Nicknamed the Island of Beauty, Corsica is not lacking in this attribute. A mountainous island, with a wild interior, a coastline carved out by the sea into marvellous shapes and a near-tropical climate, Corsica is an endless source of astonishment. Proud and independent, its people have an ingrained tradition of hospitality, complemented by a wealth of native products - sheep’s milk and goat cheeses and wild pig sausages and cold meats - that are a feast for the palate.
