If you go to Corsica, it surely is for adventure and nature. So, Best Western Santa Maria is the place to stay in the north at least. We traveled from Calvi to Bastia and we would have stayed at another hotel for any consideration. It is right by the sea, away from heavy traffic and pollution, close to very tipical... More

A lovely hotel in an ideal location. Situated by the little port right next to the sea. A short stroll into town where we found some fabulous restaurants. Our room was modern, clean and stylish although a little small ( not a problem when you are out all day ). Free wi fi. Towels provided for the beach and pool... More

We travelled to Corsica from Nice on the Ferry. Tip: Although there is a taxi rank at the I'lle Rousse Ferry terminal.....there are no taxi's there. We felt that there was no other choice then to walk to the town, only to realise that our hotel was a 5 minute walk away - boy were we glad we didn't get... More

Stayed here on arrival in the Ile Rouse by ferry from Nice, very convenient as it's only 200 yards from the small port. The views from the bedroom were fabulous - waves were about 20 yards from our 1st floor balcony. The hotel itself is nice enough - bedroom and bathroom were fairly small, but the balcony and view more... More

We picked Santa Maria as it was five minute walk from the SNCM ferry terminal and stayed here for one night before moving down the Island. We were really tired and we were warmly welcomed. The hotel is nicely decorated and furnished. Lovely gardens and breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was a treat. It has a pool area... More

Santa Maria is a small and comfortable hotel. It's located near the small port at Ile Rousse, away from the towns and its many restaurants although they are only within a few minutes walk away Rooms are clean and tidy and maintained well over our stay with air conditioning whilst it advertises cable tv only french programmes could be obtained...

The Santa Maria is in an excellent position. We had a sea view on first floor and were able to look out over the rock and also the ships coming and going from the port. The hotel was spotlessly clean and had plenty of places to sit in comfort as well as the sunbeds on the beach. The pool is... More

Had two weeks in Corsica. The first week we stayed in a small two star hotel in Corte the second week we spent at the Santa Maria. We had a double room from which you could walk out onto the beach. The hotel is in an excellent position, just far enough out of the town centre but still easy to... More

Don't know where to start! First of all definitely don't book it through Corsican Places, lots more expensive and don't get anything extra (apart from transfer and still loads cheaper to do do independently). Big stretch of French Tourism boards imagination to call it a 3 star hotel. In our opinion a 2 star hotel. Double rooms, can just walk... More
