Huw's View

Hotel Genovèsé provides a unique setting and stylish accommodation in a truly panoramic position in the dramatic old town overlooking the port of Bonifacio. It is an excellent base from which to explore both the historic citadel with amazing views and the busy port and marina below.

The hotel is approached by car via very steep hills, but it is advisable to park and explore the town on foot. However, there are many steep steps connecting the port and the old town so guests can come back to the Genovèsé to relax by the pool in a peaceful setting or watch the boats through the ancient ramparts. 

This hotel is ideal for couples but due to its location and no lift, is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.

At the southern-most tip of the island, standing above the sheer white cliffs, stands the old town of Bonifacio with a maze of narrow cobbled streets and tall Genoese tenements lead down via steep steps to the chic, buzzing marina that attracts yachts from around the world. The 'Haute Ville' is well worth exploring and there is an array of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants both up in the old town, some with amazing views over the Straits of Bonifacio to Sardinia and lining the port.

There are some lovely beaches within easy reach by car and watersports available at the Plage de Piantarella and golf at the Sperone golf course enjoying panoramic views. There are many boat trips available from the marina to the caves that line the cliffs or to the stunning Lavezzi islands.
