We consider ourselves lucky to have found this hotel and that there was room for my wife and me at relatively short notice in mid-June (2013). The price was excellent and the setting was terrific with a lovely view, beautifully clean swimming pool with nice, and plentiful, furniture. The owners were charming, helpful and straightforward in their dealings - an altogether well run business. We were looking for somewhere special to celebrate a birthday and this offered everything we could have wished for. We had Room 4 with had a peekaboo view of the sea (Rooms 1, 2 and 3 had full views). We enjoyed the location with its proximity to a variety of restaurants and beach bars. Quite a haul into Ajaccio (10-15 kms) which was okay with me. It was quiet and perfectly situated for all day sun and sunsets. The breakfast was all we could have wanted and kept us going all day. Getting to this hotel wasn't as difficult as we expected - consistent with the hotel's efficient manner, there are striking pale blue signs along the roads clearly indicating the Kalliste Hotel. There was no A/C in our room but the fan helped - I don't remember this being a problem. I highly recommend this hotel for discerning travelers who want a touch of local flavour without the trimmings, and expense, of a higher end, luxury, beachfront hotel.
