Apartment with fabulous view and convenient location
We stayed in Patrick's apartment for a glorious week in September.
The apartment immediately became a big part of our holiday, being a great space to dine and spend time gazing out over the bay. It had everything you would expect and a few things extra. We cooked a few meals at the apartment but having restaurants on Avenue Napoleon III below was too much a temptation and we did eat out a lot.
You can spend a day or 2 wondering around Propriano, and it was a good base to return to each evening.
We found 2 beach areas in Propriano and we preferred the quieter beaches to the west near Le Lido. L'Oasis bar on the beach did good cocktails.
We recommend mussels at 'U Valincu', outside at 'A Cantaria' and 'Tempa Fa' for charcuterie & wine recommendations.
You must try the ice cream from La Marine under the apartment.
A great little local supermarket was 'LS Du Port' on corner of Ave Napolean III and Rue Des Pucheurs.
You hear the background hustle and bustle distantly below you during the day. I have to say I was concerned it might be noisy late at night, but really it was OK and we slept well. Considering our convenient location and view over the bay, it was nothing.
I had a few questions for the owner over our stay and he did respond quite quickly. However, it was the kind of thing you might expect to see in a guidebook in the apartment (there was none we could find) such as where do we empty our bins (behind the building on Quartier Grosseti) and best places to park a car (Quartier Grosseti or Rue Jean Pandolfi). Perhaps also some local tourism information leaflets.
As it says in the description, the apartment is on the 3rd floor (71 steps) without a lift, so not recommended if you have mobility problems. The stairway was being refurbished during our stay and we had a couple of mornings woken (not too early) to the floor tiles being removed, and later new tiles going down. The workmen were considerate though and I am sure it will look good when it is finished.
We loved our first trip to Corsica and would like to explore more of the island, but if we did come back to this part of the island again, we would definately stay at this apartment.
It is as good as the pictures.
