The stunning beaches and breathtaking mountains of Corsica

Apartment Yohann - 1 bedroom, sleeps 2 people
Character property, sea views, terrace, television, beach nearby

 
Dominating the town and the beautiful curved bay of Calvi is the stunning Genoese Citadel. Dating back to the 15th century, this old fortress town is the oldest part of Calvi. Wander the alleyways and narrow cobbled streets between the ancient vertical houses, and you cannot help but be captivated by the atmosphere of the Citadel.
   

Our collection of Citadel apartments are situated close to the famous Chez Tao, a popular piano bar and restaurant, and the Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste which stands at the highest point of the Citadel. From here one can enjoy some of the best views over the Gulf of Calvi, whilst still just a few minutes' stroll from the bustling town below and the fabulous shallow sandy beach that stretches for over 5km.

APARTMENT YOHANN - 1 bedroom, sleeps 2 people

Perhaps the most intriguing of all the Citadel apartments, Apartment Yohann occupies an intimate position, ideal for those looking for a romantic base from which to explore this beautiful town. Situated on the third floor of this ancient old building, the door opens onto the main living room with a sofa offering comfortable seating, an intimate table and chairs where you can enjoy romantic meals if you don't want to venture out into the cobbled streets below, and a well equipped kitchen with full oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Large picture windows look out over the cathedrale but perhaps the unusual feature of this apartment is the 'Venetian Bridge' style corridor linking the bedroom and shower room to the rest of the apartment. The bedroom has been decorated in cool whites and fresh pale green which lends the room a tranquil ambiance. The bedroom looks out over the pretty stone terrace which is accessed via a door from the corridor. From here once can enjoy views over sea to one side and the cathedrale to the other in relative privacy. At sunset the ancient buildings take on a mellow ochre hue which contrasts delightfully with the vibrant blue of the Mediterranean. Unique.

The Citadel is the oldest part of Calvi and remains very unspoilt with steep roads winding between high and impressive houses, so these apartments are not particularly suited to the elderly or anyone with walking difficulties. However, there is so much to see and do in Calvi and the surrounding areas, that many visitors tell us that a week is simply not long enough! The magnificent sandy beach with its wide range of water sports and beachside cafes is an obvious attraction, but be sure to take time to discover the towns and villages nearby either by car or using the little train that runs along the coast - an experience in itself! The narrow streets behind the port are home to a variety of interesting boutiques and excellent restaurants, and the bars lining the port are the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif before dinner whilst you listen to the sound of the water gently lapping the yachts moored in the marina.

Linen is included in the price of the rental.

Comments from previous guests...

Just had to email you to let you know what a fab week we had in Corsica. The apartment was great - just a shame someone hasn’t thought to paint the cathedral wall! We were especially impressed with the info on places to visit that I printed off and took with us – better than any guide and felt more personal. We got around a fair bit only place we weren’t impressed with was St Florent and couldn’t understand why we had seen it compared to St Tropez. Admittedly it was the worst weather day but the Calvi port, that we loved, knocked it into a tin hat – as the saying goes! - as did the Citadel. I would also like to say thank you for your absolutely faultless service – it was so personal. We will definitely visit again but whilst we loved Calvi we have really explored the area, so next time will probably try the south east coast. Without a doubt we will be using your services again and will also recommend you to anyone else we hear that wants to visit Corsica. Keep up the good work.
