It is true that everyone who visits Corsica is seduced by it, and for us, it is more than just a place to take your holidays, it is an experience!

Our aim is to become THE Corsican website in the UK, where visitors can find everything connected with Corsica, where we can propose places to stay, things to do, activities and so on. Unlike other portals, clients contacting us can speak to someone who knows the island extremely well, and can give suggestions to suit their particular needs. This gives them confidence that we can really help them get the most from their holiday. We also have partnership agreements so that we can offer discounted flight seats and car hire.

The company is owned and run by Janet & Iain Rankin, founders of the English tour operator Corsican Places, and Claire Hall who has worked with them for many years. Making use of their considerable knowledge and experience of Corsica and its clientele, the company has gone from strength to strength, and we now receive nearly 3000 visitors per month. We also advertise regularly in the main press and have a public relations company working on our behalf, so we are confident that you would benefit from your association with directcorsica.co.uk.

Your prices
If you normally work with a tour operator, renting direct allows you to increase the amount you would normally receive from the tour operator. It is worth considering that clients generally don't like to pay lots of 'extras' such as linen hire or end of stay cleaning, so these costs should be included in the advertised rental cost.
