Apartment rentals in Calvi
The Corsican city of Calvi is the biggest tourist center on the island, so it's no wonder that cheap apartments and vacation rentals in Calvi aren't hard to find! Choose a holiday in Calvi to take full advantage of the history and culture of this multi-faceted city.
Getting Around Calvi
If you've traveled elsewhere in France, you may be expecting the extensive public transportation you've gotten used to. Not so in Calvi! Here, there are no buses, but you will find two small trains to help you get around. That being said, Calvi itself is fairly small and compact; unless your guesthouse or vacation home in Calvi is very far outside the center, you'll be able to get around easily on foot! That being said, you can also use the trains to reach the island of Ile Rousse, home to a popular Old Town, beautiful fine-sand beaches, and lots of opportunities for water sports. You can take a boat to Scandola, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can explore volcanic rock and maybe glimpse some dolphins! Calvi is the perfect jumping off point for all these and more, which is why apartments in Calvi are such a great way to visit.
Historical Calvi
Corsica's location means that the island has passed hands numerous times; Calvi is a testament to this rich history, with the Citadel as one of its star touristic attractions, a citadel built from the 13th to the 16th century as protection for this coastal city. A climb to the top is definitely no picnic, but the views are amazing. You'll also get a glimpse of the governor's palace, which is not opened to visitors. Once you've had your fill of exploring historical Calvi, put up your feet back at your villa with pool and sip a local aperitif, like Pietra beer.
Religious Calvi
Calvi is home to a beautiful baroque church called L'Eglise Santa Maria. It's very distinct in style, resembling an Orthodox church, and is built in distinctive pink stone. You can also visit the 16th century Saint John the Baptist cathedral, baroque in style and home to a 15th century Annunciation painting by Babrabagelata and a 15th century black Christ. Apartments in Calvi with views of one of these two edifices have the joint benefit of placing you in an ideal location for visiting and viewing. Choose your accommodations with this in mind, and you'll be well on your way to the perfect vacation in Calvi!
