Auberge de la Restonica in Corte - Hotel Restaurant with swimming pool
The Auberge de la Restonica is set in a remarkable location on the way up the valley and its eponymous river, near Corte. It has seven air-conditioned rooms and a semi-gastronomic restaurant with lounge area by the pool and river.
A charming hotel-restaurant in the heart of Restonica
Just 5 minutes up the Restonica valley from Corte is the Auberge de la Restonica, a family-run establishment handed down through four generations. Today run by Rachel and Emilie Arnol, the inn was originally the vacation home of their great-grandmother, who welcomed her first guests here in winter in a simple, warm atmosphere.
Open every day from April to October (restaurant closed on Mondays), the inn offers lunch and dinner service, as well as a welcome tray in your room. In low season, it is open by reservation for private events: weddings, christenings, seminars or group stays.
Restaurant cuisine corse semi-gastronomique revisitée
The Restonica restaurant offers gastronomic dishes with traditional flavors revisited, such as filet de la Restonica, a beef fillet with ewe's milk cheese deglazed with brandy, or another specialty, confit corsican suckling lamb.
Rachel and Emilie choose local produce from a farm in Corte for their lamb, PDO charcuterie and regional cheeses
, and combine it with seasonal vegetables from the chef's hand to create a delicious cuisine.

The restaurant has two private parking lots, the first of which is accessible on the left as you arrive from Corte. It is situated below the restaurant and is naturally shaded by large trees.

Hotel-Restaurant with swimming pool in Corte
Enjoy the swimming pool in the heart of nature at the Auberge de la Restonica in Corte, in an exceptional natural setting. The pool - equipped with a shower and footbath - is available to guests of the restaurant or inn, with deckchair hire.
The pool is not supervised, and children remain the responsibility of their parents.
A riverside terrace in the heart of nature
The auberge is nestled in the heart of the Restonica valley, an environment of river, mountain and forest. The terrace overlooks the swimming pool and the river, whose bed was reshaped by the storm of November 2023. You'll enjoy a peaceful setting, just as pleasant from the inside thanks to a large bay window.
Double, triple and duplex family rooms
The inn has 7 rooms divided into 3 triple rooms, 3 double rooms and a duplex family room that can accommodate 4 to 6 people, for a total capacity of 21.
Following renovation, all rooms were fitted with air conditioning in 2018 and feature wifi internet connection, bathroom, shower, hairdryer.
Services
As the location offers little GSM network, Rachel and Emilie invite you to contact them on the establishment's landline telephone.
Family duplex
The duplex offers a comfortable space, you'll feel right at home here, and appreciate the thoughtful decoration.
A small corridor with a large sliding wardrobe leads to the bathroom, and the living room on your right.
The two bedrooms can be reached via the staircase in an attic space separated by a curtain, with two double beds.

Remarkable site
This listed site attracts many visitors throughout the summer, who appreciate the freshness of the valley and its river lined with laricio pines. Hiking trails leading to the Melu and Capitellu lakes can be discovered upstream from the valley. These sites are protected to preserve the ecosystem that supports endemic species, some of which are unique, notably in the Restonica gorges.
