Retro-chic atmosphere on the island of La Pietra in L'Île Rousse 

Breathtaking views of Ile Rousse and Cap Corse

 

To get to this confidential address, you have to take an unexpected route: away from the town centre. While this may come as a surprise at first, it soon becomes clear that the town centre becomes part of the scenery as you move away from it. The establishment is located on the island of Pietra, where the town's small merchant port and historic Genoese tower are situated. It's like an island within an island! From this spit of land in the middle of the sea, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Mediterranean, Ile Rousse and Cap Corse. Although people come to La Pietra for many other reasons, its location, views and setting are what make it so famous. This location also guarantees another essential aspect of a holiday: peace and quiet. The sea, unperturbed, will be your most peaceful neighbour.

 

A journey through time by La Pietra

 

Tired of standardised hotels with no personality? Good news, because at La Pietra, everything is unique. Welcome to a real Corsican cinema set. The owners, the Luciani family, have set themselves apart with a retro-chic style that perfectly suits the hotel's relaxed yet refined state of mind. From the night areas to the living spaces, let yourself be seduced by an atmosphere worthy of a James Bond film. Geometric tiles, piano-bar evenings, Chesterfield sofas and period furniture all invite you to disconnect from the modern world for a meal or a night out. In fact, in the 40 rooms and suitesThe red thread of decoration continues. Colours, shapes, wallpapers, materials - every room is different and has its own personality. Add to this atmosphere a sea view as far as the eye can see, visible from every room in the hotel. Isn't this the perfect setting for a restaurant in île-rousse with a sea view?

 

Ile Rousse, the most Corsican of the Balagne towns

 

Did you know that Île-Rousse takes its name from the reddish colour of its rocks? Also known as the "Paoline city", because it was founded under the republic of the famous Pascal Paoli, the town is now one of the most popular destinations in Haute-Corse. And with good reason, Ile Rousse has everything you'd expect from Corsica: it's a charming seaside town with colourful architecture and its own beach right in the centre of town. In its pedestrianised streets, bars, ice-cream parlours, souvenir shops, local produce stalls and typical restaurants immediately immerse you in a warm Mediterranean atmosphere. This small town of 3,000 inhabitants also has a reputation for remaining very authentic, unlike others that have been denatured by tourism. The reason for this? There's a real local population living here all year round. In summer, you'll recognise them as the boules players on the Place Paoli or the shopkeepers and restaurateurs who welcome you. And that makes all the difference!
