It may be the closest Mediterranean island to the UK, but Corsica remains one of the region's wild and unspoiled gems. It’s perfect for families who want to combine seaside fun with a splash of adventure – whether it’s horse riding in the mountains or trying out a new watersport. Corsican Places has the island covered – its villas and apartments are great value for families. 
Recommended tour operator: Corsican Places
Corsican Places says
The UK’s leading specialist for holidays to Corsica, we offer more hotels and self-catering properties on the island than any other tour operator. We also offer a wide range of flights to Corsica.
Corsica is less than two hours’ flying time from most UK airports and boasts a fascinating mix of French and Italian influences, stunning scenery and gently shelving sandy beaches, perfect for families.
Our wide range of accommodation includes hotels, villas, apartments and residences – the latter are reasonably-priced apartments and villas with a shared pool, ideal for families who want the freedom of self-catering together with the chance for the children to play with others.
All swimming pools are securely fenced, covered or alarmed (in line with French regulations). Foldable highchairs and travel cots (excluding cot linen) are provided free of charge in our self-catering properties.
Away from the beaches, activities include coastal train rides on the rattling U Trinighellu train, boat rides and donkey rides for younger children plus mountain biking, horse riding and a variety of watersports for teenagers. The A Cupulatta is Europe’s largest tortoise sanctuary, just to the north of Ajaccio; you can see over 150 different species of tortoise and turtle.
Flights are available to Calvi, Bastia, Figari and Ajaccio – in 2012, Corsican Places will also charter its own aircraft into Calvi from Stansted and Manchester and from Heathrow to Figari in the south.
We also offer tailor-made and touring itineraries, as well as twin-centre holidays with sister company, Sardinian Places.
