Stay Lifehacks

For the best and most memorable experience, a Valley View room is highly recommended. While the village-side rooms are quiet and pleasant, it is the Gulf of Porto-facing rooms that provide a wake-up view to rival the best in the world. Waking up to see mist rolling off mountains, with hints of sea shimmering in morning light far away, forms an unforgettable part of U Pozzu’s experience. Most times these rooms have small balconies from where one can sit out and enjoy what must be total mountain silence.

You should definitely plan to have a meal here. The place is packed with locals as well as guests, and that’s always a good sign. Opt for the half-board option (includes dinner and breakfast). Dinners are massive-locally inspired meals coursing their way to the table, specialties such as soupe corse (a hearty vegetable soup)and meats cooked slowly over low heat. It’s an easy-and great-tasting way to cap off a day spent hiking, without having to stumble around looking for a restaurant after dark.

And finally, pack layers. Even if it is burning hot on the coast, Evisa sits at 850 meters, so evenings get nicely chilled. A light sweater will do fine for sitting out on the terrace to watch the stars— which by the way are extremely bright thanks to very little light pollution—also don’t forget your hiking boots and swimwear; with a unique combo of mountain trails and river swimming holes found in Aïtone Forest that requires versatile gear ,the hotel staff (who happen be quite friendly)will direct you best secret spots.
