Hotel Monte D'Oro Vizzavona

Review by hotel critic

During my recent visit to Monte D'Oro, nestled in the picturesque mountains near Cascade D'Anglais along the GR20 trail, I was captivated by the rustic charm of the hotel. Upon entering, the cozy bar and sitting room welcomed me with a crackling fire and plush seating-perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.The culinary experience was a highlight of my stay. I felt like a true gourmand as I savored the exquisite homemade dishes, prepared with old family recipes and organic ingredients. Breakfast under the enchanting ivy canopy was a delightful start to each day. The on-site bar, offering a wide selection of libations, added to the convivial atmosphere.Dining in the restaurant was a sensory journey. The historical ambience, complemented by faded photographs lining the walls, set the stage for a gastronomic adventure. I indulged in Corsican specialties, each dish a testament to culinary mastery and generous portions.Monte D'Oro's attention to detail and commitment to culinary excellence make it a top choice for discerning travelers seeking a memorable dining experience amidst stunning natural surroundings. My only gripe would be the slightly high prices, but the quality of the food and ambiance justified every penny.In conclusion, Monte D'Oro stands out as a haven for those who appreciate fine cuisine, historical charm, and a deep connection to the local culture. Whether embarking on a mountain hike or simply relishing the tranquility of the Corsican mountains, this hotel offers a truly unforgettable epicurean journey.
