Holiday Rentals in Corse du Sud - A Guide to Corse du Sud
Your Corse du Sud holiday rental can be found in the southern part of the island of Corsica. Corsica lies off the south east coast of mainland France and is surrounded by the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. To the north of Corse du Sud is the departement of Haute Corse. It is a perfect place for a holiday destination given its mountain ranges and sandy beaches.
In order to reach your holiday rental in Corse du Sud, you can fly direct from the UK into Ajaccio (the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte) or Bastia to the north. It is advisable to hire a car when you arrive in order to best explore the area – public transport is somewhat limited. Ferries leave Marseilles, Toulon and Nice on the French mainland for Ajaccio regularly.
