The beach at Calvi stretches for more than 5km and is particularly popular with families with young children as the waters are warm and shallow.

'I thought I would drop you a line to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Corsica and that the Le Padro accomodation was excellent - with lovely views. We noted your advice about essential car hire at such an out of the way spot but we did not wish to drive and so we took a chance on public transport. We were able to locate the coastal train route station of "Dolce Vita " which was a 25 minute stroll down to in the mornings and a 30 minute stroll back up in the evenings and this made our holiday just perfect.' We have just returned from our holiday in Corsica. Both weeks were fantastic and we really enjoysd staying in both these properties. Le Padro was excellently situated,we enjoyed the peace and quiet after busy days sightseeing.The apartment had fabulous views over the maquis towards Calvi and the citadel.We could sit on our terrace and watch Hoopoes,Bee eaters, and red kites, yet we were only 5 min away from Calvi by car.The owners were friendly and welcoming, every morning they would ensure we had fresh baguettes and croissants. The children loved the pools and made good use of the tennis court and mini golf.It was certainly an excellent introduction to Corsica. Our second week in the mountain village of Lama was a good contrast. The property was very comfortable and again the owner went out of her way to welcome us.The property was very authentic and we enjoyed some excellent walks from the village.Highlights of the trip must include swimming in the gorges near Calacuccia and the wonderful views from the Foret du Bonifatio outside Calvi.An excellent holiday and we appreciated all your advice.
