Is Hotel Les Bergeries De Palombaggia worth it? Our review
This is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Porto-Vecchio and one of the best-known in southern Corsica, a true haven of peace located just 5 minutes from Corsica’s most famous beach, Palombaggia.
In perfect harmony with its environment, it offers an idyllic setting to reconnect with nature and recharge your batteries.
Decoration and atmosphere
Inherited from Corsica’s pastoral past, sheepfolds are solid buildings with thick walls. Adapted to the contemporary constraints of a hotel, they remain marked by the use of raw materials (stone and wood).
The decor is discreet, so as not to distort the space, but also to let nature take center stage.

The room
Our room was sober and uncluttered, leaving plenty of room for natural materials to harmonize perfectly with its exceptional setting.
We particularly liked the omnipresent leaf motif from the curtains to the frame above the bed, with a beautiful gradation around the brown.
Most rooms have a terrace with a magnificent view of the maquis, the sea and the small Cerbicale islands facing the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. Spend a late evening in the setting sun, comfortably installed on your terrace, enjoying this view, it was just… perfect!
The room was equipped with a coffee machine and minibar.

The infinity pool is magnificent, blending in perfectly with the natural surroundings. This long swimming corridor will give you the impression that you’re about to throw yourself into the maquis, while glimpsing the sea in the distance. Luxury, calm and pleasure, as Charles would say…
If you want to go to the nearby beach of Pallombaggia, you can either opt for the sporty buggy or the more comfortable golfette! And finally, if you’ve got your sea legs, you can opt for a half-day or full-day excursion on the comfortable bergeries boat.
The restoration
The hotel has 2 restaurants:
- La Terrasse for a light lunch by the pool, featuring many regional products,
- LaTable de Mina, a highly creative gourmet restaurant led by young chef Lucas Perez Gonzales, blends Spanish, Corsican and Italian influences to our delight.
The hotel bar offers a wide choice of cocktails, 3 of which are inspired by Corsica, from Capo’Spritz to the aptly named Soleil de Corse…
