The Spa offers massages and treatments with essential oils from the Corsican maquis, aquatic osteopathy, respirology class and à la carte beauty and wellness treatments.

The Local Area

The hotel is situated 2km from the town of Porticcio which is in turn 15km from the centre of the city of Ajaccio.

Porticcio has a beautiful stretch of beach known as the Plage de la Viva, perfect for water sports enthusiasts so can be busy during July/August, and an array of shops, bars and restaurants.

Ajaccio, with its palm-fringed promenade and boulevards, extensive shopping, elegant buildings, citadel and port is a distinguished capital reminiscent of Nice and the French Riviera.

There are numerous restaurants and bars throughout the city, along with beautiful long, sandy beaches on the road towards the Sanguinaire islands. Ajaccio is a fascinating mix of old and new, lively and peaceful, cosmopolitan and provincial.  

Huw's View

We are delighted to include Sofitel Golfe d'Ajaccio Thalassa Sea & Spa to the Just Corsica Holiday Collection which stands in a panoramic position in the Gulf of Ajaccio. 

Suitable for both couples and families, this hotel benefits from stunning sea views from its rocky promontory which can also be enjoyed from the guest rooms, restaurant, pool and bar terraces. 

I can highly recommend the MyBed™ concept which are very comfortable! 

Sofitel offers guests excellent service and a wide variety of activities particularly for those who are looking for watersports (extra cost). 

This hotel is well situated for both the airport (which is not intrusive) and to visit Ajaccio, the capital city of Corsica. 

Car hire recommended to see more of the local area.
