A Pasturella

A village restaurant with a few rooms in Monticello above L'Ile-Rousse, with a terrace view of the gulf.

Why people love it

• The restaurant. Most reviews are from diners. They praise the lamb shank, sea bass, octopus and the floating island dessert.
• The terrace. Guests describe a terrace with a view over the village and the gulf.
• Staff. Reviewers call the staff warm, attentive and professional.
• Quiet village. One overnight couple describes Monticello as a quiet, pleasant village, with a gulf view from the room.

Why they come back

"After several stays at the establishment, we are still as satisfied as on the first day."

The worst thing guests say

Most reviews are from restaurant and bar visitors, who complained about slow service (2021), an unfriendly waiter (2019) and the value of the menu (2013 to 2020). Among overnight guests, one in September 2026 found the room rustic with dated plumbing, one in August 2024 had a complaint about the bed, and one in 2022 mentioned cleaning, parking and the refrigerator. Only a handful of overnight reviews were found.

Insider tips

• Book dinner on the terrace for the view.
• Check the room type before booking, as one guest found the room rustic with dated plumbing.
• Expect Corsican prices; one guest called them normal for the island.
