What You’ll Experience
Touch down in Corsica and step into a world where Mediterranean light meets mountain air. Your stay begins beside a quiet cove — the sea lapping, pines shading the terrace, and the scent of wild herbs riding the breeze. The pace here is measured, gentle, with beachtime or a leisurely walk through a village marking your first hours.
Arrival & Coastal Harmony
Through Calanques, Cliffs & Valleys
Venture westward where the land rises dramatically and the coastline changes shape. Hike or drive through the red granite spires of the Calanques de Piana, then sea level drops to turquoise bays perfect for a boat glide or snorkel. Inland, the Restonica Valley calls with its waterfall‑rocks, pine canopy, and trails quieter than any major route — a contrasting terrain of wildness and serenity.
Hill Villages & Olive Groves
Move into the heart of the island and discover hilltop settlements among chestnut forests and olive terraces. Stay in a stone‑built village hotel where evenings bring candle‑lit dinners, local charcuterie (brocciu cheese, wild boar), and wines made from sun‑baked slopes. At dusk, watch the sky shift over village rooftops and sea below — stillness grounded in heritage.
South Coast & Cliff‑Top Towns
Your journey concludes in Corsica’s dramatic south: a region of white‑chalk cliffs, ancient citadels and sweeping sea views. Visit the cliff‑edge town of Bonifacio, high above the water, its lanes winding down toward hidden beaches. Enjoy a coast drive, let sea salt and wind mark the finale, and feel the island’s dual nature — both intimate retreat and grand spectacle.
