The hotel stands on a small peninsula with sea views on two sides opposite the red rock from which L’Ile Rousse takes its name. Situated at the less developed end of the town, this modern hotel has direct access to a small sandy beach whilst still just a short stroll from the centre of the old town with its excellent array of restaurants, cafés and shops. The hotel provides an extensive buffet breakfast and should you feel the need, light bites are served by the swimming pool at lunch time. The air-conditioned rooms all have balconies or patio and are equipped to a good standard with satellite television, hairdryer, minibar and safe. Santa Maria is a family run, popular hotel with close access to the activities and amenities L’Ile Rousse has to offer.
