For the ultimate Mediterranean escape, Serenity Holidays presents twin centre packages combining a stay on the French island of Corsica with its Italian neighbour Sardinia, through its respected travel brands Corsican Places and Sardinian Places.

Renowned for mountainous scenery, dramatic coastlines and beautiful beaches, each island has a rich heritage and distinct character and, separated by just 11 kms, a ferry service runs frequently between the two islands in less than an hour.

Corsica's L'Extrême Sud includes some of the island's finest beaches along with the towering mountains of Bavella, historic towns of Bonifacio and Sartène, the fishing villages of Campomoro and Porto Pollo, and idyllic coves of the Valinco Gulf. Hop across to Sardinia and encounter its glamorous seaside resorts, local villages and historical sites, or sail around the spectacular islands of la Maddalena.

For a true taste of luxury and glamour the operator presents Villa Dalida a new addition to its Corsica collection and Villa Girola a Premium property from its Sardinian collectionr:

Villa Dalida is a magnificent six bedroom property with a private pool and a former holiday home to the French mega star of the 1970's. Positioned high up in the hills overlooking the gulf of Porto Vecchio, the villa is a perfect retro time capsule of the glamour of the era and provides an exceptional and beautiful bolthole for a large group of friends, as well as a great base for exploring the south and some of Corsica's best beaches.

Villa Girola too provides exquisite, high quality accommodation from its position overlooking the gulf of Cannigione with beautiful views of the bay. This villa, cooled by the sea breezes, boasts excellent outside space with beautifully kept gardens, and is just a five-minute drive away from the bars, restaurants and shops of the lively summer resort of Baia Sardinia and some of Sardinia's finest beaches.
