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.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
