Places We Love: Corsica

Corsica is an island located southeast of France, just west of Italy and is part of France.  Known for its unaltered beauty, Corsica's culture contains both French and Italian elements.

Although only 3,400 square miles, Corsica has always been an exclusive getaway for Europeans.  Less flashy than St. Tropez or Monaco, Corsica has long held an irresistible allure for in-the-know Europeans. Almost everyone who’s been to Corsica will be quick to call it the most gorgeous island in the ­Mediterranean— the beaches, mountains, fields and shimmering coastline. It’s laid-back, low-key and even outdoorsy, so hikers, cyclists and swimmers are all in their element. But beach bums will survive too, getting by on ravishing stretches of coastline and clear, inviting waters. There’s an abundance of beautiful cafes, delicious food, and foodies can venture into isolated hilltop villages for olives and wine in the soothing sun.
