Built in 1960, Kalliste occupies a landmark position overlooking the Bay of Ajaccio on Corsica's western coast.
The hotel underwent extensive restoration to preserve its mid-century architecture while introducing modern amenities for contemporary celebrations.
Set at 51 Cours Napoléon, this seafront property offers unobstructed Mediterranean views and is both accommodation and event venue.
The only reason I didn't give five stars was the breakfast. It was just ok. However the reception staff were brilliant and could not have been more helpful. The room was cleaned every day and was very comfortable.
