Featured Destinations

Olmeto
Porto Vecchio

Porto Vecchio

Located near impressive Bonifacio, the city of Porto Vecchio has the advantages of a seaside resort and shows some wonderful aspects only its natural environment can reveal. Its age-old bastion and beautiful marina puts it in a good location. It has a growing population and a prosperous tourism activity. During the last couple decades, drastic development has helped it overcome its isolation and now Porto Vecchio appears among the best equipped areas of the island of Corsica and is its third town.
Porto Cervo

Porto Cervo

Surrounded by emerald and crystal-clear blue water, immensely scenic and rocky coast and the rolling hills atypical of the Mediterranean, the Costa Smeralda is a beautiful resort area of Sardinia. Once an exclusive getaway for the jet-set and high-profile yachts, Porto Cervo is a thriving and eclectic destination, humming with activity for a myriad of interests. Along its main promenade, there are several art galleries and a museum lending to the increasing feeling that Porto Cervo is fast becoming a cultural center. Catch the spectacular sunset at Phi Beach, an outdoor club that is less of a beach and more of a social hot-spot for every kind of traveler, with music, a laid-back atmosphere and boats floating alongside to watch the sun set collectively. For something more exclusive, try the Billionaire club. Visit the pioneer of the young art scene at the Louise Alexander Gallery or the Monte di Mola Museo, Porto Cervo's first art museum.

Corsica (Ajaccio)

Corsica (Ajaccio)

On the French island of Corsica, Ajaccio is famous as the birthplace of Napoleon. Visit the Bonaparte family home and the 16th century church where he was baptized. Or, take a tour into the wild and rugged outback countryside they call the maquis.
Destination Guide
Olbia

Olbia

Lying inside the protected Gulf of Olbia in the northeast of Sardinia, the town with the same name sits by the sea. This quaint seaside villiage was originally started as a Greek colony and was the scene of a Roman victory over the Carthaginians in 259 BC. Phoenician and Roman tombs are still in the area and the Pisan Romanesque Church of San Simplicio in the town is a site to behold.
