We stayed five nights in Daniela's lovely home in Patù. Organising arrival and communication was all very easy and when we arrived to a warm welcome from Daniela we immediately felt at home. The home is the converted stables in an old olive oil factory and it oozes charm with rustic feel, contemporary details and modern conveniences. A lot of special thought has gone in to making the home the way it is and it is immediately noticeable. The garden is quiet and relaxing and the outdoor kitchen and dining area are stunning and worthy of spending a lazy day at home.

Patù itself is a charming, friendly town and everything is short walking distance away. We really enjoyed the local market and we stocked up on everything from cheese, nuts, bread, biscotti, meat, fruit and vegetable all in the town square a few metres from home. We highly recommend visiting the tourist information centre in the centre of town to get local maps and an interesting guidebook for walks to a nearby ancient settlement and also bicycle rides to the coast a few kilometres away.

Fantastic beaches are a short drive away and we really enjoyed the sandy and less crowded Felloniche where you can also find some shade, relax in a bit of style and eat at the beach club Marinelli. The picturesque San Gregorio is the next beach along the coast and the seafood and view at Ristorante Del Moro is excellent. Closer to home we enjoyed the grill restaurant Braceria Petracca and when not feeling compelled to eat out, we used the bbq at the house and the amazingly fresh and tasty local produce available in Patù.

It was difficult to leave A Patù in Corte and we wish to return in the near future. Thanks very much Daniela for a memorable holiday.
