The Area

Fontana is located in the southeast of Corsica, just a few kilometres south of Porto Vecchio, one of the islands most charming towns. Just a few minutes' drive below the villa are some splendid beaches, including the long expanses of white sand and shallow, crystalline waters of Palombaggia and Tamaricciu. A few minutes more in the car heading south and you will arrive at the glorious semi-circular bay and beach of Santa Giulia.

Nearby Porto Vecchio offers a great deal, including a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants and a nice old town centre looking over the large natural harbour.

30km south of Fontana is beautiful 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. Meanwhile, just over an hour's drive west is the panoramically positioned, medieval town of Sartène, whose pretty labyrinth of streets gives an idea of Corsican life away from the coastline.

Further afield 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.

An illustration of a guest book

Fontana is a great villa. What stood out was the upper floor, the pool and the view. Also, the location is perfect to explore the south corner of Corsica! For us as family it was a perfect spot. Corsica is a lovely island with outstanding beaches and food. Our stay was all very well organized, local support including. It was our first time in Corsica, but definitely not or last visit. For sure I will check out Thinking Travellers next time we plan vacations.

We would return to Fontana for the location and the setting. It is a villa with a view.

The overall experience is excellent. We travelled two times with The Thinking Traveller to the Mediterranean and it was a guarantee for a relaxing and in every respect successful holiday. We look forward to the next booking and recommended it very much.

Fontana was perfect. I will definitely be using The Thinking Traveller again.

The website photos gave an accurate representation of Fontana. The view from the terrace was actually better than in the photos so a bonus!
