Just outside this picturesque Corsican town stands Andre and Sylvaine Abraini's modern and quite smart Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels ), with a lovely view of the town and mountain scenery. We enjoyed our stay, says its nominator. The large rooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) have nice rustic style furnishings, and a balcony with a view. Fantastic views too from the swimming pool and its bar. On 14th July we watched fireworks from the terrace with the owner and his cat. No restaurant: plenty in Sartene, reached by a rather busy road (some traffic noise, but quiet at night). Ancient towers, old oaks and olive trees are all around.

A lovely place. Owned by Jean-Rene and Mary Lyn Camus, this Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )in an 18th-century building stands beside the broad Loire, Louis X's great hilltop castle. Wonderfully located, it has newly and tastefully restored. Recent admiration: The staff all welcoming, and very helpful: two waiters and two chefs carried me in my heavy wheelchair up steep steps to the restaurant, Les Menestrels, in the courtyard. Our delightful second-floor room, reached by a lift and with a king-size bed (and a large bathroom) overlooked the river. The cuisine of Christophe Hosselet is thought excellent (Gault Millau 13 points: try the sandre a l'andouille; queue de lotte au cidre). Breakfast is a varied buffet. There's a fine stairway; some bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) are in Empire style.
