Corsica is a very low-stress destination with a flight time of less than two hours and a season lasting from May until October, there are many reasons why Corsica is ideal for families. Firstly, the traditional holiday weather is distinctly Mediterranean but not too hot in the heat of summer. Moreover, gently shelving beaches are ideal for a Corsica family summer holiday even for small children, with fine white sand and crystal clear waters and pool security the norm. Finally, culture and food all add to the holiday experience.

The wide variety of scenery, from deserted beaches to mountain villages and forests, makes the island appealing to all ages and it is easy to travel from beach to mountain in around half an hour, packing in a variety of land or water activities without feeling rushed. On a drive or train ride up to the mountains you will probably meet wild cows, sheep, goats and possibly even wild boar - a source of great excitement for children and adults alike.

For older children there are some fascinating towns and villages to explore including Bonifacio in the south, Calvi in the north, the ancient capital Corte and the proud, beautiful Sartene. There is plenty of historical interest too, with a large number of relatively untouched prehistoric sites with menhirs and dolmens.

Family-friendly Accommodation

Although hotels in Corsica always welcome children, the majority of families opt for self-catering due to greater space and flexibility.  Private villas offer plenty of space for the family to relax, a real home from home; whilst résidences provide the opportunity to meet other families around the pool area. Please note, some hotels will charge for a cot or extra bed sharing a parent's room. Babysitting and listening services in hotels is surprisingly rare. Should you have any specific requirements please call our reservation team for details on 0845 330 2059 or email reservations.

Eating Out

If you choose to eat out, well priced set menus can be found at most restaurants where children are very positively welcomed. Corsicans love children, and while eating out isn't cheap, a good children's menu is no more expensive than in the UK, with restaurants serving from 7pm. Familiar favourites such as Spaghetti Bolognaise, Pizza, Steak Haché (Burger Steak) are all frequently on children's menus in Corsica. We can guide you to what is available in which local areas to help you make the most of your family holiday, whatever the age of your children.
