Welcome to Corsica, the Mediterranean’s best-kept secret. Casa Paradis, located in the heart of historic Calvi on the north-west coast of the island, offers high-quality, comfortable self-catering accommodation for those who prefer to make their own choice, rather than follow the crowd. Just a couple of minutes from the sea, Casa Paradis is the ideal vacation retreat, situated within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants and all that Calvi has to offer. It’s the perfect base for a relaxing self-catering villa holiday for families, couples and groups of friends alike, and the extra expense of car hire is a choice, not a necessity. This stylish home is spacious and very well-equipped, making it easy to self-cater in style, and comfortably sleeps from 2 to a maximum of 8 people (4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms). And, unusually for such a central location, it has a lovely private patio garden, perfect for relaxing outdoor dining.
Corsica has superb beaches, lush unspoilt countryside and stunning mountain scenery, but is perhaps best-known for its famous son, Napoleon. The island combines the best of French culture and lifestyle with that of its close neighbour Italy, resulting in a unique fusion which is defiantly Corsican. Refreshingly, Corsica has somehow managed to escape any large scale development. Calvi, birthplace of Christopher Columbus, is situated on the southern tip of a crescent-shaped bay backed with snowcapped mountains. The stunning 6km long sandy beach, which stretches around the bay, is great for all ages and offers a variety of watersports. Calvi has a chic waterfront and yacht marina lined with restaurants, cafes and bars, and charming cobbled streets and alleys boasting an array of boutiques and delicatessens. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor spent not just one but two honeymoons here, and with very good reason!
