Great accommodation in this Hostel, warm welcome, very friendly team, good quality bedding, superb cuisine, proximity to beautiful natural pools.
We came with our 6 month old baby, an umbrella bed immediately available, facilities for the storage of the stroller.
A family Hostel, ideally located, that will delight hikers and summer visitors.

Superb welcome in a magical place where locals, hikers and seasoned sportsmen rub shoulders. The place is magical surrounded by mountains which take on incredible colors at sunset. A glass (1 bottle) of biodynamic white wine from Clos Columbu and it’s heaven!

Chalet intelligently arranged with great charm. Simple but excellent evening meal: vegetable soup, lasagna, chocolate cake. Diversified breakfast. Very complete picnic even though we enjoyed the salad moderately. An unforgettable experience.

This was the first night for us on our walking trip along the Northern half of the GR20 and we were very pleased with the standard of accommodation we had here and felt out of the 6 nights we had on the walk this was the best room.
The room
We stayed in a double room, and got given the corner room which meant we got a small terrace with a picnic table to ourselves out of the French doors on one side and also had a lovely view up the valley from the window on the other side.
The room was also well sized, plenty of room to put suitcases if you had them though we only had backpacks as had to carry them!
The bathroom had a massive shower, easily big enough for 2 people and also a very nice modern bath.
The whole room felt like it had been done up recently and the standard of all the fittings was very good.
The food
If you are staying here for dinner then be prepared to be served very large portions! We were on a set menu that came with our room and each course was well cooked and tasty but was massive. We ended up sharing 1 lasagna between the 2 of us!
You can get sandwiches to take with you the next day if you want, though as a word of warning if you order a picnic this means it will be a salad and you need to provide your own lunch box or pot to take it in. We didn’t realise this and assumed the picnic would include a sandwich or similar but this is not the case anywhere that we stayed on our walk
The location
You can drive here relatively easily from Calvi so you don’t have to walk to get here. The Auberge is right out in the middle of the forest though so feels very quiet and remote with just the beautiful mountains all around. There would no doubt be plenty of good day walks from here as a base.
There are pools in the nearby river that you can swim in to cool off, however they were pretty cold when we went there in July.
The GR20 walk
For those of you considering doing the GR20 you can walk from Calenzana to here in 3-4 hours, and then walk to Haut Asco the following day. So you still do virtually all of the official GR20 but instead of staying at a mountain refuge where you will be in shared beds in a dormitory you get a comfy bed and a nice bath and shower! This was probably the nicest accommodation we stayed on during our 6 day walk.
We did this walk from Calenzana after having flown in to Corsica in the morning. If you do this be prepared to be walking in the heat of the afternoon and where it is much lower than most of the walk this means it is hotter still. The going is less tricky that the other days but there are still some pretty punchy climbs and for us it felt hard work as we had got up early to fly and the heat was 30+ so we weren’t used to it being British!
The next days walk to Haut Asco is an excellent walk and by the time you get out of the trees you are high enough that the heat isn’t so much. For ¾ of the day you will be climbing as it had 1500m of vertical ascent but the views to the coast are amazing and then a very steep descent down to Asco in the afternoon.

Auberge Foret has a great patio and restaurant, and situation is great.
However, forest makes place very cool (due to shadows) .
I had reserved a dormitore bed (chalet). In chalet there was no heating on, so I was sleeping in 10 degrees. Also bathroom was cold, and shower too.
Chalet itself was basic. Breakfast was good!

After some days out on the GR20, the Auberge was just what we needed. Comfy rooms, hot water, friendly staff, solid local fare at the restaurant - what's not to like? Can highly recommend substituting the arduous two last stage of the GR20 with the liaison via Auberge de la Forêt and Bocca u Corsu.

We spent a night in a tent set up as part of our Mare e Monti.
Very nice experience: beautiful setting, very pleasant staff, half board formula: hearty and good dishes.
A good address for a no-fuss night or just to enjoy the bar/restaurant.

The staff, as well as the surroundings, were pleasant!
Unfortunately, in the dishes (quinoa bowl and shepherd's salad), there were missing foods or were in tiny and microscopic quantities
In my opinion, it’s a tourist trap!!
