CORSICA - FRANCE By: Samantha Hines
DemeureLoredana The hotel’s defining feature is the beautiful infinity-edge swimming pool that enjoys uninterrupted Mediterranean views. The pool terrace is un-cluttered and spacious with snacks and beverages also available. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but breakfast and romantic dining is available in your room, perhaps with sea views from your balcony, and venues outside the hotel are an easy walk away. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi in the lobby and by the pool, an indoor spa and hammer and a massage service.
La Sassa Few addresses are as inspirational. Built between rocks in the shade of Nonza's Genoese watchtower, this strictly alfresco diner – it has no interior – cooks up feisty beef steaks on an open grill, while guests look on from rickety tables scattered between olive trees across the rocky-outcrop terrace. Sea views, predictably, are heady and gargantuan.
Natural Site Natural Landscape Corsica is one of the 26 regions of France, located on the homonymous island in the Mediterranean. The capital city is Ajaccio region, with two departments: South-Corse and Haute-Corse. Corsica delights visitors with its beautiful landscapes and charming towns. One of the most picturesque settlements is Bonifacio. Corsica has been described by Balzac as a French island washed by the Italian sun.
Corsica, France’s Isle of Beauty The smells of palm trees and Mediterranean winds give way to odors of pine forest and damp vegetation. Twenty minutes more and you’re clattering upward past plunging ravines and snow-capped mountain ranges that look transposed from Ansel Adams photos. Red-roofed mountain villages, ruined stone huts, and lightning-blasted trees thunder past and vanish behind. All that’s missing is a Corsican Wordsworth to distill these natural wonders into verse.
CORSICA – FRANCE Biography Corsica is one of the few regions of France that retains its own language in everyday usage: Corsican, which is more closely related to Italian than to French. However, since its takeover by France in the 18th century, French has dominated the media and commerce, and today it is estimated that only 10% of Corsica's population speak Corsican natively, with only 50% having some sort of proficiency in Corsican. Some linguists classify the Corsican language as belonging to the Italo Dalmatian Group while others classify it as a Southern Romance group language separate from the Italo Dalmatian Group
