About Monticello

A picturesque village set five kilometres inland of L’Ile Rousse, Monticello is a beautiful base for a relaxed Corsican holiday. Believed to be the village in which Christopher Columbus’ mother was born, Monticello is a charming maze of winding streets lined with heritage homes, shops and eateries. Outdoorsy activities abound, and there’s plenty for guests of all ages to see and do. With accommodation options ranging from simple restaurants-with-rooms to romantic hideaways, the best places to stay in Monticello offer something for everyone.

Sweeping coastal views from between the village’s rooftops make Monticello — and the surrounding Balagne hills — a favourite amongst ramblers and hikers. Follow the Strada di l'Artigiani, a local craft trail, to appreciate artisanal creations, visit nearby vineyards, or go trekking and horse riding amidst the towering pines of the Tartagine Forest. Head towards the coast for fabulous fresh seafood, lazy beach days and coastal walks in L’Ile Rousse and Calvi.

The best places to stay in Monticello are intimate and inviting. It's particularly popular with romantic couples looking to unwind in gorgeous boutique surroundings.

  • Scenic Corsica is wonderful for a road trip! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Travel during the spring or summer for the warmest weather, with temperatures peaking around 26°C in June to August — although this is also the busiest time of year. May or September are ideal for quieter trips, though the sea will be much cooler.
