Lodge de Charme A Cheda

Small rooms w/quirky decor if you are into sticks & wire. Nice gardens. Tiny pool. Food is ludicrously priced and jaw droppingly expensive e.g. Fish & Chips Euro32 ! Basic pasta dish Euro24 !! Breakfast is typical continental fayre - nothing special. Reception Staff are great and very helpful. EV charging points for Tesla but no 8-pin charging points, only 2-pin. Hotel tom cat - fluffy & likes to get acquainted. Hotel dog miserable. Hotel well located to explore South of island and makes a comfortable base, but watch your wallet !

Beautiful hotel with lots of activities in walking distance to do. Great to stroll around the city to discover lots of restaurants, local shops and activities for the whole family. Some amazing road trips within a couple hours. Overall a great experience.

The hotel is located some 2 km outside the gorgeous town of Bonifacio. It comprises a collection of rustic lodges scattered around the main building housing the reception and restaurant. The hotel offers a free daily shuttle going to the Bonifacio marina but only two trips in the mornings with the latest return at 6pm. After that you are at the mercy of local taxis charging an exorbitant €30 each way. There is a car park at the bottom of the complex, all spaces with covers against the blazing sun. There is a small pool to the right of the entrance with a whirlpool tub on the side and a comfortable seated area. All cottages have different character, other than rather uniform-looking Speranza suites sitting separately to the main complex, with little gardens or enclosures. Our Superior Charme chalet was spacious and airy, with a separate lounge and bedroom. There was plenty of wardrobe and storage space around. The bed was huge and very comfortable. There were steps and sharp edges everywhere inside the rooms so we had to be careful when moving around. Bathrobes and slippers were provided. There was a safety box too. Tea and coffee-making facilities were available. WiFi signal was acceptable. TV had no English-speaking channels. The bathroom was in three parts, with separate toilet and bath tub with jacuzzi on the other side. Water took a while to heat up despite outside temperatures in excess of 30 centigrade. We dined at A Cheda: it was an interesting though rather pricey experience. They pride themselves on serving home-grown vegetables. The selection of Corsican wines was quite ample. Breakfast, at €28.50 per person, was held at the restaurant as well. It wasn’t extensive although the herbal omelettes were rather tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I stayed at A Cheda for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my time. The hotel is located 5 minutes by car from Bonifacio and makes for an ideal location to explore the southern portion of Corsica. Parking was easy, free and ample. All rooms are surrounded by gardens which in addition to being beautiful, supply the hotel's restaurant with fresh produce. Every meal we ate at the restaurant was wonderful. I especially enjoyed the mystery menu comprised of dishes selected by the chef, all highlighting local ingredients. The staff was friendly as well, helping with small, random requests I had without hesitation. If I had to nitpick, I would say the wifi could be improved (although I personally welcomed the opportunity to disconnect) and that the Japanese style shower in my room (no walls) would probably be more practical if it simply had walls or a barrier to prevent the bathroom floor from getting wet. It didn't bother me much, just a curious choice. Those small things aside, A Cheda is a gorgeous place that offers great value. I hope to return someday!

We booked A Cheda after researching the island/area and were so looking forward to staying here for a long weekend for my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, my wife tested positive for covid the day before travel, so we did the right thing, stayed home, and proceeded to cancel flights, car rental, and dinner booking (all fine)... until we contacted the hotel to notify them and request if we could move our reservation or cancel it. The reply was an email detailing that the reservation was non-refundable and that it was too late for the hotel to make any other arrangements... they even blamed it on the booking system we used, Booking.com's – which was actually trying to contact the hotel for them to waive THEIR non-refundable choice, given we wanted to re-book for another time. It didn't matter. The hotel kept sending the same note saying they "invite us to get a refund from our insurance or credit card companies." We even proposed they keep half the reservation amount, but to no avail. Truly shocking service and experience for such a reputable establishment.

Really inflexible. I had to cancel a reservation here due to Covid. I offered to pay 50% of my booking and to rebook at full price in a few weeks, but they were completely inflexible and insisted on taking the full amount for the booking I couldn’t attend. For this reason I wouldn’t recommend

Beautiful property with helpful staff within a short drive to Bonifaccio and the marina. Would love to return someday!

This is a great little property with a private feel to your stay as their rooms are individually curated and separate from reception / other rooms. Location is pretty good although you'll need a car to get anywhere. They were super helpful and accommodating. They helped us get around on the days we didn't have a rental car. The biggest challenge for us was the lack of Wifi ( We work while travelling) and there's also barely any cell phone service as well. The restaurant is michelin rated, had live music, but the food and service was 3/10. They were very apologetic about the evening because they knew they dropped the ball, so it is what it is. I would recommend this place because overall it was a good stay, but if I go back, I will stay somewhere else.

Perfect
