Le Saint Erasme, Hotel Eco Friendly

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this hotel whilst on a tour of Corsica. We had a family room (double bed with a separate single in an alcove - which we used for luggage/as a dress room!) with a wonderful sea view across the hotel pool to the peninsula with its lighthouse, which was even more beautiful at sunset (see pic). One of the plus points for us with this hotel (contrary to the previous reviewer feedback) was the fact that we didn't have to spend circa 16 euros per person each morning on a buffet breakfast, unlike the other hotels we stayed in during our 2 weeks on the island. Here we were presented with a menu and could tick the items we wished to have and pay for them accordingly, ie hot drink, orange juice, pain au chocolat, croissant etc which worked out more economical and avoided us paying over the odds for food we didn't need. The pastries were also the best we had in a hotel during this holiday! Hot drink refills were available. The hotel pool was heated and lovely for a dip after a day out, and a real suntrap in the evening. There is a smallish car park belonging to the hotel and immediately behind it, but it isn't big enough when the hotel is full so some cars parked on the small side street and I think it may be a problem at peak times. Its a steep walk either down or up (depending on where you park) to reception so not good for those with limited mobility. It was a pleasant walk to the citadel and then down to the harbour for those of average fitness - one day we walked into town and took the train to Ile Rousse and back, which was scenic and a nice break from driving. There are some nice restaurants in the pedestrian street which runs one block back behind the harbour we would recommend A Cantina di Delia (tapas type dishes available which were very good) and Restaurant Santa Maria with al fresco dining in front of the church of that name.

This family run hotel is a wonderful place to stay. We felt welcomed and looked after by the staff. The breakfasts were good, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms were well designed and nice to use. Parking is a bit of a problem but not impossible and this would not deter me from staying in Le Saint Erasme again.

Wow ! Just wow ! We had booked a room with oceanview and were somehow upgraded to a quad-room with a HUGE terrasse overlooking the pool and the ocean. We could not have asked for a better room (209). Although the parking can be difficult to find, we were always able to find one at a reasonable location at or near the hotel. The hotel even had (medium-speed) chargers to boost our electric vehicle (5 Eur/hr) which was convenient. We enjoyed walking to town and to the port for dinner. (10 min walk to Port) We also enjoyed the pool after a very long walk (La Revellata) which can be taken directly from the hotel or go park your car a couple of miles away on the same road as the hotel to start the hiking trail to the lighthouse. We brought our bathing suits and snorkel gear for a stop at one of the many hidden beaches along the way. This hotel is very well located and well maintained. We stayed 2 nights and would not heaitate to return if we are ever back in Calvi.

We have stayed at Hotel Le Saint Erasme for many years and it is the perfect place to enjoy the town of Calvi. Everything is excellent; from the ambiance and decor of the hotel to the friendly, welcoming service by the team. The best situation to enjoy the magnificent views as well!

Everything has been perfect: well maintained structure, nice pool and breakfast format and smiling stuff. A bit far from the city centre but perfectly walkable in 10-15 minutes.

Our room was perfect for our little family with a beautiful view across to the lighthouse and enough space for our week away. The breakfast was a treat and the pool was clean and never too busy. The parking can be a hassle if you arrive late from a day out but also convenient as parking in Calvi is a pain anyway. Thanks to the lovely staff, Merci beaucoup
