Great place to walk after dinner. And for entertainment there is the house where columbus is said to have been born with a big stone and a plac and a flagpole. Then there is the columbus square down by the parkinglot and a columbus statue. All for laughs, as he was born in Genova -:) More

Calvi, Corsica one of the best places to ride a motorcycle in Europe. The most fantastic mountain roads with spectacular scenery including snow topped peaks and panoramic views down to the ocean. There are more hairpins and switchbacks than you could possibly imagine along with quiet little villages with their own quaint restaurants. Absolutely no traffic (I may have overtaken... More

Hotel bar and room facilities poor but otherwise excellent hotel. Evenings chilly so pack something warm. Calvi highly recommended. More

Very quiet both in terms of people and traffic and with fantastic views of Calvi and across Calvi bay. A Scola (opposite the door to the cathedral) serves ice-cold Corsican beers and we were lucky enough to get seats outside with a view down the narrow streets to the harbour and mountains behind.

It's beautiful and there's an amazing view. Also at night the view is spectacular because of all the lights. If you're in Calvi, you should definitely take a walk at the Citadel. You could also have a drink or dinner there, but if you want to have dinner at a table with a view then book in advance. More

The medieval citadel at Calvi offers unparelled views of Calvi and the surrounding areas and with it's narrow, largely pedestrianised, streets and tall buildings it is a peaceful and cool retreat from the comparative hurly-burly of the town during the summer months. The citadel offers a number of restaurants and - surprise, surprise - a salon de the, just opposite... More
