Corsica specialist adds two more villa options in La Balagne

Corsican Places has extended its holiday collection in the North West of Corsica adding a further two villas to meet high demand for holidays within Calvi and La Balagne region. The tour operator and specialist to the island for 29 years presents Villa A Pinarella, a large, four bedroom, high end villa with a pool, which has stunning coastal views from its hillside location, and Bergerie Massoni, a rare and sought after find in Calvi town with its secluded setting and spacious grounds, offering simple two bedroom accommodation, a private pool and a great value option with good availability throughout the summer.

Still a relatively unknown holiday destination, the lack of development and natural beauty of the island give Corsica an exclusive feel, while its diverse landscapes, white sand beaches and turquoise sea are comparable to the Caribbean and a major draw for couples and families.

Corsican Places offers a wide range of flights and accommodation throughout the island, which includes its own direct flights into Calvi operating out of Stansted and Manchester, and into Bastia from Bristol.

Accommodation Highlights:

Villa A Pinarella, Monticello (Sleeps 8) - https://www.corsica.co.uk/a-pinarella
Villa A Pinarella is a large four bedroom stone built house in a beautiful hillside location within the village of Monticello, where it is believed that Christopher Columbus's mysterious mother was born. Perched on a mountainous ridge, the property has breath-taking views across undulating landscapes and over the pretty seaside town of L'Ile Rousse and the ocean below – perhaps best enjoyed from a sun lounger beside the property's private swimming pool. Built using traditional materials with its large stones and beamed ceilings, its offers authenticity, comfort and style and is furnished with plenty of modern comforts.

While much relaxation, indulgence and entertainment can be had in and around the property, A Pinarella's location is perfect for exploring some of the most intriguing attractions on the island. L'Ile Rousse and the coast are just four kilometres away, with a charming old town and plenty of shops and eateries providing a great option for evening meals, while Monticello village itself has a handful of restaurants. Calvi is another fine choice for those hoping to catch a glimpse of Corsican culture at its best, as are the many hilltop villages which punctuate la Balagne landscape.
