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.
