The setting is wonderful along the Restonica Valley along the river among the trees and within a couple of kilometers from the information hut at Chjarasgiolu and the starting point of many walks and hikes. You hear the burble of the river day and night, perfect white noise. Swimming in the river at various spots is a highlight of my stay in Corsica. I'd read with some of the more critical reviews of the hotel and the responses from management and arrived ready for a bit of a cheeky attitude, which I duly received and played along. Take it in your stride. The room was large, clean and simply furnished. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was on full blast and didn't want to turn off when we entered the room, but we managed to tame it. It was useful to dry kit on even in mid summer. The pool and jaccuzzi were welcome. There's a terrace overlooking the river. Take water shoes if you don't have Hawaiian feet. Breakfasts were the usual 3* buffet with a few cooked things, cold cuts, cheese, cereal etc. and lots of cakes, self service on a plastic tray, drinks to order. A couple of tips on transport to and from the hotel without a car: it's two kilometers from the train station, not great walk as a lot of the road is without pavements. There's a taxi service that needs to be booked well in advance and no Ubers to speak of. The Restonica shuttle bus runs to and from the station along the road the hotel is on, but there isn't an official stop there. The app for tickets is far from user friendly. We asked the drivers to drop us off by the hotel and offered them something for their assistance. For the evening, the hotel next door has a very good restaurant with a terrace overlooking the river, about three minutes' walk away, we ate there two nights running. The Jardins de la Glacier has its own restaurant further along the road which we didn't try. But there are options if you don't want to go into Corte to eat.
