Situated on the first floor of a typical Corsican building, Apartment
Lazzarini is a lovely apartment at the heart of this bustling, attractive waterfront town and just a few minutes
walk from the beach.
Apartment Lazarini has been comfortably furnished in a traditional style. The kitchen is very well equipped with
full oven and hob, American style fridge-freezer, microwave and all the usual extras one would expect such as a
cafetiere. There is a dining table and chairs and French windows looking out to the back of the apartment. The
small hall area features a beautiful, ornate Armoire, and leads onto the two bedrooms, each with double bed and
access onto the rear balcony where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the town. The bathroom has a bath with
shower attachment, toilet and bidet, and there is also a washing machine.
The large living room with its fireplace feature is adorned with beautiful carved wood furniture. French doors
lead to the balcony at the front of the apartment which looks out over the street below. This room has a further
dining table and comfortable seating, as well as a concealed folding bed which allows for either a fifth person,
or more flexible sleeping arrangements. There is even a television (with French Satellite channels), should you
tire of the many distractions Saint Florent has to offer.
For those who prefer to visit Corsica in early or late season, there
is also heating.
There are a number of beaches in the area - the nearest just 6 minutes
away on foot. The sheltered bay stretches from the port to a sandy beach opposite where you get the best views
of the town and Citadel beyond. There are plenty of sports and activities on offer in the area, and boats trips
from the marina will take you to Loto, and the fabulous Saleccia beaches, renowned for its beauty.
Saint Florent is often known as the Corsican Saint Tropez. The town itself centres around the 15th Century Genoese
Citadel that today plays host to events such as Porto Latino, a Latin music extravaganza held each year during
August. In summer, the narrow streets are filled with lively bars and restaurants, and small boutiques selling
hand-made jewellery, paintings local produce, but you can still find a quiet corner to sit and watch the world
go by.
The Patrimonio region is famous throughout the island for its excellent local wine, and no visit to Saint Florent
would be complete without a visit to the Cave Lazzarini (below left) in the centre of the town. Owned by the same
family as the apartment, be sure to drop by and try the variety of wines on offer - especially the Muscat which
is possibly the best on the island.
Winter Holidays
- For those who like to visit outside of the main season, the apartment has heating making it equally suitable
for summer or winter holidays (a small extra charge applies). Outside of the main season, the owner will prepare
an open fire to welcome you, and the apartment is fully equipped with television and little added extras that mark
the difference between a home and a holiday apartment. Please ask for details.
Linen and a welcome pack is included in the price of the rental.

Comments from previous guests...
'We returned from Corsica early this afternoon after a week at
Apartment Lazzarini. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and, despite having no air conditioning, was
blessedly cool most of the time - you probably heard that the whole week was very hot (by our standards) and a
cool refuge was a blessing. The flat is well positioned within St.Florent being close to the centre, harbour and
beach but, being down a side road meant that it was relatively quiet. The best thing about our stay, however, was
the hospitality of Madame Lazzarini and her family - and we met quite a few, from Madame and Monsieur Lazzarini
and daughters to Jean-Joseph, their newly arrived grand-son. Whenever we went to the cave the "degustation"
glasses came out staight away and there was usually a meaty tit-bit or Corsican biscuit to accompany - the reason
to go to the cave was, of course, to buy some of the Lazzarini wine - we are not connosieurs so enjoyed what the
locals did and had our 5L container filled up from the vat and I am not too ashamed to say that we had it filled
twice. Even when we went to say au revoir Madame L gave us a bag of Corsican biscuits and a couple of jars of local
honey to take home. From what we could see the family worked very hard at what they did and so deserve the success
they have enjoyed.'
'Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time on our first
visit to Corsica. The apartment Lazzarini was extremely comfortable and situated in an excellent position in the
town. We managed to fit in quite a lot in our 7 days including visits to Nonza, Bastia and L'Ille Rousse. We hope
that we shall visit Corsica again.'
'Thank you very much for a lovely holiday!!'
