Calvi Holiday Rentals In Beautiful Corsica

By train through Europe, via Florence to Livorno at the Italian seaboard, covered quite a length, and filled the brain with continual visual impressions and food for thoughts.

We arrived in Bastia by boat after a sleepless night in a budget Italian hotel that we shared with myriads of cockroaches.

Driving across the Island from Bastia to Calvi lurked out the right holiday mood. The sweet scent of lavender sneaked in through the open windows and welcomed us to this beautiful island.

For three weeks we stayed in a tiny tent in walking distance from the beach. We lived essentially on flutes & raw vegetables, spend the days bathing and sunbathing and dancing the nights away in Calvi.

We went back home a month later suntanned, slimmed and full of energy & inspiration.

Having tried a vacation on the cheap makes it so much easier to acknowledge the advantages of renting a Calvi villa for a family holiday. Many of the rental villas in Calvi has private pool and are very comfortable and tastefully furnished.

Did I mention the beaches? They are long, white, irresistible and wonderfully clean. Furthermore the breeze makes even the hottest month bearable by the seaside, as long as you give protection to your head from the constant roasting sun. A cotton hat, that you can dip in the sea regularly, keeps your head cooled off. There is much to be said for a Calvi Beach Holiday !

Calvi has no more than 6000 inhabitants. It is located on the North-West coast of the island - 59 km from Bastia. The town has ferry connections with the French mainland (Marseille, Nice, and Toulon) and luxurious yachts visit the harbor. Calvi is a charming old fishing town and fishing is still of some importance, even though tourism is now the big earner.

You will not be bored with Calvi. You can watch the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop trendy clothes in the old part of the town, eat mouthwatering dinners at the various restaurants or drop in on the piano bar in the magnificent Citadel for live music.

Water sport is not in short supply in the area and in Corsica as a whole you can ride horses, hike, walk the mountains and even play golf.

From June to September the Citadel houses art exhibitions by professional local artists from across the whole island of Corsica..

In late June The Calvi Jazz Festival attracts celebrities from the Jazz scene and you can be present at concerts in the Citadel & jam sessions on the Quay Landry.

"Calvi On The Rocks" takes place every year in July. It consists of electronic music and a digital arts festival with nightly concert in the Citadel.

I wish you a fantastic trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - and whether you decide on a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am convinced you will take pleasure in the charming town and the aesthetically appealing surroundings.
