B&B with the chef's table in Southern Corsica: sleep upstairs, dine at the chef's
In Propriano, Casa Mare e Macchia is a guesthouse upstairs and a gourmet table downstairs. Upstairs, two suites. On the ground floor, L'Atelier des Sens, chef Alessandro Palmieri's table. In the evening, you come down for dinner at 8pm, and go back up to bed without taking the car.
A host's table, run by a chef
L'Atelier des Sens is the house's host table, on the ground floor, and the host who cooks is a chef. L'Atelier has just one long table, facing the kitchen. Guests come as two or as twelve, and share the same table, on the same evening, each with their own moment.
The chef composes every plate in front of his guests, with cooking that travels between Corsica and Italy as the market dictates. Menus are five or seven courses, and wine pairing is offered as an option.
The table is open to everyone, in the evening, by reservation. It also welcomes those staying elsewhere. If you are staying in a suite, you only have to come downstairs.
The chef, from lunch to dinner
For suite guests, the chef's cooking begins before dinner. The Pool Lounge, by the pool, serves a light menu from noon to 6pm, with the chef's suggestions. From 6pm to 8pm, the aperitif arrives with boards of Corsican charcuterie and cheeses, and the chef's small creations. The house favours the flavours of the island and local producers.
Breakfast is chosen from a menu, as an option at €25 per person: a buffet served until 10.30am, in the garden facing the mountains or in the open kitchen, with a gluten-free option.
Breakfast is prepared every day with fresh produce […] You can choose what you'd like from a menu.Ines · Booking
The evenings and the menus
In autumn 2026, the table opens on three evenings. On Mondays and Tuesdays, it is the five-course discovery menu, at €55. On Saturdays, the seven-course Atelier des Sens menu, at €95. These evenings change with the season: check them on the L'Atelier des Sens page before setting your dates, so that your stay falls on an opening evening. We have described an evening at L'Atelier des Sens, menu by menu.
Magnificent, immaculate and with an unbeatable view. Make sure you book one of their gourmet dinners.Lana · Airbnb
Your room, upstairs
Upstairs, the two suites measure 30 m² each, for two people, with a queen bed and a walk-in shower. Luna lives level with the pool, Nina occupies the top floor with its large private terrace. Stays are two nights minimum: for a weekend for two, that is just right.
With the whole villa, you have your own kitchen, and dinner is not included. The long table can still be booked, as for any other guest. You can also take it for yourselves alone, or ask the chef to come up and cook at the villa.
A cooking class with the chef
A B&B stay with the chef's table can also take you into the kitchen. L'Atelier offers classes: you work at the counter, alongside the chef. Dates, length and price are not published: ask L'Atelier, on 06 26 76 32 35.
