Holidays in Corte

An introduction to Corte

If you love the outdoors mixed with culture and history, think about holidays to Corte. This magical town is Corsica's hill capital and worth much more than a passing-through day trip.

Perched amid central Corsica's jagged peaks, it's a spectacularly located university town crowned by a magnificent citadel with an incredible eagle's nest lookout. In the streets below, winding alleyways, vibrant markets, pavement cafes and sophisticated restaurants tempt from every corner, so you can idle away days simply browsing and pottering. But the biggest highlights of Corte holidays are still to come. Once you're done feasting on Corsica's rustic mountain fare, people-watching and picking up trinkets as souvenirs, tour the Citadel with its fascinating museum and thrilling views.

Then there are the mountains. All around, trails snake through breathtaking peaks and high gorges, tempting you into your hiking boots. And Corte holidays have plenty to please reluctant walkers. Catch the train to picturesque Calvi and Bastia or explore the peaceful valleys of the Balagne or Castagniccia by car – they're all practically on the doorstep.

Outdoor-type couples will love Corte and Thomson have the perfect property: the Hotel Dominique Colonna has everything the two of you could want. Whether you're looking for a last-minute, short bargain holiday or a summer's fortnight in Corte, prepare for a feast for the senses … in every sense.
