Corsica, the perfect island

David & Mark's verdict

It's arguably the most gorgeous island in the Mediterranean, with perfect beaches and an interior dotted with medieval hilltowns, forests and the famous scented maquis. Yet compared to islands such as Mallorca, Corfu and Ibiza, it is curiously overlooked by British visitors. Corsica, in our book, is the Med to perfection, with a thick layer of French polish.

Corsican Places says

It’s a cliché but true to say that Corsica has something for everyone. It is an island of great beauty, with a coastline combining miles of sweeping golden sands, towering cliffs and intimate hidden coves, plus a scented interior of maquis-covered hillsides, thick forested valleys and some genuinely jaw-dropping mountain scenery.

Add to that Corsica’s outstanding food and wine, a culture that is equal parts French and Italian and some excellent accommodation and you have a simply stunning holiday destination.

We have an excellent range of places to stay with villas, apartments, houses and two-star up to four-star hotels right across the island - from the St Florent and La Balagne regions in the north to the Gulfs of the West and L’Extreme Sud regions of the south and west.

If you prefer self-catering, try the stylish Cala di Mare on the Calvi coast or the luxurious Villa Delphine, both with private pools and located in the La Balagne region. The bergerie-style Villa Bicu Rossu in the south has a private pool and beautiful mountain backdrop. Or for something a little more urban, the Le Home Apartments in Calvi are perfect for exploring this stunning Corsican city.

As Corsican Places we pride ourselves on our personal service and in-depth knowledge of the destination. As each of our properties has been hand picked, you can be sure we’ll be able to help you find the perfect place for your holiday in the Corsican sun.
