The Accommodation

Once the home of the Renucci family who still live in the village, the property was built by Nicolas Renucci in 1870 on his return from Puerto Rico from where his architectural inspiration was obtained and which heavily influenced the design of this wonderful building. Lovingly converted to a hotel in 1962 by the creator’s great grandnephew, Jean Renucci this ‘palazzu’ (‘palace’ in Corsican), has welcomed numerous distinguished guests in its lifetime and, given its reputation, will doubtless welcome many more.

The hotel has 16 well-appointed guest rooms with a traditional, simple design in keeping with the architecture of the building. Most of the rooms are air conditioned and all are equipped with telephone, satellite TV, complimentary WiFi and an en suite bath or shower room. Breakfast is served by the hotel in the small dining room but can be delivered to the guest’s room on request. Guests can visit the hotel’s private chapel and view the collection of the Renucci family’s memorabilia lovingly displayed in the first floor Napoleon III lounge.

The Restaurants & Bar

Hotel Mare E Monti’s traditional restaurant Sol E Luna (separately managed) is situated on a lovely, shaded terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The restaurant serves a small yet refined range of specialities prepared using locally sourced, fresh ingredients.

The bar serves a range of refreshing beverages and cocktails which can be enjoyed in the sunshine on the terrace or in the shade of the wooded gardens.

The Facilities

The hotel has a lovely outdoor swimming pool with terrace surround from where guests can enjoy the views down the valley and also of the mountains. There is a beverage and snack service available by the pool so guests can enjoy a truly relaxing day under the Corsican sun.  A beautiful seating area is located underneath the majestic Lebanese cedars and Indian cherry trees, a perfect, tranquil place to read a book or for those seeking a quiet spot to relax. 

There is a range of activities in the local area such as watersports, horse riding, golf and paragliding, most of which can be organised by the hotel plus childcare/ babysitting, massage and treatments (on request, all extra cost).

The Local Area

Hotel Mare E Monti boasts a tranquil setting in the charming village of Feliceto, situated in a stunning location surrounded by rugged mountains with country lanes leading down to the beautiful coastline and beaches.

Glassblowing, wine production and olive oil pressing are the artisan activities that the village is famous for and visitors are welcome to sample the excellent wines produced by Domaine Renucci in the cave adjacent to the hotel.

There are also a number of well-marked trails leading from the village for walkers and there is the opportunity to discover the ancient ‘Bandit’s House’ set high up on the slopes of Monte Grosso overlooking the village.
