Hotel Restaurant & Spa E Caselle

Rude staff especially one breakfast lady. Average dinner. Olive oil from the supermarket. Limited menu choice. They hire bikes but dont bother to have maps not give any idea of routes. Zero care for client experience. We won’t come back. Can’t recommend. It’s not cheap either breakfast is 24 euros and nothing special. Can’t sit outside too many wasps.

We had a really enjoyable six night stay at eCaselle in early June, we particularly appreciated its natural setting in a wooded river valley. All the hotel’s staff were kind and attentive and all the food was of a high quality! It’s an ideal base for exploring beautiful central Corsica. Richard and Veronique

Lovely hotel in a pretty valley near Venaco. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room we had Was nice and had a patio near the river. The food in the evening and the breakfasts were very good. The swimming Pool is very good with lots of comfortable sun loungers. Only slight issue was our room had the wardrobe in the bathroom So not ideal. Our friends room had the wardrobe in the bedroom as you would expect.

We stayed 3 nights in early May in the 1-bedroom riverside suite. The hotel sits on its own in a rural location approximately a 10-minute drive to Venaco. The setting is on the river is tranquil and the property is rustic on the outside but modern on the inside. The grounds around the main building and rooms are nice although the placement of an old rusting American car containing a stuffed bird (presumably for ‘artistic’ reasons) detracted from the setting in our opinion. The suite is set in separate building overlooking the river and has an adjoining door to what we assumed was a second bedroom. We were unsure how effective the soundproofing would be if anyone was staying in the adjoining room as it seemed to be empty during our stay. The room was split level with the bedroom and bathroom on the upper level and a lounge area at the bottom. Both levels had a balcony. The wooden lounge chairs on the decks were a case of design over comfort and were not suitable for use to relax and enjoy the view over the river. The bathroom was small for a suite with only a shower and no bath. One really annoying point was the coffee in the room. The room had a coffee maker and there were two coffee pods and two teabags on the tray when we arrived. The coffee pods were not replenished on the second day so we went to reception to ask for more. We were told rather awkwardly that coffee/tea was not replenished. We asked if we could buy more coffee pods and were told perhaps and that they would find out. We were never given an answer. Considering we were given coffee/tea every day in other hotels in the area which cost a lot less money, being so ‘cheapskate’ over a few euros worth of coffee detracted from the overall experience. Whilst we enjoyed our stay in the hotel, the dining experience really lets the hotel down. Firstly, breakfast is listed on the website as 12€ pp. We were charged 19€ pp. The price would not have been too bad had the breakfast offering been good, but is wasn't. It consisted of bread, croissants/pain au chocolat, 3 types of cereal, some cheese, a basket containing a few bits of fruit, yoghurt, self-serve coffee and juice. For the price charged you would expect more (i.e. table service, fruit salad, hot food (e.g. eggs, bacon etc) and at least some home made goods such as granola. Dinner was equally as bad. The staff were all over the place and service was chaotic. The menu was limited and the main dishes were ‘odd’ i.e. sardines with hummous, tuna carpaccio! On the second night I ordered the tuna but was given the sardines again. After having waited over an hour for the food I didn’t have the energy to return it. The sardine was half the size of the one I had the previous night and after 30 mins dealing with the hundreds of small bones, I figured there had been a teaspoon of actual sardine on my plate. The desserts were ok but so small they were eaten in a few spoons. The restaurant was so disappointing that we could not face a third nig

The hotel is located close to a river where you can swim with direct access from the hotel. Cool! The pool area is really nice with a quite big pool and a superb vue. We had a very special room designed by an artist with a nice terrace. Re. size the room is okay, the bathroom is quite small. We liked our room from a styling perspective, but since there is no aircon you either have to use the fan or it becomes warm and humid immediately. The staff is very friendly and breakfast is good. However, it is too expensive. If it were included in the room rate the overall pricing would be fine. The food in the restaurant was okay, but also too expensive. That's why it is only 4*. It is a good location for hinking tours in Corte area and the area South of Venaro.

This is the 4th time we’ve stayed here and the hotel has had a fantastic upgrade. The staff were efficient and helpful and the room and food were excellent. We’ll be back! Next time we’ll try the new spa.
