As you drive towards Bonifacio there is a moment when everything suddenly switches from grey to white, and from granite to limestone. An unforgettable moment when everything changes. In the countryside, you are surrounded by thousand-year-old olive trees. Feel the sea breeze caress your face. Enjoy stunning sea views. In the surrounding countryside, marvel at the dry stone walls constructed with small flat slabs placed one on top of the other, forming works of art that have acquired a unique patina with time. Look out for the ingeniously built dry stone shelters in gardens with their stone roofs that once housed farm workers. As you approach Bonifacio in the extreme south, the fortified city rises up as if on a limestone table sheltering its three thousand inhabitants. The sea surrounds this peninsula at the extreme southern point of Corsica, and this is where you will find the Sperone Golf Course?s most famous hole. Eight-metre high cliffs overlook it. Houses cling to the cliff edges. A Vauban-style bastion and fortifications that surround the city, a monumental gate and a drawbridge that is no longer raised are just some of the high points of this city steeped in history, which was founded in 800 A.D. A 1.5 km long natural harbour protects fishing boats and, during the summer season, welcomes some of the most beautiful pleasure boats in the world. No, you're not dreaming, you're in Bonifacio!
The charming Cala di Greco Hotel enjoys easy access to many beaches.
There are also great beaches in the Porto Vecchio area just 25 km away. And don't overlook Santa Giulia Bay, Palombaggia and the wilder west coast, such as Roccapina. Even closer are the enchanting coves of the Domaine de la Testa, Figari and Pianotolli Caldarello located just 17 kilometres from the Cala di Greco Hotel.
And while the beaches are the main attraction in the summer, they are not the only draw in Corsica. The luxury Cala di Greco Hotel will do its utmost to ensure you have a memorable and enchanting stay.
A mountainous island in the sea, Corsica's size means that just one hour from the Cala di Greco Hotel in Bonifacio, you can easily explore waterfalls and rivers, and breathe in pure invigorating air while never being more than a stone's throw from the sea.
