Packing Tips

Documents & Essentials

Valid passport

Travel insurance information

Driver's license for anyone renting or driving a car

Credit and debit cards

Some euros in cash for markets, parking and smaller shops

Phone charger and portable battery

European power adapter — Type C or E

Digital copies of flight, villa, rental-car and activity confirmations

Any prescription medication you may need for the full week

Beach & Swim Gear

At least two swimsuits

Beach cover-up or sarong

Beach towel, unless confirmed as provided by the villa

Snorkel mask, optional but useful for the Lavezzi Islands

Waterproof phone pouch

Small dry bag for the boat

Flip-flops or easy sandals

Water shoes, optional for rocky coves and natural swimming areas

Sun Protection

The Corsican sun is strong, especially on the water.

Clothing

Most of the week is casual. Think breathable fabrics, easy layers and pieces that can go from the beach to lunch.

Lightweight daywear in linen, cotton or other breathable fabrics

Shorts, skirts, sundresses and relaxed sets

Comfortable walking shoes with grip for Bonifacio and Sartène

Flat sandals for casual dinners

One light cardigan, overshirt or jacket for the boat and breezier evenings

Sleepwear and comfortable clothes for time at the villa

A 2000s-inspired look for the villa pool party

An elevated summer outfit for dinner among the vines at Domaine de Peretti della Rocca

For the winery dinner, think beautiful but relaxed, not formal: flowy dresses, linen sets, polished separates and shoes that can handle gravel or uneven ground. Avoid delicate stilettos.

For Excursion Days

Corsica-Specific Tips

Bring mosquito repellent for evenings outdoors.

Many historic streets are steep, polished and uneven — fashion sneakers or supportive sandals are more useful than flimsy flats.

Avoid leaving luggage, shopping bags or valuables visible inside rental cars.

Keep a little cash available for parking machines, market stalls and small vendors.
