Corsica was not on top of our list when we set about planning our summer holiday. It’s not a popular family destination and there are reasons for that: flights to Corsica are few, the family resorts are  pricey and roads on the island can make even the bravest think twice before setting off in a car.

I and my husband went there in 2007 for our honeymoon and we spent the most wonderful two weeks, but travelling with a 3 yr old is a completely different proposition.

Or so we thought before we found a pretty villa tucked in the mountains in western Corsica and fell in love with the idea of spending a week there. Our villa, set in the Bay of Valinco held promises of a relaxing family holiday lounging by the pool, exploring the nearby fishing town of Propriano or bathing on pristine beaches.

Getting to Corsica required careful planning. Although British Airways flies to Corsica, a 6 am start from Gatwick didn’t appeal much. So we decided to fly to Nice first and then take an internal flight to Ajaccio (Air France flies every day and prices are quite reasonable).

This meant we could spend a few days in the south of France getting to know the glamorous bit of the French Riviera.

When we finally got to Corsica we were already feeling rested and relaxed and ready for the more adventurous bit of our trip. The first challenge to overcome was the trip to our villa on winding mountainous roads. It was only 60 km but took us over one and a half hours. Thankfully my daughter had a nap throughout and missed the worst part.

Our ride was well worth it when we saw the spectacular Bay of Vallinco with its breathtaking views.

We fell in love with the place – it was peaceful, beautiful and serene – one of the few remaining corners of the Med left untouched by mass tourism.

We had a fantastic stay which we’ll remember for years to come. Here is what we learnt and wanted to share in case you decide to head that way any time soon:

Travelling around – the Bay of Valinco is spectacular with a string of fishing villages to explore: Campomoro, Tizzano, Filitosa (don’t miss the ancient stone menhirs dating back to 3500 BC).

Word of caution: roads are very mountainous and can be testing even for experienced drivers. Avoid if your kids get motion sickness.

Do you speak French? Well if you don’t, you’d better make an effort to learn a few words and stack up on patience as the locals are not keen on speaking any other languages but French.

What Internet?  Internet is not a given in Corsica, so if you are counting on checking on your emails regularly, find a nearby hotel with free broadband connection (we stopped by the Lido every once in a while)

Food – avoid the main tourist strip alongside the Propriano marina. It’s worth exploring the restaurants further down the beach.

We came across some excellent spots with fresh seafood – Oasis was our firm favourite!

Relax and enjoy – life is going at a slower pace in Corsica and nothing happens in the  early afternoon when shops and a lot of restaurants break for a siesta.

It took us a couple of days to get used to, but once we did we had the most enjoyable time!
