a very friendly welcome. But it was poorly equipped, with no washing machine and not enough toilet paper, among other things. Towels and sheets weren't provided or included in the price, and paying an extra €10 for them felt outrageous given how expensive the stay already was. The other guests were rather noisy too.

The mini-villas have been recently renovated and are quite adequate overall. The location is ideal if you want to cut down on driving, and the welcome was very friendly. Still, for similar prices in the same town, we found the amenities much better elsewhere. The apartment was severely under-equipped, and we were told that providing a washing machine would be too much work. At least the laundromat is right next door. The welcome kit had a sponge, a roll of toilet paper, a sachet of dish soap, and floor cleaner, but we had to ask for a dish towel. One other thing, the mini-villas that don't face the sea cost the same but look out onto a rather noisy public garden.
