Porto Vecchio is a very pleasant summer town. You will find all kinds of activities there: nautical, mountain, golf, equestrian to do every day or simply enjoy our beautiful beaches, Palombaggia, Santa Giulia, St Cyprien, St Lucie de Porto Vecchio, La Rondinara.
In the evening, the upper town offers you a party atmosphere with these bars, these restaurants, these small alleys, these shops…it’s summer….
Fresh produce markets every Sunday in Porto-Vecchio and Wednesday in Lecci. Corsica is also very pleasant in winter! You can go for long walks on our magnificent beaches, emptied of tourists and various facilities, or along our hiking trails, scented with the flowers of the maquis!
Our swimming pools are closed at this time of year (between 1 November and 31 March), but our jacuzzis are open and very popular, with temperatures reaching 37.5°C.
In the downstairs villa, a small wood-burning stove warms up the atmosphere of the house and allows you to spend warm, convivial moments with family or friends.
A free Wi-Fi connection is also available for those who are tied up with work.
During the festive season, Porto-Vecchio adapts to the winter season and offers Christmas entertainment with its ice rink in the church square, its Christmas markets and its ephemeral restaurants, each brandishing their outdoor heaters so you can continue to enjoy the illuminated terraces. Don’t forget Corsica in winter for your Christmas or New Year’s holidays, or to take advantage of the ski resorts in February (yes, there are ski resorts in Corsica!).
Of course, these are still small resorts, so it’s best to spend a day there and then come back down in the evening… it’s up to you! The nearest ski resort is Ghisoni.
