French city, located north-east of Corsica; it is the main commercial, industrial and, above all, first port of the island. Bastia is a Corsican city, with a deeply Ligurian soul, with the typical atmosphere of the Genoese “carrugi”, its narrow alleys and the same houses.

It is the natural place to start discovering the beautiful east coast, able to satisfy the tastes and needs of all tourists.

Overlooking the sea, in a privileged position, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summer; average temperatures, even in September, are on average 25 degrees. From here, wonderful views and views of Capraia, Montecristo, the island of Elba and, in some days, even Pianosa.
