Tucked between the Italian peninsula and the southern coast of France, Sardinia and Corsica offer a sun-soaked detour from the expected. With windswept coastlines, timeworn villages, and a deep-rooted sense of place, these islands feel like whispers from another era—untouched, unhurried, undeniably alluring.

Though close in geography, each has its own rhythm. Sardinia pulses with Italian warmth—wild beaches, robust wines, and rustic cuisine born from the land. Corsica, meanwhile, carries a distinctly French soul, its mountain villages and Mediterranean bays shaped by centuries of dual identity. While their similarities tempt a twin-island itinerary, they’re best savoured individually.

I’ve gathered my go-to spots, local insights, and thoughtful travel tips in this full guide—an invitation to experience both islands in their purest form.

And if they’re calling to you, I’d love to help you plan an escape that’s seamless, soulful, and entirely your own. Get in touch!
