Domaine de Murtoli

At a glance

Set between Sartène and Bonifacio on the wild southern tip of Corsica, Domaine de Murtoli defies definition. Behind an inconspicuous wrought iron gate, 2,500 hectares of unspoiled maquis, forest, meadows, creeks and private coastline gradually reveal themselves as something close to a private kingdom. This is a four-generation family estate at heart, and its soul is agricultural: the organic farm supplies olive oil, ewes' cheeses, free-range eggs, honey, estate gin and cattle-reared meat to all four of its restaurants. The luxury here is raw and spatial.

Guests choose between twenty restored 17th-century shepherd houses and villas scattered across the estate, each self-catered with a private pool, or one of two five-star hotels at the heart of the domain. Open April to December, Murtoli suits families who want genuine immersion in nature: a private beach, horseback riding through the Ortolo valley, golf on a wild links course and a Michelin-starred dinner as the sun drops behind the mountains. There is no permanent kids club or structured children's programme, though every October the estate dedicates a full week during the school half-term break to a themed family stay, with activities designed for both children and parents. The estate itself is the programme.

Where you'll stay

Twenty restored 17th-century stone properties across three geographic groupings, each with a private pool, private garden, fully equipped kitchen and full daily hotel service including delivery of bread, pastries, butter and jams. Distances between villas and restaurants vary; some properties are 15–30 minutes from the beach or restaurants by car, which is worth factoring into your choice.

Cots and highchairs available on request. All properties include Wi-Fi and daily maid service. Regarding Wi-Fi, please bear in mind that Murtoli is very remotely located and connection can sometimes be affected by external events. Nature reigns supreme here.
