Going to Corsica the 22/29 of August. Where do you recommend staying? Romantic boutique hotels a plus!?

It really depends on where you plan to stay. If you are to visit mostly the cities (Ajaccio, Bastia), staying in hotels may be fine.





But I would strongly recommend to try to find self catering accomodation or a bed and breakfast.





These have several advantages on hotels:


- they are generally of a better value. A very good B%26amp;B will be priced as an average hotel room


- being with the locals. Corsica is an island of many small villages where there are no hotels. A B%26amp;B in such a village will be far quieter and have more charm than a hotel in Ajaccio.





The one disadvantage, especially as you are planning your trip late, is that self catering appartments and Bed and Breakfast are generally quite crowded in Summer and that they adjust their prices accordingly. You may have to search a long time to find a room.

It's a wonderful choise.Corsica is named ';The island of beauty'; and is really gorgeous there.I suggest you hotel Fesh just in the centre of Ajaccio (the capital of the island) and from here during a week you will see a lot of beauties.Trust me, it will be a very nice trip and I'll expect your oppinion after your return.Bon voyage!
