Agua Marina is a beautiful vacation-home base for spending a week or just a few days on Corsica’s stunning west coast. The hotel consists of a limited number of charming, spacious chalets, furnished in a simple, but quaint and thoroughly modern style. They feature a fully equipped kitchen, living room with pull-out bed and couch and bedroom, and, best of all, a balcony or patio to spend quiet evenings relaxing with a glass of wine - all in the midst of nature above the coastline. If you stay under a week, the chalet, cleaning is included and takes place after your departure. There’s a nice-sized, well maintained pool organically integrated in the common area. We loved the laid-back vibe of the staff of this family-run establishment and exchanged stories with Alexandre, the interesting owner. My absolute favorite part was lounging on the hotel veranda in the evening with its breathtaking view of the sun plunging into the sea below, while to our right, lush mountains offered a stark contrast. If you want comfort, modernity, peace and quiet combined with incredible views, Agua Marina has it all, with a friendly vibe you don’t find everywhere on Corsica.
