Porto-Vecchio is an old port town on the French island of Corsica, the history of which dates back to the 16th century. The northern part of the town is home to circular citadels built to stem attacks by the Barbary pirates, and something about the corsairs that sailed through these waters appeals to the adventurer in me. This old town offers visitors plenty of things to do; narrow streets are perched with shops, restaurants, bars, along with the main square; Place de la République. Perhaps the most famous beach here is Palombaggia, a stretch of sand lined with trees, one of which is a pine tree. Kite surfing, canyoning, windsurfing, kayaking, and mountain biking are popular activities here, and I’m pretty sure windsurfing along the azure waves will be a memory I won’t ever forget.

1. Gorgeous studio cabin on a slope
Look forward to a stay in the peaceful Corsican countryside at this rental and admire the gentle hills and sunny meadows of this Mediterranean island. Compact and cute with 20 sq m (215.28 sq. ft.) to call home, this comfy cabin comes with its own kitchenette and shower. The terrace is also spacious, providing a sunny deck for sitting, dining, and basking under the sun.
I always enjoy a beach adventure, and with how the rental is set up with beach towels, blankets, and snorkelling gear, I’m pretty sure I’ll have an easy time letting loose. Those renting a car can also take advantage of the EV charger found on site.

2. Sunny apartment with an incredible view (from USD 63)
Gaze longingly at the beautiful Corsican hills and mountains from this wonderful apartment’s terrace. Start your day at this spot with a breezy breakfast, or spend a lazy afternoon with a book and a bottle of local wine. On warm days, you can keep cool indoors with the help of air conditioning. Those renting a car or bike can stow the vehicle in the private parking area, but do note the building does not have an elevator so you’ll have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to this rental on the third floor. An alternative way of getting around is by taking the bus, though the bus station is a 10-minute walk from the property.
With how close central Porto-Vecchio, and especially the port, are to the property, I can imagine myself just renting a charter boat and sailing out into the sunset on the spur of the moment.
