A wonderful house in an exceptional area
We had a terrific time at Cecile's house in Corsica. We were 5 adults and 4 kids under 6 years old. The house served us all well – the pool and deck, 2 outdoor dining areas, comfortable and stylish interiors – everything was wonderful! The hike (~30 mins with kids) to the nearby beach was WELL worth it – the beach is absolutely idyllic and far less crowded than the public beaches. We had a wonderful lunch at Playa Baggia followed by an afternoon on the beach – lunch was reasonably priced, with deck chairs costing somewhere around 30 EUR each. The beach was perfect for little kids – shallow with tiny waves for 50 meters, warm, clear. The adults could confidently relax from beach chairs without worrying about big waves or an undertow. Bonifacio is not to be missed – our girls aged 4-6 did the famous stairs which was a great adventure! We also enjoyed the Monday market in Porto Vecchio, and the carousel. We had chartered a boat ride that was unfortunately canceled due to high winds – be prepared for this outcome. Lastly, we had a wonderful but VERY expensive dinner at Tamarrichu – 950 EUR for the 9 of us with some cocktails, 3 bottles of wine, kids menus, and a birthday cake. Everything was delicious and it was a lovely treat for the last night but the menu is limiting and pricey. Ah – afternoon and evening petanque with a sea view – memories for years! Overall we had a wonderful week in Corsica, thanks to being able to stay at Cecile's lovely house in a perfect area.
