With its stone walls and sun-bleached terracotta roofs, at first glimpse Casa Tijali resembles a classic Corsican bergerie. Step inside, however, and one is greeted by airy, bright spaces, tasteful modern design, and clean lines. Just a few minute's walk away are the idyllic sands and crystalline waters of the Plage de la Tour, but once your immersed in Casa Tijali's verdent gardens, lying by the pool, you may just decide to stay put.

The Area
Casa Tijali sits on the little beach-flanked promontory of Pianottoli on the south coast of Corsica, just a 7-minute walk from the idyllic sandy bay of Plage de la Tour. There are many other sandy bays to choose from in the area, some walkable, others a short drive.
There's a restaurant less than 10 minutes' walk away, while other amenities, including a wider selection of eateries, can be found in nearby Pianottoli, a 10-minute drive.
A must-see for anyone staying at Casa Tijali 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, mediaeval 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, a picturesque seafront town with a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants, a street market, and views down over its 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.
