Les Bergeries de Palombaggia

A timeless getaway in Palombaggia An exceptional place where everything comes together to completely disconnect: a magnificent site, superb rooms, an incredible view and, above all, absolute calm. But what truly makes the difference at Les Bergeries de Palombaggia is the people. Stéphanie and Emmanuel, who manage the house, are very attentive, surrounded by an ultra-available team, who are constantly looking for the best solutions to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The food is also top-notch: precise, accurate, and mastered cuisine, accompanied by a passionate Corsican sommelier, who takes you on a journey through the little wine gems of the island. A very special mention to Emma and the entire front office team, always available, as well as to Loubna, a true ray of sweetness and sunshine to start the day at breakfast. It is impossible, of course, to name the whole team, but we felt, at every moment and with everyone, this same desire: to ensure that the guests feel good, quite simply. A sincere and natural attention that makes all the difference. The site, the management, and the team thus form an ideal cocktail to experience a real break of happiness and disconnection. A big thank you to everyone. A very beautiful moment that will remain in our memories for a long time! ⸻ A timeless escape in Palombaggia An exceptional place where everything comes together for a complete escape: a magnificent setting, beautiful rooms, an incredible view and, above all, absolute peace and quiet. But what truly makes Les Bergeries de Palombaggia special is the people. Stéphanie and Emmanuel, who run the hotel, take wonderful care of their guests, surrounded by an incredibly attentive team who are always looking for the best way to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The restaurant is equally impressive: precise, beautifully balanced cuisine, accompanied by a passionate Corsican sommelier who takes you on a journey through some of the island’s wonderful, lesser-known wineries.

This was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve ever had, especially considering the price. I was a bit suspicious when I received 13 unsolicited emails after booking the room 10 of which require required that I pre-pay for the entire stay well before the required timeline they just kept insisting every single day sending me an email. After that, they started sending additional automated emails. I flagged to them that this was completely unnecessary and aggravating and I think I was remove removed from the automated email sequence but beware they will automatically email you incessantly once you book. The rooms were poorly maintained. The sheets and towels smelled strongly of vinegar, felt rough and scratchy, and the layout made no sense. The toilet is in a tiny separate closet, requiring you to walk around the room to reach the sink. The TV is mounted so high on the wall—about seven feet up—that it’s uncomfortable to watch and requires that you sit on a teeny tiny couch! My family also pre-ordered and sent me birthday cake and champagne, which was very nice except that the hotel to serve it to me at nine in the morning. I believe someone had a good sense to put it in the refrigerator, but the champagne sat in my room all day. The outdoor setup is equally strange. The restaurant sits directly beside a comically small pool—you’re literally eating within a couple of feet of people swimming. To make matters worse, there were ants throughout the dining area and flies landing on the breakfast food. The beach was another major disappointment. Although the hotel offers a buggy shuttle, the beach is still a considerable distance away. It’s extremely crowded, and you have to cross a small, foul-smelling stream to reach it. This was not the relaxing beach experience we expected. And like a lot of hotels in Corsica, they blame the Corsa government that they are not able to provide chairs or umbrellas unless you pay an extremely high premium, I was able to secure an umbrella, which was helpful. The location is also very inconvenient. There is essentially nothing within walking distance. You’re about 25 minutes from Santa Giulia and 30 minutes from Porto-Vecchio, so you’re largely stuck eating at the hotel unless you want to drive. The breakfast deserves special mention—and not in a good way. I had already prepaid for both the room and breakfast, yet the hotel attempted to charge me an additional €215 for three days of breakfast, insisting it hadn’t been paid. That was eventually resolved, but it should never have happened. The breakfast itself was mediocre at best, with flies on the food, ants in the dining area, and no indoor seating. In the summer heat, you’re forced to sit outside baking in the sun. When I expressed my concerns (especially when the housekeeping staff walked through the room with dirty shoes, and left a bag of trash there), rather than trying to resolve them, the owners raised their voices and treated me with hostility. It was one of the least professional interactions I’ve had in hospitality. She stormed off and told me to watch myself. I told her the hotel was horrible and I stand by that assessment. I’m sure the hotel will respond by claiming I was the problem, and they’re entitled to their perspective but also be warned that if you somehow upset management, they will yell at you like a child. This review reflects my experience. For the price charged (€3000 for threw nights), there are far better places to stay in southern Corsica. I strongly recommend choosing one of them instead.
