About this property
Vacation between coast and mountains
At an altitude of 600 meters above the east coast of Corsica, overlooking the Tuscan islands Montecristo, Elba and Capraia our apartments are located on the edge of a typical Corsican mountain village.
Located on the 1st floor of our 500 year old house, the apartment offers comfortable space for 2 to 4 people (50 square meters).
It has a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, etc., a bathroom with shower and toilet, and a spacious bedroom with double bed.
From your apartment, you will enjoy beautiful views of the coast and the Corsican mountains. On clear days you can even make out the Italian coast on the horizon. Just a few steps away from the house is the private guest terrace with garden furniture and a barbecue.
The historic region of Castagniccia, which is dominated mainly by its wide range of chestnut trees, offers its visitors endless hiking possibilities up to an altitude of about 1800 meters.
Hike on well marked trails through a gorgeous natural landscape to abandoned villages, waterfalls and old mills. Cool then your tired feet in one of the clear mountain streams. Or visit the interesting cultural history museum in the old episcopal town Cervioni.
A special attraction is every year the blossom of fruit trees in spring; in September and October you can easily gather chestnuts for dinner on a hike.
Our apartments are situated just about 9 km away from the main artery of Corsica, which runs along the east coast, between the mountains and the sea. There are excellent hiking possibilities many of which begin the front door of our house. On the other hand, the beach is only 9 km away.
Due to the short distance to the tourist centers of the east coast with their great touristical infrastructure and various offers for water sports and -leisure we can promise both hiking and mountain friends, as well as beach lovers a relaxing holiday.
During your absence we offer to look after your children if you are planning longer hikes or a cozy evening for two at one of the local restaurants. Depending on the age of the children we felt together, picnic, play, etc.
Please note that at our place you will depend on a car of your own or a rental car. At Bastia-Poretta airport you will find all car rental companies.

About the host
Hosted by Holger Droste und Diana Cruciani-Kappes

Since spring 2005 we live in Corsica. In the small corsican village "San Giovanni di Moriani" we have renovated an old stone house and were able to fulfill our dream of a life in Corsica.
Meanwhile, we have developed three apartments in the house, which we rent to vacationers since. We also manage a large fruit and vegetable garden from which we cook for our guests.
