The Area
Perched in a secluded, supremely panoramic position in the wooded hills above Corsica's south coast, L'Alpana is ideal for those who wish to relax in a rural setting while being in close proximity to a series of beautiful beaches. Indeed, a quick 10-minute drive will take you down to the idyllic sandy bays of Plage de Figari and La Tonnara, while a host of other beaches are within a 20-minute drive.
A must-see for anyone staying at L'Alpana 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 (as does L'Alpana itself) 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.

Everything at L'Alpana was absolutely perfect. The house and its location are unbeatable! The location is breathtaking and the stylish decor of the house / garden is put together with a lot of style and underlines the beauty of the area. Our experience with The Thinking Traveller could not be better. Everything was carried out to our fullest satisfaction before the trip as well as during our stay on site. It was a perfect holiday all round - unfortunately too short with only one week.

L'Alpana est parfait... la vue depuis la villa majestueuse et le fait qu entre la villa et la mer il n y a pas de construction.
