We love this old town location that puts you right in the middle of the most picturesque and historic part of Calvi. With views over the sea and the streets below, this charming studio is tucked away in a romantic spot made for two.
Description
Perched above the narrow alleyways along the citadel walls in central Calvi, this studio apartment is tucked away high above the town with beautiful sea and island views. Although little has changed in this area of town for hundreds of years, this penthouse apartment has undergone a thorough renovation with comfy modern amenities and style.
Accessed by a steep stone stairway, the apartment is in a prime location, and features a large and bright, open plan living room that shares the space with the sleeping area. With a fully equipped kitchen and bath, the space is ideal for two. The living spaces open out to a private terrace that features an ingenious built-in wooden bar where you can enjoy your morning coffee or cocktails with stunning uninterrupted views. Come experience the history and beauty of Corsica from your own private hideaway.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
TV, Housekeeping (on demand).
AROUND
The seafront town of Calvi is perfect for walking and exploring with plenty of cafes and shops to enjoy within walking distance. The famous Citadel towers over the town and is part of the interesting history of fortresses and Roman remains in the area. Head down to the waterfront at Quai Landry below and a little further for stunning sandy beaches within about fifteen minutes on foot. Calvi is also just ten minutes the picturesque and charming village of Lumio where you can explore Le Clos Colombu the famous “wine cave” which offers a fascinating look at the wine making process and delicious tastings. To the north you’ll find a wonderful and wild beach of l’Ostriconi and further south, is the “Calanches de Piana” with incredible red rock formations above the sea for exploring. Be sure to take the drive along “Route des Artisans“, which crosses through several charming Corsican villages like Pigna, Corbara and San Antonino. Venture further to the national parks and outlying beaches for stunning island beauty.

We have found Calvi Loft an inspiring and uplifting place to stay.
The views are spectacular and the attention to detail in the sympathetic renovation is stunning.
We loved spending time here and discovering a Calvi life which we had not seen on our previous visit.
It is also a brilliant base to explore the Balagne.
We recommend the gorgeous natural swimming polls in the Vallée du Fango (D351) and the winding drive in the D81 is worth the effort to reach Porto and its unique square Genovese tower and picturesque beach.
Closer to “home”, the drive along the D151 to Calenzana, Casano, Monemaggiore, Cateri and Aregno is a beautiful and interesting day trip, with a side- excursion to the vertiginous and awe-inspiring Sant-Antonino.
We look most forward to returning and to sitting on the terrace taking in the gorgeous vista.

This is our second time in Calvi and we still love it and also this apartment.
It is perfect in every way – the design and attention to detail, not to mention the view!

We’ve had a terrific time staying at Calvi Loft.
The apartment is superb, quite how the owner managed to create such a wonderful place with all those steps between the car park and the front door is a total mystery tour.
We’ll have no hesitation in recommending Calvi Loft to our family and friends.
It is our first visit to Corsica and it won’t be our last. We’ve fallen in love with Corsica

Would just like to say what a lovely holidays we have had. Calvi Loft was more than we expected. The owner has made a fantastic job. Can’t imagine the time and effort he has put in (with all those steps) but well worth it. View’s amazing and well worth the time a day walk from town up 247 steps. Great now having WiFi. So lucky being the first people to stay here.

P.S. Hope we will be able to return to Calvi Loft in the future.
