Where to stay close to the vineyards in Corsica?

From the north to the south of the Isle of Beauty, four hotels nestled in the heart of the vineyards or just a stone's throw away, with, for some addresses, rows of vines grazing the pool or the table on which bottles and glasses from the estate wait for the aperitif.

Cap Corse

In the north of the island, two appellations share Cap Corse. On one side, the Coteaux du Cap Corse PDO and its five winegrowers, whose vines are suspended on vertiginous plateaus. On the other, a natural sweet wine appellation, the famous Muscat du Cap Corse, which stretches its small-grain Muscat vines over 43 hectares shared by some thirty estates. Between the two, the commune of Cagnano, with its feet in the water, its back to the mountains and its eyes riveted on the island of Elba, straight ahead. Misincu is no exception to the rule, with the sea as far as the eye can see and the hills providing protection. With European Ecolabel certification and cutting-edge environmental practices (solar panels for hot water production, selective sorting, plastic-free living, permaculture vegetable garden, etc.), Misincu is above all a haven of peace between sea and nature. The owners have designed an all-white complex of rooms, suites and villas. The former are decorated with driftwood, orchids and light linen, extended by a terrace, balcony or garden. In the second, 40 m², the sea or the countryside as far as the eye can see, and a bohemian atmosphere. The third, whether called Montecristo, Elba, Minerbio or Brachelle, are essentially designed for families or groups of friends, with spaces for cooking or entertaining, terraces, gardens and a volcanic stone swimming pool. For all guests, a spa and two restaurants (La Table and Le Jardin), whose kitchens have been entrusted to chef Reine Sammut, a well-known ambassador of southern cuisine, who juggles admirably with Corsican and Mediterranean produce, and who is also a master of the Mediterranean.these include conchiglioni stuffed with Corsican cod brandade, or a truffle and aged Parmesan risotto escorted by Coteaux du Cap Corse appellation wines.

Direction Calvi

Further south, after leaving Cap Corse and crossing the Patrimonio appellation, we come to the Calvi PDO in the Balagne region between Calvi and Saint-Florent, whose ten estates are 100% certified organic or in conversion. Quite far apart from each other, you certainly need a nice base to spend a few days and take your time to meet these winegrowers renowned for their aromatic rosés and whites. The place to be is in the commune of Feliceto, at Cornu Grossu, not far from the Renucci and Maestracci estates. Here, at Domaine du Reginu, the vines are cultivated and the olive is the queen mother of five hectares of PDO olive oil. In the midst of this paradisiacal olive grove, a beautiful century-old mansion - a mill - houses six luminous rooms and suites, including Sant'Antonino, with its mountain view; Deluxe, with a terrace above the stream; and Deluxe, with its terrace above the stream.a terrace overlooking the stream; the superior garden-level suite with direct access to the pool; or, on the second floor, the Deluxe suite with its breathtaking view of the entire estate. A wellness area, Jacuzzi and gym complete the package for a stay that makes you want to stay in the heart of nature, while the beaches of Île-Rousse are only 15 km away.

A break in Sartène

There are only nine wine producers in the Sartène appellation. Eight of them in the commune of Sartène, and one in 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 him to bring the hamlet back to life. Whether masons, tilers, plumbers, landscapers or laborers, they all played their part in getting 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, the sheepfolds, and turned it into one of the most charming spots on the Corsican hotel scene. A small village in a green setting, far from the hustle and bustle, where each room and suite is decorated with infinite taste; where each sheepfold -"U Mulinu" (the old 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, the sun streams through the branches of hundreds of trees and the rows of vines that surround the hamlet and from which three masterly red, rosé and white cuvées are produced: Saparale, Casteddu and Natura, guaranteed sulfite-free.

Return via Figari

Arguably the oldest vineyard in Corsica, it is said to have appeared as early as the Vᵉ century B.C. This vineyard, the most southerly and sunny, is also said to be the roughest and windiest, but it produces wines of great finesse and structure. This is true of Jean-Baptiste de Peretti della Rocca, one of nine winegrowers committed to this appellation. When he's not in the vineyard or the cellar, Jean-Baptiste keeps a watchful eye on his rooms, his sheepfolds or his treehouse extended by a terrace on stilts. The rooms are more numerous and bear the first names of family members: Colette, Françoise, Jules and Jean-Baptiste. What they all have in common is that they are housed in the estate's main house. On the other hand, the sheepfolds - Josephine, with its private swimming pool, Alba and its 65 m²; Serintina, designed as a house with a fully-equipped kitchen and Mezzanotte, to accommodate a large family or two couples of friends - are spread out in the countryside with the vines within easy reach. Once you've packed your bags, you'll never want to get back in the car, such is the magic of this peaceful setting. As the sun fades, it's time for a glass of wine, a habit that's easy to fall into, greeting the estate's fine vintages, which you'll order again when you pass by the vineyard.a Spartera", hosted by chef Emmanuelle Canonici, who is none other than the owner's cousin. When we say there's everything on site, there's no need to escape for even a day!
