Each region of Corsica has a slightly different flavour and allure; and all provide different reasons to travel.

Here is a brief synopsis to help you navigate your way through our Destination Guide.

If you need any additional advice our reservations team are happy to share their personal knowledge of the island. And remember, if you can’t decide which region to explore why not organise a twin centre or touring holiday?

La Balagne

La Balagne

This is our most popular region of Corsica where the majority of our properties are situated.

Central Corsica

The mountainous heart of Corsica is particularly popular with walkers and participants of outdoor activities, whilst the breathtaking scenery and historical sights have far wider appeal.

  • Gulf de Porto claims to be the most beautiful bay in the world; the scenery is spectacular with granite headlands plunging vertiginously into the calm waters below
