La Dimora

Activities

• Hanging out at the hotel is a great way to spend your day, and as well as the pool and the terrace, you’ll find a hot tub, a treatment room and a hamam. You can book whatever you require at reception
  
  
• The best beaches - Plage du Lotu and Plage de Saleccia - are both beyond the reach of cars. Instead, boats whisk you over from St Florent, then return to pick you up. White sands and clear waters wait; there’s a beach restaurant and a bar in summer. You can transfer between the beaches by calèche, a horse-drawn wagon
  
  
• The Cap du Corse, the island’s northern peninsula, is a great day out. Take the east coast up and the west coast down - that way you keep the sun with you all day. There are some lovely little villages to explore, beaches to swim from, and excellent restaurants to ensure a good lunch
  
  
• All sorts of watersports can be arranged, from boat trips along the coast to diving and kayaking, sailing and jet skiing. Reception will advise. They can also point you towards a bicycle hire shop
  
  
• Head into the mountains - they’re wild and wonderful and well worth a day of your holiday. There’s great walking, magnificent views, and horses to ride through spectacular landscape. You’ll be equally happy driving through it all
  
  
• Some great music festivals run over the summer. They take place all over the island, mostly from July to September; some are free. Highlights in the northeast are the July guitar festival in Patrimono and the Latin music festival in St Florent in August
