Hôtel Version Maquis Citadelle — Hotel in Sartène

An absolutely magical stay in Bonifacio!

The hotel is beautiful, and located just minutes from the Citadelle, but set in lush green gardens. The staff are lovely, the setting is peaceful and we loved our stay.

Things I would want to know:

The place is stunning and serene. It’s very new and beautifully maintained. The view of the town is just stunning, and the pool area is really magical. There’s gorgeous decked routes that lead through the gardens to the rooms, so special.

It’s small! Genuinely a boutique hotel, whilst at the same time, it’s properly 5 star.

You can’t really walk to Bonifacio, but the hotel will drop you off and pick you up in a Range Rover, whenever you want it! We would just WhatsApp the hotel, and 5 minutes later the car would arrive. This really was an amazingly easy service to use.

Breakfast isn’t included, and is EUR35 per head - for this you get two hot drinks, a buffet breakfast and eggs cooked to order. The setting is stunning, and the food was really high quality.

Dinner - don’t forget to reserve for dinner. The restaurant is busy (lots of non-hotel guests visit, as it’s beautiful!) and rightly so. The food is Italian, modern and generous portions. Definitely recommend.

Our room was almost like a cabana - it was single story, totally quiet (in the middle of gardens, with no road noise at all). The bathrooms are ‘open plan’ - which I don’t love (not even a curtain separates from the bedroom) but, the rooms are spacious and well laid out, and ours came with an incredible view of Bonifacio.

The spa is absolutely beautiful! The website doesn’t reflect how stunning it is. Don’t miss out on visiting it.

There’s tortoises that roam the grounds! Most easily seen the morning and late afternoon. One crossed our path and we saw another eating its lunch in the gardens.

So all in all, just an amazing stay. Prices were fair (EUR600 in high season) for a genuinely boutique, yet five star, experience in a stunning location on a beautiful island. Thank you so much, we...

I recently spent five days at this hotel and was thoroughly delighted with every aspect of my stay. I arrived feeling tired and stressed, but left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The attention to detail here is truly exceptional, starting with breakfast. The morning spread is sumptuous and varied, catering to every lifestyle and preference. Great coffees and teas.

The pool area and outdoor spaces are stunning and immaculately maintained. There’s no need to rush to reserve sunbeds—there are always plenty available, and the quality of the furniture is excellent. The gym is well-equipped and highly functional, perfect for keeping up with your fitness routine.

My room was well appointed and extremely comfortable. I especially appreciated the high-quality bedding and luxurious toiletries. Housekeeping does a stellar job, maintaining everything to the highest standard. As a light sleeper, I was impressed by how quiet the room was—no noise from outside or neighboring rooms.

Beyond breakfast, I enjoyed lunch both in the main restaurant and by the pool, as well as dinner at their Italian restaurant. The food was consistently outstanding.

The complimentary shuttle service to Bonifacio is a fantastic bonus. The staff are always ready to drop you off and pick you up at your convenience.

Most importantly, the service provided by the staff is truly five-star. They go above and beyond to make you feel pampered and genuinely welcome.

I visit South Corsica two to three times a year, and this is by far the best hotel I have experienced in the region. Highly...

Wonderful hotel. We stayed here for two nights in May. Our first visit to Bonifacio (and to Corsica.) The grounds are beautiful, and the view from the pool/restaurant area is gorgeous. The room is big, decorated with a lot of taste and thought, and very very comfortable (excellent bed; slept like a log.) We had logistical difficulties (nothing to do with the hotel) and the staff was so helpful (even though the problem we had started well before we came to Bonifacio and had nothing to do with the hotel.) Julie at the reception (I believe that was her name) spent a lot of time helping us with phone calls and printing out documents as we were trying to solve our logistical issue. She's the best! We were stressed by all of this stuff, so we booked a massage in the adjacent spa. Best massage ever! (And I don't like massages, in general. My wife does, but I usually don't like them. This one was just terrific. I felt so relaxed and refreshed after it!) The shuttle to and from town is a great service, and very easy to organize. We didn't really eat in the restaurant, but my wife ordered a sandwich there for lunch, and even now, after our return to the US, she says it's "the best sandwich she's ever had." (I have no idea what was in it.) We had to cut our stay short to deal with some stuff, but we would happily stay for a few more nights, if we could. The hotel isn't cheap, but considering what we got in return, it was well worth it....
