Nice room with a delightful view of the harbour, good choice of breakfasts and friendly staff. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lift, but this seemed to be the case in many hotels in Corsica. There’s no lack of places to eat and sleep here, but if I return to Porto I will make this hotel my first choice. The beach at... More

The location of La Calypso is hard to beat, overlooking the Porto Marina, which boast day trips to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Scandola Nature Reserve and offers easy access to some amazing hikes and drives along the west coast of Corsica. The rooms feature A/C, necessary in July when we were visiting, at least during the day. The... More

We spent a night here while exploring Corsica and were able to get a room on short notice. The rooms were comfrotable but unremarkable. Convenient location right in town, many shops, restaurants, and boat trips nearby. Breakfast was simple but good.

La Calypso, found on-line, turned out to be a great small hotel in a busy enough little seaside town. Mrs Poggioli is most professional, helpful and very friendly, as is her staff. Our room was spacy, clean, with a nice balcony overlooking the harbor and romantic sunsets in the evening. It had AC, which was nice, even the last week... More

We found La Calypso in Porto, Corsica on line, and by reading T.A. reviews, and were not disappointed. We just stayed 3 nights earlier this month (July) (having booked it in June - although the high season, there were still some rooms available for July and it did not seem overrun - Aug is probably another story), and would happily...

This hotel was pleasant enough. The room was nicely decorated and clean and had a balcony opening onto the harbour. It was comfortable and quiet at night. The bathroom was a good size but didn't have a hook to place the shower handle so you had to hold it while showering (or have a bath) which was annoying. If you... More

This hotel is not in Porto , but on the marina side.It took us a while to figure it out...but we were quite happy about this location....In the morning it's great to watch everyone getting organize for the various boat trips and a night it's more quiet since all the action is on the other side....Our room was very spacious...

Lovely small hotel in probably the best location in Porto overlooking the port/harbour and close to all the restaurants and bars and even the beach. We had a superior room I think and were very happy with it - quite spacious. The best bit was the balcony overlooking all the boat activity. A lovely spot to sit and have a... More

Stayed for 5 days at Hotel Calypso, and absolutely loved it! The room itself is huge, tasteful, cheery and welcoming; the bed very comfy, the balcony perfect for marina views and people watching, the A/C excellent (on VERY hot August days and nights, good A/C is a must), and the bathroom sparkling and well equipped. The location of the hotel... More

Spacious room, we were given a triple room for 2 during high season. Bang on the port next to everything. Friendly hostess, clean room, some with balcony. Comfy, and good value for what you get in the area. At 2 minutes walk from the beach (bring rubber-pebble beach shoes!) Recommended.
