The Hotel Guru’s guide to the towns and neighbourhoods of Corsica will help you choose where to stay. First-time visitors might like Porto Vecchio in the south, for its lively atmosphere and white sand beaches.

Picturesque Lumio is similarly rich in views, but in historic architecture too. Bastia is a good choice for a city break: it’s got the plenty of landmarks, but it’s also a living city. Saint-Florent is close to the beach, and Corsica’s vineyard region. While Sartene is our historic pick.
