Hotels in Porto-Vecchio: where to stay, area by area

Inside the citadel, close to the restaurants and the evening bustle. Little parking.

In summer, the upper town is packed: ask your accommodation where to leave the car. The lanes are best explored on foot, from the Genoese gate to the bastion de France.

On the port, below the upper town, convenient if you arrive by ferry.

The upper town and its restaurants are within walking distance, uphill. On the shore of the gulf, the pools of the old salt pans mark the entrance to the town.

Between the town and the beach, quiet among the pines. A car is essential. See also our beach guide.

In summer, Palombaggia fills up early: staying nearby lets you get there before the crowds. Expect to pay for parking near some beaches.

On the bay, for families and water sports. See also our beach guide.

Boats leave from here for the Lavezzi. The centre of Porto-Vecchio is about a quarter of an hour away by car, outside summer and without stopping.

On the north side of the gulf, more residential and quieter.

Both beaches, with their clear water, are in the commune of Lecci. Allow about half an hour to the centre of Porto-Vecchio, outside summer and without stopping.
