At the heart of Corsica, Corte embodies the very soul of the island: mountains, history and culture reveal themselves here in their most authentic form. Clustered around its citadel, the town opens onto the Restonica and Tavignanu valleys, offering both wild walks and places steeped in memory.

As there is no campsite in Corte itself, the Yelloh! Village campsites located by the sea are the ideal options for visiting this “secret capital”. Our Artisans of Happiness offer you a warm, high-standard welcome, exceptional on-site comfort, and activities and services that elevate your holiday experience. You’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at:

• Yelloh! Village Perla di Mare, in Ghisonaccia – perfect for enjoying the Mediterranean to the fullest, with the beach just a few steps away.
• Yelloh! Village Le Campoloro, in Cervione – set between pine forest and unspoilt beaches, this peaceful haven provides easy access to the island’s interior.
• Yelloh! Village Terre d’Oliviers, in Monticello – an ideal base for exploring both the Balagne region and Corte, while staying just a few metres from the sea.

Here, you can enjoy a fully equipped mobile home, soothing natural surroundings and premium facilities, while keeping Corte as your favourite excursion destination — whether for its museums, its hikes carved into the gorges, or its vibrant university atmosphere.
