This is a beautiful place to have lunch with a nice view on Bastia! The terrace is so nice and we were warmly welcomed by Jean Luc! It was a real pleasure. The food was amazing ! Definitely recommend this place if you want to enjoy a perfect lunch or dinner .

We stayed at this hotel for a week in August 2004. The hotel and family owners are charming. The rooms are tastefully decorated and well equipped. Every room has a wonderful view down to the sea. Excellent value for money as the hotel is only 2star. The food was delicious- we were on half-board terms and enjoyed a good 3-course meal every evening on the beautiful tree-shaded terrace.
A terrible forest fire devasted the nearby area last year but luckily the hotel, its views and the immediate village were spared.
Disadvantages (or maybe advantages to some!). They don't speak any English so a smattering of French is very useful. The drive down to Bastia or the coast is winding and a you need strong nerves (but beautiful views if you like heights ). All in all, highly recommended.

This hotel is up in the hills, about 20 minutes' drive north of Bastia. When you arrive you are impressed by the absolutely stunning views, both from the restaurant terrace, and also from the rooms (if you have one facing the front, which I'd recommend).
So far so good. The staff are top-notch as well. Like most people we met in Corsica, they are extremely friendly and helpful, but very professional too. We found they made a great effort to speak English (moreso than I've found in other parts of France) so really I could not wish for anything better in this respect.
There is a nice swimming pool, however in early June we found it a little on the chilly side, presumably it's not heated.
Our room was pretty good. It was plain in terms of decor, but a sensible size (one double bed and a single for our daughter), and we could not cease to be impressed by the views across the hills, church towers and rooftops, and the sea towards Elba.
The restaurant is amazing. We just loved the interesting food, nicely presented, and excellent local wines. However we did find it expensive, getting towards 2x UK prices, even for wine (yep you read that right... in France!).
The main down-side is that this is "out in the sticks". The roads are well-surfaced but continuously bendy, so to get from here to Bastia, San Florent or other places it is at least a half or one hour's drive. A car is essential. There are not so many other places nearby to walk or drive to, but the nearest nice little place to drive to on the sea is Erbalunga, which you must visit for a coffee or a meal and a stroll.
We stayed a week at La Corniche, and after that time we felt it was long enough, and in retrospect wished we had stayed for a shorter time but moved around the island.
I would not hesitate to recommend La Corniche - both as a hotel or restaurant - but you should try to understand where it is and make sure it will suit the kind of holiday you are expecting.

Stayed here during the busiest part of August and yet high up above Bastia in San-Martino you can hear a pin drop. Church and goat bells dominate.
As well as the comfortable but basic en suite rooms, excellent food and pleasant service there is a small swimming pool and garden with some shady corners. Breakfast and dinner are served on the elevated terrace with unbeatable views of the sea with the island of Elba in the distance . The view plus the steady traffic of ferries and yachts heading for more distant ports of Nice and Livorno makes for therapeutic gazing.

Long April weekend for lovers in a romantic place. Chose it for very beautiful location and non-excessive price. Stayed there three nights but would have run away just after seeing the bathroom! Very dirty for our standards. Bath-tub just used as a shower because it was impossible to sit inside it. Washbasin and taps dirty from earlier users. I cleaned them as I could by myself. Location was beautiful indeed, but would never stay there again, also beacause of other problems: two breakfasts more on the bill and extra drinks we did not take! Also had a problem because of a little accident: I cut a hand during a walk on the mountains and lost some time to medicate. Called the hotel to know unitl what time they were present at reception in order not to disturb or remain outside. Really did not ask for someone to wait for us, only wanted to know if I had to rush down the mountain to get back or if we could drive carefully taking our time. The proprietor's husband answered the phone but was very annoyed and hung the phone without even saying goodbye. Annexed restaurant has a really good chef de cuisine and good service, not only for food, but also for wines. But be careful and also check the bill before paying.

We stayed two nights. When we booked I asked about Air con but was told that at 300 metres above sea level it was not required. Well the room was very hot. So we opened the windows and as the terrace of the restaurant is just below , we did not get to sleep until after 12.30 because of a late night group. The air con would have fixed this. It was the only hotel that we stayed in Corsica that did not have it. We stayed on a half board basis and the food was excellent. However you were treated rather like second class citizens for not being a la carte.The Maitre d never spoke to us once ! It may be a family run hotel but there was very little charm from them. I am fluent in French so that cannot have been the reason. A great shame as this could be an excellent hotel.

The hotel was overall a beautiful stay and great value.
Rooms: Extremely clean, comfortable pillows and linens, good size with great views of the mountains. Modern updated bathrooms and strong air conditioning.
Hotel Grounds: There’s a large pool atop a mountain. Large indoor sitting room with comfortable seating in a cute French style. There’s also a nice outdoor seating area next to the pool with a bar and plenty of shade.
Restaurant: The breakfast buffet was a cold buffet, but great selection of pastries and cakes, yogurts, breads, eggs, charcuterie and cheeses. The dinner at the hotel was amazing, and great service. I previously stayed at a 5 star hotel on the coast, and the dinner at la corniche was much better. You can’t get more calming views to watch the sunset over the mountains.
Staff: The staff was every friendly, and though they didn’t speak fluent English, were able to accommodate my needs and were pleasant.
Location: The hotel sits in a quiet village in the mountains. There is a small town with 2 restaurants within a 10 minute walk. It’s a 3 mile walk down to the beach, so a car is definitely needed.

I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. A family run, quiet, exclusive hotel with an air of friendliness and professionalism. Amazing food. A beautiful pool. And incredible views.
The hotel is very close to Bastia but a world away. It’s incredibly peaceful. Our room was practically an apartment complete with living room, air conditioning and a huge bathroom.
The restaurant is specular. The beignets de fromage frais are particularly special as was everything we had. The breakfast too was delightful. I’m vegetarian and they always went out of their way.
The service is second to none both here and at the Anziani family’s restaurant in the town about 100 yards away.
It was a pleasure to stay here and to meet such a refreshingly kind and devoted family who understood exactly what great, discrete and professional service means.
Finally - Corsica itself - is incredibly special. Nothing like mainland France. A real treat with crystal clear waters.

Our first trip to this hotel was in 2002. We arrived at night having driven from our ferry at Calvi. We had no idea what to expect. We had a lovely room with balcony and were pleasantly surprised to awake to a lovely sunny day and a stunning view looking down over the village and vivid blue sea beyond. The room was spacious and clean with an en-suite bathroom. Breakfast , and indeed all the meals that we had at the hotel, was served on the terrace. All the meals were very good although a bit limited on half board. The a la carte menu was very extensive and the restaurant was well patronised by people not staying at the hotel. The staff and owners were always very efficient, friendly and helpful. We had the option to eat from time to time at the family owned pizza restaurant, a short walk away in the village. The service here was equally good. We chose this hotel for a quiet, peaceful, get away from it all holiday and we weren't disappointed. We've returned on two further occasions since 2002.

We spent a week at this charming hotel in the hills enjoying the peace and tranquility of the surrounding countryside. The only sounds being the church bell and the swifts. Stunning views over the hills down to the sea. All the hotel staff were unfailingly kind and helpful. Although their English and our French was minimal we managed to make ourselves understood with lots of smiles and an excellent phrase book! Our room was clean and comfortable, and the food excellent. There is plenty of parking for your car, but as the restaurant is open to the public in the evenings, you may have to park in the road if you return later in the day. We would definitely re-visit.
