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

We had a delightful stay at the Maison les Calanches in April 2012 and endorse all the compliments made by others earlier. As walkers, we decided not to hire a car, and thoroughly enjoyed our week without it. We came via Eurostar, TGV to Marseilles, ferry to Bastia and train to l’Ile Rousse. From there we shopped (unnecessarily we later found out, as Speloncato has a shop which sells ‘everything’) and took a taxi to the village for €40 for the four of us, with baggage. We ordered this via the Tourist Office in l’Ile Rousse, who told us we should have given 24 hrs notice, but no matter, one of the three services turned up within 5 minutes. At the end of the stay, the same service collected us at 7.30 am to take us back to l’Ile Rousse for our train to the next stay, this time for €45. There’s plenty of walking, based on the village. If you buy a Carte de Randonnée for l’Ile Rousse at 1:25000 scale you will see that Speloncato lies directly on the (web searchable) Sentier l’Ile Rousse – Corte long distance footpath. We only managed to sample this 7 day route, but the flowers and birds were enchanting.
