Private, Shaded Parking

The restaurant has two private parking lots; the one for the restaurant is the first one on your left as you arrive from Corte. It is located below street level and is naturally shaded by large trees. The second parking lot is located at the second turn-off near the reception area of the Auberge de la Restonica.

Restaurant with a Pool in Corte

Enjoy the outdoor pool surrounded by nature at the Auberge de la Restonica in Corte, in an exceptional natural setting. The pool—equipped with a shower and a footbath—is available to restaurant and inn guests, with lounge chair rentals available. The pool is unsupervised; children remain the responsibility of their parents.

A terrace surrounded by nature, on the riverbank

The inn is nestled in the heart of the Restonica Valley, surrounded by river, mountains, and forest. The terrace overlooks the pool, which in turn overlooks the river—whose bed was reshaped by the November 2023 storm. You'll enjoy a peaceful setting, which is just as pleasant from inside thanks to a large picture window.

Double, triple, and family duplex rooms

The inn has 7 rooms, including 3 triple rooms, 3 double rooms, and one family duplex room that can accommodate 4 to 6 people, for a total capacity of 21 guests. Following a renovation, all rooms were equipped with air conditioning in 2018 and feature Wi-Fi, a bathroom, shower, and hair dryer.

Since cell service is limited in the area, Rachel and Emilie invite you to contact them on the inn's landline.

Family Duplex

The duplex offers a comfortable space where you'll feel right at home and appreciate the thoughtful decor.

A small hallway with a large sliding wardrobe leads to the bathroom, with the living room on your right. You can reach the two bedrooms via the staircase, which leads to an attic-style area separated by a curtain, featuring two double beds.

Reservations

We also recommend making a reservation for the restaurant, especially during the summer months. Highly popular with both travelers and locals in the Cortena region, the Auberge de la Restonica is often fully booked for both lunch and dinner. Booking in advance ensures you'll have a table and allows you to relax and enjoy the terrace, the pool, and the exceptional natural setting surrounding the property.

Private Receptions and Events During the Off-Season

While sunny days are the heart of the Auberge de la Restonica's business, the establishment remains lively during the winter months thanks to the organization of private receptions and corporate events. Its peaceful setting, cozy rooms, and spacious outdoor area make it a popular venue for gatherings with family, friends, or colleagues.

The inn can host intimate weddings, birthdays, baptisms, family dinners, seminars, business meetings, corporate Christmas parties, and New Year's celebrations held in January. The option to reserve certain spaces exclusively allows you to create custom events in a stunning natural setting, nestled in the mountains of the Restonica Valley, just a few minutes from the center of Corte, in complete privacy.

To organize a reception or private event, we recommend contacting the inn directly to explore the various hosting options and services available.

Notable Site

This protected site attracts many visitors throughout the summer who enjoy the coolness of the valley and its river lined with Laricio pines. Hiking trails leading to the Melu Lakes and Capitellu can be explored further up the valley. These sites are protected to preserve the ecosystem that is home to endemic species—some of which are unique—particularly in the Restonica Gorges.
