The most beautiful hotels in SouthCorsica

Guests come here to forget the hustle and bustle of the tourist trade and recharge their batteries on the water's edge.

The hotel has 41 rooms, each different from the next in a luxury fisherman's hut, all in wood, Bonifacio stone, copper, brass and ochre earth. The shimmering colors of the decor reflect the authenticity of the place. The rooms are extended by balconies, vast shaded terraces or even gardens sheltered from view by canisses. A preserved place with a singular ambience that resembles a vacation home, shaped over the past 30 years by the Limangi family, who have passed on their Corsican DNA.

Five room categories are on offer: standard maquis, small but with balconies, superior maquis with outdoor shower and tranquil garden. Then there are the suites, including the Saveria with its private indoor heated pool and the Letizia with its panoramic 30 m2 roof terrace with Jacuzzi and breathtaking sea views.

Last but not least, those coming with friends or family can occupy one of the five villas, all with private pool and concierge service. A baker's basket with homemade products awaits guests every morning on their doorstep, while restaurant menus are delivered on request in a catered version.

The hardest part is choosing between the three beaches, just a few meters from the hotel. The beach is equipped with mattresses and parasols. There's no need to go far for a bite to eat, as the restaurant is located just above it. A second, very quiet beach, with its canopied beds, is ideal for lounging.

The third beach, known as Queen Elizabeth, is located on a wild cove with no facilities for those who prefer absolute tranquillity, facing the sea.

Prefer the heated infinity pool? This one's unique, with its lagoon-like curves, heated and embellished with Bonifacio stones in a shade of blue. A few yards away, you'll find the siestodrome, with its hammocks shaded by canisses.

The intimate spa, which takes up summer quarters on the beach, uses only 100% Corsican natural creams and oils from Crena Care Cosmetics. You can even take a bath in donkey's milk, like Cleopatra...

For lunch, we meet at La Paillote, a casual beach restaurant made of driftwood, overlooking the sea. The plates here are irresistible, with anthology lobster pasta and grilled fish brought in daily by a fisherman. We end with a memorable nucciola tiramisu. Twice a week, we take advantage of the brazier to enjoy a tasty barbecue. On Mondays, it's Corsican songs that captivate customers, who make the evening last by sipping signature cocktails.

In the evening, you can sit out on the terrace in the second panoramic restaurant of renowned Senegalese chef Gadio El Hadji, who marries Corsican flavours and African spices to perfection. The daily-renewed menu, comprising 3 starters, 3 main courses and 3 desserts, gives pride of place to local producers.

And for a change, you can dine in the cellar: 700 wine references are available, some of them biodynamic. To be accompanied, of course, by cured meats and Corsican cheeses.

Here, respect for nature is total. The hotel has banned all single-use plastic objects and straws. Shampoos and shower gels are dispensed in elegant dispensers. One hundred laying hens and a permaculture vegetable garden are used in the restaurants, while some waste is composted.
