We're trying to book a honeymoon for late June and can't decide between Corsica, Sardinia (or even mainland Italy).


We will hire a car when we're there and don't mind doing a 'twin centre' type thing as we'll have 2 weeks. Any thoughts? Ideally we'd have a mix of

- visiting sleepy mountain villages

- some mountainy activities, e.g kayaking, hiking

- a few days to see gorgeous white beaches


Not fussed about St Tropez style glamour. We thought Corsica, but some have said it's SO expensive to eat.


Thanks in advance

I've visited Sardinia but not Corsica. My general impression is that the latter is slightly more upmarket cf. the former. Sardinia is blessed with some magnificent, remote geography - beaches, cliffs, and an empty interior punctuated by a few small towns. You'll probably need a car. The small La Maddalena islands just off the north coast, with what seemed to be tropical beaches and Garibaldi's house (now a museum), were a highlight.


Whichever island you choose, have fun.

Been to both a number of times. Corsica gets the vote for its splendid scenery and being slightly more civilised than Sardinia.(Berlusconi has a place on the costa smeralda in Sardinia) Chocoholic, if you went round the island in an hour it must have been Canvey Island you went to!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
