Dating back to the 18th century, it belonged to a Corsican family who left to make their fortune in Indochina at the beginning of the 20th century. Preserving traces of this distant orient, like an invitation to travel and daydream, the atmosphere of the house speaks to us of the past with elegance. Original cement tiles, antique furniture, objects and paintings inhabit every room in the house, giving it a unique cachet. Zilia is an authentic Corsican village where the church bells mark the hours of the day and night. It's here, in my home village, on the square I knew as a child, buzzing with life and where too many shutters had gradually closed, that Casa Maestracci, named after the family who once lived there, is preparing to live again as a travel home, welcoming guests from all over the world. If you love old-world charm and places that tell a story, or if you're curious about Corsican culture and its terroir, Casa Maestracci will welcome you with generosity, in a tradition where hospitality is sacred. ## Home The history of Casa Maestracci : The house is named after the family who lived there before we bought it. It thus bears the traces of successive generations of its inhabitants. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Maestracci family, like many Corsicans, went into exile in Indochina to make their fortune. They owned a very well-known hotel in Saigon. It has been renovated with care and respect for its identity, so that the modern comforts that have been added do not detract from the historic charm that characterises it. Each of our rooms has a private bathroom or shower room and toilet. Each is equipped with a Queen Size bed and air conditioning. Breakfast is a special time, a chance to wake up gently and taste regional specialities and local produce. It is served on the terrace overlooking the valley or in the dining room, two relaxing areas shared by our guests, depending on their programme for the day. During your stay, we'll make sure you're comfortable in the house. ## Accommodation details - **Owner's payment methods**: Transfert and Paypal - **Connect Holiday Vouchers**: Yes ## The rooms ### ETG1 valley view - **Ranking**: 3 keys - **Capacity**: 2 people - **Beds**: 1 bed - **Bathrooms**: 1 bathroom - **Rate**: From €150 / night - **Rooms**: - **Bedroom**: 1st floor, 25 m² Located on the first floor of the hotel, this elegantly decorated room overlooks the valley.
