BARTOLOZZI CHRISTOPHE

We spent our first 4 days of our honeymoon here and it was perfect. It is beautiful hotel, it felt like we stayed in someone's home. The staff was so kind and welcoming and always with a smile who ever we met. The breakfast had homemade jams, and they take big proud in severing local dishes, dinner in the restaurant was also very very good. Erbalunga is small place, with a beautiful small harbour, some good bars and several different restaurants, go early in the morning and see the sun rise, it is worth a early start of the day, we will be back!

Lovely hotel located on Cap Corse opposite what use to be a small fishing village on a small inlet which now has a variety of restaurants. ||The hotel which is a converted villa plus additional outlying buildings with guest rooms. The rooms are a good size stylishly furnished with a featured wall paper & art as well as a cabinet with a variety of books. Red is the prominent colour. My room had a small outdoor terrace. The bed was very comfortable. ||The TV had no English language stations. There was wifi throughout although a bit patchy at times. ||The bathroom is adequate but unfortunately has a shower over the bath which was a bit small for me. ||There is a main swimming pool & jacuzzi as well as another pool for the outlying two storey building with other guest rooms. ||There is a main outdoor terrace for drinks or breakfast. The breakfast had a good selection which included made to order egg station. The pasties were delicious. ||I was with a small tour group & we had dinner at the hotel which was tasty also delicious. Staff were excellent. ||Would have liked to have spent more than one night here. It’s a gem.

I had the suite in the main building. On the top floorso low ceilings and could get quite hot so I definitely wouldn’t recommend it during the summer; nonetheless, great staff and enjoyed myself. Great view of the mountains and the sea from the top.

We were disappointed with the hotel in general. Despite the setting, they have squeezed too many rooms onto the property and the common areas as not dimensioned to match. The model is very much one of guests staying for 2/3 days max and using the hotel as a base rather than relaxing there. This was clear from the fact that any time we used the small gym later in the morning we were sharing it with hotel staff. I have never come across that before. Though the restaurant serves good food and breakfast is good, the evening menu is short and set and only the special of the day provides variety. Again, not setup for longer stays. The room was dated and dark, and while clean, not conducive to relaxing and reading, while the common areas are limited in size and not comfortable furnished. Fortunately we were able to get out and about, I would not be happy if we had selected this as a place to kick back and relax. Do not plan to stay more than a night or two.

Lovely hotel with comfortable spotlessly clean room that oozed character. Friendly staff throughout and very restful. A very short walk into the quaint village leading to the little harbour. A good choice of local restaurants. Hotel breakfast was good. Nothing not to like.

Everything about the hotel is charming. The buildings and gardens are charming, the rooms are charming, the staff on reception are charming, the poll areas are charming and the courtyard restaurant is charming. The village of Erbalunga is also charming. We went to unwind and relax for a couple of days. It was perfect.

Our stay at Castel Brando was enjoyable overall, but not without a few bumps along the way. We booked a superior room, which was spacious and well-appointed with comfy armchairs, a quaint little bookshelf full of books, and even a Tivoli Bluetooth speaker – a delightful touch for our music. The small balcony overlooked the modest pool, and while we weren’t graced with a sea view, the room's charm made up for it... mostly.||The bed, however, was on the small side, and at this stage, the mattress and pillows have seen better days. A refresh here would do wonders.||The hotel boasts two pools – one larger, heated, and quite inviting, which we used often. Unfortunately, the Jacuzzi appeared to have misunderstood its job and offered only cold water. A minor detail, but one that did dampen (quite literally) our enthusiasm for a soak.||The grounds are extensive and pleasant, with a garden and a winter terrace, where the furniture walks a fine line between "quaint" and "you-might-find-this-in-grandma's-attic." Still, it adds a certain charm.||Free parking was a lifesaver, especially given the tight parking situation in the village.||The staff at reception? Fantastic. Kind, professional, and always ready to assist. Housekeeping, on the other hand, could benefit from some motivation. There's definitely room for improvement there, and it’s the only thing holding this place back from being a stellar experience.

Lovely hotel in a small village. Free yoga classes on Thursdays. Jazz concerts. The beaches at a walk distance are okay. The garden is wonderful.
