An Exclusive Coastal Village
Nestled within Corsica's wild southern shores, A Mandria di Murtoli emerges as an intimate sanctuary, a recent jewel in the crown of the extensive Domaine
de Murtoli estate. This property is thoughtfully designed to evoke the feeling of a small, self-contained village, thoughtfully spread across a collection of meticulously restored stone structures. Each dwelling seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary comfort, offering guests a serene base surrounded by fragrant citrus orchards and ancient olive groves. The resort's ethos centers on providing an authentic connection to nature and the simple pleasures of life, a philosophy deeply embedded by its founder, Paul Canarelli, and continued by his family. This approach ensures a tranquil and enriching experience for every visitor seeking an escape from the ordinary.
Intimate Stays and Private Retreats
The heart of A Mandria di Murtoli lies in its exclusive accommodation, comprising a mere 10 rooms and suites, each offering a unique and intimate setting. These accommodations are distributed across various renovated buildings, including former sheepfolds, a barn, and a stable, alongside rooms within the main house. Guests seeking ultimate privacy can opt for suites that boast their own private plunge pools, perfect for a refreshing dip while soaking in the tranquil surroundings. The interior design harmoniously marries rustic elements with chic, comfortable furnishings, featuring exposed stone, wooden beams, and plush linens. Bathrooms are appointed with luxurious, locally sourced skincare products, and private terraces provide serene spots for enjoying morning coffee or evening wine amidst fragrant lavender and olive trees.
Gastronomic Delights Abound

Guests can savor expertly crafted cocktails featuring local spirits alongside delectable charcuterie boards and Italian-inspired dishes, all prepared with produce from the estate's organic farm. Beyond the immediate offerings, A Mandria provides access to the wider Domaine de Murtoli's exceptional dining venues.
