Destination guide

Enjoy a French and Italian cultural blend in Corsica villas

Corsica is a Mediterranean island with crystal-clear blue waters and beautiful mountainous landscapes that are perfect for holiday villas in France. With a distinct blend of French and Italian culture, Corsica is a delight for foodies who can enjoy the local cuisine in the quaint, stylish coastal towns. These towns are also great spots for beachgoers to enjoy a cold drink and the warm sun while listening to the tranquil sounds of the waves rolling onto the shore. On top of that, you can hike the craggy peaks as well.

Things to do

Attractions you have to see in Corsica

There are plenty of Corsica holiday rentals on the menu in the town of Ajaccio, which also happens to be one of the top attractions on the island. It's made up of a colourful array of ice-cream-hued mansions and babbling fountains, and it's home to the place where a certain Napoleon was born – check out the Maison Bonaparte. Other villas speckle the hills around Bonifacio, where it's easy to get lost in the labyrinthine lanes that wiggle around the soaring fortress. Nature lovers might prefer to hop on a yacht to get the full broadside views of the Gulf of Porto. It's a sweeping bay and UNESCO site that comes with sinewy cliffs of rust-coloured stone. After all that, the French-Italian medley of cafes and towers at Bastia is a great way to finish things off.

Beaches

Quality beaches near Corsica holiday rentals

Outside of its castle-topped medieval towns and rugged countryside, Corsica has beaches that could fill the pages of any travel brochure:

Calvi Beach is blessed with super-clear water and proximity to the buzzing bars of Calvi itself
Palombaggia Beach shimmers with cotton-white sands – it's a favourite with those staying in Corsica holiday rentals in Porto-Vecchio
The Pinarello Beach is another jewel near Porto-Vecchio, known for its warm, shallow waters, great for swimmers
If you like your beaches untamed and untrodden, Ostriconi Beach is a great option – you'll need a car, though
The rock-shrouded sands of Cupabia Beach are great for sunbathers who like to top up the tan while enjoying a view

How to get around

How to get around Corsica

Corsica's mountainous countryside makes it hard for trains and buses to pierce anywhere other than the coast. However, the famous narrow-gauge track, the Chemins de Fer de la Corse, has managed just that. It's a wonderful way to travel around the island – you never know what vista of rock-hewn gorges or sparkling seas will appear next. The easiest way to get to Corsica villa rentals anywhere other than the main towns is surely by car. The roads are generally good, but can twist and turn a little as they climb higher and deeper into the peaks.

Food & drink

Foods you should sample when staying in Corsica

Corsica's place in the middle of the Med has helped it to nurture a unique culinary heritage. Seafood, naturally, takes centre stage, but there's also a curious interplay between Italian, French and Spanish flavours. Chestnuts are an iconic product of the isle. You'll see groves of hardy chestnut trees sweeping down the mountains all over the place, and chestnuts worked into cheeses and polenta dishes. The French influence comes through on the charcuterie plates, which fuse salty hams with boudin sausages and pungent cheeses made in Corsica's mountain towns. To sample fish, order a seafood soup by a marina or get some fried salt cod – both are delicacies.
