This was our second time to Calvi. The first time we stayed at Cyrnea hotel which was 2* but fine and basic. This time we wanted to be nearer town and A Merula was a real find and I am so glad we booked it. On arrival you walk through the grounds for Le Home apartments. Le Home and A... More

My husband and I just returned from Corsica. We rented a one bedroom apartment at A Merula for one week for 821 euros. We chose one of the more expensive apartments as we wanted an apartment with a balcony and a view of the gardens. The gardens and pool area are beautiful and well-maintained. The other guests were very considerate... More

As other travellers have written, the most striking feature upon arrival are the beautiful gardens - well tended, green and lush, even in the August heat after several weeks of no rain. The pool is lovely and the owner has not scrimped on pool furniture - there are sufficient sun loungers... More

The A Merula is a must for lovers of a quiet retreat close to Calvi town. plenty of free parking if you have a car, gorgeous lawned gardens tended by the owner Christophe. If you are a bird lover take your binoculars, as the gardens are frequented by dozens of small birds perching in the pines and shrubbery, blackbirds,woodpeckers, hoopo's,... More
