Discovering Corsica is one thing. Breathing it in, truly feeling it, is something else entirely. At Hôtel U Capu Biancu, we go beyond simply suggesting or booking activities: we begin by listening — sometimes even guessing or anticipating. We advise, and then we organize. Because we know. We know Corsica and all its treasures. And Jean-Joseph, our concierge, well… he knows the island (almost) by heart.

Some adventures are best experienced facing the sea. In Bonifacio, southern Corsica, these adventures have a special setting: the bar at the U Capu Biancu hotel! Whether you’re after a cocktail, a non-alcoholic refreshment, or simply a drink by the pool, our bar welcomes everyone. And more than anything, it’s a must for those who want to sip the true flavors of Corsica.

There are love stories that are born from encounters. The one we're about to tell you reveals a true love at first sight. It's between a passionate fan of Corsican cuisine and producers committed to the land of Corsica.

A hut is made of wood and straw — but also of sunshine and good vibes. At U Capu Biancu in southern Corsica, the hut is a place of crunchy delights and flavors to savor. From June 14th through September, it welcomes you for lunch, dinner, or simply to relax. Fresh salads, grilled fish, and other gourmet treats perfectly match the laid-back spirit of this unique seaside spot.

We've already told you about the genesis of our permaculture farm. The whys and wherefores. We've written about David, a committed market gardener, and his passion for all things living. Since then, Capu Verde has grown, always thanks to David's meticulous care. It has grown with the same goal: to lead U Capu Biancu towards food self-sufficiency.

We could, to begin this post, drone on about words like "well-being," "relaxation," "serenity," and "inner peace." In any case, it's with a single word in mind, a precise and essential word, that we invite you to read this post: ME!

Once again this year, the Domaine U Capu Biancu has waited for spring to reopen its doors. Spring... The season of renewal and rebirth. The season of colours, scents and flavours. The season of flowers...

Imagine a bush that has been sleeping all winter. Little by little, it stirs, spreads its branches and adorns itself with buds. It seems to be waiting for just one thing, just one thing, to finally let its most beautiful flowers bloom. This shrub is U Capu Biancu. The hotel, the spa, the restaurants, the Maquis villas and the Bonifacian Gallery will all be flowers opening their petals. Yes, from today, the U Capu Biancu estate will once again be welcoming travellers from all over the world.

"Throw a handful of stones, at least one will reach its goal" says the Indian proverb. At Hotel U Capu Biancu, our stones are the decisions we "throw" in the hope that all will reach their goal. One was essential: to definitively eradicate single use from our establishments by 2025.

Come to think of it, this decision came down to one question: do you really need it? Yes, do you really need all those single-use objects found in hotels? The answer has been translated into concrete action.

At Hotel U Capu Biancu, we're not revolutionists. Nor rebels. Not even lesson givers. Quite the contrary, in fact. But we do demand. We demand the best for you, for us, for the land that supports us. What's more, we take action. And have been for a long time. Yes, we've been encouraging local consumption for years. To consume according to the seasons. To consume responsibly.

The end is only the beginning. The beginning of a new cycle, a new life. So when U Capu Biancu closes its doors at the end of one season, it's to better prepare for the next.

First and foremost, before we tell you about the rest of our "capuesque" adventures, let us tell you how much we've enjoyed the time we've spent with you.

How dear they are to us. Because yes, they make us happy. YOU make us happy. Because yes, they are - YOU are - proof that we are still on the right track.

Once upon a time there was a living island. An island teeming with life. All kinds of animals roam here: the beautiful, the ugly, the sociable and the solitary. Some who walk, others who crawl, some who fly and those who swim.

"Let's walk through the woods while the wolf is away".Rest assured (for those who need it), here, you are not likely to come across a wolf, for there are none.

Our kids had a dream. The dream of a child. That of a house whose praises we once sang from our little boat, during family outings at sea. We, Jean-Louis and Sylvie Limongi, showed them this house and said: "This is the most beautiful house of Bonifacio!"Dazzled by the water's reflection and the Mediterranean sun, they saw a castle. One of those only a childlike imagination could build.

And so our children grew up with this crazy dream that, one day, this "castle" would be theirs. Yes! These gardens, this breath-taking view and this historic building would be theirs. And so, when they learned that it was up for sale, their determination never ceased: their dream had to come true. So we rolled up our sleeves and dug deep to fulfil this childhood dream. Because as Jacques Brel once sang, "a child picks up a dream, brings it to his lips and leaves singing." And we wanted to hear our children sing …

Breathe in. Take the time. Time for yourself. Time to free your body and mind from all tension. Breathe in. Breathe out. Listen to yourself and find yourself at last. This is what we want for you: the chance to enjoy a peaceful moment. And so we have organised three retreats. Three breaks in which to forget the world, against the backdrop of U Capu Biancu and its soothing environment.

Life in the South? EX-HAUS-TING! And it's not for everyone … You'll need to love the sun, siestas and – most importantly – myrtle liqueur. Then, you have to adapt to the rhythm. "Pianamente è bè," as we say here. Put simply, "slowly, but surely". A bit cliché? Maybe …

Our "obsessive slowness", let's face it, is indeed clichéd. In the south, even the donkeys have learned to exceed 5 km/h. It's all about motivation … As for the rest, let us explain.

Think we're relaxing when we close the doors at the U Capu Biancu? How shall we put it … Not really! Not at all! Quite the opposite – our cogs are turning faster than ever. As for our arms, legs and hands, there's no more rest for them either. And for good reason – it's time for our major winter work!

We could give you an exhaustive list of all the work we have planned for this winter, but we're sure it would only bore you. You might even set off running at the size of the tome alone! And, who knows, perhaps – taking pity on us – you'd even consider not coming (back) next season … And so, instead, we're going to tell you a beautiful story.

"Simplicity, a straightforward path that goes straight to the point", wrote the thinker. At Hotel U Capu Biancu, we are followers of simplicity. And of paths that lead straight to the point. But of course, to take one of these paths, we still need to define the goal itself. For example …

"The journey is more important than the destination", as they say. We couldn't agree more, and that this journey is long makes it all the more worthwhile. But the one we set off on several years ago has a much more important purpose: preserving the environment.

And so we advance on the arduous path of preserving our land, our water and our air. Slowly, but surely.

"True novelty is always born of returning to one's roots" – Edgar Morin. Would the great thinker have stayed in one of the villas of the hotel U Capu Biancu? Because, without a doubt, this is our vision of novelty: a return to simpler times!

Let us start with the source itself. The same source that our ancestors once drank from …

The word "picnic" reminds us of our childhood. Of childhood Sundays. When we watched with envy as the "grown-ups" filled their plastic boxes with hearty salads, sandwiches of all kinds and other treats. We travelled along country roads, by the sea or at the foot of the mountains, impatient, hungry, looking for the ideal spot. Where we’d spread the blanket on the ground, lay out the familiar boxes just out of the cooler and, finally, tuck into our long-awaited picnic. Those Sundays had an unforgettable taste, joyful and carefree.

Talking about yourself isn’t always easy. Romain wouldn’t disagree on this point. When we asked him to open up to us because we wanted to introduce him to you through this blog, he was a man of few words. Not due to lack of cooperation, but rather modesty. And that's what we also love about Romain. His modesty, his candour, his discretion. "Also" because we love lots of other things about this young man. His beautiful eyes, of course, but above all, his seriousness, professionalism and kindness. His patience and calm.

Let's not beat about the bush, the essential moment of any holiday, one definitely not to be missed, is ... drinks o’clock!

What is drinks o’clock? It's simple. Simple and delicious as an unforgettable moment, an exceptional moment. Would you like to know a little more about how to enjoy it yourself? Here are a few instructions.

First, take a comfortable seat on one of the bar's terraces. Now gaze into the intense azure of the Mediterranean. For a few seconds (or minutes - you choose), think of nothing other than the surrounding nature and having the chance to enjoy this experience.

When we talk about "locavorism", we’re talking about commitment. Commitment to a land, to producers and, of course, to ... your taste buds. And we honour our convictions in full (and our love of great food as well). Go on, open the mini-bar, treat yourself and you’ll see what we mean...

So, would you say you’re quite sporty, prefer to laze around, or maybe ... discover things? More comfort than nature? Maybe a little bit of everything at the same time? Or maybe it depends on how you’re feeling on the day. Whatever the case, we ask the question to better advise you about our beaches. That’s right, beaches... Because here, at the foot of the U Capu Biancu hotel, there are three different beaches. Three beaches whose pace, atmosphere and scenery are different.

A rock birthday against a full moon backdrop? It's at the U Capu Biancu hotel on 13 July. With the band Little Rock, and you, of course...

A little rock never hurt anyone. Quite the contrary! Especially to celebrate a birthday... What’s more, it’s something we know quite a lot about here at the U Capu Biancu hotel: every year, for quite some time now, the band Little Rock has been brightening up some of our evenings. Rock, variety, pop, talent and music. People dance, people sing, people "party" - in short, we celebrate and live life to the full.
