"To start... thanks so much Paula... without you we would have never be back a second day. It's difficult to find a smile when part of the LGBT community and you were just welcoming. We like your presence which helped to overpass some aspects.... Otherwise the club is so cool, walking distance from the centre. Traditional food and really nice wines selected Only small but so common downfall in Corsica is to have to pay by cash...I am not a fan of carrying 200+ EUR on me all day... first it's not safe, second it'll limit our spending... shame for the business will not buy a bottle of champagne;-) But that's the Corsican way..on the marinella"

"A magic place, the atmosphere just off the water is something else. The mood is relaxed, everything just seems in the right place. The food was magnificent, the pizza was wood smoked, the burrata salad was fresh and vibrant, the kids enjoyed their nuggets and fries meal which came with a popsicle and a granazza (frozen flavoured drink.) Finished off the meal with a latté and a cappucino. Both were exquisite. My wife had a small decanter of red wine which she enjoyed. It was refreshing to let the kids run out to the water and play while we drank our coffee. The music was great, the vibe was smooth and relaxed. Will definitely return before we leave Corsica."

"We only ordered drinks. They were good. Nice place with a good amount of seating but the beach. But only takes cash. A bit expensive but this is Corsica so."
