Best solution for Propriano location. Calm, on the beach, diving from the room in hte water nearly . The young woman at the reception, a pity we did not rememeber the name (1st of June at 7 pm) was just super customer oriented, kind, precise, professional, passionate. This double the good feeling in the hotel immediately. Compliments. Also the price, dinner and breeakfast included, is competive and appreciated. One negative comment: very few choice about main dish at dinner for vegetarians and vegans.

Very nice services in the heart of Southern Corsica. We stayed there for 5 days, to celebrate an anniversary of meeting. We appreciated the cleanliness, the breathtaking view from the room, the quality of the half-board menus. The head chef comes to each table to make sure everything is going well. He gives recipes. Don’t hesitate to ask him for the Canistrellis recipe!! We also appreciated the service of the waitresses, their sympathy as well as the availability of the reception. A young bartender makes quality mojitos with a smile all the time. The beach at the foot of the hotel is very pleasant. The kindness, friendliness and quality of service are very appreciable. We recommend ! Claudine and Gilles of Aix en Provence

Does the site seem exceptional to you? He is. The sea, its shades of blue and its clarity, the hotel located on the edge of the beach, a view that we never tire of... And then, for those who are curious about the sea and mountain landscapes of Corsica, or its history, there is something to do from Propriano (well, OK, you have to have a car, and like the bends, but no need to convince yourself that it's worth the trip!).
Quality hotel (it's not a club). Pleasant and well-maintained exteriors and common areas (reception, restaurant and bar rooms and terraces, solarium terrace and shower on the beach, etc.).
Impeccable room (we chose a "classic - 2 people - breathtaking view - terrace - air-conditioned" room: quite spacious and modern, storage, large enough shower, TV and small desk, a small refrigerator, quality bedding, a beautiful terrace well equipped (small living room + 2 deckchairs + large parasol, everything is there and...this view!) Ideal conditions, and it is possible that other less well-placed rooms do not offer quite the same. “Wow!” effect. The room is cleaned and the bed made again every day, the bathroom linen changed on request. Impeccable service.
As for the welcome we received, the quality of service and the behavior of all the staff: kindness, availability and efficiency. Nothing to say. Yes, maybe “congratulations, and thank you!”
This is true at reception, where people are courteous, attentive, and willing to give good advice. This is true of the intervention of a versatile agent, constantly at work for the maintenance of the hotel and its surroundings, and also responsive to provide the little service that goes well. This is true of the Chef and all the cooks who welcome you to the restaurant: meals in the form of cold and hot buffets, it's good and there is a choice, fresh water and wine are included, nothing is missing nor for breakfast (no, at breakfast, they don't offer wine! But there is coffee, and all other useful drinks). This is finally true of the service in the restaurant where Angélique, José and their "brigade" did not lack efficiency, but also friendliness, kindness and often humor: pleasant moments, thank you.
You will have understood that we were much more than "rather satisfied" with our 2-week stay and even... that we would have liked to have a little more!

We spent 1 week at Belambra Arena Bianca in Propriano from 09/09 to 09/16/2023, and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful room facing the sea, but we were a group of 48 people and unfortunately we We were not all housed in the same boat, in fact some of our group were allocated rooms that were really very small and not very comfortable. In addition, you should know that the hotel is not suitable for people with reduced mobility, in fact there are many steps everywhere and even to take the elevator you will have to go through stairs. Welcome: Nice, with a welcome drink but we would have liked more practical details and the facilities of the hotel rather than offering boat excursions and massages up front Situation: the hotel is very well located, facing the sea, feet in the water, a beautiful beach, a few minutes from the town of Propriano and its port and very close to beautiful walks. Restorations: Really average, there is a choice but it is not always well cooked, nor good for that matter and also not hot, what's more and especially at breakfast something is regularly missing, there is no more fruit, more napkins, more croissants etc. etc. And then these damn coffee machines which are horribly slow, they don't work (you have to press the button 3 times), they are heating up (you have to wait), they are broken, etc. The result is sometimes 20 minutes to get a coffee, queues of more than 10 people in front of these damn devices, so much so that I went without coffee in the morning. The restaurant staff are pleasant and friendly, but not all of them are very motivated. Finally, we had a good time anyway (fortunately we had a nice room), the staff is pleasant, the elevator is very small (4 people) and extremely slow, there are several deckchairs facing the sea (in the hotel spaces), a bar without customers because of the high price of drinks. We liked: Our room and its beautiful view, the friendly staff, the location, the beach. We would have preferred: Better food, a bar with reasonable prices rather than a bar with no customers and a bored bartender.

Located about a 10-minute walk outside Propriano centre with its numerous seaside restaurants and shops with direct access to the beach. The ageing rooms do not differ in size and equipment. However, you can choose between rooms with sea views, rooms with direct beach access and rooms with or without balcony. Since the room and bathroom are quite small, rooms with balcony are recommended. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, two cupboards and refrigerator. The TV receives 3 German-language channels. The breakfast and dinner buffet is surprisingly generous for the 3-star hotel and quite good in quality. Also we were very positively surprised by the overall cleanliness and can recommend the hotel.

9th year that we spend our two weeks of vacation at the Arena Bianca. What more can I say than other years?? That the hotel is ideally located, that the view over the Gulf of Valinco is extraordinary, that the sunset on the bar terrace is breathtaking, that is the simple truth... And what about the whole team and Agnès the director? It's simple: it's 10/10. Reception, kitchen, bar, without forgetting the maids and maintenance: kindness, friendliness, welcome, professionalism, little touches, everything is there to make you have a dream stay We are pampered :)) In short, we can't wait to return there for the 10th time next year...
Only one downside: it is Belambra's decision to have canceled its activities in the group's hotels!! The aperitif games and other lively evenings have disappeared, and of course we, like all the regulars, were presented with a fait accompli without having been warned when booking... Money saving? when we see the drop in attendance at the bar we can legitimately ask ourselves the question of the merits of this decision...

Surprising at first glance when we are used to Belambra to discover a hotel and not a club, big positive point there are fewer of us and it is much quieter The welcome is excellent, special dedication to Angélique, considerate, very attentive, a gem and the cuisine is very good, which is quite rare at Belambra Congratulations to the chef for his homemade dishes, his recipes that he likes to share and the quality of the service The dining terrace is exceptional for its view Direct access to the beach but which from my point of view is far from being the most beautiful on the site and above all a lot of rocks Nice room quite large but above all, take the air conditioning, in high heat there is only a ceiling fan and it is suffocating No evening, it's not festive even at the bar even if the staff is very nice they are quickly overwhelmed We really enjoyed the calm in Propriano before heading the following week to the crowds of the Lozari club, we will come back!

Pension well located with its own beach. Very charming and considerate staff. At reception, they take into account individual wishes, with possible additional recommendations. It's a Club Inn because during our stay, entire Group Trips occupied the Inn, especially the buffet. In some areas, therefore, savings are being made. As the Pension has already aged a little, it is felt for example in the fact that there are no additional power outlets, etc. This is not important, but it is desirable in the era of the mobile phone, etc. We would give the Pension a Rating of 8 out of 10 and recommend it because of its good location.

A dream week in Propriano I would like to point out that we are retired and that we came in May. We loved the location of the hotel: on one side the town is 10 minutes away on foot and on the other a path along the coast where you discover a multitude of coves (slightly “rough” sand!) What may displease (but not us): no swimming pool, no entertainment Lots of choice for meals with industrial but also small dishes made by the chef. Exceptional team: smiling, friendly and caring Make the right choices when booking: with or without balcony, sea view or parking view We paid a little more but the sunset from the balcony was exceptional

Dream stay in a clean, spacious, bright establishment, located on a beautiful beach. The staff is also smiling, dedicated and very attentive. On the catering side, there is choice and quality. The property is close to the city centre and can be reached in 10 minutes on foot.

Nous avions une chambre avec vue sur mer au 2e étage, bâtiment avec le restaurant. La route ne nous a absolument pas dérangés. Par contre, comme il n’y avait pas d’airco, nous laissions la porte fenêtre de la terrasse ouverte et entendions le bruit de la mer.cela ne nous a pas dérangés non plus mais pourrait déranger certaines personnes. En ce qui concerne le restaurant, il y avait des des tables de 2 personnes. Nous avons toujours profité de la terrasse très agréable face à la mer.
Il y avait des transats sur la terrasse au-dessus de la plage mais aucun sur la plage car elle est publique.
Selon nous, un hôtel très calme à tous niveaux et très agréable au niveau de la vue depuis la chambre et depuis la terrasse du restaurant.
There are more places to choose from in the Propriano area.
