A Torra is a gorgeous villa in a gorgeous location. What stood out was the elegance and subtlety of the architectural renovation and the beautiful gardens and views. The experience was perfection and A Torra should not be missed for anyone thinking of traveling to Corsica. It is truly a special place and the owners have thought of every detail to make it so.

We had an ideal chilled, in-villa, on-sea week at A Torra. This was our second visit and it met my particular family requirements: access to sea, relaxed but comfortable setting, size, great showers!

What stood out about A Torra? The location and the fact that The Thinking Traveller had brought in a full setup for children. We would return because it's a great location for children.

The Area

A Torra sits on a little beach-flanked promontory on the south coast of Corsica, just over 20km northwest from Bonifacio. This section of the coast is characterised by a series of little coves and bays, many of which have lovely little sandy beaches.

A must-see for anyone staying at A Torra 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 some good 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.
