Domaine de Murtoli

STAY AWAY!!!||My wife and I have spent a few nights in the newly opened A Mandria hotel from Domaine di Murtoli in July 2025, so we can speak only for A Mandria here. ||The hotel opened in June and to be honest the place is still largely a construction site that will probably only be really finished towards 2027. The hotel restaurant is supposed to be upscale with high quality food, however, we experienced a very low quality of ingredients and extremely overpriced food. They offer pricy focaccia bread and without mention it is drenched in spicy sambal olek sauce, not edible at all. The menu stays the same for lunch and dinner every day and there is only one restaurant. ||||When we wanted to access the beach as advertised, we had to drive around 40min over off-road tracks and gravel (watch out for your car) to arrive at a beach and restaurant. The beach is beautiful in itself, long and wide with relatively few people. However, the service was simply horrible and rude, and as guests of A Mandria you are only allowed to use a small area at the end of the beach by the swamp. ||We stayed at the hotel with our two mini yorkie dogs, it was still allowed back then and we paid €50 a night for the dogs, when we experienced the absolute impossible nightmare at the pool one day. It was clear to all staff and the owner that we were the only non-French guests at the hotel and the treatment was accordingly. While lounging with one of our yorkies at the pool cabana one day, the apparent owner of the hotel had a wine drinking party in the pool with his friends. Wine glasses and bottles at the pool side, dangerous for kids playing around. When our dog barked, the owner then clearly intoxicated started coming to our pool cabana leaning over to us with his oiled fat belly glitzing in the sun and telling us in an angry voice to "shut up the dog". I told him that the dog is barking because of him and that it is difficult to do so when keeps yelling and attacking us. The owner then became more and more angry and told us that the dogs are only allowed in the hotel room and not on the grounds and in the restaurant and by the pool (which is completely the opposite what we were told by the staff). And then he added, that if we do not like this new rule we can "go back to where we came from" implying clearly that we were not valued the same as the French guests and that he will give us our money back "because he is the owner and he does not need our money". Offended by the racism and the clear hatred for animals from a drunk pretentious owner, we indeed left the hotel grounds immediately and moved into one of the better hotels in the area. ||As this hotel attempts to be a high-end luxury resort, we can only recommend to stay away and spend your money at a real luxury hotel.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of spending two nights in Suite Murtoli. The service was incredible, and all of the staff were professional and kind; even when our French was lacking they could all easily switch to English. The private beach at Murtoli was the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. The food at Table de la Plage and Table de la Ferme was incredible. While we were one of few families with children, they were very welcoming. The domaine is gorgeous, thoughtful, and so welcoming. We will be back.

Arranged a lunch booking via email. Arrived at restaurant only to be told there was no availability. I showed reception the email exchange, they contacted the director and said “non”.|This place is off the beaten track, so it was a long journey for nothing.|Be warned!

We’ve been Murtoli guests for 3 nights in August. The Domaine is incredibly located, quiet and with a magical atmosphere. The beach -very exclusive and protected- is perfect for a relaxing stay. The room very comfortable, huge and with a good privacy, is well equipped. |The boat trip to “plage d’argent” has been amazing and the skipper was extremely professional and kind. ||On the other hand there are some points to improve (I’ve sent an email at the end of our stay but I did not received any feedback/answer, and I find this extremely unprofessional.) : |1) arrived at the reception, during the check-in nobody told us about the domaine, about the swimming pool, about the golf, about the beach, about restaurants, about ANYTHING ! Spending more than 1.000€/night means receive a different treatment. |2) The guy that brought us the lagguage in the room the day of the arrival, just left them (rudely) at the entrance of the room. We expected to have them inside the fitting room. |3) Breakfast a la carte is ok, but I expect more variety of food/drinks and different choices salty and sweet. service during the breakfast has been extremely basic (nobody greet us at the arrival in the breakfast room, we’ve needed to ask how it works and so far and so on.) 4) Only the last day there was a guy, very professional, smiling and suited to the domaine. |The day of the check out, at least a small bottle of water we expected but ... nothing . We just received a "have a nice trip, enjoy Corsica".

The place is great, very exclusive but I cannot say the same about the menu and the food. EXAGEROUS prices for a diner's menu. I expected a more sophisticated menu. For the place nothing to say because it is unique

Murtoli is an experience you will never forget. We were a group of 12 friends traveling there to celebrate the 50 anniversary of one of them. |From the moment you step down from the car, someone is welcoming you. In our case it was the daughter of the owners welcoming us at 11.30 in the evening. She was extremely nice, explaining all the facilities, the program they have and all the possibilities we have around. |The check-in was fast - you had your welcome drink wile the formalities were done. The front desk staff was always nice and helpful. The bartender was also willing to accommodate all our wishes and stayed till the last order was done. |We stayed in the main part of the hotel, in a very beautiful rustic room that provided all the comfort you need. Cleaning was done several times a day, water provided all the time.|They also have a beautiful movie-like cigar bar for the smokers.|We had an exquisite dinner in the main restaurant. And when I say exquisite please understand that it was above any expectations one could have. |In another evening we had the dinner in The Grotte restaurant - that is an experience one could not miss. They even organized for local singers to come and make the evening unforgettable. |The breakfast was a minus, maybe because we did not choose the right package or because we were expecting a lot of fresh vegetables on the table and they did not have them listed in the menu. We had to ask several times for fresh tomatoes, they brought a few on the table and than the waiter just ignored us. The attitude of the waiters serving the breakfast was poor: the drinks came late, they did not say if something we order would not be possible to be done, they just ignored the requests. |In case you have asthma, as I do, remove the dried decorative plants from the room in order to sleep well.

When I read some of the other reviews I cannot help wondering if we were at the same place.|We went for lunch in the main Michelin star restaurant, La Ferme.|They were inefficient at reception and should be much slicker about knowing who you are and showing you to the table with out having to stand around. That aside we had an amazing lunch and hope to come back and stay here next time.|The wine list is the best on Corsica with an amazing “ local” selection as well as other regions and not badly priced. The service and food were perfect and we left very satisfied.

One of the most magical hotels I’ve stayed at. Food is excellent. Staff is very friendly. A wonderful time had by all.
