Holidays in Borgo

An introduction to Borgo

Holidays in Borgo are made for anyone who loves unpressurised pottering. A quiet district on the outskirts of Bastia, this restful area is largely composed of villas, so it's made for basking by the pool, wallowing in the summer sunshine and just taking your time.

Self-catering holidays being the order of the day in Borgo, most people enjoy a breakfast of fresh coffee and pastries on their villa terrace before heading into Bastia to shop and explore its delightful old quarter. The charismatic, haphazard streets reveal extravagant Baroque churches, lofty houses and pavement cafes, whilst elsewhere, medieval fortresses, fascinating museums and lively bars beckon you in. And around the honey-coloured harbourside, restaurants filled with pastis-drinking locals serve specialities like the island's own version of bouillabaisse around the boat-filled waters – the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or lingering, sociable supper.

But holidays in Borgo aren't all about Bastia. Corsica's exquisite beaches and countryside merit lots of time. When you tire of your book and the pool, take off for the blissful sands at L'Arinella washed by jade-green waters. Or just go wherever you feel, visiting the romantic fishing villages and rugged shores of Cap Corse or following the idyllic walking trails through the forests and mountains of Corsica's spectacular interior.
