Chez Marie Hotel Linguizzetta

Review by hotel critic

Chez Marie stands as an intriguing blend of rustic charm and thoughtful hospitality against the arid backdrop of Corsica. At first glance, the building may invoke skepticism, but entering reveals a cozy retreat with well-maintained rooms and an inviting bar/lounge area. My stay was marked by exemplary housekeeping, with daily refreshment of linens and consistent attention to cleanliness. The hotel boasts a delightful restaurant that showcases local produce, making dining a true highlight. The terrace, adorned with comfortable garden furniture, becomes an ideal setting for enjoying tasty meals al fresco. A cooling air conditioning unit offered some reprieve from the summer heat, a critical feature given Corsica's climate. While the hotel's location is somewhat distant from major tourist spots, it offers proximity to serene beaches and scenic hiking trails. The knowledge and passion of the owners, who readily share insights about local attractions, further enrich the experience. Chez Marie presents a compelling case for travelers seeking a balance between luxury amenities and affordability—a worthy choice for those prioritizing authentic experiences over tourist traps.
