The Local Area

Hotel La Caravelle boasts an enviable position being very close to the beach but also only a short walk to Calvi town, marina and its historic citadel, an imposing landmark that dominates the town. 

Originally a small fishing port, Calvi has always been a historically significant town and, having once been occupied by the Genoese, is reputed to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. The town features a selection of excellent bars, restaurants and cafés as well as an idyllic 6.5km sandy beach next to the cosmopolitan marina and overlooked by the old town. 

With its gently shelving sands, turquoise waters and fantastic position, the beach is widely considered to be one of the most picturesque on the island yet is rarely busy outside of the high season. A magnet for opulent yachts and their well-heeled owners, Calvi is one of the most popular tourist towns on the island.

Huw's View

La Caravelle is an ideal choice for those looking for a comfortable, well located, good value 3 star hotel.

It is ideally situated opposite the beach and within easy walking distance of Calvi town so will suit both those wishing to relax and those looking for a base to explore Calvi and the local area. The nearby railway offers access to the enchanting village of Algajola and the contrasting, lively town of L’Île Rousse.
