We travelled independently but accomodation booked with Thomson and we had a sea view studio with sun from early morning until 3.00pm, unlike previous reviewers. The beach was lovely and we found space without any problem even in August. Went snorkelling with my son and saw a variety of sealife in the clear waters. The Supermarket was a bit expensive... more

Flight to Figari was good and airport was efficient. We picked up our pre-ordered hire car - research market cos our car was £130 cheaper than Europecar, which is recommended by Thomson. Those without hire cars were met by Thomson Reps and their coach stopped at a small supermarket en-route to enable purchase of stuff for the apartment. Being a... more

Just returned from a 7 day break to Corsica staying at Castell'Verde on a self catering option (residence). Booked with Portland Direct, but the adminstration of the holiday once on the island is conducted by Thomson. First things first, you need a car to fully appreciate the island, it has spectacular scenery, but very little in the way of public... more

I have spent two weeks in September in Castell'Verde Residence. Last year I was in Cala Sultana, which is closer to the beach, and this year I've decided to stay in Castell'verde, because it's a little cheaper. Bad choice!! In fact the apartments are very small and the toilet is the smallest I've seen in my life! If you're tall... more

Just returned from a great holiday in Corsica where our second week was spent in an apartment at Castell Verde. Firstly, the good points. Santa Giulia Bay is beautiful and the beach is probably among the best in Europe. It could have been kept better compared to some of the beaches I have seen especially in Asia. The beach restaurant... more

When we booked our holiday we explained that as we have a 3 year old son it was important to us as being on our honeymoon as well that we wanted an apartment with a seaview balcony so we could sit out on an evening when our son was in... more

OK, booked our Honeymoon through Portland (part of Thompson Group but cheaper) and went SELF CATERING. When we booked the holiday we informed the agent it was our honeymoon who told us they would put it down as additional information but that we shouldn't expect anything extra. Arrived at the hotel and were instantly impressed with the quality and beauty... more

The hotel is well positioned in Santa Giulia.It has a path to the beach direct. Our room facing onto the sea side did not have sea view, as covered by plants. We are usually not so keen on seaview rooms and it was just fine. Although our room seemed to be becoming old, we could tell it had been initially... more

Beautiful island, fantastic contrast between crystal clear seas, stunning coast and high mountain ranges. Chic Porto Vechio is fantastic with great restaurants and bars in the main sq...BUT very expensive be prepared to pay above London prices for quality food and over the top for just local wine!! The Castell Verde apartments although in a good location, 500m from one... more
