Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Amazing views, beach within walking distance, very helpful staff. The residence was in a good position for exploring interesting sights in the surrounding area. Our apartment was in a very quiet part, the whole residence was calm and relaxed. We would definitely go again.
Difficult to find the actual entrance. Ambiguous, inadequate signage. Reception closed therefore had to wait 2 hours before being able to get the car and luggage in. No information that reception had opening hours when booking so wasted time. Inventory had to be carried out on arrival and then had to walk back up a steep hill with the form. Missing items were never replaced anyway so what was the point? Breakfast al fresco ruined every morning by a plague of wasps and then gauloise smoking maintenance men who parked their vehicle across our view without even a 'Bonjour' . A room inspection was required and had to be booked. All very military but we were on honeymoon. We are 57 and 55 years old, English, yes but definately not hooligans!!! On leaving early for the airport reception was once again closed. Though there were staff inside and I gesticulated through the glass door that I was leaving and wanted to hand the key back they resolutely refused to open the door indicating they would open at 9. Fine but I needed to get to the airport!! Left key outside. Also barrier would not be opened to get car in to pick up luggage which meant I had to lug 4 heavy cases up a very steep hill in the heat. All very unhelpful. Not so good for my wife who was recovering from a recent stroke!! Asked for a kettle told they would look. Finally unable to assist. When I left I saw at least 10 in the baggage room.

Good accommodation in quiet village
The accommodation is in a quiet village with a couple of restaurants and not much else. The onsite facilities are good, including a small shop and restaurant, pool, mini golf, children's play area and boules area. The staff are very friendly and speak English well.
The walk to the beach is steep, but worth it (you can drive). The small town of Porto Pollo is nearby with more restaurants, shops and small (but expensive) Spar supermarket.
Accommodation is basic, but has everything you need. More than 2 people and it would feel crowded in one of the rooms. Fantastic views, especially if you have a sea view and watching the sunset.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, in fact extending it from 5 nights to 7. The service at reception was excellent; they were able to accommodate us for the extra 2 nights in the same villa, and helped to change our ferry bookings. One morning we found that the battery on our car was dead, and they searched until some leads were found to sort the problem. I found the walk to the beach and back difficult, but it was not far in the car, and the overall neighbourhood is stunning.
We had a fantastic time and enjoyed the tranquillity. Wi -fi reception was poor but this was a plus for us The staff were very helpful despite our limited French. Basics were available in the small shop while the snack bar/ restaurant with take away service was good. The pool and area were clean and pleasant and we overlooked the bay.The small play area and mini-golf could amuse children The fantastic beach was about 30 mins away down a winding track but it was well worth the effort. We hired a car at the airport and this is a must for this location. We toured the South west area and were delighted with all parts returning at various times to always know we could get a good meal locally. The azure sea, the heathland,and the beaches were superb.
We stayed here for a week in late Sept/ Early Oct in a T2 villa. Basic but perfectly functional. The pool was lovely and warm and the views spectacular. Be prepared for the walk to the beach it's further than it looks but well worth it. Next time I would definitely pay extra for the sea view but overall great value for money.

Bonne situation pour visiter la Corse du Sud.
Sejour d'une semaine debut oct. La situation geographique pour visiter corse du sud etait parfaite. Pour les jours où nous ne roulions pas ,nous avons apprécié Porto Pollo avec sa jolie plage, à 3kms environ, tres agreable car protégée du vent qui etait tres frais ! Debit oct, la residence était donc très calme. Piscine non chauffée, et vraiment trop froide pour en profiter. Apt agréable, propre & spacieux pour 2 personnes, mais meublé " très vieillot ", avec des luminaires style garage . Hotesse d'accueil compétente, autochtone, qui de ce fait prodigue les bons conseils !

Serra di ferro est un petit village typique,très agréable. A proximité de deux très belles plages.
L’appartement a une belle vue,en revanche les équipements/installations sont très moyennes…
La location était très fonctionnelle, la piscine chauffée.
Le personnel de l'accueil très

Résidence sympathique mais...
Concept sympa mais équipements vieillots. A rafraîchir.
Emplacement et extérieurs magnifiques, personnel accueillant, piscine au top, calme car sans voiture garées uniquement en extérieur et une vue sublime. En revanche l appartement que nous occupions demande une rénovation. Nous y reviendrons néanmoins avec plaisir
Séjour vacances de Toussaint. Résidence calme. Je n'ai utilisé aucun service car tjs en vadrouille

Escroquerie manifeste.Photos prise pour Hôtels.com
Etablissement situé à 20 kms de Propriano et non à 2 kms (comme indiqué sur la publicité). Accueil assez sympathique et impression qu'il règne une discipline de fer pour la quiétude des résidents. Ensuite on déchante très vite. Nous avions réservé un appartement avec vue jardin (à proscrire absolument). C'est en fait une vue sur talus et la chambre de l'appartement est obscure, pas de fenêtre...Nous demandons à changer et obtenons moyennant 30 euros supplémentaires par nuit une soi-disant villa avec vue mer. Un peu mieux mais aucune porte de placard ne ferme (il en manque même une dans la cuisine), l'intérieur n'a pas été balayé et pas de serviettes . Terrasse pleine de mauvaises herbes. La connexion WI-FI est quasi nulle (une box pour 150 logements). Le deuxième soir, le ballon d'eau chaude lâche et inondation dans le logement... Appel téléphonique et pout toute réponse " ça va bien s'arrêter de couler on verra demain". Pas de proposition de relogement, aucune visite. Réparation faite "à l'arrache", franchement dégoutante. Le lendemain (dernière soirée) la TV ne marche plus. Aucune proposition de dédommagement. En résumé : établissement très mal entretenu (espaces verts et logements), on se demande d'où viennent les trois étoiles... Dommage car le site est magnifique et mériterait mieux. La piscine est à peu près correcte car chauffée. Mais seulement 14 transats plus ou moins défoncés pour 150 logements. Nous déconseillons fortement. Le mot scandaleux n'est pas exagéré.

Le site avec vue sur la Baie de Cupabia est superbe et nous fait découvrir cette plage sublime sans la foule des stations balnéaires du sud de la Corse.
Lea appartements et les installations sont correctes.

Desservis de tout
Résidence jolie , calme et propre mais le village Serra-di-Ferro est desservis de transport en communs de commerces, supérette pour faire ses courses pour manger à l’appartement, HOTELS.COM précise les minutes et KM pour les plages mais pas l’état des sentiers pour y accéder car il faut escalader et c très dangereux en descente ! Faites attention si vous s’y aller avec enfants ainsi que pour faire des courses si vous êtes à pieds pas de transports en communs ou navette , pas de location de scooter pour se rendre au Spar le seul supermarché à 7km à pieds pour descendre ça va mais pour remonter avec vos courses pour 10 jours c’est la catastrophe, taxi hors de prix , Uber pas dans le coin , Serra-di-Ferro est un village mort et ne soyez pas malade y a pas de pharmacie pas de bar tabac pour les fumeurs , tout ceci est à savoir si vous n’avez pas de voiture
Les : Résidence très bien située, nous avons profité d'une excellente vue de notre appartement en rez de chaussée donc bien pratique. Proximité du village et snack/épicerie sur le site. Plage de Porto Pollo à 10 min en voiture
Les - : Murs et sols pas propres du tout mais pour le reste ça allait.
Attention, absolument aucun produit ni liquide sur place, il faut TOUT acheter (Liquide vaisselle, sacs poubelle, produits entretien car cuisine à nettoyer avant le départ, Papier toilette, etc etc)
Le parking, à l'extérieur du site donc non surveillé, est très poussiéreux
