The magic of A Rena stems from its wonderful position right on a lovely, never-busy sandy beach on Corsica's bewitching south coast. An amble along a track to the side of the gardens and you're there, toes in the crystalline waters of the sea, a beautiful bay spreading out before you.

The Area
A Rena looks out onto the lovely sandy beaches and sheltered bays of Corsica's south coast, near Pianottoli. About 20km away to the southeast is Bonifacio, one of Corsica's most dramatically positioned and picturesque towns. Teetering perilously on a high cliff above the sea it offers sublime views over to Sardinia and a great selection of restaurants and bars.
Less than an hour's drive northwest is the panoramically positioned, medieval town of Sartène, whose pretty labyrinth of streets gives an idea of Corsican life away from the coastline.
Heading up the east coast one comes to a series of delightful beaches, including those of Santa Giulia, Tamaricciu and Palombaggia, and Porto Vecchio, another of Corsica's many charming towns offering a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants and a nice old town centre looking over the large natural harbour.
Further afield on the west coast is the island's capital, Ajaccio, which is well worth a visit, not least so you can say that you've been to the birthplace of the great Napoleon.
