03 November 2010 - Corsican Places - Press Office
Corsican Places launches its 2011 brochure this month, confirming its status as the UK’s leading Corsican specialist. Highlights for 2011 include:
Widest Range of Corsica Holiday Accommodation to UK Market
Corsican Places continues to offer the widest range of Corsica holiday properties to the UK market – over 130 choices - much of which is exclusive to its programme. The tour operator specializes in villas, houses and apartments – most in close proximity to the coast – but also includes more rural accommodation within its portfolio, as well as hotels from the simple to the deluxe.
25 NEW Properties for 2011
Corsican Places has added 25 new properties for 2011 – the North of the island still being its stronghold, but expanding its property portfolio in the South to meet client demand.
New properties include, the converted and stylish Bergerie Olivella & Bergerie Murtetu – both part of Corsican Places Premium Collection – located in Olmeto, Gulfs of the West Coast.
The charming and traditional villa, Casa Monica, perfect for families, situated in Palavesa, just outside Porto Vecchio, between the sea and mountains. Also ideal for families is Marina Serena, a Residence of five modern mini villas just a short drive from Palombaggia and Porto Vecchio.
New hotels for 2011 include, the 3* Hotel Costa Salina, which enjoys a sought after location on the harbourside of Porto Vecchio, just a few steps away from the bustling marina.
Quality properties are continually sourced and added to Corsican Places’ online collection at www.corsica.co.uk
Second Year for Corsican Places Stansted – Calvi Charter

”Our growth in the South means that Corsican Places now offers a more balanced programme across the whole of the island, which I believe strengthens our position as the Corsica specialist. We are delighted both to have been awarded ‘Best Destination Specialist Tour Operator 2010’ this year by Atout France, and to have had such positive customer feedback from the first season of operating our Stansted – Calvi charter. We are also pleased to be able to offer holidays including flights on the new Heathrow - Figari charter.”
