Whether it’s staying on this shaded southern Corsica site to practice your sports tricks and backstroke or mapping out the way to golden-sand beaches, mountain landscapes or scuba diving havens, holidays at Camping Olva are simply splendid. This seven-hectare site in Corse-du-Sud is both family-friendly and dog-friendly, with lots of options for activities…
Propriano’s beaches are 10 minutes’ drive to the northwest for alfresco-style dining along the beachfront and a taste of sailing, boat trips or other watersports. As for medieval ramparts and an archaeological museum, the Corsican village of Sartène is 10 minutes’ drive to the south. Hiking in mountains and forests are further out, with waterfalls and wild animals galore.
Then, there are the activities on the site itself, which extend to sports such as table tennis, pétanque, football and anything else you can conjure up in the multi-sports ground (basketball, football, volleyball, handball or Baby Foot Bonzini perhaps?) For other active pursuits, the site has a swimming pool, fitness room and play area.
With fresh bread and pastries delivered to the site’s grocery store every morning and a bar and pizzeria other options about the site, the food side of things is nicely covered. In July and August, themed meals are organised and hosted by Corsican singers as a plus.
As for the basics, Camping Olva has several washing machines and wifi in the lower part of the site (the reception, restaurant and its surroundings).
