11 August 2008 - Corsican Places - Press Office

Leading independent specialist Corsican Places is offering two weeks for the price of one at one of its sought-after Calvi Citadel properties.

A 14-night holiday at the character two bedroom Casa Columbus is now only £679 per person, valid for departure on 24 August 08 only. (14-night price now at a 7-night price).
This offer price is based on four sharing and includes return flights from London Gatwick, airport transfers, taxes (including fuel surcharge) and a welcome hamper.

Casa Columbus, at the heart of Calvi Citadel, is a new addition to the Corsican Places’ collection.

A property of great charm and character, Casa Columbus has the added benefit of an outside living area, offering glorious views over Calvi Bay, courtesy of its prime ‘eagle’s nest’ position.
The terrace is also complete with barbeque.

Calvi fulfils the image of the perfect ‘picture postcard’ Mediterranean: a colourful array of buildings and a pine fringed crescent of silver sand beach stretching as far as the eye can see. All of this, crowned by cobbled streets climbing up to the town’s main attraction, its Genoese Citadel.

Housed within the Citadel itself, residents of Casa Columbus can easily enjoy Citadel facilities, such as the relaxed Salon de thé, or Cathedral, venue of polyphonic concerts.

The centre of Calvi, with its laid-back harbourside cafes, restaurants and sandy beach, is just a short walk away.

Corsican Places product manager Nicola Ball comments:

“Corsican Places offers more accommodation options in Corsica than any of its competitors, with La Balagne region our particular stronghold and we are delighted to offer such excellent character properties here. Casa Columbus is a real gem for a couple seeking authentic Corsica in an historical and romantic setting.”
