The bar is a charming refuge in the heart of the Signoria. It is a cosy cocoon that tells beautiful stories, like the zinc counter, a unique piece of 19th century furniture. The decoration, inspired by old Corsican houses, sets the tone, that of rare moments from another era. The Sinibaldi bar offers a varied menu and delicious nectars from the La Signoria cellar: wines, champagnes, cocktails with or without alcohol, whisky (a large choice), rum, calvados, cognac, liqueurs, eaux de vie, teas from Mariage Frères... In the evening, the terrace is the ideal place to admire the sunset over the Corsican mountains.
