Mountains & Villages of Corsica

All transport and listed activities

Stay at Hotel de la Paix, a family-run hotel with 62 rooms, a bar and TV lounge. It occupies a large stone building constructed by the Casanova family in 1932, though it’s now the Lanoir family who provide the warm welcome.

We stay in superior rooms, which include a balcony, air conditioning, a hairdryer and a bathtub, and eat dinner at the nearby restaurant, U Passa Tempu, which serves traditional local dishes, such as Corsican charcuterie, cannelloni with brocciu (Corsican cheese) and sautéed veal with olives.

Worth knowing

The hotel provides packed lunches in cardboard boxes, please bring a reusable container to reduce waste.

The trip includes all breakfasts, five picnic lunches and six evening meals.

Evening meals are taken at a restaurant near the hotel, U Passa Tempu, and are arranged as a menu for the whole group. The evening meal on your free day is not included, allowing you to try the local restaurants.

Typical meals are:

Breakfast: Orange juice, croissant, fresh French bread, coffee/tea, cereals, eggs, cheese and cold cuts.

Lunch: Picnics made of a mixed salad (eg pasta and tuna, potato and meat, lentils and sausage), bread and cheese, and fruit. We encourage you to bring your own recyclable container.

Evening meals: A first course of soup or a starter (often salad or charcuterie); a main course usually with meat, sometimes fish; and a dessert.

Corsica is famous for charcuteries and brocciu cheese, fresh local herbs, gamey meats and fish, which can feature in the evening meals. The evening meal does not include drinks. Vegetarians can be catered for, but the options are more limited, with the evening meal normally pasta or omelette-based.
