A holiday in Corsica as a couple is a chance to treat yourselves to the greatest luxury of all: time. Slow mornings, the sea on the horizon, dinners that linger on beneath the pines. For a truly romantic break, choose the east coast, gentler and calmer, a cosy place to stay such as a safari tent or a lodge, and the months of June or September. From our campsite in Ghisonaccia, here are all our ideas for a getaway for two that feels just right for you.
Every season, we welcome couples of all ages: young lovers in camper vans, newlyweds on honeymoon, parents finally treating themselves to a week without the children, retirees coming back to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Deep down, they are all looking for the same thing: a place to reconnect, far from the noise, with just enough comfort to think of nothing but each other. At Camping U Casone, “the big house” in Corsican, we are delighted to offer them that refuge.
Why Corsica’s east coast is perfect for a holiday as a couple
The island’s eastern coast has an understated charm that couples adore. Here, there are no dizzying hairpin bends every time you head out, no coves overrun by 9 o’clock in the morning. The plain stretches out between the mountains and the sea, fine sandy beaches unfurl for miles, and the water, shallow near the shore, invites long swims hand in hand.
The light here is something special. In the morning, the sun rises straight out of the Tyrrhenian Sea and sets the horizon ablaze with pinks and oranges: it’s our best-kept secret for couples. In the evening, the sun slips away behind the mountains, and the peaks stand out in silhouette against a fiery sky. Two daily shows, free of charge, that you’ll never tire of sharing.
With around 2,800 hours of sunshine a year, the east coast also enjoys generous weather from May to October. Ghisonaccia, 3 km from our campsite, has kept its village soul: you can wander its streets, browse the market and linger over a coffee on a café terrace.
💡 U Casone tip: set your alarm once, just once, to watch the sun rise over the sea. Grab a towel, follow the shady path to the beach 700 m away, and wait for the horizon to light up. You’ll be telling us all about it.
Choosing romantic accommodation at the campsite
The little nest you come back to in the evening plays a huge part in the success of a getaway for two. Our campsite offers several options, from the closest to nature to the most comfortable. Here are the ones we most often recommend to couples.
The safari tent: glamping for two
This is probably our most romantic accommodation. A large canvas tent set on a wooden deck in the shade of the pines, designed for 2 to 4 people. You sleep to the rhythm of nature: the song of the cicadas in the afternoon, the wind whispering through the pine needles at night, the birds at dawn. It feels like camping the way it used to be, but with a real bed and plenty of space to live. For a couple, it’s the perfect nest, somewhere between adventure and comfort. Discover it on our safari tent page.
The lodges: comfort, wood and privacy
For those who prefer a little more comfort, our lodges are a lovely alternative. The 55 m² Luxury lodge is designed for 5 or 7 people: it’s best suited to couples travelling with friends or family, or to those who really want space. The Wooden lodge, new for 2026 and sleeping 4, wins hearts with the warmth of its wood. Finally, the Eco lodge will appeal to nature lovers who want to stay as close as possible to the pines.
The pitch: total freedom
Travelling by van, with a tent or in a motorhome? Our pitches of around 100 m² give you all the room you need to set up your own little world, sheltered from view beneath the trees. In the evening, a lamp, two folding chairs and a bottle of Corsican wine: sometimes happiness takes very little.
And if you’d rather stay somewhere with solid walls, the Résidence U Casone also offers chalets, mini-villas and apartments, just a stone’s throw from its small swimming pool.
⛺ Safari tent
2 to 4 people, a wooden deck under the pines: the glamping spirit, ideal for a couple who love nature.
🌲 Wooden lodge
New for 2026, for 4 people: the warmth of wood and the comfort of a real cocoon.
🏡 Luxury lodge
55 m² for 5 or 7 people: perfect for two couples travelling together or the wider family.
🚐 Pitch
Around 100 m² for your tent, van or motorhome, in the shade of the trees.
📍 Did you know? Free Wi-Fi is available at reception, at the bar, at the restaurant and around the pool, but not in the accommodation. For a couple, that’s a blessing: in the evening, you put the phones down and really talk.
Our ideas for days together at the campsite
A kayak trip along the canal
This is the favourite activity of the couples who stay with us. The canal that runs alongside the campsite flows into the sea, and you can paddle gently down it, drifting between the reeds and the glinting sunlight. You go at your own pace, stop to listen to the birds and arrive at the beach from the water. A two-person kayak costs €23 for half a day (€15 for a single): you’ll find all the details on our kayak rental page.
To the beach on foot, along the canal path
The beach is 700 m from the campsite, along a shady path that follows the canal. In the morning it smells of cool earth and pine; at the end of the day it rings with the song of the cicadas. You stroll there hand in hand, a towel over your shoulder, with no car and no parking space to hunt for. In June, the sea is 20 to 22°C; in August, it climbs to 26–27°C; in September, it still holds on to 24–25°C. Plenty of time for long swims, alone together with the horizon.
Lazing by the pool
Some days, all you want to do is read in the sun. Our unheated main pool is next to the bar-restaurant, and a smaller, quieter one is tucked away on the residence side. You alternate between swims and naps, book in hand, before wandering over to the bar for a cool drink.
A moment of well-being
Our massage room is a little haven of peace at the heart of the campsite. After a day of sunshine, walking or kayaking, treating yourselves to this moment of relaxation is a lovely gesture for each other, or for yourself.
An unhurried breakfast
The bar is open all season and serves breakfast every morning. A coffee, a pastry, the sun filtering through the branches: the kind of morning you only ever enjoy on holiday. In July and August, our mini-market also opens in the mornings, with fresh bread, pastries, fruit and Corsican produce, for those who prefer breakfast on their own terrace.
Romantic dinners under the pines
As evening falls, the air gently cools and the pines release their resinous scent. It’s the moment couples love most. From mid-June to mid-September, our restaurant-pizzeria is open every evening: you settle in on the terrace, choose a pizza or a dish, and draw the evening out over a glass of Corsican wine and an ice cream. Pizzas are also available to take away, for an impromptu dinner on the terrace of your accommodation, by candlelight.
In high season, lively evening events set the rhythm of summer. Feel free to drop by for a little dance, or to stay tucked away in the quiet of your own corner of the pine forest.
Keen to discover the island’s cuisine? The local restaurants celebrate brocciu, Corsican charcuterie and fiadone, a fresh cheese cake fragrant with lemon. A wonderful excuse to continue your discoveries beyond the campsite, in a village along the way.
💡 U Casone tip: one evening, take two pizzas to go and a bottle of island wine, and head down to the beach for a picnic at dusk. The sea is calm, the light turns blue, and you’ll have the beach almost to yourselves.
Romantic outings around Ghisonaccia
Our campsite is the ideal base for exploring the area together. A few ideas for full-day or half-day trips:
- The beaches of the east coast: miles of fine sand, often lined with pines, where it’s easy to find a quiet spot, even in summer. Our favourite spots are gathered in our beach guide.
- The Étang de Diana: north of Ghisonaccia, this lagoon is known for its oysters and mussels. A tasting by the water, at the end of the day, is utterly charming.
- The villages of the interior: within a few tens of minutes, the road climbs towards the mountains and their perched stone villages. Silent lanes, shady squares, sweeping views over the plain and the sea: plenty to fill your couple’s photo album.
- Corte: the former capital of independent Corsica, with its citadel perched on a rocky outcrop, makes a day trip from the campsite. A lovely outing for couples curious about history.
- Porto-Vecchio and the south: heading down the coast, you reach the old town of Porto-Vecchio and the famous beaches of the island’s south for a picture-postcard day.
For everything else, our team at reception will be delighted to share their latest favourite places with you.
When should you go to Corsica as a couple?
Our campsite is open from 1 May to mid-October. Each period has its own charms for a getaway for two:
May and June
Nature in bloom, the fragrant maquis, a sea that’s warming up (18–20°C in May, 20–22°C in June) and a campsite that’s still peaceful. Ideal for couples seeking calm.
July and August
High summer: a sea at 25–27°C, the restaurant open every evening, the mini-market in the mornings, lively evenings. More buzz, but always quiet corners under the pines.
September and October
Our favourite for couples: the sea stays warm (24–25°C in September, around 22°C in October), the light turns golden and the campsite rediscovers its gentle pace.
If you’re set on dining at the campsite restaurant, aim for mid-June to mid-September. Outside those dates, the bar stays open all season for breakfast and aperitifs, and there’s a small supermarket 500 m from the campsite.

Our conclusion: Corsica for two, to the rhythm of the pines and the sea
A romantic holiday in Corsica is above all about simple moments: a sunrise over the sea, a kayak trip down the canal, a pizza shared under the pines, a night lulled by the wind against the canvas of a safari tent. At U Casone, we don’t promise you extravagance, but a sincere, warm and luminous interlude, where you take the time to reconnect. We’ll be delighted to welcome you to our big house.
