Hôtel Mariana

Calvi


This efficient modern hotel, a short walk up from the train station on the southern edge of town, may lack historic charm, but the rooms are smart and comfortable, with large balconies that give great views, especially on the upper floor. There’s also a nice rooftop pool with sauna.
