Visiting the Porto-Vecchio region in the off-season is one of the best ways to fully enjoy southern Corsica. Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, a hiking enthusiast or simply looking for a slower pace of life, the shoulder seasons have plenty to offer.

Far from the summer crowds, winter reveals a calm and luminous Corsica. The landscapes are stunning, the sea sparkles under clear skies, and villages move at their own gentle rhythm.
What we love :
A peaceful, relaxing atmosphere
Attractive prices on transport and accommodation
Beaches all to ourselves
Discovering local life, traditions and true Corsican cuisine (figatellu grilled by the fireplace!!)
And sometimes even snow just 20 minutes from Porto-Vecchio !
Perfect for a rejuvenating break, a romantic getaway or remote working in the sunshine
Nature in Bloom and Ideal Temperatures
Le maquis verdoyant, idéal pour les balades

In spring, Corsica bursts into color. The maquis is in flower, rivers are full, and longer days are perfect for exploring beaches, hiking trails and hilltop villages.
What we love :
Mild, sunny weather
The best season for hiking and outdoor activities
Lush green landscapes
Beaches without the crowds
It’s undoubtedly one of the most spectacular times of year to discover the region.

After summer, Corsica regains its calm while keeping wonderfully pleasant weather. The sea remains warm, the light turns golden, and the atmosphere becomes beautifully relaxed.

Swimming possible until late October / early November
Easier traffic
Gorgeous light !
The perfect time to combine beach days, nature and relaxation — my personal favorite season !
The far south of Corsica can then be enjoyed in its most natural and elegant form.
