Dominique Colonna in Corte.
Built in 1820, this stone manor in the heart of Corsica's Restonica Valley served as a private residence before its transformation into a boutique hotel.
The property retains its original architectural character while offering modern hospitality, with meticulous restoration honoring the building's 200-year heritage.
Set at 400 meters elevation above the valley floor, it commands views across terraced landscapes shaped by centuries of Mediterranean cultivation.
This is a wonderful place to stay. The hotel is super stylish and immaculately clean and the setting is stunning. Right on the river in the beautiful Restonica valley - you feel cocooned in nature while being spoilt by the fabulous staff. We stayed for three nights as part of our honeymoon in Corsica. We splashed out on the Alba suite which was an amazing room with a private terrace where we sat stargazing each night because the skies were so clear and dark. Soaking in the river, wandering around Corte, eating dinner at the wonderful Auberge restaurant next door. Just perfect.
