U Santu Petru, Hotel and restaurant in Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda, Corsica, France
U Santu Petru is a hotel and restaurant in the village of Santo-Pietro-di-Tenda, in northern Corsica, close to the Desert of Agriates and the coast. The property has 9 rooms with private bathrooms, a restaurant with a fireplace, a bar, a lounge, and a terrace looking out over the surrounding hills.
The Volelli family started out as farmers in the area before opening their first restaurant in the nearby village of Casta in 1987. Over time, they grew the business into the hotel and restaurant that exists today.
U Santu Petru is run by the Volelli family, who have passed down their cooking traditions over generations. The menu reflects local Corsican habits, with dishes built around cured meats, wild boar, and cheeses from the island.
The restaurant is open daily from May to September, and the hotel is best reached by car, with parking available on site. For trips to Saleccia beach or through the Desert of Agriates, the staff can point you toward local tours by boat or 4x4.
The Volelli family's roots in farming, rather than cooking, shaped their approach to sourcing food, and that connection to the land is still visible in what ends up on the plate. The restaurant can also host small private events such as birthdays and baptisms, making it a gathering place beyond simple dining.
