Corsica Hotels and Accommodations Tips

Before you start looking at accommodations, below are a few tips to keep in mind while selecting your place to stay: 

  • EARLY - Booking early for Summer - It is a busy destination, lots of French going on vacations. 
  • BEACH - Accommodation near beaches are rarely on the beach. There are only a few and they are not the best. The best accommodations are often 5min walk from the beach. 
  • BUNGALOWS - Save money by staying in bungalows in camping (but be careful with cleaning fees) - Outside of the summer months, you can stay in those bungalows even only for a night (but it might not be possible in Summer)
  • POOLS - Pools are not always heated, it depends on the hotel
  • PAYMENT - Most accommodations accept credit cards. However, a few B&Bs or guesthouses in the mountains or small villages may ask for cash.

I think the entire island is worth a visit and a big road trip around the island is a fantastic adventure.
However, not everyone wants to drive around during their vacations... So here are some tips to help you choose where to go:

Where to stay in Corsica without a car

If you are staying more than a couple of days, I really recommend hiring a car.
However, if you still want a car free holiday, I recommend:

  • Porticcio
    Very close to Ajaccio you have access to the beach and many activities are offered departing Porticcio (boat tour, canyoning...)
    see hotel and rental deals
    or learn more in my section about this place
  • Santa Giulia
    Only if you want to stay all the time at the beach - In the South of Corsica, you can fly to Figari, get a cab to your accommodation right by the beach and just enjoy the crystal clear water and beach activities
    see hotel and rental deals
    or learn more in my section about this place
  • Calvi
    It is also a good place to stay if you don't have a car - you can fly into the Calvi airport (few flights from French towns and a couple of European towns). You can enjoy the beach right in the middle of the town. Plus, there are some good boat trips to Scandola and the train along the coast that stops at many beaches all the way to L'Ile-Rousse.

Why stay in Ajaccio

Best parts and areas of Corsica - where to go to

Here is a bit more information about the best areas of Corsica, if you need more help to decide:

1 - Best places to stay around Cap Corse

The Cap Corse is home to tall mountains dropping into the sea.
It is not much developed and more moody than the rest of the island

  • Before and after your tour of Cap Corse, you can stay either in Bastia on the East Coast for a city stay, 
  • or in Saint-Florent/ Patrimonio on the West Coast for a wine stay
  • To tour Cap Corse (see my guide), I recommend taking 2 days and spend the night at the North end in Macinaggio for example.

2 - Best places to stay in Balagne

The Balagne is a famous region in the North West of Corsica.
It offers a nice mix of beaches, historical town and charming villages.
There are 2 main hubs to stay in Balagne:

  • Calvi - is the largest town in the region - it has a beach, a citadel and lots of activities
  • L'Ile-Rousse is a smaller resort town with a beach and a great walk to the island
  • otherwise, if you want peace, quiet and history, you can stay in one of the many villages

3 - Where to stay for the gulf of Porto / Calanques de Piana

The Gulf of Porto is one of the most impressive areas in Corsica with pink straight cliffs and the Scandola Reserve

  • Piana - The village of Piana is located on higher ground in the Calanques. Therefore, several of its accommodations offer fantastic views of the gulf!
  • Porto Ota - Or you can stay directly in Porto Ota. It is now a touristic hub rather than a village. It is the perfect location for the boat trips and to explore around: North to Scandola, South to Piana and inland towards Evisa! - And in town you will find lots of delicious restaurants to enjoy.

4 - Where to stay in the Corsican Mountains

  • Corte is the main town in the Corsican mountains and a great central place for avid hikers.
  • Otherwise, on the way to Ajaccio, you can stay near the famous Cascade des Anglais, part of the GR20 walk and probably the most famous hike in Corsica.

5 - Where to stay in South West Corsica

For peaceful beach holidays

  • Propriano is the main town along the coast. It has great accommodation options and the beaches nearby have great options too.
  • If you want to experience Corsica, you can stay inland in Sartène which is said to be most Corsican of the Corsican towns

6 - Best places to stay in South Corsica

South Corsica is the most famous part of the island.
Here you can find the impressive cliffs of Bonifacio and the creamy beaches of Palombaggia, Tamaricciu, Santa Giulia and more.
You will find a very large offer of accommodations: 

  • In Porto-Vecchio if you want a city feel and access to many restaurants
  • In Bonifacio if you want to feel the history
  • Near Palombaggia or Santa Giulia if you want beach holidays
  • Everywhere around in Nature. There are some great options!

FAQs

Ajaccio or Bastia?

Both towns have a long history and a lot of charm. You can't go wrong by staying at any of them.
I think the best way to explore Corsica in depth is to do a road trip, and you should spend at least one night in both.
If you want to stay in a city, my preference goes to Bastia for its vibe and easy access to many places I love.
Find out more in my article Ajaccio vs Bastia.

Is North and South Corsica better?

For beach holidays, South Corsica is often considered the best. But it can be very busy.
The North offers a good balance of beaches, culture and quieter vibes.

Hotels Cascade des anglais 2

Which part of Corsica has the best beaches?

The South tip of Corsica has the highest concentration of famous beaches: Tamaricciu, Palombaggia, Santa-Giulia, Rondinara...
See my article with the most beautiful beaches in Corsica.

How many days to you need in Corsica

For a road trip covering the entire island, you need at least 3 weeks.
To see all the highlights of the South and the West, consider 10 days to 2 weeks.
However, you can easily book a week in one of the region and focus on the best there is to do around where you are staying. You won't be disappointed.

Which is better Sardinia or Corsica?

It depends again on what types of holidays you are looking for.
For a variety of landscapes, and raw nature, head to Corsica.
For well-developed beach towns and more architectural / historical gems, head to Sardinia.

Is Corsica expensive to visit?

Corsica is part of France. It gets flooded with French holiday-goers in July and August, so it becomes very expensive.
Outside of those months, you can find some great deals, but it is still a Western Europe level of price.
