2 Bedroom Holiday House Rental in Speloncato, Corsica, France Reviews

We have just returned from a week in this delightful place. The house, which was comfortable and pleasant to stay in, is perched on the edge of the village with spectacular views over a wide valley towards the sea. The village (a few minutes steep walk up the hill) is charming and Madame in the general store was happy to save bread for us and was a good source of local knowledge. It takes half an hour on winding roads to get to the main coast road, but there is little temptation to leave the immediate area. The bird life is extraordinary - after a few days close-up views of red kites and other birds of prey seem almost commonplace. It's a wonderful area for 'foodies' having exceptional fresh produce and excellent restaurants. It was a delightful experience to take the short drive up to the mountain pass and, after a peaceful walk, enjoy some very high quality food in the restaurant there. Further afield, there are a wide variety of interesting places to visit. We particularly enjoyed Bastia old town (going by rail from Ponte Leccia is a scenic route and takes the strain out of parking), and there are some lovely unspoilt beaches. The owners couldn't have been more efficient and helpful, with advice about such things as car hire. You need to be reasonably fit and not too creaky to get the best out of a stay here, but this is an area that can be enjoyed on so many different levels.
