Alivi sits just a short stroll from the lovely sandy beaches and sheltered bays of Corsica's south coast, near Pianottoli. The nearest beach is an easily walkable 650m away. About 20km to the southeast is Bonifacio, one of Corsica's most dramatically positioned and picturesque towns. Teetering perilously on a high cliff above the sea it offers sublime views over to Sardinia and a great selection of restaurants and bars.
Less than an hour's drive northwest is the panoramically positioned, medieval town of Sartène, whose pretty labyrinth of streets gives an idea of Corsican life away from the coastline.
Heading up the east coast one comes to a series of delightful beaches, including those of Santa Giulia, Tamaricciu and Palombaggia, and Porto Vecchio, another of Corsica's many charming towns offering a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants and a nice old town centre looking over the large natural harbour.
Further afield on the west coast is the island's capital, Ajaccio, which is well worth a visit, not least so you can say that you've been to the birthplace of the great Napoleon.
If there is one thing Corsica is known for, it is its beautiful and plentiful hiking trails. This is a unique opportunity to discover some of the most beautiful off-the-beaten-track hiking trails in Corsica, accompanied by an English-speaking guide who grew up in the region.
DiscoverExploring the beautiful coast of southern Corsica by boat is an unforgettable experience. Myriad idyllic coves only accessible by water, magnificent cliffs, transparent waters, hidden sandy bays, stunning views of coastal towns… all this awaits anyone who hires a boat – with or without skipper – for a day or two.

Brilliant location, well equipped villa, nice pool and BBQ area. From the open-concept kitchen and living space to the large shaded terrace, there is plenty of room at Alivi for the whole family to enjoy. Overall it is a very nice villa either for a family of 4-5 people, or for a group of friends.
