Corsica is a mysterious island made of tradition and generosity, so what better period could describe it than Christmas? It is under the summer sun that you have left your villa at Les Oliviers de Palombaggia in Porto –Vecchio, but it is the story of our island in winter that we will tell you …

Around the 24^th and 25^th of December a very special atmosphere comes to invade the Corsican villages. Families gather there and meet elders, share secret family recipe and recollect children’s memories and anecdotes.
It is indeed, at that time of the year that you can truly taste the Corsican culture and gastronomy… Canistrelli, frappe, brocciu, fiadone, figatelli, prizuttu, pulenta, clementines…
The best of what Corsica has to offer is to be found on your table, and do not forget “u piattu di u puvarettu”, the poor man’s dish, another cover at the Christmas table for anyone in needs who comes to your door, Corsican hospitality is not a myth…
