La Chiappa Tours and Activities

I came in December, which is their low season, so I was basically one of the very few people staying at the hotel. The receptionist was only around for the check-in. The cleaning staff only showed up once. The rest of the time, they expect you to call if you need help, which is not realistic for foreign travellers, especially if you are not fluent in French or Italian. The building is locked, so basic safety is not an issue. However, when the internet went out, I had no way to contact anyone except to leave sticky notes in several places. It took a day for a cleaning staff to find one of my notes and help me get on their secondary wifi. I had to pay very expensive roaming data fee to make sure that I had means to communicate with the outside world, considering how empty the town gets after dark. In addition, the room is only clean in the high-traffic area. The dining room/sun room in my unit, for example, is not clean. The pool was full of algae. It is really too bad. The hotel has such a nice set-up and amenities, especially for rural Corsica. It could have been so much better, almost luxurious.

Location for the view is amazing. Excellent value
