After undergoing major renovations, the hotel is a truly unique place, a friendly, elegant and refined retreat, blending heritage and modernity.
A beautiful family-owned hotel that stands on the Cala Rossa peninsula, with the sea lapping at its feet along a vast sandy beach. A timeless fairy-tale setting with a warm atmosphere that wonderfully combines letting go, relaxing, and regenerating.
A select address right on the bay of Porto-Vecchio, owned by the same family and handed down from generation to generation. A charming location to rediscover how to “take the time to live”, while enjoying an exceptional property.
GREEN THINKING AT CALAROSSA
Nature is omnipresent at Cala Rossa, so it is only natural for us to make protecting the environment a real priority.
It is also a unique opportunity to get all of our employees involved in setting up a sorting system for recycling, being more energy efficient, redesigning gardens and creating an organic vegetable garden, and also buying from responsible and local sources as much as possible.
Your help is also essential to reduce waste in all its forms. Thanks to your efforts, we have already been able to significantly reduce the number of laundry loads, but there is still a long way to go.
In today’s world, it is certainly hard to imagine giving up the comfort of air-conditioning. But far too often, windows are left open and rooms temporarily empty with air conditioners running… Apart from the negative impact on appliance systems, such actions lead to a generally unacceptable situation.
Our facilities make it possible to cool down your space in just 15 minutes if all guidelines are followed. Thank you in advance for your vigilance. Greater awareness of ecological issues also led us to create our natural cosmetics brand, NUCCA.
To respect the health of our customers and therapists, we made the choice to ban all chemicals in making our brand, and opted to source the ingredients for our cosmetics from an exceptionally preserved natural environment in Corsica. The toiletry items placed in the room are packaged in recyclable containers.
The marine environment is another area that must be respected and protected. After almost two decades of absence, molluscs and sea urchins have returned to the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. On our own small scale, we want to help to protect marine fauna and preserve bathing water quality.
Guests can join us in this ambitious mission during their stay. This is why we ask that guests not use traditional sunscreens containing chemical filters and nanoparticles.

Le chef pâtissier
FRANCIS PEAN
For three decades now, Francis Péan’s delicious deserts have seduced the most demanding palates. He really loves his island and selects the best ingredients with the utmost attention (honey, citruses, hazelnut) and takes his inspiration from the hotel’s herb garden.
CALA ROSSA’S GARDEN OF EDEN
Cala Rossa’s kitchen garden is quite simply amazing. A paradise of vegetation a few metres from the kitchens, encouraging and enhancing gourmet creativity.
Landscape architect Philippe Niez, a poet of the senses and the emotions, was inspired by the Mediterranean basin’s outstanding natural environment to design a deliciously sensual and prolific garden.
Surrounded by mimosa and tamarisk, lavender and fig trees stand side by side with aromatic herbs, tomatoes, aubergines, rocket, mangetout and a multitude of other species.
The aim is to attract pollinating insects, with a method that uses straw and compost to protect the soil microfauna, obtaining an entirely organic vegetable garden. The rewards are apparent, since this kitchen garden has become a marvellous setting for meditation and exploration.
The oyster flavoured mertensia maritima grows here, along with turmeric, ginger and Sichuan pepper; at the end is a circle of citrus teas (citron, kaffir lime, limequat, Buddha’s hand fruit and the rare finger lime, or citrus australasica…)
Before sunset, the chef’s assistants appear as if in a culinary dream to gather borage flowers, herba-barona thyme, lesser calamint, raspberries and wild strawberries to complement the chefs’ dishes.
PORTO-VECCHIO
Porto Vecchio is Corsica’s third biggest town.
It is ideally located between sea and mountain, bordered on the east by the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the west by the Ospedale and Cagna mountains.
The slogan “city of salt” is sometimes used, with the presence of salt marshes that are still active adjacent to the harbour. Surrounded by 4 bastions, the upper town, with its cosy small bars and elegant boutiques, hosts ongoing cultural and leisure activities during the summer months.
