A vibrant port town in northern Corsica, Bastia is a wonderful destination for those looking to experience both the charm of a historic old town and the buzz of a modern island community. This is also a beautiful region for keen hikers, cyclists and history buffs to explore and you’ll find that many of the best places to stay in Bastia are actually set in the surrounding hills or ancient villages. Some of our favourite Corsican honeymoon hotels are in this area, tucked within renovated manor houses with sublime countryside and ocean views.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Bastia’s Vieux Port with a marina-side stroll, where you’ll spot fading pastel-coloured buildings overlooking rows of impressive yachts. The little alleyways of Terra-Vecchia and Terra-Nova — home to Bastia’s Citadel — are also well worth a wander. Fill your bags at the Place de l'Hotel de Ville’s weekend market, or hunt for bargains at the Place St. Nicolas’ Sunday flea market before picking a perch at a bustling café. The Palais des Gouverneurs, Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Romieu Gardens are also highlights.
Soak up the sun at the beach, discover hiking and mountain biking trails in the surrounding hills, or explore lovely Erbalunga village and seaside Saint-Florent. All are within a short drive of the best places to stay in Bastia.
