La Villa is a luxury property with stylish surroundings, breathtaking views, and 50 swish rooms, suites, and villas. Its location a 15-minute drive from Calvi is serene, as are views from outdoor poolside terraces and most of the rooms. Rooms are high-end and chic, outfitted with iPod docks, furnished terraces, and marble bathrooms that have both tubs and separate showers. While larger units have up to four bedrooms, the subdued vibe and gastronomic Michelin-starred dining attract more couples than families, despite there being a kiddy pool. An indulgent spa, private beach (off-site), tennis court, and fabulous outdoor spaces are designed for peace and quiet, but prepare for steep prices. For a downtown stay that's lighter on the wallet, consider the Hotel Le Saint Erasme.
