01 · In a sentence

Grand Hôtel de la Scala in Calacuccia.

Perched at 1,000 meters elevation in Corsica's central highlands, Grand Hôtel de la Scala commands sweeping views across the Restonica Valley and surrounding peaks.

Stone architecture anchors the property into the mountainous terrain, where pine forests meet dramatic ridgelines.

The location offers both alpine isolation and access to Calacuccia's village amenities.

Fantastic stay here! My wife had stayed for a night 18 months ago on a bike tour and the owners immediately recognised her and even returned a charging cable she'd left in her room. Unbelievable level of service. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was great lots of local products to choose from. The owners couldn't have been more helpful directing us to biking routes and telling us about local races. It'0s a great place to stay with lots of great mountain biking and road biking in the valley. We will definitely be making this a place to come back to next time we're in Corsica.
