You are looking for a hotel in Propriano. Casa Mare e Macchia is a guesthouse: two suites, and your hosts, Andrée and chef Alessandro Palmieri, who welcome you into their home. You will find much of what you expect from a hotel, from breakfast to dinner on site. The rest is different, and it is worth knowing before you book.
What you will find, as in a hotel
The house itself speaks of “hotel service”. For suite guests, it includes:
- breakfast: a buffet you choose from a menu, served from 8am to 10.30am in the garden or in the large open kitchen, with a gluten-free option, at €25 per person;
- daily housekeeping, included;
- the concierge service, included: restaurants, coves, boat trips, in French, English or Italian;
- the pool bar: the Pool Lounge, every day from 10.30am to 8pm, from coffee to cocktails;
- dinner on site: L'Atelier des Sens, the chef's table on the ground floor, at 8pm, by reservation;
- massages, on site, from €80;
- comfort: air conditioning, soundproofed rooms, Wi-Fi, free private parking.
And the infinity pool, heated, with salt water, open all year, with sun loungers and towels. It is described in detail on our pool page. Everything else is on the page about the house's services.
The location, the surroundings, the kindness of the owners, the freshness and flavour of the breakfasts.Annick · Booking
Two suites, and your hosts
The house has the two suites, Luna and Nina, 30 m² each, for two people, with a queen bed, a walk-in shower and a dressing room. Luna is level with the pool, Nina has its large private terrace on the top floor.
Andrée and Alessandro built this house to open it to a few guests, and they answer you themselves, every day. You are talking to people who know the coves and the restaurants of the gulf.
Fantastic location with views over the pool and the sea. Andrée gave us good advice about the area.Petra · Booking
What is different
A few house rules differ from those of a hotel. Best to know them:
- two nights minimum: the house is not suited to a one-night stopover. You can, however, book up to the day before;
- two people per suite, with no extra bed or family room;
- children from the age of 12;
- no pets;
- arrival from 4pm to 11pm, letting us know your time in advance;
- departure before 10am, or before 11am in the Luna Suite;
- no parties as part of a B&B stay.
Who the house is for
It will suit you if you are coming as a couple, for at least two nights, and if you want a pool, dinner on site and advice about the area.
It will not suit you for one night on the road, with children under 12, with a pet, or for more than four people.
For four, the whole villa can be rented: the two suites, the living room, the kitchen and the pool to yourselves. The conditions for renting the villa are on a separate page.
