An illustration of a guest book

We have enjoyed several Thinking Traveller villas in Sicily, Puglia, Greece and now Corsica. Canella in Corsica is at the top of our experiences with your company. Would we return to this villa? Yes, I would return in a heartbeat. Canella was beautiful and perfect for our multigenerational family.

Verified guest, August 2025

Canella is a stylish villa in a beautiful environment.

Simon Yencken July 2025

We loved Canella, the holiday, the island, and the Corsican people.

Verified guest, July 2025

Our experience at Cannella was perfection. What stood out was the view of the ocean, and we loved the porch.

Verified guest, June 2025

We wanted stunning sea views; six bedrooms; easy access to a nice beach; the capacity for a special celebration; and a caring and attentive organization to assist with complex coordination of activities for a variety of interests and abilities. The Thinking Traveller gave us all that and much more with Canella. The villa is quite special, perched on a rocky prominence overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its main level houses its living space with a spectacular patio and two bedrooms, a generous kitchen, workout room and laundry facilities. Below the patio are three separate en-suites, which gave our three children and their spouses full privacy and easy access to the grounds. The guest house was a haven for my wife and me to enjoy our own private mini vacation. A private patio behind the guest house sported its own stunning views and direct access to the rocky shoreline in the late evening and early morning. A stay at Canella will create memories that will last a lifetime.

RS June 2024

Canella was absolutely perfect for our group. This was probably the first time that a villa I've booked was actually more beautiful and perfect in person than in the photos! The view was incredible, the proximity to the water and the beach was ideal, and the setup gave everyone just enough privacy and just enough nice spaces to hang out as a group in.
