San Nicolao villa holidays, Corsica Holiday rentals - villas & holiday homes to rent in San Nicolao

San Nicolao is a beautiful little town built in terraces and made up of several quiet hamlets. It is a commune, and a great destination for those looking for somewhere to enjoy a tranquil break. Being located on the east coast of the island means it benefits from plenty of sunshine throughout the summer, which is perfect if you want to enjoy its 17 kilometers of beaches in the seaside district of Moriani-Plage. Here you will find one of the largest soft golden sandy beachs on the island and there are many activities on offer like wake boarding, sailing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing or the banana boat.

There are several great hiking trails, many starting from the beaches like the Mare a Mare Nord, which connects San Nicolao to the neighbouring village Cargèse, or to the waterfall of Ucelluline where you can swim, canyon and climb. For the best view a walk to beautiful Scupiccia is a must, here you can visit the small chapel overlooking the whole area and indulge in some Corsican delicacies at the resturants. Hiring a car to visit the other towns and cities such as Bastia, Ajaccio and Porto Vecchio is a worthwhile thing to do.
