Why people love it
- Jo, the owner. Named in almost every review. Guests describe a warm welcome, a late arrival met with a very early breakfast, and help planning onward travel from the GR20 to Calvi.
- Homemade pizza. Several guests in 2026 say Jo makes pizzas himself in the on-site pizzeria, built in a medieval style.
- The pool and views. Guests mention the pool and garden, with views of the mountains and of Montegrosso.
- Rooms for hikers. Guests describe modern, clean, air-conditioned rooms with a small refrigerator, a breakfast that can be served very early, and a shuttle service.
The worst thing guests say
In 58 Google reviews the lowest rating is 2 stars, from June 2022. That guest said the rooms are right next to each other so there is little privacy. In September 2026 a 5-star guest noted the shower and toilet were in portable boxes with no lights. Recent reviews contain no complaints about cleanliness or service.
Insider tips
- Starting the GR20? Ask Jo about the early breakfast.
- Jo has offered taxi and shuttle help, so ask when you book.

Who it's for: hikers and couples who want a friendly host, a pool and a home-cooked pizza.
