The 70-room, upper-middle-range Residence Santa Giulia Palace offers apartment and suite rentals off the coast of beautiful Porto Vecchio. Rooms vary with either fresh or old-fashioned decor, but all have living rooms, dining areas, and stocked kitchens with ovens and washing machines. Housecleaning costs extra though. On-site facilities are limited given the self-catering setups, but there are three gorgeous pools and hiking trails through the natural terrain past the buildings. There are also a breakfast buffet available for purchase and free Wi-Fi everywhere in the hotel. For a more traditional hotel experience, consider Hotel Costa Salina, a quiet waterfront property near the city harbor. 

The mid-range Hotel Costa Salina is a modern hotel that’s located within walking distance of Porto-Vecchio’s city center, harbor, and ferry terminal. It’s only a couple of minutes from restaurants and nightlife, yet it’s a quiet and relaxed hotel with lovely waterfront views. Its outdoor pool is large and has a bar that serves food and drinks in the summer. A daily breakfast buffet is also available for a fee, but there's no full restaurant. The 64 guest rooms are bright, clean, and spacious, with private balconies/patios, minibars, and nice tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers. Competitive rates make it a solid choice for vacationing couples and families, but a nearby option with comparable if not better rates is the mid-range Les Hauts de Porto-Vecchio.
