Mariosa
Intimate family-owned boutique hotel with a barefoot-chic aesthetic. Corsican stone and bleached wood throughout. Unpretentious and warm, with a distinct local personality — co-founder Marie-Madeleine runs the kitchen using local and organic produce.
Book a sea-view room (Côté Mer) rather than garden-view — garden rooms look over the parking area
Why It Matters
One of the few independently owned boutique hotels directly on the Porto-Vecchio waterfront with a private beach. A genuine family project — not a managed property — which shows in the service. Listed on Tablet Hotels. Renovated in 2017. Open seasonally May to early October.
Mariosa is a family project built on the founders' own land, sitting on the waterfront on the road to Palombaggia's beaches — one of Corsica's most celebrated coastlines. The 25 rooms and suites (plus a further 5 in a separate hilltop annexe) spread across two low-rise buildings, blending aged wood, Corsican granite, and pale beach-house tones. Most rooms open directly onto sea or garden views, with freestanding bathtubs and private terraces. The mood is informal: think relaxed Mediterranean inn run by people who actually care, not a slick resort machine.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Côté Jardin
Ground floor garden-view rooms. Each has 26 m² of interior space plus an 18 m² landscaped private terrace. Contemporary open-plan design with the freestanding bathtub in the bedroom (separate toilet and shower). Views face the garden rather than the sea — worth knowing, as the garden terrace overlooks the parking area.
26 sqmCôté Mer
Second-floor sea-view rooms at 26 m² with a balcony facing the bay. Same open-plan bathroom setup as garden rooms — freestanding bathtub sits in the bedroom. These are the pick for couples who want a view without paying suite prices.
26 sqm
Exclusive Rooms
Four rooms located in the hillside annexe building, 150 metres from the main hotel. More secluded than the main building rooms. Share the quieter, more private environment of the hilltop setting near the Suite Prestige.
Suite Confort Pinède
Top-floor 55 m² suite with a double bedroom, a separate living room with a double sofa bed, and an 18 m² pine-forest-facing terrace. Fits up to four people. A solid family option with real separation between sleeping spaces.
55 sqmSuite Mariosa
Top-floor family suite at 52 m² with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio and the island of Ziglione. Named after the hotel itself. Sleeps up to four. The terrace is the headline feature here.
52 sqmSuite Prestige
The flagship accommodation, housed in a separate 150 m-uphill annexe away from the main building for maximum privacy. A substantial 200 m² with a large living room overlooking the bay of Porto-Vecchio, a master bedroom with private terrace and en-suite bathroom, and a second double bedroom with its own bathroom. Comes with a private heated swimming pool. This is essentially a private villa experience.
200 sqmSuite Vue Mer
Top-floor 60 m² suite consisting of a 26 m² master bedroom with a sea-view terrace and a 17 m² third bedroom with a pinewood terrace. The largest of the three family suites in the main building. Can accommodate up to four or five.
