If you like hotels with ostentatious luxury, you'll have to pass, the Domaine de Murtoli is not for you. However, if you appreciate discreet luxury, impeccable service, and are primarily looking to benefit from an idyllic setting in the heart of nature, then you will undoubtedly make the most of the Domaine de Murtoli.

The residences can accommodate a couple or host up to 12 people. They are scattered throughout the heart of the estate: near the cove, in the valley, or in the maquis. Each has its own unique atmosphere, and the houses are far enough apart for you to feel like you're alone in the world.

Each one bears Corsican names such as A Liccia (the holm oak) or A Persia (Savory). You choose your little house based on its location or how many people it can accommodate. Imagine yourself in an old sheepfold, with your own stone-surrounded swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, a summer lounge, and your own garden... you are in your own home, while enjoying attentive service. You are a 5-minute drive from the beach, but will you really want to leave the estate?

The Domaine de Murtoli is an ode to nature, even in the materials used for the homes. Few exceptional places like this exist, especially in France. When one thinks of Murtoli, one cannot help but connect it to the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California, which perfectly combines a breathtaking setting with impeccable service.

Le Domaine de Murtoli offers several dining options. La Grotte, a natural cave transformed into a restaurant, allows you to savor local and estate products in a friendly atmosphere. The Beach Restaurant is ideal for grilled fish lovers and romantic dinners overlooking the sea. Two other options are available if you prefer to stay in your cozy nest. You can arrange for a caterer to prepare dinner for your guests and yourself; or, if you wish to picnic in your garden or outdoors, and for intimate breakfasts, the baskets from Domaine de Murtoli full of local products.

Le Domaine de Murtoli offers numerous activities, including spa treatments, walks, and horseback riding, for example. The beach is just a few minutes away by car, but we especially recommend enjoying the beauty of the region's landscapes by lounging in your garden or opting for short hikes.

In a nutshell

  • Choose your home in the heart of nature.
  • An exceptional setting conducive to recharging one's batteries.
  • Variety of activities and dining solutions.

Dining:

If you want to fully enjoy the Domaine de Murtoli, we advise you to stay within the domain as much as possible. Ideally, use the catering service for a slightly exceptional dinner or, quite simply, do your shopping. You have a superb kitchen that allows you to cook whatever you fancy, with local products.

With the kids

Enjoy this time together to reconnect. Your private natural pool will offer many opportunities for fun and relaxation.

You can also go on many walks and horseback riding.

Inspiration

Shopping
There's no shortage of specialties in Corsica. You can bring back AOC honey, canistrelli, which are Corsican dry biscuits, as well as other chestnut flour cakes. Brocciu is the typical cheese of Corsica, but it's more difficult to transport!

Out for a walk
Le Domaine de Murtoli offers optional full-day excursions, whether you want to explore the Corsican scrubland with a specialist or go on a day trip by sea.

Zen
You will undoubtedly find Zen if you take the time to enjoy your little house, your swimming pool, and let time drift by. The Domaine de Murtoli also offers an outdoor spa, with body and facial treatments, massages, and also affusion showers. A must-try!

In the suitcase
Walking clothes if you want to go for a stroll, your swimsuit for your pool, a light sweater for stargazing at night. Cut off all forms of communication and let yourself go.
