“Castel Brando” is an exceptional 19th century Corsican family mansion, quietly nestled away in the picture postcard town of Erbalunga in Cap Corse, a historic site appropriately referred to as ‘Nid des peintres’ or ‘Artists’ nest’, for its secular affinity with many illustrious painters who sourced inspiration from the arresting beauty of its striking position on this island within an island.

A picturesque small fishing harbour, where many villagers’ small boats still moor, this jewel of Corsica proudly preserves its flavour, customs and traditions.

Poised languidly a short distance from the shore is the elegant mansion, with its vibrant, island-coloured guestrooms, wonderfully sunlit and breezy private terraces, several with glorious views of the orangery, others of the surrounding, luxuriant landscape, all thoughtfully appointed with authentic period pieces and furnishings distinguishing the genuine quality and ambience of its original design.

Meandering through its graceful couloirs, appreciative guests linger into the warm, inviting library, browsing at their leisure while discreet staff courteously serves aromatic teas, homemade cakes and fanciful delicacies or perhaps happen upon the Cigar Lounge with its distinctive selection of fine imported cigars to cap off the evening in luxury.
