Our holiday accommodation in the Ajaccio region
Welcome to Ajaccio, jewel of the Mediterranean at the heart of Corsica and capital of the ‘land beyond the mountains’. This famous tourist destination is the ideal location for choosing a holiday rental with Gîtes de France® Corsica. The town lies on a magnificent 17km long Gulf with breathtaking views of imposing mountains and the sparkling sea. Ajaccio has a myriad of charms including fine sandy beaches, picturesque coves and the different coloured façades of the houses arranged like an amphitheatre around its historic harbour where fishermen can be seen mending their colourful nets.
