This streamlined apartment with its laid-back interiors and central Ajaccio location is an excellent choice for beach bums and explorers alike. After a restful snooze in the clutter-free bedroom, sit down to a plate of buttery pastries in the bright living space. Take a moment to recline on the sofa with a paperback or slap on your suncream and make haste to the seaside – Plage Saint-Francois is around 500 metres from your doorstep.

Brush up on your French history knowledge at the Maison Bonaparte, just footsteps from your home, then admire the fine collection of Renaissance paintings in the Fesch Museum. If you’re keen to expend a little energy, follow the promenade west out of Ajaccio until it becomes the Route des Sanguinaires – if you get peckish, there are plenty of eateries along the way to stop for a bite.
