Calvi Pool Villas On The French Island - Corsica

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

We entered Bastia by boat after a restless night in a cheap Italian hotel that we shared with myriads of cockroaches.

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

For 3 weeks we slept in a two-person 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 bronzed by the sun, slimmed & full of spirit and inspiration.

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

Did I point out the beaches? They are long, white, alluring & very clean. Furthermore the breeze makes even the hottest month bearable by the seaside, as long as you shelter 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 observe the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop fashionable clothes in the ancient part of the town, eat scrumptious 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 go horse-riding , hike, walk the mountains & even play golf.

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

At the end of June each year The Calvi Jazz Festival attracts big names from the Jazz scene and you can be present at concerts in the Citadel and 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 hope you have a phenomenal trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - & whether you select a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am convinced you will appreciate the charming town and the aesthetically appealing surroundings.
