The estate
The park
Estate in South Corsica
Paths cross the property to access the various locations, on foot or by car. Thus, going to the restaurant, your accommodation or the beach offers the opportunity for a pleasant stroll. The Hotel/Residence U PAESOLU park stretches for about 1 Km, up to the protected pond of Padulatu, a protected wetland of great ecological interest. The richness of this site, its fauna and flora are an invitation to walk. Indeed, access from the property to the beach is via the Paesolu wooden footbridge, above the brackish waters which harbour, in particular, the European Pond Terrapin, the aphanius (small protected fish) and many birds, among which the pink flamingo or the graceful white stilt that breeds there.
Fauna & Flora
The flora too is abundant, majestic and fragrant, with a great diversity of species ranging from eucalyptus, to myrtles, arbutus and mastic trees typical of the Corsican maquis, not to mention the cork oaks and the superb maritime pines covering the 10 Ha of beach pine forest. Reptile and turtle species benefit from this diversity, including Hermann's turtle and the amazing Balearic green toad with its red-brown and green spots. The endemic butterfly of Corsica, the Hospiton or "Porte-Queue de Corse", the caterpillar of which feeds on the great ferrule, an umbelliferous plant of the maquis, also unfolds its large yellow and gold wings in this idyllic setting.
The Beach
Bay Beach & its access points
Arriving at the long stretch of fine white sand of Pinarello, you will appreciate its beautiful pine forest, turquoise waters, and gentle slope, making it an ideal beach for children as it is safe. Where the beach ends stands the magnificent 16th century square Genoese tower on the island of Pinarello, called "Isula di i corsi". In the middle of the bay, admire the "Ruscana" islet, its summit white from seabird droppings. On the other side, visit the beautiful, typical marine village of PINARELLO with its bars, restaurants, ice cream parlours, as well as all the water activities essential for great holidays, such as water skiing, diving, sailing etc. and boat rentals too.
Activities
You can enjoy the stunning sea view from the beautiful heated infinity pool, featuring massage jets for adults and water mushrooms for children.
For the more active guests, a free fitness room is available. Finally, for more relaxed yet quintessentially summer activities, a pétanque court is at your disposal, and strolls around the estate offer a refreshing experience.
The privileged location of Hôtel Résidence U Paesolu provides direct access to PINARELLO beach * via its pedestrian walkway, as well as to many other renowned sites in the surrounding area. You can visit Porto-Vecchio and its pedestrian town, Bonifacio with its famous cliffs and caves, as well as natural river pools, the nearby Bavella mountains, and the must-see Ospedale forest, among others.
Within less than an hour’s drive, you will find the famous prehistoric site of Filitosa, numerous hiking trails (including the renowned GR 20), and, closer to the hotel, various activity centers such as equestrian centers, tree-climbing courses, mountain bike rentals, canyoning, boat excursions (departing from Porto-Vecchio and Pinarello, depending on the season), sailing and diving schools, as well as boat rentals (with the possibility of mooring rentals through the Sainte-Lucie de Porto-Vecchio town hall). All these opportunities will make for an exciting and unforgettable vacation!
