Bastia, Corsica Picture: The Restaurant l'archipel and the views

Bastia Picture © James Martin, Europe Travel

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel l'Alivi, just outside Bastia in the small village of Ville-di-Pietrabugno. It has a fine restaurant with seaside terrace called l'Archipel, which has a view of the sea and the Italian islands on the horizon. Good food, great service and views. That's our table just before we sat down to eat in the picture. You can easily walk into town from the hotel.

A popular hotel in town is the Best Western Corsica Hotels Bastia Centre

The winds aloft are normally quite intense in the Cap Corse area, and the cloud formations are often spectacular. On the evening that we dined at this table though, there was only a slight and welcome sea breeze to make the experience perfect.

I hope you've enjoyed this virtual tour of Bastia.
