Hotel Centre Nautique

We recommend the address to couples and families who want Bonifacio without sacrificing comfort, with children who can handle the port noise (nighttime animations in summer). It is a hotel for sailors, divers, sea excursion enthusiasts who prefer to sleep on the quay rather than in the upper town. Travellers seeking absolute calm will choose countryside addresses, here we live to the rhythm of the port.

The building occupies a frontal position on the North quay, contemporary architecture from the 2000s without flourish. White facade, large bay windows, private terraces for some rooms. Sober interior, beige and blue tones, functional furniture without particular design signature. The scale remains modest, around thirty rooms maximum, which preserves a certain intimacy despite the tourist location.

The hotel restaurant focuses on local catch, menu that changes according to the morning arrivals. We tasted the grilled langoustine and the sea bass in salt crust, controlled cooking, classic sides. Breakfast is taken on the terrace facing the boats, correct continental buffet without extravagance. Room service available until 22h, reduced menu but efficient for late beach returns.

The hotel stands on the North quay of the port of Bonifacio, five minutes on foot from the upper old town and the Roi d'Aragon steps. Departures for the Lavezzi islands and Sardinia leave 50 metres away, convenient for morning excursions. Restaurants and bars of the port in immediate proximity, animation guaranteed from June to September. Figari airport 25 kilometres away, panoramic but winding route, allow 35 minutes. The neighbourhood lives to the tourist rhythm, relative calm off-season, effervescence in summer until midnight.
