Hi Richard. We flew to Bastia both visits and rented a car there. I's a 1 hour scenic drive from the airport to Monticello. You can also fly to Ajaccio airport, but the drive will be substantially longer. You can't drive up from Ajaccio along the coast, since it is so winding it will take a whole day, so you need to travel inland by Corte. There are frequent ferries from south of France (Nice) to L'ile Rousse. Public transport is non existent, so you definitely need a car to get around. In Monticello you can walk from the hotel to the village square in easy 10 min, no problem. There is a great restaurant there. But for anything else you need to pop down to L'ile Rousse which is a 10 min drive. There is walking from the hotel doorstep, but you will feel limited without a car, missing out on great walks within short drives in the area. Good luck!

Dear guest, I confirm ; we have a good wifi connection at the hotel for a usual use (could be complicated if you intend to download heavy files...). Marina
