Why invest in Corsica?

Corsica, nicknamed "the island of beauty", is a dream destination for real estate investors and individuals looking for a second home. This island offers a unique blend of unspoiled nature, cultural riches and breathtaking landscapes.

Here's why you should consider investing in Corsica.

1. Incomparable Nature and Landscapes

Corsica is distinguished by its exceptional natural beauty. Between sea and mountains, the island offers an impressive diversity of landscapes. From fine sandy beaches bordered by crystal clear waters, such as La Liscia beach in Calcatoggio or the famous Palombaggia beach, to majestic mountains and dense forests, Corsica is a true paradise for nature lovers.

The Calanques de Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Sanguinaires Islands are just a few examples of the island's natural wonders.

Hiking enthusiasts will find a true paradise in Corsica. The famous GR20 is one of the most difficult and famous long-distance hiking trails in the world, offering breathtaking views across the entire island. Water activities are not left out: scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing allow you to discover the underwater riches and the jagged coasts of the island.

Corsica has a rich and varied cultural heritage.

Picturesque villages, historic citadels and local traditions offer a true journey through time.

Ajaccio, the regional capital, is famous for being the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Its museum, Maison Bonaparte, is a must-see for history buffs.

Also discover typical towns such as Bonifacio and its village perched on top of the rock, Aléria the capital of Roman Corsica or Porto-Vecchio and its fort, offering a breathtaking view of the golf course of the same name!

Local festivals, such as the Fêtes de Pâques in Sartène or the Lama Film Festival, show the liveliness of Corsican culture.

Gastronomy is also an essential aspect of local culture, with specialties such as brocciu, figatellu, and Corsican wines that will delight the most discerning palates.

3. Outdoor Activities and Water Sports

The diversity of Corsican landscapes allows for a multitude of outdoor activities.

Hiking, canyoning, scuba diving, and sailing are just some of the options available. Hiking trails offer stunning views of the island and the sea, while the turquoise waters are ideal for water sports.

Canyoning in the Restonica Gorges or along the Gravona and Vecchio rivers offers thrills and magnificent landscapes. Corsican beaches, such as Palombaggia, Santa Giulia or La Liscia, are perfect for relaxing days or activities such as paddle boarding or swimming.

Compared to the Côte d'Azur or other regions of France, Corsica offers more attractive prices per square meter while guaranteeing an equally prestigious living environment.

Average prices per square meter in Corsica can be 30% to 60% lower than in some other regions.
The natural setting attracts more and more investors or individuals looking for heritage or second homes

Investing in Corsica therefore allows you to acquire quality properties at more attractive prices, while benefiting from strong rental profitability thanks to the ever-increasing tourist influx.

Demand for seasonal rentals is strong, particularly from May to September, Corsica offers investors the opportunity to generate substantial rental income.
French legislation on short-term rentals is also more favorable in Corsica compared to other saturated tourist regions such as Paris or Nice.

4. An Attractive Real Estate Market

Calcatoggio, located on the west coast of Corsica, near Ajaccio, is a haven of peace that combines charm, privacy and natural beauty. The town offers an exceptional view of the Gulf of Liscia, a green setting and proximity to magnificent beaches such as La Liscia beach.

Calcatoggio is just 30 minutes from Ajaccio, providing easy access to the city's amenities, international airport and seaport.

The residence "Les Terrasses de Ancône" in Calcatoggio is an excellent example of the local real estate offer. Close to the beaches and offering a breathtaking sea view, this residence offers renovated, well-appointed apartments, with spaces ranging from 21m² to 45m². Each apartment has a sea view orientation, ideally exposed balconies or terraces and a dedicated parking space.

Compared to other areas of Corsica, Calcatoggio stands out for its perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. While areas like Porto-Vecchio Ajaccio or Bonifacio can be saturated with tourists in high season, Calcatoggio offers a quieter retreat while remaining close to the island's main attractions and amenities.

5. Why Invest in Calcatoggio?
