At the southern tip of Corsica, between the sea and the mountains, lies an immense estate in the heart of a valley carved by the Ortolo River. Its name is Murtoli, a secret destination whispered about by those in the know. This unique setting has a poetic air, with two thousand hectares of completely wild brush-covered terrain where flora and fauna have been left to thrive untouched.
The Murtoli Estate offers many inviting coves and an endless white sand beach that stretches over a dozen kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, a true paradise.
An Exceptional Hunting Ground
The Ortolo Estate offers an exceptional hunting ground boasting two thousand hectares of well-preserved ecosystem with a widely varying landscape featuring mountains, forests and brush interspersed with prairies and swampland. Some fields are farmed and sown with grain, providing welcome feed for wild game, and the olive groves are kept invitingly free of undergrowth.
Here, visitors can hunt alone or accompanied by the game keeper Jean-Louis and his team. Although the estate provides dogs, shotguns and rifles, there is also a kennel to accommodate our canine guests.
The Estate welcomes visitors for the hunting season, approximately six months of the year from September to the end of February. Wild boar is the big game here and is hunted in the traditional beating method, with a pack of hounds and beaters, or from a hide early in the season.
Small game, like partridge, pheasant and hare live on the grounds, which are also a choice landing spot for migratory birds such as thrush, woodcock, doves and ducks, depending on the season.
Fishing for the Most Avid Sportsman
At the Murtoli Estate, fishermen can also pursue their passion, with fishing opportunities many sportsmen only dream of. In May and June, coastal net fishing is offered for tuna, such as amberjack, leerfish and “domti.”
Those who prefer line fishing can catch sizable “pajots,” sargo bream and sand steenbras, which can be grilled for a tasty meal, or like “dentis” are used as bait for deeper sea fishing. On the coast, there are spear fishing or surf casting excursions for catching sea bream or sea bass.
In August, September and October, join us for the big game fishing season, with Captain Henri and his 31-foot fully equipped fishing boat, for deep sea fishing allowed only at competition time and for deep sea net fishing to bring in the largest catches …
