introduction to corsica
Bienvenue en Corse
Uncommercialised, untouched and unspoilt, Corsica is without doubt a beautiful and bewitching place, seducing every visitor. Despite being our closest Mediterranean island at just over two hours from the UK and the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean, Corsica still remains a mystery to most. “A French island basking in the Italian sun” was how the French writer Balzac described it. Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean, Corsica lies some 170km off the French coast and 80km from Italy. Geographically, the island is tuned into Italy but France governs it, meaning that Corsica has both French and Italian flavours whilst retaining its own distinct personality. Most visits to Corsica begin by the sea – almost 1,000km of undeveloped coastline combining dramatic seascapes with an alluring array of beaches. Coastal towns bustle against a stage-set of quiet villages in the mountains; whilst Corsica’s shores are lapped by implausibly clear turquoise waters and backed by wonderfully perfumed maquis. Corsica boasts an incredible variety of coastal landscapes – from secluded coves to vast sandy bays, from plunging red granite pinnacles of the west coast to the dazzling white cliffs of Bonifacio – this isle of beauty offers an irresistible invitation to sample the pleasures of the sea. Around a third of the island is National Park and it has the highest mountains and most rivers of any Mediterranean island. Running as a spine down the length of the island, the highest peaks reach nearly 3,000m with around twenty peaks over 2,000m. Corsica is cut by deep gorges, echoing with tumbling

streams, with fragrant pine forests covering the mountains. A truly unique island, the Ancient Greeks named it “Kalliste” – the most beautiful; and with a rich and aromatic flora, this mountain in the sea certainly takes your breath away. In spring, green fields and woodlands are blanketed with colourful wild flowers soaking up the warmth of the sun while the highest mountain peaks are still covered in snow. In summer sleepy coastal towns and villages awaken as visitors arrive and moor their luxurious yachts in picturesque marinas. Locals and tourists alike bask in glorious sunshine, enjoying a myriad of water sports and other outdoor pursuits or simply relaxing as they admire the stunning scenery. In late summer the island starts to unwind again, the beaches and roads are quieter and the sun is still shining bright. Laid back and with a lack of pretention, Corsica is one of the most wonderful and hospitable islands in the Med. At the heart of the Mediterranean, it is steeped in tradition and the culture bears witness to the island’s often turbulent past, perhaps a reason why Corsicans are proud, generous and very free spirited. Pastoral cuisine, fine wines, historical and sacred monuments, unique polyphonic singing, fairs that celebrate the island’s abundant harvest and a variety of fascinating traditions all help define this distinctively Mediterranean way of life.
With the island’s many faces, Corsica has something for everyone whether you’re looking for a traditional family beach holiday, a touring holiday discovering the breathtaking mountain scenery, a romantic break right in the heart of the atmospheric citadels, or a more energetic experience cycling, walking or on the water. We love the island so let us guide you to Corsica, and experience the hospitality, conviviality and authenticity of this “scented isle”.
We loved Corsica, one of the most beautiful places we have visited – the scents of the maquis, the mountain villages and the fabulous beaches. Mr Graves - Guest

the regions of Corsica
La Balagne
Calvi
L’ile Rousse, la Balagne
Alta Rocca, l’extrême sud

Calvi Calvi’s Citadel rises high above the town with its fortress-like buildings looking out across the bay and its sweeping crescent of silver sand that gently shelves into the sea with a backdrop of pines and the majestic mountains beyond. In the height of the season, the citadel can be a lively place to stay, but in early and late summer it has a different, slower pace of life. The town itself is a colourful array of buildings, with narrow cobbled streets lined with shops, restaurants and a lively harbourside, making for the perfect Mediterranean holiday destination and the ideal choice for a first time visit to Corsica. sant’Ambroggio, Algajola, Marine de Davia & Lumio Dotted along the coast between the towns of Calvi and L’Ile Rousse lie the beautiful sandy beaches and secluded coves that make these seaside villages so appealing to holiday-makers. Backed by high mountains that remain snowcapped until early summer, these small resorts offer both tranquillity and true Corsican character offering the perfect base from which to explore la Balagne. L’Ile Rousse L’Ile Rousse is little changed by tourism and the town has a real life of its own. Whilst holidaying families enjoy the superb sandy beach, the market place bustles with people going about their everyday business. Afternoons are for a game of pétanque on the square in front of the church and early evenings see the locals get together for an apéritif beneath the plane trees. The streets of the old town come alive at night, with many restaurants to tempt you.
Balagne villages Honey-hued villages with real Corsican character cling to striking mountains. Towering above the coast, the villages have changed little over the centuries and you will experience a way of life that is essentially Corsican. Local life is at a slower pace, and is ideal for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the 21st century, whilst being just a short drive from the beaches of la Balagne.
St Florent & the North East st Florent Tucked away between the Désert des Agriates and Cap Corse, St Florent has much to offer with its bustling waterfront, chic marina and charming old town. Oozing an intimate and laid-back atmosphere, St Florent is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday. Enjoy the spectacular views across the bay from your private villa or take a boat trip to the fabulous beaches of Saleccia and Loto. Cap Corse To the north you will find the wild and rugged Cap Corse. Split into two by the Serra mountain range, it is a land of Genoese watchtowers, pretty harbour towns, enchanting perched villages and quiet sandy coves. Costa Verde To the south of Bastia lie beautiful beaches with a distinctive backdrop of chestnut covered hills of the Castagniccia. In contrast, Moriani Plage offers long stretches of sandy beaches and a good range of facilities.

The town itself boasts a buzzing atmosphere in a typical Mediterranean setting with cobbled streets, café terraces, harbourside restaurants and chic boutiques. There is also plenty to do for the more active with walking, horse riding and water sports on offer.

Valinco & the West Coast Valinco Gulf The Valinco is one of the most beautiful gulfs on the west coast and has much to offer – idyllic sandy beaches, picturesque coves of golden sand fringed by rocks, quaint seaside resorts and breathtakingly unspoilt mountain scenery. Inhabited for millennia, the various settlers have left their mark on the landscape, from the standing stones of Filitosa to the Genoese towers on each headland, making this an area rich in historical interest. Ajaccio Gulf Ajaccio is a bustling capital city with old streets, squares, cafés and ample culture. Heading south around the bay you will find glorious and sometimes secluded beaches from Porticcio to Portigliolo.
With water sports on offer and superb views out towards Ajaccio and the rugged headland of the Iles Sanguinaires, the area is ideal for a beach holiday. Porto Gulf The coast of the Gulf of Porto is one of Corsica’s most famous landscapes. With stunning cliffs plunging into the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean, and the picturesque villages of Porto and Piana backed by high mountain peaks – this scenery will certainly take your breath away. The area is best viewed from the sea or explored on foot, and there are a number of spectacular marked trails for keen walkers.

Bonifacio If you are looking for a town full of character, look no further than Bonifacio, perched precariously on a limestone cliff high above the sea, little changed in centuries. A myriad of narrow cobbled streets filled with shops, bars and restaurants makes the citadel a wonderful place to explore. At its feet lies the luxury yacht-filled marina and more superb restaurants. With the Sperone golf course on its doorstep and the island of Sardinia within easy reach, Bonifacio has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel.
Central Corsica Move inland away from the coast through pine forests and chestnut woods and you will find charming villages set against a spectacular backdrop of granite mountains. A wide range of outdoor activities are on offer in the mountainous interior and the scenery will not fail to impress with serene lakes, dramatic waterfalls and tumbling streams meandering through pine clad gorges. Details of accommodation can be found on our website.

What to
expect in Corsica Climate
Food and wine
Corsica has one of the highest sunshine records in France with an average of 2,793 hours per year. The island, as with the rest of the Mediterranean, is influenced by the winds with the temperature moderated by the mountains. In the early season the days are longer and the clear air means that the sun can be very hot, although the sea will not warm up until early June. Average summer temperatures normally reach a very pleasant 25°C rising to as high as 35°C in July and August with sea temperatures reaching their peak by mid-August. At the end of the season the days will be shorter, but the sea remains warm enough to swim comfortably until mid-October.
As with Corsica itself, the island’s cuisine is best described as “somewhere between French and Italian” and café life is vibrant with everyone taking part. Simple seasonal dishes combine the Mediterranean with pastoral mountain flavours and local produce makes food wholesome with an emphasis on freshness and taste. Whether you are looking for simple or sophisticated cuisine, a wide range of food can be found in most towns. Meals are generally rich and hearty, often slow cooked to maximise the flavour and to make the most of the wide array of vegetables, fruits and herbs that grow on the island – many of them wild.

herb-scented charcuterie, local dairy products such as Brocciu cheese and chestnut-based pastries are widely available to buy, and fish and wild game appear frequently on menus. Corsican wines, many now with the French AOC accreditation, are good quality reds and rosés with underlying flavours of the maquis. With some outstanding exceptions, Corsica is not generally known for its white wines, although its delicious Muscat de Cap Corse, a rich and sweet dessert wine, is very popular with both locals and visitors alike. The island also has its own beers and a selection of fortified fruit wines and apéritifs. Producers from throughout the island travel to the Corsican wine festival in Luri (Cap Corse) in mid-July each year, to show off their award winning wines; just remember to leave room in your luggage for a few bottles!

Corsica offers a great variety of gastronomic delights, from maquis-flavoured honey and a wide range of chestnut-based products, to charcuterie and cheeses. The best place to sample and purchase local produce is at the lively, colourful markets in most of the main towns. You can also find regional specialities in most of the local épiceries, boulangeries and charcuteries throughout the island and for those who wish to find out a bit more about the products, a visit to the centres of production, including the bergeries or the vineyards, is a must. There are souvenir shops

St Florent
available in the main resorts but if you are looking for something traditionally Corsican, then we suggest you try handicraft shops or craftsmen’s workshops, where efforts to revive the ancient arts of knife-making, pottery and stoneware, basket-weaving and glassblowing are proving increasingly popular.
Propriano – There is a daily indoor market every morning on Rue Pandolfi (the road running parallel to the harbour front) where you can buy locally grown fruit and vegetables.
Markets in Corsica
Hiring a car is the best way to get out and about, giving you the freedom to explore the island at your leisure. Some coastal or mountain roads are narrow and winding, with very little room for manoeuvre and as a rule of thumb, 50 kilometres will take at least an hour. Outside July and August, the roads are less busy and you will not see as much traffic as you do in the UK. Anyone who has seen the Rallye de Corse – the French stages of the World Rally Championship – will know the terrain can be hair-raising at times. As with the rest of the Mediterranean, other road users may seem to the UK driver to drive unpredictably.
L’Ile Rousse – There is a local market every morning in the covered market place (7am-noon) with stalls selling fish and seafood, local charcuterie, cheeses, wines, honey and locally grown fruit and vegetables. In addition, on most Fridays in high season, there is a travelling market selling clothes, music and a range of items that fills the whole of Place Paoli, further adding to the atmosphere. Bastia – The fresh produce market takes place every morning (except Monday) on the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville with stalls that sell vegetables, fish and Corsican specialities as well as clothes. Ajaccio – Well worth visiting is the daily market on Place César-Campinchi, behind the Hôtel de Ville. It is one of the largest fresh produce markets on the island and although not cheap, the quality of the produce is second to none. Alongside bright freshly cut flowers, fruit and vegetables laid out under striped awnings, are stalls selling artisan delicacies such as fig jam, honey, wild boar sauces and ewe’s milk cheeses as well as Muscat wines and myrtle liqueurs.
Getting about
Public transport is limited on the island with the exception of the train that runs from Bastia via Corte to Ajaccio, with a branch line from Ponte Leccia to the seaside resorts of L’Ile Rousse and Calvi. Traditionally it has been a “boneshaker” of a ride, the reason why the locals call it “U Trinighellu” or the trembler. It is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the island, a “must do” with stunning panoramas that you just won’t see from the car, as well as a useful means of getting about. Please note

however, this service may be a little unreliable at times and departures are not always guaranteed. The mainline from Bastia to Ajaccio cuts through the heart of the mountains over viaducts and bridges and through no less than 38 tunnels placing it among the world’s top scenic railways.
Nightlife Corsican nightlife tends to be low key and rather laid-back, typically consisting of an evening apéritif and a meal in a harbourside restaurant – there is a good selection of bars and restaurants to choose from as well as a handful of venues playing live music. There are only a few nightclubs in Corsica compared to other Mediterranean resorts and these are mainly concentrated in and around the main coastal towns. Corsica’s unique polyphonic music is hauntingly beautiful and has undergone a revival in recent years. Today, it still remains an integral part of the island’s traditional culture and there are many places across the island which host events featuring a mixture of Corsican choral and folk tunes – these are well worth attending, the music is excellent and the atmosphere vibrant.

introduction to corsica
Outdoor activities Corsica offers a wide variety of activities for couples, groups of friends and families – it is the perfect destination for those who enjoy life outdoors. There is certainly something for everyone whether you are a novice or an enthusiast and in many instances the facilities are world-class. Cycling
Walking
Water sports
Cycling in Corsica has become increasingly popular over the recent years and more particularly since the last edition of the Tour de France in 2013. Getting out and about on two wheels will enable you to discover Corsica more intimately and be rewarded by some of the island’s most outstanding views. The terrain is largely mountainous though with climbs and winding roads, so remember cycling can be a challenging option. For the fairly active and experienced cyclists, opt for road cycling along the Cap Corse or mountain biking on the forest trails of l’Ospédale. We can carry your bike free of charge on our Stansted-Calvi charter flight or alternatively you can hire a bike locally in one the main resorts.
Corsica will captivate those who enjoy walking, as hiking is one of the key attractions on the island. With impressively high peaks, breathtaking scenery and unspoilt countryside, the island can be greatly appreciated on foot. Whether you are looking for a gentle coastal walk, a day exploring the forested valleys with its hidden rock pools and waterfalls or a more adventurous mountain tour, there is a wealth of marked trails and pathways to suit walkers of all levels.
The spectacular and untouched coastline of Corsica can be best appreciated from the sea. Due to the constant presence of the wind, the island is an ideal choice for sailors and windsurfers alike, whilst Corsica’s coastal waters rank amongst the cleanest and clearest in the Mediterranean making diving a remarkable experience. Great diving spots include the Revellata Peninsula near Calvi, where you can dive to the wreck of an American B17 bomber, to the marine reserve at Bonifacio or the “Cathédrales” off the coast at Porto Pollo in the Valinco.
Following excellent feedback from our customers, we are pleased to continue offering walking holidays in partnership with a couple of Corsican walking specialists. For more information and itineraries, see page 150.
The panorama of this stunning and dramatic island is certainly best appreciated from the deck of a yacht exploring the secluded bays and hidden coves dotted around the island. Equipment hire and sailing trips are available in most seaside towns including Calvi, St Florent, Porto Vecchio and Propriano.
Other outdoor pursuits Horse riding is also widely available, galloping across windswept beaches or riding some of Corsica’s hidden pathways is a must for any budding equestrian. Donkey rides are popular for children and parents alike, and these are available from Olmi Cappella or Sant’Antonino. Following heavy winter snowfall in spring, the water levels of the rivers rise providing exciting opportunities for canoeists, rafters, experts and beginners alike, with some spectacular descents. Boasting numerous mountain summits, plummeting cliffs and waterfalls, Corsica also offers some of the best via ferratas in Europe. Known as “iron roads” in Italian, these designated mountain routes are equipped with fixed cables, ladders, ramps and bridges, allowing isolated areas to be discovered by the more adventurous. Two popular routes are the via ferratas of Chisa and the Asco Valley.

introduction to corsica
Corsica captures the hearts of visitors each year with its 1,000km of stunning coastline and crystal clear waters. Boasting just under 200 beaches, there is a great variety to choose from, with sand of every shade from white through to gold: deserted intimate beaches and hidden coves – perfect for couples, shaded and gently shelving beaches – ideal for children, as well as magnificent bays – just right for water sports. Some say Corsican beaches are amongst the best in the Mediterranean and at Corsican Places, we tend to agree! To give you a flavour of the fabulous range of beaches Corsica has to offer, here’s a list of our favourite beaches across the island. Calvi beach – Calvi Town Calvi’s beach is a sweeping bay of powdered silver sand fringed by woods of maritime pines and is lapped by some of the clearest water on the island. From here, the views across the bay and the picturesque backdrop of Calvi Citadel are simply magnificent. There is a good selection of beachside restaurants and cafés as well as a diverse range of water sports activities. With a gently shelving gradient as well as warm and protected waters, the beach is ideal for children. Lumio – La Balagne The small beach at Lumio, Arinella Plage, also has stunning views of Calvi Citadel across the bay. Sheltered between rocky headlands there are opportunities to swim, paddle or snorkle. Ostriconi – La Balagne This large stretch of sand is wild and beautiful with dramatic views across the rocky hills of the Désert des Agriates. Situated at the mouth of the Ostriconi river, the setting is a real paradise for those wanting a more unspoilt and isolated beach as it can only be accessed via a steep path that cuts through the maquis for approximately 1km.
Loto & Saleccia – North East Plage de Loto is one of the most wonderful, isolated beaches of the Désert des Agriates. With its white sand and clear turquoise water, it is very popular in July and August though quite deserted the rest of the year. Access is by boat or on foot (a 5 hour walk from St Florent). A further hour’s walk along the coast of the desert, Saleccia is often less crowded but is equally stunning – it is a 1km long curve of pearl-white sand with perfectly transparent sea.
Campomoro, Valinco
Moriani Plage – North East The coastline of the Costa Verde nestles between the Castagniccia hills and the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian sea and boasts a 14km stretch of golden sand with Moriani Plage as its main resort.
Bodri, la Balagne
Pianottoli & Gulf of Figari – L’Extrême Sud Bordering the Gulf of Figari and the village of Pianottoli, these secluded and unfrequented coves are just delightful – a gorgeous string of narrow sandy creeks spread around a shallow turquoise bay. If you can’t bear the crowds of the more popular beaches in the height of the summer season, then these will be the perfect choice for you. Palombaggia & Santa Giulia – L’Extrême Sud Arguably the most famous on the island, Palombaggia and Santa Giulia are some of Corsica’s finest beaches and therefore the most popular. Palombaggia is an exquisite blend of fine white sand guarded by huge red granite rocks, fronted with gorgeous blue sea and lined with beautiful pine trees. In contrast, Santa Giulia sits in a magnificent horseshoe bay – the shallow and translucent water here makes the perfect swimming spot for the little ones.
Saleccia, North East
Olmeto Plage – Valinco Some of the best beaches in the Valinco Gulf lie along the road between Propriano and Porto Pollo – an array of picturesque coves of golden sand fringed by rocks, bordered by crystal clear water and with superb views across the gulf and as far as Propriano. Porto Pollo – Valinco This is a busy little resort set on a gorgeous bay with a lively marina and a sheltered sandy beach. The gently shelving bay is lapped by very clear water, making it ideal for families with young children. The water sports here are excellent and it boasts some of the best diving in the region.

Corsican history Rich in history, the island is ideal for inquisitive children. There are crumbling Genoese watchtowers dotted along the coastline with tales of pirates and ancient battles. Castle-like citadels dominate many towns whilst archaeological sites inland tell stories of historic times gone by. Coastal train The rattling “U Trinighellu” train between Calvi and L’lle Rousse is an exciting adventure for children. Called the boneshaker by the locals, this exhilarating ride hugs the coastline with views up into the mountains on one side and the sea on the other. 3
4 Water sports For children who love the sea, there are plenty of activities available. Try sea kayaking and dinghy sailing in one of the gentle, sandy coves. 5 Boat trips Boat rides are a must for families giving a different perspective of the island. Try visiting the isolated Loto and Saleccia beaches from St Florent harbour, or for those on the south coast, take a trip to explore the tiny string of islets known as Iles Lavezzi, where on a clear day you can see Sardinia. 6 Horse riding, pony treks and donkey rides From trekking through the countryside to galloping along the beaches, horse riding and pony treks are widely available for children of all abilities. Donkey rides are also available at Olmi Cappella in the Guissani or Sant’Antonino in la Balagne.
Porto Pollo was our favourite beach in the Valinco, it is clean, gently shelving and safe – perfect for little ones, and a dip. Soft sand at the far end of the beach is ideal for sandcastles and kept the twins happy for hours. Paul Kenny - Commercial Manager
Tortoise sanctuaries “A Cupulatta” is Europe’s largest tortoise sanctuary, just to the north of Ajaccio, it boasts over 150 different species of tortoise and turtle. There is also a smaller sanctuary at Moltifau in la Balagne. 7
8 Treetops and mountain climbing For older children looking for adventure, the mountains of Corsica are well worth a visit. Try the “Via Ferrata” with monkey bridges, rope swings, cables and ramps perched high on the mountainside. 9 Craft workshops and local produce Skills passed on through the generations are on show all over the island with woodcarving and pottery displays. Many local farms also open their doors to families wanting to pet the animals or try the local produce. 10 Corsican treats With an Italian influence, ice cream parlours are plentiful in coastal towns and villages offering an array of different flavours in a rainbow of colours. Crêperies are also in abundance with sweet or savoury choices, ideal for families wanting a meal or dessert with a classic French twist.

Our accommodation We offer the largest portfolio of hand-picked accommodation in Corsica on the UK market, ranging from Premium villas with private pools to rural cottages, cosy apartments and beachfront hotels. Our properties lie in various awe-inspiring locations – from stunning mountainous scenery or quaint villages to horseshoe bays of white sand with crystal blue waters and breathtaking harbour towns. The choice is yours… Our expert team have visited Corsica many times and have first-hand knowledge of all the properties. We know and love our selection, each having our personal favourites, so let us guide you to the holiday property that we feel will suit your needs. Self-catering We specialise in private self-catering properties, the vast majority being in close proximity to the coast with glorious beaches, restaurants and local shops close to hand. We have a wide selection of hand-picked villas with private pools, apartments, houses and résidences all over the island – a choice to suit all tastes and requirements. We describe as accurately as possible the general style and layout of each accommodation, including the number of adults each property comfortably sleeps (see property descriptions for full details). All our self-catering properties are privately owned, and consequently the style, fittings and furnishings vary from one property to another and price should not be used as a guideline to comfort and standard, as it is also very much dependent on the location of the property. To give you an idea of the standard you can expect from each, we have grouped our properties into the following categories:

Our Premium Collection – We have selected a small number of properties that have a certain “je ne sais quoi” – something very special and certain to prove popular with our most discerning guests.

All Premium villas have a private pool, en-suite facilities to most or all bedrooms, and have air-conditioning or are designed to optimise the faithful Corsican breeze. Our Premium villas also include upgraded car hire, additional midweek cleaning, beach towels and a superior welcome hamper. Very Comfortable – Furnished as a permanent or second home with many personal touches, fully equipped kitchen and well-equipped garden/ outdoor area.
Comfortable – Well decorated and appointed with comfortable and functional furniture, personal touches and good kitchen facilities. Simple – Properties furnished with the emphasis on holiday living, generally with practical, functional furniture and basic kitchen facilities. Hotels From a small family run auberge to the luxury and refinement of Corsica’s best hotels, we have a selection to suit all tastes from simple 2★ to the best Corsican 5★. Smaller Corsican hotels tend to be family owned with the emphasis on the personal touch, making them a superb base from which to discover the island. Luxury Corsican hotels focus on service and style, situated in some of the most stunning locations Corsica has to offer; they create the ultimate holiday experience. All grades are awarded according to the official French star system.

intRoduCing Calvi
Calvi Imagine the perfect “picture postcard” in the Mediterranean – a colourful array of buildings, cobbled streets climbing up to a Genoese Citadel, harbourside cafés and restaurants, and a pine-fringed crescent of silver sand stretching as far as the eye can see. This is Calvi. a busy port during the Roman era, Calvi takes its name from the Calvus – “bald” rock that would come to form the foundations of the citadel. standing proud on its headland, any visitor to Calvi must visit this 13th century fortress, which has lost none of its fascination over the centuries, and remains a remarkable example of Corsican architecture and cultural heritage. within the walls you’ll find cobbled passages tightly packed with houses, dominated by the Cathédrale saint Jean-Baptiste, which stands at the highest point of the citadel. Every week here there are concerts of “chants polyphoniques”, Corsican polyphonic singing. The best way to see the rest of the citadel is to simply follow the ramparts, which offer some magnificent views across the bay to the mountains of la Balagne. Calvi is reputedly the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, born during the Genoese occupation of the town, the remains of his house can still be seen today and are commemorated by a plaque in the citadel and statues scattered throughout the town.
Populated by bustling bars and cafés, this is the best place to get a feel for the town and watch the world go by. Past the promenade, a glorious pine forest – la Pinède – stretches along the six kilometres of gently shelving beach bordering Calvi bay. During the height of the summer season, Calvi sports a lively atmosphere at night time, with an array of quayside cafés, restaurants and several clubs. The well-known bar “Chez Tao” is not to be missed; set in the citadel, it’s often open until dawn, music drifting out over the bay until sunrise. in recent years Calvi has reinvented itself as Corsica’s capital of culture. The town plays host to many music festivals during the summer including the jazz festival in June, “Calvi on the Rocks” in July, and the “Rencontres de Chants Polyphoniques” in september. an impressive art exhibition also takes place in the citadel from June to september. whether you are meandering along the old cobbled streets of the citadel or having a drink in a café on the Quai Landry, Calvi will leave you refreshed, inspired and eager to see more of this beautiful island.
The citadel itself is a magnificent backdrop for the red-tiled town below, with its palm tree-planted harbour and lively restaurants lining the Quai Landry, a promenade which links the marina and the port.

Beach: Rocks below the house, Calvi 1.8km
and a sauna in the en-suite bathroom. All the other bedrooms have their own en-suite facilities, as well as flat screen televisions for entertainment. For our more energetic guests there is a fitness room. This “grown-ups” villa has a state of the art kitchen and barbecue, which will make dining a pleasure.
Viewed from the spacious decked terrace, the sea seems to merge with the waters of the infinity swimming pool and most guests will be content to relax and take in the sight of passing boats from the comfort of one of the many sun loungers. Picture windows running the length of the spacious living room also make the most of this breathtaking view and some may find it hard to tear themselves away. With contemporary, stylish furnishings and modern décor, Cala di Mare is built into the rock, with accommodation set over two levels. The master bedroom of the villa is a private hideaway in itself, with its own terrace

introducing La Balagne
La Balagne Long favoured by the discerning British traveller, la Balagne is the perfect introduction to Corsica. From fabulous sandy beaches to honey-hued villages clinging to the side of the mountains and snow-capped peaks, this region is full of character and unspoilt natural beauty. Named after the islets that blush a deep russet red in the sunset, L’lle Rousse is a laid back seaside town with a central square, lively cafés, restaurants and ice cream parlours. With one of the warmest microclimates in Corsica, thanks to the sheltering Balagne hills that surround the town, and three gently shelving large sandy beaches in close proximity, L’lle Rousse is an ideal spot for a family holiday. Marine de Davia is an exclusive private estate of luxury villas, just four kilometres from the town of L’lle Rousse. With several fine sandy beaches, many houses are situated with direct access to the sea or “les pieds dans l’eau” as the French say, making this an ideal place for a quiet and relaxed villa holiday. As you follow the coastal road towards Calvi, you reach the charming little village of Algajola. With a long stretch of beach and a quaint village square, it is the ideal place to relax, unwind and dodge the crowds. The village is a real treasure, remaining calm and tranquil even in the height of the summer and the atmospheric citadel enhances its Corsican charm with tales of marauding pirates from medieval times.
Set in a privileged, perched position on the hillside with truly outstanding views out over the gulf towards Calvi, Lumio is a picturesque village with a private collection of attractive villas. Below the village, just a short drive away, are a number of delightful unspoilt beaches with silver sand and crystal clear water. Perched on the mountainside and towering above the sea, the fortress villages of la Balagne have changed little over the centuries and you will experience a way of life that is essentially Corsican. Village life is ideal for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in the charm and character whilst remaining just a short drive from the larger towns and amenities as well as the beautiful beaches in the region. The viewpoints are truly breathtaking, with narrow cobbled streets winding around pretty churches and small local cafés with a panoramic backdrop.

introducing st florent & the north east
St Florent & the North East
From the dramatic, mountainous Cap Corse and the magnificent, untamed Désert des Agriates, the northern heights sweep round to shelter the waterfront town of St Florent. Following the coast down beyond Bastia to the beaches of Costa Verde, this unspoilt region has a sheer diversity of landscapes. Less pretentious and more intimate than St Tropez, St Florent has long been a port of call for the Provençal jet set – it boasts an impressive flotilla of luxury yachts in the marina and an excellent choice of bars and restaurants lining the promenade. Founded by the Romans and later a flourishing medieval port under the rule of Genoa, St Florent has remained a small and unspoilt village. Stroll into the old town and discover a charming, timeless “quartier” of old houses, little shops, ice cream parlours and an almost permanent game of boules in the village square. Enjoy the buzz of St Florent from a distance and stay in one of our fantastic villas perched panoramically on the Fromentica hillside – our guests often tell us they simply can’t tear themselves away from the fabulous views of St Florent and its sweeping bay. There are a couple of sandy beaches close at hand but if you are looking to discover some of the best beaches on the island, head for Saleccia or Loto in the Désert des Agriates (by boat or on foot), you will be greeted with the renowned turquoise waters and long stretches of sand that usually one can only imagine. From St Florent, it is just a short drive to the delightful village of Patrimonio and the true heart of the area, the Conco d’Oro, with its fertile countryside that produces fine wines.
40km long and only 15 across, the rocky peninsula of Cap Corse offers some exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt stretches of coast. Villages perched on cliffs and secluded rocky inlets line the west, whilst tiny fishing ports and sandy coves fringe the east. With its intimate squares, old stone buildings and network of narrow streets leading down to the harbour, Erbalunga provides a sanctuary to those seeking a taste of authentic village life. In the summer months, the village is transformed into a cultural enclave with various exhibitions and concerts adding to the Corsican feel. Bastia is one of Corsica’s most successful commercial towns yet still keeps its charm and character. Cafés and bars line the quay on the Vieux Port, a good place to stop for lunch, and, if you are able to visit in the morning, the produce market is a must. South of Bastia is the Castagniccia region, a huge forest of chestnut trees and lushly carpeted valleys, dotted with quaint villages and renowned for its traditional cuisine. As you follow the winding mountain roads towards the sea, you will reach the Costa Verde – a 14km stretch of golden sand with Moriani Plage as its main resort.

introducing L’Extrême Sud
L’Extrême Sud Horseshoe bays of white sand and crystal blue waters, sophisticated resorts with a hint of Italian flair and breathtaking harbour towns perched precariously on white limestone; l’Extrême Sud is a dreamer’s paradise of sun and sea on the southernmost tip of Corsica. A chic cosmopolitan resort, Porto Vecchio is one of the most stylish and prestigious towns on the island. Sculptured on a dramatic hilltop and backed by the spearing needles of the Col de Bavella, this former Genoese port has kept its Corsican charm over the years. The ancient citadel forms the heart of the old town, surrounded by picturesque back streets filled with designer boutiques and vibrant restaurant terraces. Below the town, Porto Vecchio boasts one of the most distinguished harbours in Europe, where bobbing boats jockey from positions alongside sun kissed holidaymakers promenading the marina or sipping apéritifs in the shade of the pavement cafés. Overlooking the gulf of Porto Vecchio, the forest of l’Ospédale and the ragged pinnacles of Bavella boast some of the most stunning forest and mountain scenery on the island. With savage granite needles, towering trees, meandering streams and natural rock pools, the area forms part of Corsican Natural Park and is a real walker’s paradise. The dazzling beaches around Porto Vecchio are surrounded by wild perfumed maquis and fringed by umbrella pines. Although busy in the height of the summer season, you won’t be able to resist the beaches of Palombaggia or Santa Giulia, which rank amongst the most beautiful in Corsica. Palombaggia is perhaps the most famous beach on the island and
the most photographed. Internationally renowned, the clear turquoise water and pure white sand contrasts the fantastically shaped granite rocks. A few kilometres from Palombaggia lie the sweeping bay and calm shallow waters of Santa Giulia beach. Popular with water sports enthusiasts, here you’ll find facilities for a number of water-based activities, along with a selection of cafés and beach bars. At Corsica’s southernmost point and just a short hop from Sardinia, the fortress town of Bonifacio sits in an isolated location perched high on a limestone plateau. Mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, the precipitous white cliffs overhang the turquoise waters below and are honeycombed with old watery grottoes. Established in 833, the old town is rich in history with its dramatic citadel, ramparts and maze of narrow cobbled streets. The newer harbour has a more Italian flair with an abundance of cafés and restaurants dotted along the Quai Comparetti – the perfect spot to watch the yachts set sail. The most amazing view of the town and port can be seen from the sea, and throughout the day a flotilla of excursion boats can be seen heading out to the best vantage points, including the Lavezzi islands: a marine reserve and popular diving spot.

introducing valinco & the west coast
Valinco & the West Coast Fantastically sculpted by wind and sea over the years, the west coast is an area of extraordinary landscapes that will leave the most lasting impression… From picturesque sandy coves to astounding rugged cliffs, it offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Corsica. Stretching between the headlands of Capo di Muro and Campomoro, the Valinco is the most southerly of the four great bays indenting Corsica’s west coast. Here, Genoese watchtowers perch proudly over idyllic hidden coves and crystal clear bays, whilst maquis-covered hillsides and verdant mountains remain remarkably unspoilt. Laid-back seaside resorts enjoy a plethora of water sports and the charming authenticity of the mountain top villages beautifully enhances the spectacular views. The Valinco will certainly appeal to guests looking for a relaxing holiday in one of the most quintessentially Corsican corners of the island. With its array of tempting restaurants and buzzing café terraces lining the marina, Propriano is a popular resort oozing a real traditional feel and relaxed atmosphere – the perfect place to lounge, indulge yourself with a lazy lunch or simply watch the world go by. It is also an important departure point for boat trips and water sports. Inland from Propriano, sits the peaceful hamlet of Olmeto with charming arched passageways and magnificent fortified houses. Remaining close to the sea yet still retaining a quaint atmosphere, the village boasts unrivalled views across the hillside over to the coastline below.
curved sandy bay and a small number of bars and restaurants. From here, you can access rugged stretches of coast and secluded creeks – a paradise for walkers and pleasure boats. To the north of the gulf, you will find Olmeto Plage, Capicciolo and Abbartello dotted along the coast with picturesque coves of golden beaches fringed by rocks and lapped by exceptionally clear water. Further north, Porto Pollo is a quaint fishing village with a handful of restaurants and a good diving centre. The blood-red of les Iles Sanguinaires aflame at sunset and the sweeping silvery strands of beaches make the Ajaccio Gulf a real beauty. Corsica’s diminutive capital sparkles with a Mediterranean buzz, bustling squares and cafés on every corner with ample culture and many places that celebrate Corsica’s famous son – Napoléon Bonaparte. To the north, Porto and Piana claim to be situated in one of the most beautiful bays in the world, and there are few who would argue. The scenery surrounding the Porto Gulf is spectacular, with eroded red granite headlands plunging vertiginously into the calm waters below. Porto and Piana are both picturesque sleepy fishing villages offering superb viewpoints over the gulf and provide the ideal base for walkers.
Sitting at the tip of the gulf and crowned by the largest Genoese tower on the island, Campomoro is an idyllic little seaside resort with a perfectly

This tourVALINCO offers a real diversity of landscapes Porto Vecchio blending high peak mountains and breathtaking coastal scenery without L’EXTRÊME SUD the stress of packing every day. You can set your own rhythm on this holiday – venture out on circular walks from both Corte and Bonifacio Calvi or take a break from walking and spend a day or two on the Sardinia beach, the choice is yours. Highlights of the tour include the superb Tavignano gorges and its natural rock pools, the Restonica valley with its spectacular mountain lakes, the dramatic Revellata peninsular and notre dame de la serra set high above Calvi.
One of the most popular long-distance footpaths on the island, the Mare a Mare south trail crosses the rocky spine of the island between Porto vecchio Gulf and the valinco Gulf, taking in the full cross-section of Corsican landscapes from the deep blue inlets of the coast to the beautiful forests and high peaks of the Alta Rocca region.

Car hire We are pleased to work with Avis to offer a flexible and competitively priced car hire service in Corsica, including exclusive benefits for Corsican Places’ guests. With little public transport available, hiring a car is the best way to get out and about, giving you the freedom to explore the island of Corsica at your leisure. The majority of our package holidays include car hire and we have assigned different car grades and numbers of vehicles to accommodate all guests and their luggage. If your package holiday includes airport transfers, or if you have booked accommodation only and you wish to hire a car, prices are shown below. Our car prices are highly competitive and include benefits such as excess waivers against damage and theft (Super CDW, Super Theft Protection) and an additional driver, which are normally charged by other tour operators and hire car companies in Corsica.

Things to know before you go... access to accommodation Access to self-catering properties is from 4pm on the day of arrival, and on the day of departure the accommodation must be vacated by 10am. The owners and cleaners will need access without guests present, to ensure it is properly cleaned and ready for your holiday. advance passenger information (api) some airlines require us to collect Advance Passenger Information (API) for all passengers (including infants) flying to and from the UK. Before departure we require full given names and surname, nationality, travel document type, travel document number, document expiry date, issuing country and date of birth. These can be added via our website or by calling us – please note we cannot issue your travel documents without this information. air-conditioning and heating If air-conditioning or heating is available at a property, it is usually included in our holiday prices and listed within the property description. However, at a few properties air-conditioning may only be booked and paid for locally, if this is the case we will advise you at the time of booking. As part of our sustainable Tourism code we ask that air-conditioning should be used sensibly: windows and doors should be kept closed; the units should be turned off when guests leave the properties; and shutters and windows should be closed during the hottest part of the day to increase efficiency. barbecues If a property has a barbecue, it will be mentioned in the property description, and in Premium villas we also provide charcoal and lighters. As the heat of the summer months can provoke fires, please use barbecues sensibly and note that in some areas, barbecues are actually prohibited at certain times due to heightened fire risks.
156
building works Although minimal by Mediterranean standards, resorts will experience some building work from time to time and we will advise you prior to departure of any that we feel will impact on your holiday, as soon as we become aware. However, we are not always informed in advance of work carried out by third parties and have no control over their plans. We will endeavour to find alternative accommodation for you, although in some cases, particularly in high season, this may not be possible. Cleaning Our properties are cleaned for your arrival and bed linen, bath and hand towels are provided at the beginning of your stay. Premium villas are also cleaned mid-week. We provide each of our properties with general cleaning products and we ask guests to do a minimal clean to include cleaning of surfaces, cleaning barbecue, clearing perishable food away and disposing of all rubbish, leaving all crockery washed up and put away before they vacate their property. Failure to do so may incur a charge for the additional cleaning required, which can be expensive. Cots and highchairs Foldable highchairs and travel cots are provided free of charge in our self-catering properties if requested at time of booking. Cots are not supplied with linen so please remember to take your own. Cots and highchairs can also be requested for hotel bookings, please note a small supplement may apply. décor As properties are generally Corsican or French owned, the décor may reflect the local lifestyle and the owner’s taste. A dining table and chairs can be given more priority than comfortable indoor chairs, as this is more in keeping with a Mediterranean outdoor lifestyle. Floors are generally not carpeted and curtains are often decorative with shutters used to block out the light. simpler properties can have basic kitchen facilities so should you have any special requirements please let us know.
documentation, passports & visas Tickets and travel documentation are sent out 14 days prior to departure. For travel to Corsica you will need a valid passport for all members of your family. If you are nOT a citizen of the UK, Ireland, another eU country, switzerland, Canada or the UsA, you may also need a visa (please contact the French embassy for details). Please note we are also legally required to collect all passengers’ information before departure and tickets will not be issued without this – please refer to our Advance Passenger Information section for full details. flight times and delays Thanks to our convenient flight times you will arrive in Corsica at or before lunchtime and knock-on delays are rare. Occasionally, despite the best efforts of all concerned, flights are delayed for reasons beyond our control. In the event of a lengthy delay we always do our best to provide refreshments when appropriate. Airlines and flight times are sometimes subject to changes beyond our control, in which instance we will of course contact you as soon as we are advised.
The attention to detail from Corsican Places was amazing. We would not hesitate to use your company again, thank you for everything. Mrs Dixon - Guest
further information
Foreign & Commonwealth Office advice The Foreign & Commonwealth Office produces up-to-date travel information to help British travellers make informed decisions about travelling abroad. For more information please see Gov.uk/Foreign-travel-advice.
Inventory Each of our self-catering properties includes a minimum inventory to include such essentials as a kettle, iron and toaster. All larger electrical equipment e.g. television, washing machine etc are noted in the individual property descriptions.
Health and safety The welfare of our customers is our prime consideration and we are committed to raising the standards of health and safety in our properties and to continue to identify areas where safety can be improved. General safety regulations do vary from country to country and are often less stringent than those that we have come to expect in the UK. Each property is unique and may have staircases, steps or drops and it is therefore important to be safety conscious. If you have any particular needs or concerns please let us know at the time of booking
Internet access Internet access has become an increasingly important feature for our guests and as a result, more properties are now equipped with Wi-Fi – this facility is indicated in the property guide or on the individual property descriptions. Please note Internet coverage and speed of connection may differ from the one you have at home, and may at times be limited or unavailable as a result of issues with the local network, which is out of the control of the owners and ourselves. There are also a large number of cafés and restaurants across the island offering free internet access.
Holiday questionnaire To assist us in ensuring standards are maintained and to help us improve our service, we should be most grateful if you would take the time to complete our questionnaire online or fill in the one sent with your tickets and return it to us by post. You will also have the opportunity to leave your feedback on FEEFO (an independent review body), and which may be featured on our website. Hotels Hotels in Corsica are graded under the French star rating system. Breakfasts are often served (not buffet style) and are mostly continental with croissants, bread, jam and coffee. Please note half board menus are often set with less choice than a restaurant and tea and coffee making facilities are not generally available in the rooms. Hotel room check-in The standard international practice is to let hotel rooms from midday to midday, however times do vary. Check-in times are usually between 2pm and 3pm, check-out times between 11am and 12 noon on the day of departure.
Language Although the official language in Corsica is French, Corsican has always been recognised as an official regional language and is frequently used by the locals. You will also spot that the road signs are in Corsican as well as in French. Linen In self-catering properties bed linen, bath and hand towels are provided on a weekly basis, and in most properties guests can expect beds to be made up on arrival. Beach towels are also provided in our Premium villas. For flight-inclusive bookings, beds will be made corresponding to the number of guests on the reservation – however please advise us before departure of any other requirements. Please note that for multiple week stays, clean linen will be delivered each weekend but the beds will not be made up, except in our Premium villas. Please note cot linen is not provided.
Local life When our guests are on holiday the local population will be going about their daily business: rural or village properties may have farming activities, hunting or festivals going on nearby, over which we have no control. In villages and more rural areas there may be wild dogs and cats that wander around, guests are encouraged not to feed them as this will attract them to return to the property. Money As part of France, Corsica’s currency is the Euro, which has fluctuated against Sterling over the last few years. Credit/debit card payments are widely accepted but you should be aware that small shops outside the main towns might prefer cash. Few banks in Corsica accept traveller’s cheques and even fewer accept Sterling. A holiday to Corsica may cost more than to some other islands in the Mediterranean, however with higher prices come fewer tourists and less development, which means it has retained its charm and unspoilt nature. Once on holiday you will find a reasonable 3 course menu in most towns for around €25 (approx £22). Supermarkets offer a wide range of goods although you may find those not produced locally are more expensive than in the UK. Occupancy All guests must be named on the booking; please advise us beforehand if you are planning to have additional friends or family joining you – a supplement for extra linen and additional cleaning may be required. Any occupant whose name does not appear on the invoice will be charged locally. Maximum occupancy cannot be exceeded as the properties are only insured for a certain number of guests. Prices and surcharges Our prices are calculated using the exchange rate of £1 = €1.18 and are also based on the cost of fuel as of 19th September 2013. If the value of the Euro or the cost of fuel rise, then unfortunately we may need to introduce a surcharge to cover the increased costs to us. In the event of any other security costs or taxes being levied, there may also be an increase in prices printed in this brochure, please see section 12 of our Fair Trading Charter for more details. Requests If you have any requests for your holiday accommodation or flights, please ensure they are requested at the time of booking; we will do our utmost but a request cannot be guaranteed. If additional items or services are requested that are not advertised, please be aware that we will not have inspected these facilities.

Resort facilities We try to portray our holidays to represent the majority of the season – during early and late season some resort facilities may be closed and in high season even the quietest towns and beaches may become busy. Rooms Rooms in our individual properties differ and guests should note that no rooms are the same in terms of décor, style, size and position. Master bedrooms are considered superior to other bedrooms, so when choosing a property for a group of friends it’s best to agree who will have the master suite before arrival.
A very good holiday and all the booking arrangements went like clockwork. Mr Thorogood - Guest
Security deposit Some property owners require a security deposit to be paid in Euros on arrival to cover any losses, damages, breakages or extra cleaning which may occur. If the property you have chosen requires a local deposit you will be advised of the amount at the time of booking. For other self-catering properties you may be required to pay a security deposit in the UK, again we will advise at the booking stage. We ask guests to care for their holiday accommodation as if it were their own home and we require all guests to accept our travel insurance (which covers for some material damages) or make similar arrangements. Smoking We have a no smoking policy in all of our accommodation and it is also forbidden to smoke in hired vehicles. Just as in the UK, a smoking ban in all public areas is in place across France. Swimming pools Swimming pool details such as size, shape and depth (where known) are given in the facilities section for each property, please refer to each property or call our team if you require further information and we will check with the owner. All pools have a security system in place: either an alarm, fence or cover as required by French law, but children should be supervised at all times. Pools are generally unheated in Corsica and are maintained and cleaned during your stay, although during high winds debris can appear in an otherwise clean pool. Weather permitting, pools are open from the start of May to the beginning of October. Telephones As mobile phone coverage is very good in Corsica, with the exception of some more remote or mountainous areas, most properties no longer require a landline. If you intend to use your mobile phone abroad please ensure that it is registered for international use. Television Corsican television signal broadcasting was recently converted to digital and as a result the quality of reception has been significantly improved. However, unless the property is equipped with a satellite decoder box and is subscribed to a superior service, there will be no English language channels. Villa maintenance Staff at some properties live on site and tend to the grounds and pool. We ask our guests to allow them reasonable access to the property and grounds so these can be kept in good order.

Welcome packs Most of our self-catering properties are provided with a welcome pack including basic provisions such as tea, coffee, UHT milk, water, fruit juice, crackers, a selection of cheese, charcuterie and fresh olives and a bottle of wine. Premium villas have a superior pack including sparkling wine, beer, eggs, bread and a selection of fruit. There are usually a few shops open on a Sunday and these will be listed on your travel details or advised by your representatives on your arrival. Wildlife Corsica is a very natural and undeveloped island, and in country houses animals, birds and insects may be present around the house and occasionally living in inaccessible areas such as eaves and roof spaces; mice and other field animals may also find their way into houses. Mosquitoes, ants and other insects are quite common in the warmer climates and we strongly advise guests not to leave any food uncovered, to deter stray rodents and animals.

1. YOUR HOlidaY bOOKinG When making a booking you must be aged over 18 years and have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. All correspondence and documents are sent to the party leader who is responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. The contract is made on the terms of the information in this brochure, the details set out in the confirmation invoice. We agree that the courts of england and Wales have jurisdiction and english Law applies (unless you live in scotland or northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under scottish or northern Irish law, as applicable). Our confirmation invoice is our acceptance of the booking (as detailed therein), and the contract is made on its issue. We ask you to check the details and any anomaly should be reported to us or your travel agent immediately otherwise the details shown on the confirmation will be presumed to be correct. Certain components of a package are on request and subject to availability and therefore quotations should not be considered binding until the first confirmation invoice is received. All holidays and offers published in this brochure are subject to availability at the time of booking. 2. paYMent If you wish to confirm a booking you must pay the deposit of 20% of the balance of your holiday. Your final payment will be detailed on your invoice and must be paid in full no later than 8 weeks before your departure, or your booking may be deemed cancelled and your deposits retained. In the event we need to book and pay for your flight at the time of booking, you will be quoted the cost of this before confirming your holiday and asked to pay for this sector in full, along with your deposit. It is at this time you will be advised whether the flight cost is non-refundable. If payment for your holiday is made by credit card a handling fee, currently 2% will be levied.

The charges above apply to your total holiday price excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges or charges for goods sold and dispatched. Please note that charges may be higher than those shown where your travel arrangements have been confirmed to you as “non-refundable”. The conditions of your travel insurance policy may allow a refund claim. Note: if any members of your party cancel, but the others still wish to travel, it may be necessary to re-calculate the cost per person based on the new party size as the accommodation will now be under-occupied. This may result in an increased amount per person payable to secure the original booking. 4. aCCURaCY and infORMatiOn We have taken all care to ensure the information shown in this brochure is accurate. Incidental information (e.g. relating to local events or markets etc) is offered in good faith and we therefore ask that should this be important to you, you check the details independently. 5. CHaRGes fOR nOn-inClUsive HOtel iteMs and daMaGes You enter into a separate contract with the hotel or residence for these items (e.g. parking, bar bills etc.), and agree to pay locally for any charges for items or services used by your party and not included in your holiday price. The accommodation we arrange for you can only be used by those people named on your invoice. You are not allowed to share the accommodation with anyone else or let anyone else stay there.
6. if YOU ReQUest a CHanGe tO YOUR bOOKinG All amendments to your booking, e.g. name changes, dates of travel or accommodation, will incur a charge, the amount of which will depend on the nature of the change and the time before the date of travel. This is in addition to any carriers’ alteration or cancellation fees as certain travel arrangements (e.g. the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets) cannot be changed after a booking has been confirmed and any request to do so is likely to incur a 100% cancellation charge. Note: Any changes made within 8 weeks of departure may be treated as cancellations and re-bookings. 7. if YOU bOOK tHROUGH a tRavel aGent We will assume that in dealing with us the agent is acting on your behalf. All monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on our behalf at all times. 8. if We CHanGe YOUR HOlidaY Although it is unlikely, we may occasionally have to change your holiday arrangements and we reserve the right to change or cancel your booking. Most changes are minor and we will always endeavour to advise you or your travel agent of any such changes at the earliest possible date. Note: Any amendment or cancellation fees you incur in terms of other arrangements you have made with other providers under separate contracts are not claimable from us. package Holiday & flight Only: A change of airline, aircraft type, overseas airport of destination, travel timings by 12 hours or less and accommodation of a similar or higher standard in the same resort or region are classed as minor changes which do not entitle you to cancel or change to another holiday without paying our normal administration charges, and for which no compensation or refund is due. In accordance with eU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used as follows: Titan Airways, Flybe, easyjet and BMI Regional. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. The carrier may occasionally have to change the type of aircraft used on a particular flight without advance warning. In such circumstances where you have booked and paid an additional seat supplement and such seat cannot be provided, then you will receive only a refund of the supplement paid. Occasionally, we have to make major changes to your travel arrangements or accommodation. A major change is a change made before departure, which, on the basis of the information given to us by you at the time of booking we can reasonably expect will have a major effect on your holiday. The following changes are examples of major changes: changing travel times by over 12 hours, your UK departure airport (excluding London airports), your holiday region, a change to a lower standard or type of accommodation or reducing the number of days’ holiday. If we have to make a major change or cancel your holiday we will tell you as soon as possible. Where possible, we will offer the following options: you can either a) accept the changed arrangements b) purchase another holiday from us at the advertised current selling price or c) cancel your booking upon which we will refund your monies in full and final settlement.

It is unreasonable for you to take little or no action whilst on holiday and wait until you return to complain, and you must take reasonable steps to minimise the consequences of the problem. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. If a problem cannot be resolved locally you should complete and sign a Guest Comment form in resort, setting out the details of the problem. This should be handed to your representative who will give you a copy; it is essential that you also report the problem to any supplier of the service you are complaining about.

Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of [3] times the cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices: serenity Holidays Ltd, Atlantic House, 3600 Parkway, solent Business Park, Fareham, Hampshire PO15 7An We do not accept liability for happenings or actions outside our control, e.g. delays to travel services, the temporary invasion of pests, the presence of indigenous animals or insects, government action, industrial disputes, damage or inconvenience resulting from the weather (e.g. drought conditions) or from acts of God, or your party’s negligence resulting in loss or accident. If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected
with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances. If you have taken our recommended insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose, and if you have taken alternative insurance, you must do likewise under any Legal expenses cover provided by it. You must also provide us with the confirmation from the insurance company of receipt of your notification to them of your claim. excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator. accommodation Only: We have a duty to select the accommodation providers with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the accommodation, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the provider with reasonable care and skill, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens at the accommodation or any acts or omissions of the provider or others. We also have no liability in the following situations: i.) where the accommodation cannot be provided as booked due to circumstances beyond our control (see the note in clause 8) ii.) where you incur any loss or damage that could not have been foreseen at the time of your booking, based on the information provided by you. iii.) where you incur any loss or damage that relates to any business activity. iv.) where any loss or damage relates to any services which do not form part of our contract with you. If we are found liable to you on any basis, we limit the amount we have to pay you to a maximum of three times the cost of your accommodation. This limit does not apply to cases involving death or injury. 11. YOUR RespOnsibilitY You undertake to exercise due and reasonable care in respect of your holiday accommodation and its contents, to leave it in a clean and complete condition, to respect local and on-site regulations and bye-laws, to limit party numbers to those on your confirmation, to remit payments as invoiced on or before the due dates, to indemnify us against all loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from any act, default or omission of your party, and not to exceed the published occupation capacity of the accommodation. Any serious abuse of a property or its contents may render you liable to eviction without compensation. 12. pRiCes and sURCHaRGes The price of your holiday was calculated using the exchange rate of £1 = €1.18 on the 19th september 2013. We reserve the right to increase or reduce prices, and the current price of your holiday will be advised to you at the time of booking. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of all the information and prices provided to you, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. In the event that an incorrect price has been given in error, any booking made based on this price, will not be valid. You will be advised of the mistake at the earliest opportunity and you will then have the option either to pay the correct price for the travel arrangements or to cancel and receive a full refund of any monies you may already have paid. Once you have booked your holiday we reserve the right to surcharge for cost increases due to government action such as changes in vAT or any other government imposed charges, transportation costs (including the cost of fuel), taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes, embarkation or disembarkation fees at airports, and exchange rates. package Holidays There will be no charge within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb such increases up to 2% of your basic holiday price (excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges).

However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes will have no impact on the price of your holiday due to contractual and other protection in place. accommodation and flight Only We reserve the right to pass on all increases. If we ask you to pay us any increases in taxes, similarly, if any taxes you have paid to us are reduced or abolished, you will be entitled to claim a refund. such right shall not apply in respect of any surcharge paid in respect of aviation fuel costs.

13. tRavel seRviCes When you travel by air the relevant carrier’s ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to your journey, some of which may limit liability or exclude liability in accordance with the relevant international conventions. Copies of the conditions are available for inspection at any ABTA travel agent. Information given by us about such services is for guidance only and the carriers concerned accept no responsibility for our brochures. It is your responsibility to report promptly at the check-in times given by the carriers and with the appropriate valid travel documents (e.g. Passports), and we cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred by you if you fail to do so. Occasionally there are times beyond our control when a flight is delayed. We will work closely with the airline and our resort office to make sure any delay is as short as possible and that your overseas transfer and accommodation arrangements are changed if necessary. Our aim is to minimise the inconvenience of delays as far as possible. Under eU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delays to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at eU airports and will also be available from airlines. Please note that reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 8 ‘if we change your holiday’. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Passengers Advice and Complaints team at the CAA (email: passengercomplaints@caa.co.uk website www.caa.co.uk). In March 2006 the european Commission published a list of airlines considered to be unsafe and which are therefore not permitted to fly passengers or Cargo in the eU or operate within the european airspace. This list is updated every three months and can be viewed by clicking on the website for the european Commission http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm. Alternatively, should you wish to be sent a copy of the list, please contact us either by telephone or in writing. 14. tRavel insURanCe You agree to our requirement: at the time of booking your holiday you either accept our travel insurance or you or your travel agent make immediate alternative arrangements with cover at least to our own policy. 15. pHOtOGRapHs General and unlabelled pictures are understood to illustrate a feature, the region, or the country, and not to have any specific connection with any accommodation shown on the same or other pages. The furnishings and design of a specific room type may differ to those shown in photographs. 16. YOUR HealtH abROad eU visitors to other eU countries are entitled to receive medical treatment under the state service providing they have a european Health Insurance Card (please be aware that this card may not cover all the costs involved). At the time of publication, there are no special health precautions recommended but for up to date information you should contact the department of Health. We strongly recommend you take out personal travel insurance with adequate health cover to ensure you are fully protected should you become ill. 17. sWiMMinG pOOls and OtHeR faCilities Where a swimming pool or other facility is referred to as being available for use, such availability is at the hotelier’s discretion and is understood to be conditional upon temporary or unavoidable closure necessitated by: the hotels essential maintenance programme, accident, damage or malfunction of equipment, and in the case of swimming pools: compliance with any water conservation regulations imposed in times of drought, damage or malfunction of the mains water supply. 18. aRbitRatiOn In the unlikely event that a complaint cannot be settled amicably between us, you may if you wish refer the matter to arbitration under a special scheme, which, though devised by arrangement with ABTA is administered quite independently (details on request or from the ABTA website www.abta.com). This is a simple method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted cost liability to the customer. The rules of the scheme provide that the application for arbitration must be made within eighteen months of the date of return from the holiday but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside of this period. The scheme does not apply to claims over £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking, nor to claims mainly or solely in respect of injury or illness or their consequences. Alternatively, AITO’s Independent dispute settlement service may be called upon by either side to bring the matter to a speedy and amicable solution. 19. passpORt/visa It is the responsibility of all customers to ensure they have a valid passport, and any required visa. For further information on passport and visa requirements, please contact the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at www.fco.gov.uk. 20. HOlidaY paRtiCipatiOn should anyone be refused admission to the flight or to the destination country by the airline or government authority due to the correct documentation not being in order then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible. Any passengers considered being unacceptably under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be denied boarding to the aircraft or entry into the country. In these circumstances we shall consider the customer as having given notice of cancellation and be under no liability for any costs or charges incurred as a result of our doing so.
