Offering everything you need for a serene island break, this charming two-bedroom apartment is located close to the crescent-shaped white sand beach, gentle lapping waves and beach bars of family-friendly Lozari in Corsica's less-explored north-west corner.

Its central living room and kitchen acts as the hub of the home, with the twin bedroom and main bathroom leading off it. Large bifold doors open out onto a balcony shaded by canvas sails to keep you from getting scorched beneath cloudless Corsican skies. Meanwhile, there's a double bedroom upstairs, complete with its own shower and basin.

After spending a couple of days unwinding close to home, you might find yourself with an urge to explore the area. Head east along winding mountain roads to the untamed landscapes of the Agriates Desert, before continuing on to Saint-Florent, its imposing 15th-century citadel looming large on the horizon.

Alternatively, drive south along the coast to the Riviera-style seaside town of Île Rousse for a taste of Corsican luxury. After perusing its upmarket boutiques, why not continue to Calvi? The island's cultural capital benefits from a bustling atmosphere and awe-inspiring views over the bay.
