Perfect spacious apartment in an excellent location
The property was perfect - really spacious to stay in as a couple. Located in the old town so all lovely restaurants and shops very close by
Apartment was great with nice little balcony to have breakfast on and everything you could need
A beautifuly furnished and clean apartment, very well equipped with everything we needed. Location with a true middle age feeling. It was a very comfortable stay. Recommended for everyone who does not mind steep stairs (as typical for Bonifacio).
This our third stay at Germaineâs unique and authentic apartment in the heart of Bonifacio. If you want to have an experience like a local, this is the place for you. Germaine is very responsive and flexible with any requests. The apartment has lots of old world charm but the convenience of a well equipped modern kitchen, air conditioning and a large living area for comfortably hanging out with friends or family. We will be back again!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this apartment. Its location in the heart of the old city of Bonifacio provides a genuine flavour of traditional Corsican living, but with all the advantages of modern life. It is extremely well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Germaine responded to any query very quickly and was warm and welcoming to us. There is some street noise, but honestly, we felt it added to the holiday atmosphere! (Also, it finished at 11 o' clock. ) I'd happily recommend this apartment and its lovely surroundings.
Well equipped and authentic tucked away in a bizzy town. The best way to get the most out of those beautifull, but Oh so crowded places, is to be in an apartment right in the middle of it. This is one. Early in the morning when there are no tourists, you enjoy a quiet Bonifacio and drink a coffee at the bar which is 30 metres from your doorstep. Need a swim? Just walk out of the citadel gates and down the stairs. Below the cliffs you find a small stroke of pebble beach. In the harbour some splendid yachts are on view.
The apartment is an oasis where you can escape the hot weather (airco in all rooms). It is well equiped and decorated with a personal touch. There is small Super market nearby, so you can make yourself a decent meal. Restaurants are literally a stone throw away. Warmly recommended. Parking is best done at P3. The host provides you a free pass.
We loved our 6 night stay in this very well appointed and located Apartment- right in the midst of the old town sector of beautiful Bonifacio. The Apartment was very clean and equipped with everything you could ever need on holiday including if you choose catering in on occasions- although the extent and array of cute bars and restaurants all around you makes eating out very desirable. Communications with the owner Germaine were excellent, she was always super helpful with advice ( good restaurants and best beaches etc ) and arrival instructions were clear as it is always a bit daunting to arrive in a little hill top town by car so this de-stressed the arrival procedure. We were met by Stephanie the owners local contact person ( who works just below the Apartment so was nice to know that local advice was handy if needed ) who settled us in - with the help of Goggle Translate as we have no French but all went fine albeit a few laughs as we sorted the finer points with the assistance of Translate ! We are a 65 year old couple in reasonable shape for age and it was a bit of a puff for 30 seconds while we got our suitcases up the very steep internal stairs from the street to the apartment door. We always took extra care going up and down the stairs as they are steep and fairly unforgiving if you missed your footing. If you were older and/or had mobility issues I would suggest you might struggle. Once installed you will find the interior of the Apartment to be very tasteful.
We had a great time staying at the apartment for 3 nights. The owner is very responsive and provided a lot of information about the accommodation before we booked. The apartment is very clean and spacious and with wonderful restaurants just a few steps out. Be mindful of the stairs for people with limited mobility as there are a few steps between the living room and kitchen and main bedroom. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to friends and family visiting the city.
This apartment is in the very heart of the ancient city of Bonifacio. The balcony is actually in one the photos on the ad, showing the flying buttresses which attach the apartment building to the church. Bonifacio is a gem of a place, with the upper town being surrounded by thick walls., and narrow alleyways full of restaurants and shops. Tourists flock to the city, most of them by car, which is something that needs to be considered when making plans to arrive. During the middle of the day parking is at a premium. to say the least. The unit owner provides a parking pass, but you need to meet her, or her rep, in order to get the pass. My advice, avoid trying to drive into the upper ville until around 6 pm, at which time it is easier to get a spot in one of the lots reserved for the locals (for which you will have a pass). From our experience you want to avoid driving into Bonifacio between 10 am and noon, traffic was backed up forever.
After dinner the tourists clear out and most of the other visitors return to their mega yachts in the harbor below, leaving you virtually alone in the town.
The unit itself is large and clean, with a full kitchen, modern bath with shower and washing machine, and comfortable living room. The steps up from the street to unit, on the second floor, are somewhat steep, but we managed. Pack light. The AC units worked well during our stay.
We were very happy with this choice and I have a hard time imagining a better location in Bonifacio.
The location is great but there are some serious issues. The property has a great little kitchen but the small bedroom is very dusty and my daughter could not sleep in it. The AC did not work the whole time we were there even though the owner told us that it would be fixed in a day or two. The caretaker can only speak french so for us we had communication issues. Also, the parking was a real issue and not very well explained.
Der check in gestaltete sich schwierig, da wir die Telefonnummer der verantwortlichen Dame in Bonifacio nicht erhalten hatten. Als wir schlieĂlich in die Wohnung kamen war der Ărger schnell vergessen. Die Wohnung ist von der Lage, Ausstattung, Sauberkeit wirklich erstklassig. Wir hatten wunderbare Tage in Bonifacio.
This property is significantly more fabulous than the photos demonstrate! Lovely lay out, well-equipped kitchen, fantastic location, comfortable living and bedroom. The second bedroom is small but my kids slept on the foldout couch quite happily. Right out your door are restaurants, boulangeries, grocery stores and gelato. Wonderful!
