Step into the intricately embroidered shoes of Genoese nobility at this Relais & Chateaux hotel a mere 5 minutes from downtown Calvi. A grand manor home in the 18th century, La Signoria was lovingly updated by a local family to offer all the luxuries expected by discerning 21st century travellers whilst retaining the property’s historic character.
The large guestrooms at La Signoria all feature separate living areas and are tastefully decorated with antiques. Balconies and terraces overlook the gorgeously landscaped gardens and dramatic mountains that surround this bucolic estate, dotted with fruit trees and gnarled grape vines planted centuries before.
Sublime meals crafted from local ingredients are served either outside on the sun-drenched terrace or inside the light-filled Michelin star restaurant. The atmospheric bar takes you back to a bygone era, with its ornate stained glass windows, leather armchairs and original 19th century zinc countertop.
The decadent Spa Casenera is well worth a visit, offering an array of treatments inspired by the beauty rituals of Corsican women. Another highly recommended activity is an excursion to one of Calvi’s finest beaches - located just 4km from the hotel. Speak to your helpful concierge to reserve lunch, dinner or sunbeds on this idyllic stretch of white sand.
