Hôtel Le Pinarello  

On Corsica’s sun-drenched southern shore in the little village of Pinarello (Zonza), right on a protected bay and a minute’s drive from Pinarellu Beach. A short hop by car brings you to Porto-Vecchio Marina and the famed southern beaches of Canella and Palombaggia.

A boutique beachfront hotel with calm, seaside vibes and a touch of Corsican flair. Rooms (33 total) have private balconies with sea views, pillowtop beds and premium bedding, minibars, iPod docking and flat-screen TVs — simple comforts with a coastal edge.

Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, plus a hammam/steam area. Private beach and a seasonal outdoor/infinity-style pool for lazy sea-breeze mornings. 24-hour fitness center and a yoga area, concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking and laundry/dry-cleaning on site.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and a computer station in the lobby. 24-hour reception and concierge services to help with transfers and local arrangements.

La Table du Pinarello sits beachfront and serves French cuisine with ocean views and a relaxed bar/lounge vibe. Buffet breakfasts are available daily (for a fee) and limited room service is offered for late-night cravings.
