The classification, an official guarantee of quality

Since August 2, 2010, the classification of 1 to 5 stars of the Meublés de Tourisme is subject to new standards at national level.

Classification is not compulsory for renting, but it is strongly recommended as it has several advantages:

• A tax allowance of 71% instead of 50%.

• A commitment to the quality of your accommodation for your customers (from 1 to 5 stars), 

• A Taxe de Séjour adapted to your accommodation

• A free publication on the website of the Corsican Tourist Agency,

• A validity of 5 years attributed in Corsica by the President of the Executive Council of Corsica;

Reminder of the legal context :

The law n° 2009-888 of 22 July 2009, on the development and modernisation of tourist services and the decrees n° 2009-1652 of 23 December 2009 implementing the law, redefined the procedure for classifying tourist accommodation.

The decree of 2 August 2010 and the decree of 7 May 2012 complete this system and set the standards and procedure for the classification of furnished tourist accommodation with the classification reference system for furnished tourist accommodation. On 24 June 2010, the Corsican Assembly adopted the procedures for the classification of tourist facilities. The final decision is taken by the President of the Executive Council of Corsica, who replaces the Prefect in establishing the classification (or downgrading) decision by decree after the Corsican Tourist Agency has checked the completeness of the file.

What is a Meublé de Tourisme?

Furnished tourist accommodation is a villa, flat or studio that is rented out to visitors who stay for a day, a week or a month and do not take up residence there.

Whether classified or not, the furnished accommodation must be declared to the town hall.
