What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A short walk from the beaches of Saint-Florent, Basgi Basgi is a family-run boutique hotel shaped by warmth and informality.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Saint-Florent harbour and the local beaches are a short walk away, with Patrimonio vineyards just down the road.
The rooms
Most bedrooms open onto terraces or balconies shaded by maritime pines. Studios are available for longer stays.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiered timber decks step down to the outdoor swimming pool, which is heated off-season to 25C.
The Bar
Guests gather around a yellow-tiled counter inside, or order local wines from the timber counter beside the pool.
At the table
The restaurant serves seasonal island cooking across a long communal indoor table and an outdoor terrace draped in vines.
How it began
It stands on the site of a former wine cellar, named after the Corsican greeting for cheek-to-cheek kisses.
