The Local Area

Hotel Mariana is set back from the seafront in an elevated position yet 500m from Calvi town centre, port and beach. It is approximately 1km walk to the historic citadel, an imposing landmark that dominates the town.

Originally a small fishing port, Calvi has always been a historically significant town, having been occupied by the Genoese who built the town’s impressive citadel and was host to the Siege of Calvi in which Horatio Nelson lost an eye. It is also reputed to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. 

The town has an excellent selection of café bars and restaurants as well as a long sandy beach stretching 6.5km from 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 high season. A magnet for opulent yachts and their well-heeled owners, Calvi is one of the most popular tourist towns on the island.

The coastal railway connects Calvi with the village of Algajola and historic town of L’Ile Rousse eastwards along the north coast, offering guests the chance to explore the local area without needing a hire car.  For the more adventurous, the tourist train also connects with Corte, the ancient capital of Corsica, and also the larger towns of Bastia and Ajaccio.

For those with a hire car, the tranquil villages in the La Balagne countryside set in the surrounding hills offer the opportunity to experience the unspoilt beauty of the backdrop to Calvi. Further inland, amongst Laricio pines, chestnuts and holm oaks of the Fango and Bonifatu forests, there are walking routes to suit all levels of ability. Calvi also offers boat trips to the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Scandola and there are range of excursions available to see more of the island.
