Handpicked Corsica

Off the beaten track and the tourist traps, away from the lazy tacky convenience of breeze-block architecture that corrupts the essence of many a mediterranean shoreline, there are little gems of style and character waiting to be unearthed; most come at a price and all are brought to you on a silver tray by the discerning travel agent who does the legwork for you, so why not treat yourself for once to what you truly deserve, ditch the low cost and instead rediscover the countless pleasures of a premium holiday...


Source: In the spirit of those holidays with a difference, Corsican Places offer premium accommodation packages to the French mediterranean island of Corsica, with a hot selection of handpicked character rental houses, including the Condé Nast-commended Bergerie Olivella (Gulfs of the West Coast). Go past the crazy paving, fly open the shutters, take the views in and make yourself at home!

An Intimate Getaway

There are times in a life when one needs to take time and a deep breath, gather their thoughts, step back in order to think ahead, desert the hustle and bustle of the city simply to reconnect with their true selves, take a much-needed holiday, sail away or simply head for the country a few miles down the road. Despite being Danish in origins, those adorable little retreats might as well be found in a countryside near you...
