About us

This small boutique hotel first came to life in the imagination of the lady of the house and her husband, Anne and Jean François Reydet-Baccelli. Anne is from Lama and Jean-François comes from Haute-Savoie, south-eastern France.
Lovers of their village and of the region, they decided to build on a steep plot of family a set of 3 “Pagliaghji”. “Pagliaghji” are stone straw-houses with rooftop terraces and basins carved in the rock to keep cool during the hot season.
This project was conducted by the architect Hervé Guirlanda and the work began in 2004 with the creation of an access road. It was a challenging project and required much patience to shape the rock and be able to settle up there.
Anne, who took care of the interior design and Jean-François of construction work, finally completed the work in 2006 and opened their doors for business.
With their love for creating, building, and telling stories, Case Latine has grown and expanded over the years to become the magical place that it is today.

Location

The village of Lama is located in the north of Corsica, halfway between the historic city of Corte and the small seaside resort of Île-Rousse.
This medieval village at the gates of the Balagne region overlooks the valley of the Ostriconi spreading down to the shores of the Désert des Agriates.
To get there leave the T 30 road as soon as you see the sign indicating LAMA. A small and winding road will then lead you to the heart of the village in front of the San Lorenzu Church.
From there, make a right onto the road that goes to the top of the village until you reach the car park. A discreet sign will then indicate the entrance and reception desk of the Hotel.
Continue a few more meters down the narrow road until you reach the reception, restaurant and the dwellings, at 600 meters above sea level.
From the very moment you arrive, you’ll be amazed by our location!
