26 years ago we fell in love with Corsica .......not difficult as it's undoubtedly the loveliest island in the Med, offering unspoilt beautiful beaches warm clear water and a rugged interior ..always with the underlying aroma of dried herbs.
It was Caranella Village that we made our holiday home.Over the years we have seen many changes in the village ...not all so good but never seriously bad and never anything that caused us to look elsewhere.The village offered a relaxed holiday with access to a lovely beach via a wooded footpath (5 mins walk) safety for our children and their friends, a pool to sit round a chat ...always making new friends who themselves very often became addicted to the island.We have a boat that we keep on the island from which we scuba dive and use to visit the many secluded coves that are close by as well as making night cruises to beach side restaurants.
Caranella Village has emerged over the years as a well appointed holiday destination offering hotel service , self catering (that's us) and a beach restaurant 'Ranco Plage' that offers fine food plus views of the moon over the sea that cannot fail to entrance you.
.....and yes Florence is great!
