LES CABANES DE LUTINA

Nestled deep in the aromatic chestnut forests of Castagniccia, Les Cabanes de Lutina is an enchanting eco-lodge that promises a nature-immersive stay you won’t soon forget. This unique retreat comprises four beautifully crafted wooden cabins, each made with natural, environmentally friendly materials and designed to blend effortlessly into the surrounding Natura 2000 protected landscape of the Corsican Regional Natural Park.

Every cabin at Les Cabanes de Lutina is energy self-sufficient, powered by solar technology, and draws water from a natural mountain spring managed by local residents, embracing a truly eco-responsible ethos for today’s conscious traveler. The cabins offer a peaceful escape with generous indoor space, well-appointed living areas, and outdoor terraces or patios where you can sip morning coffee surrounded by the sounds of the forest.

Your days here begin with breakfast delivered to your cabin at your preferred time — a gentle way to start in total tranquillity. In the evenings, gather around the Table d’hôtes, the guest table that serves fresh Corsican market dishes and regional specialties, paired with selections from an eclectic wine and beer list featuring Corsican labels and world-wide flavors.

Refresh and recharge in the heated outdoor pool — a generous 10 m × 4 m swimming area with free access for guests — where sun, water, and mountain air come together to soothe and invigorate. Massage services are also available by appointment for deeper relaxation under the Catalan sun.

Perfect for couples, adventurers, or anyone craving authentic Corsican charm, Les Cabanes de Lutina offers a rare blend of eco-luxe comfort, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality that will make you wish your stay never ends.

Les Cabanes de Lutina is set in the picturesque village of Poggio-Marinaccio, perched roughly 600 m above sea level in the historic Castagniccia region — a land rich in Corsican culture, mountains, medieval chapels, and pastoral tradition. Just minutes from your cabin, explore charming ancient chapels like Saint-Blaise and Saint-Antoine de Padoue, local lavoirs (traditional washhouses), and scenic village fountains that tell the story of this timeless upland community.

Cultural highlights include wandering local artisan workshops and the Pascal Paoli Museum, where Corsica’s proud heritage and revolutionary spirit come to life. For soothing wellness, the famed Orezza thermal baths are nearby, offering natural mineral water springs used for centuries for relaxation.

Adventure seekers can lace up boots, hop on electric bicycles, or saddle up for guided horseback rides to explore scenic maquis trails leading to crystal-clear natural swimming pools, lush valleys, and dramatic viewpoints. The region also offers access to iconic Corsican landscapes like Restonica Gorge, Asco Valley, and the historic town of Corte, each within roughly an hour’s drive, perfect for day trips into rugged mountain terrain.

Beaches of the Costa Verde and the charming coastal towns of Casinca are around 30 minutes away by car, making it easy to balance forest-framed peace with seaside exploration. The combination of mountain charm and access to sparkling Mediterranean shores makes this location irresistible for travelers seeking diverse Corsican experiences.

Booking and Access: Les Cabanes de Lutina operates seasonally, typically from April - October, so plan your visit during the warm months for full access to amenities like the heated pool and Table d’hôtes. Reservations often require online or bank transfer payment; longer stays over five days may need a 50 % deposit, with the balance due a month before arrival.

Comfort & Inclusions: Your cabin rate includes bed linen, towels, cleaning upon departure, water and electricity, pool access, and even firewood for cabin stoves — a thoughtful touch for cooler evenings. There’s also no need for pets — animals are not permitted, ensuring a serene atmosphere for all guests.

Practical Tips: The site supports multilingual guests, with services available in French, English, and German. While nestled in nature, cabins are accessible by rural roads — comfortable vehicles are recommended. Since it’s a quiet village location, there’s no nightlife immediately onsite, but the Table d’hôtes and local dining options offer excellent evening experiences.

Connectivity & Mobility: Car is essential for exploring wider Corsican attractions, beaches, and mountain regions around you. Local bike rentals and guided excursions are available directly through the property if you prefer to explore without a car.

Extra Experience: You can also book extras like massage services, guided mountain days, and even airport shuttles to and from Bastia Poretta Airport — about a 45-minute drive — making your entire journey from arrival to departure effortless.
