The Accommodation

The spacious guest rooms are arranged on 3 floors, furnished in traditional style and colourful decorations.

There is the choice of Classic rooms with pine view and Comfort Harbour Side rooms with a view over the gulf, each with en suite bath and/or shower room, air conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, minibar and safe. The Comfort rooms can sleep 3 with double and single bed.

The Restaurant & Bar

The hotel offers a buffet breakfast in the renowned restaurant with terrace overlooking the Gulf of Porto Vecchio, lunch and dinner are also available (both extra cost).  There is a bar is available for drinks throughout the day and evening.

The Facilities

Whilst the hotel does not have a swimming pool, it has its own small private beach with sunbeds and parasols, the sea can also be accessed directly from the hotel lawned garden.  Moorings are available for guests who wish to arrive at the hotel by boat (maximum length 12m, extra cost)

The famous beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia are 8km away and the reception can arrange excursions and a number of activities locally such as watersports and horse riding (all extra cost).  

The hotel is situated just 350m from the marina and 1km from the old town above with an array of shops, café bars and restaurants.  Guests with a hire car can access the port of Bonifacio (30km) and ancient hillside town of Sartène (50km) plus the dramatic mountains and ancient forests of Alta Rocca. 

The Local Area

Hotel Le Goéland boasts an enviable position being one of very few hotels in the area to have its own beach and be able to walk to the marina and the old town. The centre of the elegant, cultured and vibrant town of Porto Vecchio (the third largest on the island) overlooks the magnificent Gulf of Porto Vecchio and whilst cosmopolitan, still retains an underlying Corsican charm.

The town is in two sections: the old town with a vibrant buzz with numerous shops, cafes and restaurants; the marina lined with restaurants and home to impressive yachts. With its reputation for being the liveliest town on the island and spectacular beaches within easy reach, visitors have included Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni, Kate Moss, Lewis Hamilton and Paris Hilton. The town was the starting point for the 2013 Tour de France and consequently attracts keen cyclists from far and wide.

Huw's View

Hotel Le Goéland will suit couples looking for a waterfront hotel with wonderful views, walking distance of town and short drive from the beautiful beaches on the south east corner of the island.

This hotel would be an ideal base to relax, dine in or out and explore this stunning scenic area of Corsica.  

I would therefore recommend car hire to for those wanting to experience the beauty of the extreme south of Corsica including nearby Bonifacio with famous marina, cobbled streets of the old town and amazing clifftop views, as well as the picturesque hinterland of the Alta Rocca.
