Calvi Villa Vacation In Beautiful Corsica
By train all the way through Europe, via Florence to Livorno at the Italian seaboard, covered quite a length, and filled the soul with continual visual impressions and food for thoughts.
We arrived in Bastia by boat after a sleepless night in a budget Italian hotel room-mating with myriads of cockroaches.
Driving across the Island from Bastia to Calvi lurked out the right holiday mood. The delightful smell of lavender sneaked in through the open windows and welcomed us to this wonderful island.
For three weeks we stayed in a tiny tent in walking distance from the sea. We lived essentially on flutes & raw vegetables, spend the days floating and sunbathing & dancing the nights away in Calvi.
We went back home a month later suntanned, slimmed and full of steam & inspiration.
Having experienced a vacation on the cheap makes it so much easier to pay respects to the advantages of renting a Calvi villa for a family holiday. Many of the rental villas in Calvi has private pool and are very relaxed and tastefully furnished.
Did I point out the beaches? They are long, white, irresistible and wonderfully clean. Furthermore the wind makes even the hottest month bearable by the seaside, as long as you shelter your head from the constant sharp sun. A cotton hat, that you can dip in the sea regularly, keeps your head cooled off. There is much to be said for a Calvi Beach Holiday !
Calvi has no more than 6000 inhabitants. It is found on the North-West coast of the island - 59 km from Bastia. The town has ferry connections with the French mainland (Marseille, Nice, and Toulon) and luxurious yachts visit the harbor. Calvi is a charming old fishing town and fishing is still of some importance, even though tourism is now the big earner.
You will not be bored with Calvi. You can observe the world go by from a seaside pavement cafe, shop trendy clothes in the old part of the town, eat gourmet dinners at the different restaurants or drop in on the piano bar in the medieval Citadel for live music.
Water sport is not in short supply in the region and in Corsica as a whole you can ride horses, hike, walk the mountains and even play golf.
From June to September the Citadel houses art exhibitions by professional local artists from across the whole island of Corsica..
In late June The Calvi Jazz Festival attracts celebrities from the Jazz scene & you can be present at concerts in the Citadel & jam sessions on the Quay Landry.
"Calvi On The Rocks" takes place every year in July. It consists of electronic music & a digital arts festival with nightly concert in the Citadel.
I wish you a fabulous trip to Corsica - the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte - and whether you decide on a hostel, a hotel or a villa vacation in Calvi I am absolutely sure you will take pleasure in the charming town and the magnificent surroundings.
