Corsica Travel information

Corsica offers a unique holiday experience, which, combined with the great prices we have on holidays to La Villa, Eden Park, Le Pinarello, Relais & Chateaux Grand and the Marnica, make a strong case for you to visit.

the mountain in the sea

Basking in Mediterranean waters a hundred miles southeast of Nice and fifty miles from Italy’s western shore, Corsica's name is derived from a Phoenician word meaning ‘cloaked in forests’. More recent descriptions refer to it as ‘a mountain in the sea’, while its best known claim to fame is as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.

unspoiled, unhurried, uncrowded

But contemporary Corsica rewards the curious visitor with much more than epithets and legends, for this is an island unspoiled, unhurried and uncrowded. Its 3,400 sparsely inhabited square miles are home to the 200ft laricio pines, prized for centuries as ships’ masts, and to parched acres of maquis heaths, where every breeze carries a cuisine of aromas from juniper and rock rose to wild mint and myrtle.

deserted sands

Soaring mountain ranges, capped with snow, send tumbling streams and cool cascades to meet the salt sea far below, where the Med is met by rugged rocks and often deserted sands.
