Spring/Easter Breaks in Corsica

Known as 'L’Île de Beauté' (the Island of Beauty) by the French, with its sensational bays of warm, transparent waters, edged with golden-white sand, majestic mountains and countryside scented by the herbs of the maquis, Corsica is a truly enchanting Mediterranean island.

Whilst it is administratively still a part of France, Corsica and its people proudly uphold the island's cultural autonomy and welcome all travellers looking to immerse themselves in the Corsican customs and traditions. Along with this, the pace of life is leisurely and relaxed, the food is excellent and locally produced wines are plentiful - all contributing to an idyllic setting for a wonderful holiday.

In April temperatures climb and days get longer, the average temperature can reach up to 17°C during the day, which is extremely well suited for outdoor ventures.

For a Spring/Easter Break we recommend:

Sofitel Golfe D'Ajaccio Thalassa Sea & Spa 
Situated in a stunning seafront position with 180 degree views across Ajaccio Bay on the west coast of Corsica, Sofitel Golfe d'Ajaccio Thalassa Sea & Spa has striking views, choice of guest rooms, heated seawater pool, private beach, gastronomic restaurant, panoramic bar terrace and is close to the capital city of Corsica.

This hotel is well placed to explore the city of Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, with a wealth of interesting sights and places to visit including the Maison Napoleon, Musee Fesch, Citadel as well as a wide array of shops, boutiques and dining options (there is a regular boat shuttle service between Porticccio and Ajaccio in the high season). In contrast the villa is well placed to explore surrounding countryside, the picturesque coast of south west Corsica and the surrounding towns, villages and countryside including nearby Sartene ‘The Most Corsican of Corsican Towns’, the Cascade des Anglais waterfalls in the forest of Vizzavona and the Iles Sanguinaires archipelago.
