An elegant country house estate caught between mountains and sea in the wonderful bay of Calvi, La Signoria provides luxurious characterful accommodation with many wonderful facilities.

On the outsirts of Calvi, with the magnificent mountains of Corsica as backdrop and the wide bay in front, this Genoese luxury hotel property, formerly ‘La Paratella’ the home gifted to Mr Murat de la Serpriere by Louis XV, offers elegant luxury accommodation to guests. The charming Eighteenth Century rooms are each individually styled with the aid of exuberant colours and voluptuous fabrics and open onto the swimming pool and garden.

Colourful ‘trompe l’oeil’ is everywhere in the bar and restaurant echoeing scenes of Corsica and complimented by imaginative furnishings and decoration - it creates a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bar, restaurant and rooms are in different buildings of the old house and so one moves between each along flower and shrub-lined paths in the lovely gardens of eucalyptus and hundred-year-old olives.

La Signoria Mare is the restaurant and private beach, located on the Grand Plage de Calvi, for the exclusive use of guests. The chef here creates delicious Corsica cuisine from seafood and fish, fresh from the port in Calvi and in the dining room at La Signoria, the cuisine is a superb combination of authentic and traditional Corsican flavours with a touch of modern flair.

La Signoria is ideally placed to take advantage of Calvi’s bustling cosmopolitan scene or to head off into the wild mountains of the interior - creating wonderful contrast with this luxury Corsica hotel. Alternatively spend the afternoon at the private beach or relax by the pool. There are many restaurants and lovely little towns dotted around the area and one has always the comforting thought of returning to this wonderfully peaceful and relaxing hotel, ideally situated, right in the middle of it all.
