Few beds in town, more on the coast: in Sartène, the area decides everything.
Sartène has few places to stay, and many visitors sleep on the coast before coming up to town for the day. In town, the choice comes down to one hotel on the edge of the old town, plus a few hotels and an apartment residence along cours Sœur Amélie and the Propriano road. Outside town, the picture changes: a holiday rental and a lodge in the Rizzanèse valley, and a farm, hotels and a holiday residence on the coast of Tizzano and Roccapina.
For a wider choice, the Gulf of Valinco, at Propriano and Olmeto, remains the simplest option. We include a few places to stay there, and all the others are on our page of places to stay in Propriano.
So the choice is between three kinds of stay: the town on foot, the quiet countryside, or the sea. The areas run from the old town to the coast. For each one you will read what sets it apart and who it suits, then our places to stay, with their Booking rating and the date it was recorded. The map shows them all, and our tips help you decide.
