Known as the 'Nid des peintres' (painters nest), Erbalunga has long been a source of inspiration for numerous artists who come here to take advantage of its special setting which is reminiscent of a smaller version of Portofino. The centre of the village is pedestrianised, and the network of narrow streets converge on the small fishing harbour where boats still moor.

'Hi Claire, Just a line to say how much we enjoyed Corsica.Everything was organised to a tee !! Thanks. The coast is almost as dramatic as the interior but the road around Cap Corse is certainly one not to rush on!! Should be better when they finish it!! The Hotel Castel Brando was excellent, but we thought the breakfast a little overpriced for what it was. The village has some good restaurants there, but the best we thought was Les Pieds dans l'eau where the fish was fresh and simply cooked and served,,,brilliant. All in all a wonderful holiday.'
