Residence in Porto Vecchio + travel tips

1. I am planning a 2 weeks-holidays in May/June to Corsica and have more or less settled for the area of Porto Vecchio as a base. We are travelling with 2 small kids (1 and 3 years old), are looking for a beautiful beach, and a natural, peaceful setting (no loud music by the pool or on the beach!), a decent restaurant on site or nearby... I am looking at self-catering rather than hotels because it is more flexible with the kids. Can you tell me anything about the following:

Residence Marina di Santa Guilia

Residence Les Hameaux de Santa Giulia

Residence Cala Sultana

Residence Castell%26#39;Verde

Residence Paese Serenu

Residence Caranella Village

There is so much choice, hard to decide which one...

2. Prices are cheaper in May than in June, but can we already swim in the sea or is it too cold?

3. If we decide to take our time coming down from either Bastia or Calvi/L%26#39; ile Rousse, what stop-over would you recommend? (hotel this time)- also would you go inland via Corte or along the coast? stop somewhere in the mountains? Or is St Florent not-to-be missed?

4. Are there mountain-villages accessible from Porto-Vecchio?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Genevieve,

Have you been to Corsica? Where did you stay?

We would like to go for 2 weeks to this beautiful Island in September and have the same questions.

What are your experiences?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Anna,

we have booked a self catering appartment at:

http://www.corse-loc.com/

The appartments are fully equipped with

dishwasher/kitchen/washing machine/BBQ on the terrasse and have a wonderful view over the coast and is close

to the finest beaches of Corsica.

Maybe we see each other in September...

Genevieve,

Have you been to Corsica. I plan to go this summer with two kids of 5 and 9 years old. I%26#39;m looking at CastellVerde or Paese Serenu. What can you recommend.
