We had a magical stay here. Corsica is a rugged island with lots of busy tourist places to boot, but this hotel felt like were tucked away in a warm, beautiful, relaxing, friendly, nature-filled, gorgeous little village of our own. The staff is friendly and warm, always more than willing to help us plan the day's adventures. The clientele the same (lots of Europeans, some with kids, but everyone was relaxed, warm and cool - no loud phone calls or debauchery (we come from the States...). We had a deluxe sea view room, and the room was spacious, modern and clean. Natural colors to match the landscape, a perfect place to decompress. We appreciated that it was serviced twice a day. The turn down service was especially nice, as we would come home from dinner to find little chocolates and a Corsican tale tucked into the bed. The breakfast was scrumptious, lots of healthy options (fresh fruits, juices, yogurts, muesli) and more hearty, along with a table of delicious Corsican desserts. Breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the sea, and it was a lovely start to the day. The access to the Palomboggia beach was really convenient. You could either walk a path from the hotel, or take advantage of the buggy service, which we did a lot. You basically call to be picked up from the beach, or ask the concierge for the buggy to take you down. They were super nice with providing us with fresh towels and a sun parasol too, which was crucial as the beach loungers with umbrellas on the beach were all reserved (availability day-of for a chair was nil). You're a 15 min drive from Porto Vecchio if you wanted to have more of a town. The only thing I would change is the pricing for the the hotel snack and lunch options. I understand this is a nice resort and inflation is expected, but 8 euros for a Coke? No thank you. That being said, the food options at the hotel were delicious, and the service incredible - everyone was super friendly, warm and easy to chat with even though we spoke limited French. My only regret is that we only spent a day lounging poolside in the shade under the trellises. This was the most relaxing time for us, when were weren't running around trying to see Corsica, and I think we needed a second day of just lounging at the hotel and taking advantage of the beautiful property. That being said, this property has some of the best landscaping I have ever seen. This may not sound like much, but it really made a difference in feeling utterly relaxed. Whether you sit outside your room, or on the pool terrace for breakfast, seeing the trees, flowers, rosemary bushes, cacti, and different herbs sway was entrancing and so deeply relaxing. I felt like we were in some magical Corsican mountain town with the best natural beauty. It also made the air so clean and fragrant that I could literally taste the herbs and sea from the air. It was magical. All in all, if you are looking for a more authentic, Corsican, boutique-y and non-touristy feeling, war
