Vacation Rental Description

It’s the perfect base for a relaxing self-catering holiday for families, couples and groups of friends alike, and the extra expense of car hire is a choice, not a necessity.

Calvi’s main beach is only a 10 minute stroll from Casa Paradis, and beachlovers will not be disappointed. As it’s 6 km long, there’s plenty of room for everyone, and its fine sand and gently-shelving bottom make it ideal for children of all ages. Restaurants and cafe bars are dotted along the beach, and a variety of watersports, including hobie-cats and kayaking, are on offer. The beach is backed by shady pines and sand dunes, concealing an adventure playground and tennis courts. Only a couple of minutes from Casa Paradis is the secluded and little-known beach Plage Roncu, ideal for snorkelling and exploring. The marina is where you’ll find several dive schools, yachts offering sailing trips and boats for hire. Other activities available include horseriding, tennis, mini-golf, quad-bike safaris, an aerial assault course and mountain biking. There are some excellent walks, and nature lovers will enjoy the flora, fauna and bird-watching.
