Notes on luxury hotels in Porto-Vecchio

Porto-Vecchio is a rather strange, sprawling town. There are several very different places to sleep.
In our opinion, the center and its citadel are not fascinating compared to all the beautiful bays all around (especially when compared to Bonifacio’s citadel – see luxury hotels in Bonifacio).
We therefore place great emphasis on luxury hotels further from the center of Porto-Vecchio with their own beach or easy access to exceptional beaches.

If you haven’t decided on your destination yet, take a look at our article on the best 5-star hotels in Corsica or our article on the most beautiful hotels in Corsica.

The Hôtel Les Bergeries de Palombaggia in Porto-Vecchio is a true icon of the region. Nestled close to the famous Palombaggia beach, we were enchanted by its idyllic setting, offering absolute tranquility and breathtaking natural beauty.

The accommodation blends harmoniously into the surrounding rocks and scrubland. The hotel’s rooms are elegantly decorated, with attention to the smallest detail, and offer stunning views of the lush gardens or sparkling sea. And what can we say about the renowned swimming pool, which seems to merge with the horizon of the sea?

We were also won over by the hotel’s restaurant, which showcases the fascinating stories of local producers, such as the baker’s flour brought in from the mainland by sailboat. It’s a real taste and cultural experience not to be missed.

3. Hotel Le Mariosa (4 stars)

Hôtel Le Mariosa - swimming pool

Why stay at Le Mariosa hotel

Hotel Mariosa in Porto-Vecchio is the perfect choice for those seeking a unique, luxurious experience, with direct access to the beach and magnificent views.

What particularly delighted us about this establishment was its all-round character, which meets a number of criteria: a beach right out front, an excellent restaurant, modern rooms and a superb swimming pool. Views of the bay from the pool terrace are soothing and inspiring.

However, the only negative point is that we would have liked breakfast to start a little earlier than 8am, as we are early risers. Apart from that, our experience was absolutely wonderful.

THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE

On one of our last trips to Europe, a hacker stole our credit card details while we were using a hotel WiFi.
So our trip began with a “card blocked” call… Not funny at all!

Nothing disturbs the beauty of the surrounding nature, and everything blends in with natural elegance.
