Hotel La Corricella

Such a magical island. The hotel is perfectly situated on the water with spectacular views. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious - we had the superior room with private terrace that was huge and beautiful (though could use some more artwork on walls - and a new couch) This is a walking island - so be prepared. Lots of steps. Hotel can arrange for boat taxi transfer from the dock for 30 euros. Taxi from dock is 15 euros flat fee - don't let them cheat you (which unfortunately they will try to). There is an easy and cheap bus to get you to other end of island. This hotel has a restaurant attached which is also very very good.

We stayed there mid September and it is a really a nice little place! Martha was perfect during the booking process and while we were there as she speaks really good french and that made things easier! The room was so spacious and comfortable! I see in other reviews some comments about the pillows and i have to agree...although the mattress was great, the pillows were really hard and my neck was really hurting at the end of our 2 nights there. We didnt have the chance to try their restaurant but it seems like a very popular spot. The breakfast was really average though but considering the price you pay (more than reasonable) you cannot have it all! A few comments on what I thought would help future travelers there: - the nearby church bells ring every 15 or 30min from around 7am till 23.30 or midnight. So you are fine for the night but if you want to nap and are a light sleeper, not great - All the rooms are facing the sea and spectacular views; we were on the same floor as the Reception and you share the terrace with 2 other room which is lovely. The 3 rooms had their own table and chairs, parasol but it was also very passing. You can hear people talking etc It is facing the sea and of course their restaurant and the marina, it is quite noisy on evenings. There was a party somewhere in the marina on our first night and that was quite loud. - A piece of advice to get to the hotel: access from the port is quite tricky as it is either a taxi or the bus. We got on the latter. But because the marina is pedestrian only, bear in mind that you will have quite a few stairs to go down and a bit of walking before getting to the hotel. We had an early ferry booked from the Main harbor and we couldnt face going back up with all our things etc so we booked a taxi boat. It was an early one on a sunday morning so it cost us E50 for 2 for a less than 15min journey. Very expensive indeed but our comfort that early and at the end of our holidays was priceless...If I had to go back there again, I would book a taxi boat transfer to easily get there as opposed to the bus but we didnt know. The hotel use their partner Il Porticciolo who charges usually E20 pp for transfer to the main marina except if it is out of hours. We saw some cheaper prices from other provider on the marina. I would totally recommend the hotel and maybe go back again the future!

Located at the end of the picturesque village of Corricella, the hotel enjoys a splendid view of the colorful houses and the marina. The rooms are large and so cool that the use of air conditioning is often unnecessary. The mattresses are very comfortable and the quality of sleep is excellent (the only noises, however harmonious) are the chimes of the church bell. The bathrooms, all recently redone are comfortable and functional but what is striking is the careful cleaning of the rooms, more careful and rigorous than that of several higher category hotels in which we stayed. The breakfast is excellent and the hotel enjoys agreements with the boat rental "Il portcciolo" which has organized wonderful excursions and - on the way back - transfer to the main port at favorable prices. In addition, the structure hosts an excellent restaurant, "La Lampara", overlooking the sea: it is in high demand but for reservations hotel customers can ask directly at reception. La Corricella is a special place where we spent a wonderful holiday. Thanks to the work and care of a staff that works with enthusiasm and attention to guests and among whose members it seems right to mention the thoughtfulness and kindness of Anita. We will carry with us for a long time the warmth and Welcoming of the Hotel Corricella.

Great place in a beautiful harbour. Big spacious rooms and a big bathroom. The people working there was very nice. Breakfast was very good. The only big minus was their pillows, they were so hard, totally useless. Got a new one which was just a little bit softer, but still hard. They should invest in some better ones.
