Hotel Napoléon
Content: Our room in this hotel was small and very limited but it is common in Corsica : mostly you won’t find things like an electric kettle. The good point of this hotel : we rent a parking place for 10€/ day and I will recommend you to do so.

Hôtel Restaurant Holzer SARL SAHO
Content: In this hotel, we had a good reception. Our rome was fine. The hotel has only a small parking : mostly we were lucky as we had a place but one time we needed to park outside the city center (for free).

La cascade de piscia di gallu
Content: During this trek, we have a nice walk in the forest and beautiful landscapes in top of the mountains. When we approach the waterfall, it is unfortunately hidden by the trees.

Day 8 - 2 Oct 2021
Aéroport Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte
Content: We actually leave the next day but very early. Here are some additional tips or information about Corsica : ▪️ We rent our car via the website RentalCar. When we wanted to pick up the car, a bank imprint of 1500€ was asked to us (no cash accepted) : we had to call our bank so that it could be made. ▪️ For me it is impossible to visit Corsica without a car as you will barely see a bus. It also what makes this island beautiful : it not a place where you will see many bus with groups of tourists. ▪️ You will mostly take small roads / roads in the mountains. ▪️Take a tuba mask to admire the fishes in the sea. ▪️ Avoid to spend your afternoon at the Santa Giulia beach : it is crowded even in September but go there for the sunset 🌅 ▪️If you plan to hike in Corsica : try to have a maximum of information about the path. Some of them are not well indicated such as in the Aiguilles of Bavella.
