Visit Corsica for Christmas

What if you're looking for a change of scenery for the holidays? Far from the classic snowy destinations, Corsica in winter reveals an unexpected and enchanting side. Between powdery mountains and a coastline bathed in light, the island offers a striking setting where contrasts blend with the mild Mediterranean climate.
Book a hotel in Porto Pollo and enjoy an idyllic setting, between the sea and the scrubland, for a Christmas that's exotic, soothing, and authentically Corsican!


What to do in Corsica at Christmas?


Christmas in Corsica is a special time of year, when the island rediscovers its tranquility.
The landscapes, magnified by the winter light, lend themselves to all desires: seaside strolls, cultural discoveries, or mountain excursions.
For snow lovers, head to the small resorts of Ese or Ghisoni, perfect for a day of skiing or a snowshoe hike overlooking the Mediterranean. Wellness enthusiasts? Treat yourself to a relaxing break in the thermal springs of Caldanes, Caldaniccia, or Guagno and unwind in their hot, sulfurous waters.
And indulge in a seasonal feast: grilled figatelli, wild boar stew, Corsican soup, or roasted chestnuts, all accompanied by a glass of local wine and fiadone for dessert.


The magic of a Corsican Christmas


In December, mountain villages light up, and Christmas markets enliven the squares of major cities like Ajaccio, Bastia, and Porto-Vecchio.
Local crafts, local products, and traditional songs create a friendly and festive atmosphere.
Between the sea and the mountains, Corsica offers the rare luxury of enjoying lunch on a terrace in the sunshine before admiring the snow-capped peaks on the horizon.


Stay in Porto Pollo for an authentic Corsican Christmas


Ideally located on the southwest coast of the island, the Mare & Monti hotel welcomes you to a peaceful setting, just a stone's throw from the Gulf of Valinco.
It's the perfect starting point for exploring Corsica's wild beauty this holiday season while enjoying warm comfort.
Whether you're coming as a couple, with family, or with friends, you'll find the perfect balance between relaxation, fine dining, and a change of scenery here!
