Miramar Boutique Hotel

Terracotta tiled floors, aged wood doors and whitewashed walls characteristic of traditional Mediterranean buildings feature at the Grand Hotel Miramar, which sits among tropical gardens overlooking the Gulf of Valinco. The 28 air-conditioned guestrooms feature typically airy and simple Mediterranean-style decor with fabrics in soft pastel colours and sea-facing balconies. All include satellite television, direct-dial telephones, minibars and bathrooms with hair dryers.

Guests can soak up the Mediterranean sunshine beside the outdoor swimming pool or relax in the shade of the terrace with a cool drink from the poolside bar. Contemporary Mediterranean cuisine made from fresh local produce is served at lunch and dinner in the restaurant or under the shady, vine leaf canopy of the terrace, with views of the Gulf, while tapas snacks are served alongside drinks and cocktails in the bar. Those preferring to eat and drink in the privacy of their rooms can order up dishes from the restaurant menu thanks to room service and the health conscious can take advantage of fitness equipment then unwind in the sauna. The cool lobby lounge is the place to browse the daily papers and guests can check their emails during their stay thanks to Internet access via a computer terminal. Helpful staff can provide tour information and help with reservations and those with cars can make use of private secure parking. The hotel is within two kilometres of Propriano centre and within three kilometres of many sandy beaches, as well as hiking, biking and horse riding trails. Corsica's main airport at Ajaccio is 60 kilometres and about a 90-minute journey away.
