Nice place, nice owner and good location for visiting Corte and trekking nearby. The place even has an electric car charger. I’d recommend staying here!

Super friendly owner that happily shares his recommendations in the area and makes sure you have an enjoyable stay. Rooms are the perfect mix between modern and traditional elements, although the bathroom could have been a bit bigger. Located in a calm area a bit outside of Corte: perfect place to relax even with the train next door (there are not a lot of trains in Corsica).

Rooms are clean, well designed. Bathroom is a little bit cramped (can't open shower door all the way because of the cabinet, for example) but all in all OK. Very relaxing place, despite the occasional train passing right next to it.

Friendly and welcoming host. Super clean and well equipped room. Quiet place with a beautiful exterior. Little touches that make the difference. Decent breakfast.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
