L’Ile Rousse is a hidden gem and Residence Dary was the perfect base for exploring the area, which we have fallen in love with. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed and Debbie was invaluable helping us book restaurants and giving us excursion suggestions.

Mrs Sarah Hill, July 2025

The help, support and advice we got from Debbie in L'ile Rousse was excellent, and above and beyond what we might have expected. We had some trouble with arrival at night in the rain, and she guided us to our apartment . We needed medical help and she arranged it. Her advice on places to visit and restaurants to eat in was spot on. Thanks again Debbie.

Mr Hamish Robertson, September 2024

A really beautiful place. We ate and drank so well. Debbie is a font of knowledge.

Fahey family, July 2024

Debbie was very available and helpful throughout the week.

Mr David Hendrey, June 2024

What a fantastic week, with many enjoyable events. The mountain villages is a great day trip, especially Pigna and Sant'Antonio. The coast path to Bodri and Ghjunchetu beaches is 1hr 20 mins, both beaches are stunning.

Mark and Julie, June 2024

First time we booked with Simpson and everything exceeded expectations. Great service by the UK team and Debbie in resort. Apartment was first class and a great location. Plus, the app is superb with all required information.

Mr Mark Slater, June 2024

Had the place to ourselves for the first 5 days! Excellent stay, reception and housekeeping always helpful. Debbie gave great advice about visits and restaurants. Lovely location.

Manfields and Lamberts, May 2024

A great stay in Residence Dary. The apartment is perfect! The children really enjoyed the water sports centre in Calvi. They went to windsurfing and sailing. We will return one day.

The Mitchells, August 2023

Excellent apartment, well equipped with everything you need. Reception very helpful. Housekeeping team outstanding. We enjoyed our week in Corsica.

The Frosts, July 2023

Pre departure info and service excellent. Accommodation we know and is excellent. Overall Simpson service predeparture, and in the resort, excellent as always.

Hamish Gray, July 2023

We explored some parts of the GR20 which were beautiful walks. We found unspoilt villages and beautiful beaches. We loved the location of our accommodation particularly the fact that our swimming pool was all that was between us and the sea. Bliss!

Mrs Wright, August 2019

Our choice of Corsican properties is as diverse as the island itself, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.

With fishermen mending their nets by the harbour, Calvi’s maritime heritage remains intact. However, the town has gained a new lease of life in the cafés and bars along Quai Landry, linking the marina and the port, with stretches of beach beyond.

Inland, the unspoilt beauty of The Balagne tells a different story of mountain wildernesses and the island's unspoilt and uniquely fragrant maquis. Follow the Route des Artisans through terracotta-tiled hilltop villages, overlooking a landscape of forests and mountains, and you’ll also find that an excellent glass of local wine is never far away.

Choose a holiday in Calvi & The Balagne and one of our handpicked luxury villas will put you in the heart of this diverse and beautiful destination.
