Corsican Places launches its 2007 brochure this month, featuring more choice for honeymooners, with the addition of 32 new properties to its handpicked collection of villas, apartments and hotels. Offering exclusive romantic hideaways with stunning sea views, plus a wide range of flights, including new regional departures, this Ile de Beaute or ‘Island of beauty’ has never been more appealing.
Strengthening its reputation as the UK’s leading Corsican specialist with 20 years experience, the tour operator’s portfolio of 140 properties throughout the island provides an unrivalled selection of high quality accommodation. Ideal honeymoon choices include:
New addition, Apartment Des Peintres; a delightful apartment with its ‘feet in the water’, located in the old quarter of Erbalunga in the Cap Corse region, north of the island. The property is described as ‘a real gem’ and is positioned directly above the sea. Guests will find it hard to tear themselves away from the sound of the lapping waves and views across the water and headland. For dining, there are a number of good restaurants just a short walk away. Prices start from £652 per person for a week self-catering, including flights, car hire and welcome hamper.
For something out of the ordinary, in splendid seclusion, yet boasting some of the best views over Propriano on the West Coast, I Fiore Di Vazze is the ideal retreat. Scattered within 25 acres of parkland, these unique and lovingly restored shepherd bergeries date back to the 13th century. Each house is full of rustic charm and is equipped with its own freeform Jacuzzi plunge pool.
Prices start from £574 per person for a week self-catering, including flights, car hire and welcome hamper.
For deluxe hotel accommodation, Corsican Places features Hotel La Villa in Calvi.
Built in the style of an extensive Roman villa, this elegant property looks out over picturesque views of Calvi bay and its Citadel. Courtesy of its sophistication and array of facilities, including four pools, La Villa has been awarded membership of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux group.
Prices start from £1246 per person for seven nights bed & breakfast including flights and hotel transfer.
With a flying time of around two hours, Corsican Places offers both charter and scheduled direct flights from London and a number of regional airports, including Southampton for the first time. Flights operate every Sunday, from May until September, into all four key airports in Corsica.
Corsican Places product manager Nicola Ball comments:
“It is no wonder that this Mediterranean island was called ‘Kalliste’ or ‘most beautiful’ by the Greeks. Corsica is sought after because of its diversity; stunning beaches and breathtaking mountainous scenery contrast perfectly with old-fashioned rural villages, seaside towns and charming ports. Uncommercialised and unspoilt, this is an Island with a distinct personality, undoubtedly attractive to those seeking a romantic holiday.”
