Restonica Inn in Corte - Hotel Restaurant with Pool
The Auberge de la Restonica is located on a remarkable site on the way up the valley and its eponymous river, very close to the centre of Corte. Semi-gastronomic cuisine with a bar/lounge area, you can also enjoy the restaurant's swimming pool as a guest or as a guest in one of the auberge's seven air-conditioned rooms.
Hotel-Restaurant in Restonica
On the banks of the river, 5 minutes up the valley from Corte, you'll find the Auberge de la Restonica, a family-run business for four generations. Run by two sisters, Rachel and Emilie Arnol, the establishment was built in the 60s as a holiday home for their great-grandmother, who turned it into a bed and breakfast on her own in winter.
The Auberge is open fromApril to October, 7 days a week, with lunch and dinner service in the restaurant (closed on Mondays), and a welcome tray. In winter, the establishment is open by reservation for events: christenings, weddings, seminars and groups.
Gastronomic restaurant
The Restonica restaurant offers gourmet dishes with a twist on traditional flavours, such as filet de la Restonica, a fillet of beef with ewe's milk cheese deglazed with brandy, or another speciality, Corsican suckling lamb confit.
Rachel and Emilie choose local products from a farm in Corte for the lamb, PDO charcuterie and cheese from the region. Local produce blended with seasonal vegetables passed through the chef's hands for a delicious cuisine.

Bar / Lounge lunchtime from July to August
In addition to the restaurant, the Auberge de la Restonica offers a bar/lounge from 10am to 7pm from July to August.
Restaurant with swimming pool and river
La Restonica
The riverbed was reshaped by the storm of November 2023.
The auberge de la Restonica is in the heart of nature, with its terrace overlooking the swimming pool and the river below, in the hollow of the valley between mountain and forest. An idyllic setting that you can also enjoy from inside through a large bay window.
The swimming pool in the restaurant and at the inn is available to guests on hire of deckchairs. It has a shower and a foot bath. As the pool is not supervised, children are the responsibility of their parents.
Double, triple and family duplex rooms
The hostel has 7 rooms, divided into 3 triple rooms, 3 double rooms and a duplex family room that can accommodate 4 to 6 people, for a total capacity of 21. Following renovation, all rooms were fitted with air conditioning in 2018 and are equipped with Wi-Fi internet connection, bathroom, shower and hairdryer.
Services
As there is little mobile phone coverage, Rachel and Emilie invite you to contact them on the hotel's landline telephone.
Family duplex
The duplex offers a comfortable space, where you'll feel right at home and appreciate the thoughtful decoration.
A small corridor with a large sliding wardrobe leads to the bathroom, with the living room on your right. The two bedrooms can be reached via the staircase in an attic space separated by a curtain, with two double beds.

Remarkable site
This listed site attracts many visitors throughout the summer, who appreciate the coolness of the valley and its river lined with laricio pines. Hiking trails leading to the Melu and Capitellu lakes can be discovered upstream from the valley. These sites are protected in order to preserve the ecosystem that supports endemic species, some of which are unique, particularly in the Restonica gorges.
