Gault&Millau's review 2026

There are only nine producers in the Sartène appellation. Eight of them in the commune of Sartène, and one on the outskirts of Propriano. Among these defenders of authentic Corsican grape varieties (niellucciu, sciaccarellu, grenache for the reds, vermentinu for the whites) is Philippe Farinelli who, thirty years ago, took over what had become a ruin in which nature was trying to reclaim its rights. Men and women joined forces with Philippe Farinelli to bring the hamlet back to life. Bricklayers, tilers, plumbers, landscapers, laborers... they all helped to put the hamlet back on its feet and back on the straight and narrow path of winegrowing, as it had been until the 1920s. Stone by stone, beam by beam, they rebuilt a cellar, a winery, a restaurant, the manor house and the sheepfolds, making it one of the most charming spots on the Corsican hotel scene. A small village set in lush vegetation, far from the hustle and bustle, where each room and suite is decorated with infinite taste, and where each sheepfold, "U Mulinu" (former oil mill), "A Scola" (former school) and "U Cassedu", welcomes one couple here, four there, and three couples further afield, as in a family home reopened after months of slumber. The pools are at the right temperature, and the sun streams through the branches of hundreds of trees and the rows of vines that surround the hamlet and from which three masterful red, rosé and white wines are produced: Saparale, Casteddu and Natura, guaranteed sulfite-free.
