The Area
Domaine Saint Jean sits on the little beach-flanked promontory of Pianottoli on the south coast of Corsica, just 100m from the idyllic sandy bay of Plage de San Giovanni. There are many other sandy bays to choose from within a few minutes' drive.
A selection of amenities, including restaurants and food shops can be found in nearby Pianottoli, a 10-minute drive away.
A must-see for anyone staying at Domaine Saint Jean 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.
