A Chjova, Calvi, Corsica
£695, sleeps 4
This small apartment doesn't have a garden, and there's only one balcony, but who cares when it's air-conditioned and set in the heart of the pretty harbour town of Calvi? Everything is on your doorstep - restaurants, cobbled streets, markets and beaches - and it's just a short drive away from the wild, mountainous Corsican interior. 0845 330 2059, corsica.co.uk ; fly to Bastia, 90 minutes away, with EasyJet or Thomson Airways
