Accendi Pipa Hotel Campitello

Review by hotel critic

Review of Hotel Accendi Pipa - A Balanced PerspectiveLocated off the main road between Bastia and Ponte Leccia, Hotel Accendi Pipa offers a curious blend of seclusion and surprisingly high demand. Upon arrival, check-in was smooth, with our bikes safely stored and luggage in place. The room, situated on the top floor, was compact, embodying the quaint charm of Corsican accommodations. The hotel boasts a well-maintained seasonal outdoor pool, which provided a calm respite after our rigorous 10½-mile ride earlier that day. Dining options, while limited, featured quality food at reasonable prices, a rarity in tourist-heavy locales. The outdoor bar area was inviting, enhancing the overall experience. Though our room had minimal amenities, with a rather snug bathroom and no air conditioning, it was notably quiet thanks to effective double glazing. Wifi access, however, was patchy in the rooms. Breakfast was typical of the region, offering mostly bread and pastries, though freshness was lacking. Hotel Accendi Pipa delivers an unpretentious stay—combining essential comforts with affordability. It may not be an opulent choice, but its value proposition is commendable for cycle tourers like us seeking a sensible retreat.
