The Hotel Miramar has rather lost the shine of a modern 4 star hotel, but it suited our needs perfectly. The staff were all exceptionally kind and friendly, the food was excellent both at breakfast and dinner, and the access to the beach extremely easy. The staff even provided beach towels and a parasol for us to take. Snorkelling in the bay was lovely and the swimming pool, whilst inviting, was therefore never needed.
The room was spacious and generally well appointed, although in need of modernising. The road between Propriano and Ajaccio is too close for real peace, but not overly-intrusive. It's also a good spot from which to explore the Neolithic ruins, as well as the local resort, though you need a car.
Any drawbacks? As one other reviewer commented, it's shabby chic, and therefore somewhat over-priced, but still very comfortable.

I had reserved rooms with baths 4 months in advance for me and my co-travelers for the month of May. We arrived at 9pm, the receptionist could not find the keys for the rooms. When he found them we realized that all the rooms had showers. When I entered my room, an horrible strong odor of cigar took me to the throat. No other room was available. I woke up with a terrible headache and no voice, since I could not let the window open, because the noise of the traffic on the road below was so loud. Until 2 a.m, the restaurant accross the road had a 'special animation" with loud speakers playing music and people clapping and screaming. You just wonder where some of these hotels get their stars!
Go to Corsica, it is one of the most wonderful place on earth, but be very discerning, get information, ask around, or go with an escorted tour.

We've been to the hotel two years running in June. Several of the same employees were there which was nice. The standard of the restaurant and the level of service are excellent and easily the best around.
Lunchtime by the pool is elegant yet relaxing as shorts are perfectly acceptable. Breakfast on a terrace overlooking the sea or in the shady garden is a lovely start to the day. Propriano is a short drive away although the food at the hotel is so nice and the alternatives so average that you quickly realise staying at the hotel for dinner is probably best. All the employees are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The downside? The Suites are the best rooms although even they are not spacious. The standard bedrooms are below average and some only have a shower, which means that we thought they were overpriced. The decor in general could do with upgrading it does look a bit dated in places. Although it is located on the main road in the area the noise is not bothersome you just don't feel as though you are away from it all in the same way as if the hotel was in the middle of a few acres in the countryside. Beaches within 20mins drive are quiet and uncommercial. Supermarket on the edge of town is fantastic for daily picnics.
