LOCAL FACILITIES: :
Ville di Paraso is an unspoilt village with a small shop selling groceries, a post office and a small bar/restaurant usually open during July and August. In other villages a few minutes away there are bars, restaurants and grocery shops. There are beach cafes at Lozari Bay (our nearest beach - 15 minutes' drive) and, of course, a wide range of facilities at L'Ile Rousse and Calvi. However, with the slower pace of life here, you can also enjoy feasting on excellent local produce at the Mill - including some excellent local wines!
Other Activities:
and, of course, just about any watersport you can think of.
