Scala Di l'Ortu: Sud Hôtel's green haven

Explore our initiatives

At Sud Hôtel, sustainability is a daily commitment. As proud and active members of the Rispettu hotel initiative, we have reimagined our property to reduce our environmental footprint while offering you an exceptional setting. Discover our suspended green space, a true symbol of our eco-friendly ethos and our love for the Corsican land.

In May 2017, the bold idea of transforming a part of our property into a botanical sanctuary was brought to life. Today, Scala Di l'Ortu stands as a true peaceful retreat, far from the hustle and bustle of the town. Strolling along the wooden decking of this Bastia rooftop, our guests discover a light-filled space where modern design blends with lush nature. Shaded by cascading flowers and surrounded by verdant foliage, the mineral gives way to the botanical. The atmosphere is intentionally "zen", designed as a bubble of serenity perfect for unwinding from the very first moments of your stay.

Well beyond aesthetics and comfort, this urban garden in Corsica carries a profound environmental mission. Guided by our desire to take concrete action for our ecosystem, we have forged a valuable partnership with the local association "Fiore di Murza". Together, we actively work on the reintroduction and preservation of biodiversity in an urban environment. By providing a natural haven for pollinators right in the heart of the hotel's architecture, our suspended terrace proves that modern hospitality can coexist harmoniously with the living world. It is this delicate, soothing and precious balance that we invite you to come and admire, comfortably seated in this leafy sanctuary.

The 3 pillars of Scala Di l'Ortu

Heritage & botanical trail

Wander through our garden and enjoy a unique botanical trail, translated into three languages: Corsican, French, and English. This educational space highlights the island's endemic plant heritage, alongside ornamental plants, to raise awareness across all generations about the preservation of our local flora.

Zero-mile ingredients & Gastronomy

Our environmental commitment extends right to your plate! The productive aspect of our organic kitchen garden is at the heart of our culinary offering. The aromatic herbs and seasonal vegetables harvested on our rooftop supply the kitchens of our restaurant, "La Cuisine du Sud", directly, guaranteeing absolute freshness.

A space for living, art, and sharing

This suspended space is also a hub for connection. Here, we host presentations of innovative projects, ancestral craftsmanship, and art exhibitions. It is also within this unique setting, gathered around a central table, that our sensory tasting workshops are held to discover the island's wines.
