Meals

The trip includes all breakfasts, five picnic lunches and six evening meals. Evening meals are taken in the hotel and are arranged as a menu for the whole group. The evening meal on your free day is not included, allowing you to try the local restaurants. Typical meals are: Breakfast: Orange juice, croissant, fresh French bread, butter, jam, coffee/tea, cereals, boiled eggs, and ham Lunch: Picnics of a filled baguette and fruit Evening meals: A first course of soup or a starter (often salad or charcuterie); a main course usually with meat, sometimes fish; and a dessert. Corsica is famous for charcuteries and brocciu cheese, fresh local herbs, gamey meats and fish, which usually feature in the evening meals. The evening meal does not include drinks. Vegetarians can be catered for, but the options are more limited, with the evening meal normally pasta or omelette-based.

Accommodation

Our base is Hotel Beauséjour in the heart of Bocognano; the Ferri-Pisani family have owned and run this two-star hotel for three generations. It overlooks the valley of the Gravona River and across to the spectacular granite face of the Monte d’Oro range. The shady grounds give you time and space to relax and are only a few minutes’ walk from the small town bakeries, post office, restaurants, bar, general store, tourist office and local train station. Meals are taken in the spacious dining room in authentic 1920s decor. There is a communal room for general use. The single and twin rooms are in traditional provincial style.
