What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
an 18th-century farmhouse that’s found new life as a luxurious small hotel, whose rooms, suites, and villas combine rough-hewn rustic charm with classic elegance…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Olive-clad hills surround the secluded property in Oletta, just a short drive from the harborside bistros of Saint-Florent.
The rooms
Rough-hewn stone walls meet terracotta floors across vaulted bedrooms, while two standalone villas feature private swimming pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cushioned sun loungers and curtained four-poster cabanas border the 15-meter heated swimming pool against a mountain backdrop.
Hammam and hot tub
An ochre-tiled vaulted hammam offers indoor heat, and an outdoor Jacuzzi sits on the stone terrace.
The spa
Massages and body treatments feature organic Corsican immortelle and essential oils inside a stone-tiled treatment room.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Pera Bianca
The restaurant occupies restored 18th-century stone sheepfolds, serving Mediterranean dishes prepared with produce from the organic garden.
At the table
The terrace bar pours regional Patrimonio wines and cocktails beneath vine-covered stone pillars.
How it began
Once the 18th-century summer retreat of the Count of Morlaas, this agricultural estate produced olive oil, grain, and citrus.
