History & Story
Builder in the soul, Jean-Pierre Pinelli designed La Villa in 1992, with the architect Stéphane Maresz. In 1995, the hotel became Relais & Chateaux. La Villa, up in the hills above Calvi, is an exceptional experience. The first impression is the view – the grounds of the hotel overlooking Calvi bay and the town, with the silhouette of its proud citadel. According to the time of day, the light subtly changes this unique panorama. The site of the hotel was originally a monastery, before it reverted to nature. The layout of the grounds respects and magnifies this feature. Set in 3 hectares, this nature is made beautiful by the skill of the guardians. Rows of Cypress, copses of myrtle, bushes and shrubs with the aroma of the maquis – each walk is a discovery.
The Nights of The Villa : in the center of a patio, under the look of Notre-Dame de la Serra), the amphitheater of the hotel is intended to receive during the season some concerts of classical music, it is equipped with a piano Steinway of concert
