Boutique hotel in Sartène

In the 80s, a new dream arrived to breathe life back into Le Hameau de Saparale – that of Philippe Farinelli. Since he was a child, he adventured through the ruins of the estate, hoping to one day see this historic site reborn. Little by little, this dream became an obsession and a real passion that drove him to undergo training and become a winegrower, then an oenologist. His approach, marked by an uncompromising quest for quality, a strong identity and wines of a rare finesse, quickly made his winery a real unmissable on the island, with his vintages regularly selling out. With the unfailing support of his wife Julie, Philippe saw his business prosper. On the back of this success, the couple continued and persevered in their projects to restore the estate, their dream from the outset. Since 2007, Le Hameau de Saparale has been gradually transformed into a charming boutique hotel: the manor house, the sheepfolds, the restaurant, the wine cellars, as well as the olive grove and the vines, have all been painstakingly restored, returning the estate to all its former glory.

Thanks to its 'little village' configuration, this boutique hotel unfolds like a living fresco, masterfully blending nature and restored nature. The olive grove and orange orchard release their perfumes, while the granite buildings – patinated by time – rediscover all their majesty, while the former police station, a silent reminder of a bygone era, appears at peace today. All around, you'll find signs of activity and renewal: oak barrels lined up in a row, sparkling vats reflecting the light and the impressive procession of prickly-pear trees that boldly climb the surrounding hillsides. The walls, some marked by the passage of time, recall the history of each stone in a renaissance built day after day.
