SOFITEL GOLFE D'AJACCIO THALASSA SEA & SPA Luxe

Sofitel Porticcio is a 5 star Accor Hotel overlooking the Ajaccio Bay. The surroundings are fabulous. The hotel construction is without charm and representative of the 1970's architecture but very comfortable. The rooms are renovated, most of them having a See view. The outdoor swimming pool is fantastic. the Hotel offers excellent service and good food. The Breakfast choice is outstanding. A perfect location for a week end in Corsica.

We were there in July for a business trip with my husbands work. My luggage had been lost and they were so kind and empathetic and helpful. We loved our room. Had a big balcony and we could hear the waves crashing. Loved the pianist playing each morning st s great breakfast. The bed was so comfortable! All great

The Hotel is uniquely located on the "Punta di Porticcio" with a view of Ajaccio opposite the bay. Sunsets are a unique experience. The breakfast is excellent and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very small and dated, a renewal would be most welcome. Drinks and diner are expensive. The pool is filled with salt water. There is sufficient parking space. As you leave the main road towards the hotel mind the 7 speed bumps which are not all indicated!

Our experience at this Hotel started on a horrible note as while arriving to check-in, my wife and I were informed that we were transferred to the nearby Radison Hotel for one night due to overbooking. We were both very angry knowing that we had already paid for our stay and that the Radison is not the same category Hotel. After an average stay at the Radison, we came back to Sofitel. We stayed one night at this Hotel and wished that we could have stayed longer. The location is amazing and i think that all the rooms have a sea view. You can enjoy a great sunset; also, worth mentioning that the hotel is located. 10 - 15 mins away from Ajaccio. We had a suite with a balcony; the room was very comfortable, coffee and tea were offered, the balcony by the sea was great. The swimming pool is nicely located, water is heated if i am not mistaken; it offered a nice experience; The different restaurants offered good food and drinks; service was good too. The Spa is also professional and up to the standard of big hotels'. Overall, despite our bad 1st night experience and despite the fact that we didn't have an apology from the hotel management or even a small gesture like a bottle of champagne in our room, i must admit that we really enjoyed our stay there! Recommended!

The location is great - easy access to Ajaccio and right on the beach with incredible views. The supporting parts of the hotel - the beach, the pool, the bar and restaurant are all really quite nice. The real downside - the rooms could use a major refresh. The bathroom is very dated and the rooms have a real 90's feel to them. The rooms are very clean and well furnished, just outdated. So, if you can get past the oldish design, all is good. As for the restaurant - the breakfast buffet is very nice with lots and lots of choices. For dinner the food was very, very good. The service was spotty and uneven. They really had a problem getting a couple of bottles of wine out and served.
