Gites in Calvi
Discover Calvi: citadel, sandy beach, turquoise waters and the villages of Balagne. A stay between sea and mountains, nature, culture and the Corsican art of living.
As soon as you arrive, you are drawn to the imposing silhouette of the Genoese citadel, the town's thousand-year-old guardian. As you walk through the citadel, you are immersed in a rich history of sailors, navigators and legends. The ochre-coloured houses bathed in sunlight, the secret squares and the ramparts overlooking the sea make up a unique setting, full of authenticity and charm.
At the foot of the citadel stretches one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica: a long ribbon of golden sand bordered by umbrella pines, where the shallow waters take on turquoise hues worthy of distant lagoons. Here you can relax, take part in water sports or simply enjoy the gentle Corsican sunshine that envelops the bay in incomparable light. At sunset, the spectacle becomes magical: the mountains turn golden, the sand turns pink, and the sea is transformed into a mirror of fire.
But Calvi is more than just its legendary beach. The town pulsates with life in its elegant and lively marina, lined with terraces where you can enjoy homemade ice cream, fresh fish, Balagne wines or cocktails to the rhythm of the summer evenings. The seafront, lively but never oppressive, is an invitation to stroll, meet people and enjoy the Corsican dolce vita.
The inland areas reveal another facet of the region. The villages of Balagne, often referred to as perched villages, offer a journey back in time: Sant'Antonino, Pigna, Lumio, Monticello... all names that sound like invitations to discover a preserved heritage. Discover passionate craftsmen, cobbled streets, Baroque churches and endless panoramas of the sea. Hiking on ridges, century-old mule tracks, olive orchards and the scent of fig trees: the Calvais hinterland is a veritable jewel case of nature.
Adventure lovers and those who prefer a gentler pace will find Calvi an ideal playground. Diving in a protected marine reserve, paddle-boarding at sunrise, boat trips to the Revellata, wine-tasting at the wineries, horse-riding along the water's edge... every day can become a discovery, a moment suspended in time.
And then there's the unique atmosphere for which Calvi is renowned: a subtle blend of elegance, authenticity and friendliness. Here, visitors are never simply tourists; they become guests, invited to share traditions, flavours, history and a profoundly Mediterranean art of living.
Choosing Calvi means choosing a bright, lively and unforgettable destination.
Calvi isn't just a holiday destination.
It's an emotion, a revelation, a desire to come back... again and again.
