What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Exquisitely refurbished house with a peaceful atmosphere and a very helpful host who spoke clearly for our English ears. Very comfortable beds and spotless bathroom. Our room had a double bed and a bunk bed for the children, separated by a partition for privacy. Ample breakfast delivered in baskets, and hazel nuts from the garden for you to crack. Highly recommended. There isn't much to do in Bastelica during the day except explore the hills; we went up to U Canale and swam near the waterfall which was idyllic. We weren't able to try the equestrian Ranch which was fully booked. The town has several restaurants; one we tried was excellent, another unremarkable.”
“Un logement plein de charme, les chambres et les communs sont d'une délicatesse rustique mais très fonctionnel. Les petits déjeuners avec des produits locaux délicieux, pris dans le jardin rempli de noisettes. Un havre de paix. Merci à Christophe, notre hôte”
“Très belle demeure située en plein centre du village. Intérieur bien décoré avec plancher en bois ancien. En cette période un peu froide, la mise en route des chauffage est rapide. Bon petit déjeuner Une belle parenthèse automnale Je recommande”
“Incredible experience staying in A Bella Scusa! The house is very rustic and beautifully decorated, breakfast was great and the host is super friendly. We went on two amazing hikes that were recommended and ate twice local Corsican food in his restaurant 400m further from the B&B. Highly recommended if you are looking to experience Corsica through its nature and mountains. Thank you!”
“This accomodation was beautiful! Very nice rooms. The B&B is renovated in 2018; old details en modern furniture are combined very well. A really cosy general area for having breakfast or to drink and eat something (purchased ourselves) in the evening. The owner is really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was okay (not really expanded/sweet) and is as the French are having it. The environment is really beautiful. I would really recommend this place.”
