The French island of Corsica in the Mediterranean has plenty of breathtaking natural scenery with spectacular beaches backed by sandstone cliffs. Ancient fishing harbours are guarded by medieval citadels and amongst the French cafes and boulangeries of the towns and villages, you will notice a distinct Italian influence which dates back to the years when the island belonged to Pisa and Genoa before it fell to France in the 18th Century. Our villas in Corsica are perfect for a beach holiday in the sun – most are within easy reach of the dazzling turquoise Mediterranean which laps the soft sand of Corsica’s numerous rocky coves. Journey further inland to find picturesque villages, dense oak forests and rugged hillsides dotted with scented pines and olive trees.
