Where You'll Stay
Every property on this tour is a three-star hotel set within the Corsican landscape. Each has been carefully selected to provide a comfortable base for the walking days ahead. Where any property cannot be secured, an alternative of equivalent quality will always be arranged in place of those pictured.
Corsica rewards those who take their time, and we recommend adding a day or two to make the most of what the island has to offer. If you are considering where to extend your stay, the following may be helpful:
Calvi: A coastal town with a historic citadel and sandy beaches.
Corte: A mountain village offering an authentic inland Corsican experience away from the coast.
Porto: A beach destination with stunning Mediterranean waters and coastal scenery.
What You'll Eat
Six breakfasts are included, one each morning before the day's walking begins, each continental in style and reflective of the region's food traditions. Lunch is not included but is easily found along the way, with cafes and local food stops a regular feature of the route. For dinner, your walk notes will include a handpicked dossier of local restaurant recommendations, places where the locals eat, so you can find your own way to the table each evening.
Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended, as specialist ingredients can be harder to source along the way.
