Chez Pierrot

For a quintessential Corsican experience in an utterly tranquil setting, on the Mare a Mare trail at 1200m altitude, bookmark Chez Pierrot, 5km uphill from Quenza. Three-dorm gîte, four-room B&B, restaurant and equestrian centre, all rolled into one, it’s run by the idiosyncratic, charismatic Pierrot, who’s lived here since early childhood. Horse-riding is available April to October (€47, one hour).
