La Signoria

An 18th-century estate tucked into seven-plus acres of palm, citrus, and pine outside Calvi, La Signoria is a hotel that trades heavily on the fact that Corsica is genuinely beautiful and it has a front-row seat. Original tiled floors, period beams, and antique furniture keep the old bones visible. A shuttle runs to the private beach, the mountains are a day trip away, and the restaurant pours from a wine list of 800 labels, Corsican bottles well represented.
