Huw's View

Sofitel Golfe d'Ajaccio Thalassa Sea & Spa stands in a panoramic position in the Gulf of Ajaccio. 

Suitable for both couples and families, this hotel benefits from stunning sea views which can also be enjoyed from the guest rooms, restaurant, pool and bar terraces. 

I can highly recommend the MyBed™ concept which are very comfortable! 

Sofitel offers guests excellent service and a wide variety of activities particularly for those who are looking for watersports (extra cost). 

This hotel is well situated for both the airport (which is not intrusive) and to visit Ajaccio, the capital city of Corsica. 

Car hire recommended to see more of the local area.

The Lounge Bar offers drinks and snacks throughout the day and evening and has wonderful al fresco terraces right next to the water, a unique place to relax and admire the amazing views and sunsets. On Wednesday and Friday evenings in high season there is live music in the bar.

Situated on a terrace surrounded by the sea, is a stunning heated (1st April-31st October) seawater swimming pool with adjacent deck with sun loungers and parasols. There is also a small beach with sun loungers for guests. The hotel also has a fitness centre and tennis court.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
