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