A Mandria di Murtoli is perhaps the most playful member of the French family. Still that characteristic rustic luxury, but with a lighter, more pronounced twist. The rooms are housed in old farm buildings, refreshed but retaining character and fitting details. Meanwhile, plenty is happening behind the scenes as well: the land is carefully maintained and a large portion of what you eat and drink here comes directly from the local soil.

The setup is for long, lazy days. Around the pool, at the bar, or at a table in the Italian restaurant. This is the kind of place where you settle down with a group and then don't have to go anywhere else. If you do want to explore, the rest of the estate lies at your feet. Highlights include the beach table at Table de la Plage and the almost theatrical setting of Table de la Grotte, built among enormous granite rocks. An overnight stay at A Mandria di Murtoli starts from around 300 euros, and that actually feels quite logical here.
