"Wildly beautiful but mostly under the tourist radar, southern Corsica’s rugged coastline is home to some of the most dazzling scenery in the Mediterranean. A steeply angled drive along a narrow mountain road leads from the port village of Propriano to Hôtel Marinca & Spa, set on an elevated perch overlooking the sea. The luxury hotel feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, which is a large part of the appeal, and with every detail taken care of — including several stylish restaurants and bars, a Clarins spa with a hammam and a Nordic-style ice room, four swimming pools, and a private beach with sunbeds attended by staff — there’s hardly any reason to leave the premises unless it’s for a pleasure cruise on the hotel’s boat." - Tablet Hotels
