Bonifacio – The remarkable Haute Ville
Bonifacio holidays feature a fascinating town on the southern tip of Corsica, normally accessed from Figari airport. The undoubted highlight of holidays in Bonifacio is the famous Haute Ville: a striking ensemble of ancient houses, steep narrow lanes, churches and medieval battlements, spectacularly set on the white cliffs of a long narrow limestone peninsula, and topped by a 9th century citadel. The entire old town has a marked Genoese influence. Bonifacio holidays enjoy a distinctly Italian atmosphere to this day. The unique setting affords superb views of the islands of Lavezzi, Caballo and Sardinia. To get the best views of the old town your Bonifacio holiday must include a trip out to sea.
