The 13th-century Genoese citadel of Calvi dominates the skyline of the old town: perched on a rocky promontory and bathed on three sides by the vivid blue of the Mediterranean, it has become one of the island's most iconic images, especially if you are lucky enough to approach it by sea.

There are a few steps up to this spacious studio which is located on the first floor of a character building, ideal for a couple with ample space for living and sleeping and superb views of the sea and mountains from its terrace.

Another advantage of this location in the old town is that there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance, whether in the citadel itself or on the seafront at Quai Landry below. Calvi's stunning sandy beach is also a 15-minute walk away.

You will be charmed by the medieval atmosphere that reigns in this historic district, where every street corner tells a story.
