Description

Hotel A Piattatella is a small, intimate hotel offering stunning views, a great restaurant and the option to pamper yourself during your stay.

Perched on a hillside above Monticello overlooking the mountains of la Balagne and the Regino valley, Hôtel A Piattatella blends perfectly into its surroundings and provides a picture-perfect retreat for a romantic getaway in the Corsican hills. Hôtel A Piattatella was sophisticatedly designed by its owners, Thierry and Valérie, who wanted to combine nature with intimate luxury. The results are fantastic, with stylish interiors, modern, spacious rooms and many hidden corners carefully tailored to complete relaxation.

The scenery here is breathtaking, and you’ll be spoilt with views whether you’re basking by the pool, having an early evening drink on the terrace or relaxing in your room. The wellness area offers a whole host of treatments (payable locally), whilst the restaurant serves high-quality light lunches and evening meals using local fresh produce. With so few guests, the staff are attentive and always on hand without being intrusive.

There are several pretty hiking trails nearby for those eager to discover the area on foot or with your own car; you’ll be able to explore la Balagne’s stunning coastline at your own pace. L’Ile Rousse, with its local produce market, vibrant café terraces and beautiful sandy beach, is only a 15-minute drive away.
