What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Carved into the mountainside above the village of Lama, Case Latine has the layout and atmosphere of a small Corsican hamlet.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Lama's medieval lanes sit just below the outcrop, and Ostriconi Valley trails wind down toward the coast.

The rooms
Suites occupy freestanding stone pavilions, each with a private terrace looking past the valley toward the sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three outdoor pools are carved across the rocky terraces, looking out over the village and valley below.
Outdoor massage
A treatment table sits under a reed pergola against dry stone, where certified regional practitioners offer massages.
Restaurant Suspesu
Tables sit under a timber pergola overlooking the valley, serving Corsican dinners seasoned with herbs from the garden.
How it began
Anne and Jean-François Reydet-Baccelli built on family land, carving roads into the granite mountainside before opening in 2006.
