Well organized with lots of introduction. Highly recommend to visit, in contrast, you’ll be more satisfy if you lower your expectations. It might be less collection if you’re a collector for seeing. But lots of emotions if you’re interesting in history of a great man :)

A history of Napoleon and his house where he was born is revealed in his Maison.

An excellent preservation of Napoleon's house and the story of his life and his family history and genealogy. Definitely recommend using the portable audio guide; you will learn so much. Walk through at your own pace. The walls in the house are hand-painted and look like wallpaper. Furniture dates back to the 1700's and is exquisite.

A must for fans of the Napoleon's wars as well as of Napoleon. A bit sterile inside, derived from its past as a public hosting location I think. The culture of Napoleon deserves greater investigation and more exhibits. Well run.

Super but no traslation on English

I really enjoyed it, we went on my birthday and it was beautiful to see the rooms and decors together with the paintings. It was kind of confusion because everything was in french and there was an audio guide but sometimes the story did not flow that well. nevertheless i really enjoyed it and spent quite some time strolling around there.

The museum is well done. Panels are all in French but we were also given an overview brochure in English. There might be an audio guide but I didn’t notice anyone using one

It was just ok. It’s not as beautiful as I excepted and the staff there are not very friendly.

Cool to check out, very informative! Beware everything is in French! Also the bookstore had no English books!

I have only one complaint, all the descriptions are in French, no English, no German, I sincerely think they should improve those.

Very beautiful place. The only thing is that everything is in French and there was not any audioguide in other languages.

It is an amazing experience, been able to see places like this in such good state of preservation.

Wow wow and wow. Ajaccio is a must visit, maison de Bonaparte is a must! Incredible place, incredible story

Was a nice visit to see the birth place of Napoleon, where he lived until the age of Nine.

Austera y llena de objetos de la familia, un sitio curioso que merece la pena visitar si eres amante de lugares históricos. Napoleón, para bien o para mal no deja de ser uno de los personajes históricos mas destacados de Europa. (Translated by Google) Austere and full of family objects, a curious place that is worth visiting if you are a lover of historical places. Napoleon, for better or worse, remains one of the most outstanding historical figures in Europe.

The worst travel experience in my life. I will never book on there ferries. I travelled in family with my car on the ferry Daniel Casanova. They sent a reminder before a week with our family ticket, they shortened the boarding time, without mentioning it in the mail neither highlighted in the tickets. Then they changed the gate without communicating the info. So we spent hours driving between all port gates. We were a minutes to miss the ferry and they were not reachable by phone. Later on the ferry, restaurants were closed, only one was open -also they did not communicate the info, at least we could bring with us foods- so there was a queue of 1 hour to get a lunch.. all these mess within a travel of 24 hours. Avoid this company, if you have the choice.

affordable, safe, the Catholic clergyman was kind to me and we went for a drive. its like the Tasmania of France. lovely.

Nice rooms, nice bar. Much better (and better for the environment) than taking an airplane! Only I think there should be more of a discount for passengers without a car.

We were a bit anxious after reading bad reviews but our experiences with Corsica Linea have been very good. We had to cancel a sailing planned earlier in the year because of the covid19 outbreak and were refunded without issues. We finally could make the sailing in June and everything went very smoothly. 4 person cabin bigger than expected with large window. The only thing that could be improved is that announcements are in French only.

Have used the services of Corsica Linea a few times now. Easy access, friendly staff and usually plenty of space to relax if you haven't booked a cabin.

Neither the pin location on this map (as at 06NOV18) nor the one they tell you in your booking confirmation are correct for pedestrian passengers ("Gare Corse Joliette" simply doesn't exist) , making it very confusing for pedestrian embarkation and causing a lot of stress. Either arrive very early to find it (it's sort of south of the shopping mall, unsigned) or better still, catch Corsica-Sardinia Ferries who seem much more organised overall and let you roam outside on the deck, which wasn't possible bar one small space on Corsica Linea's service to Bastia.

Boat was a bit dated. The room shook a lot and was quite noisy which made it difficult to sleep.

The only lasting impression is that the lightning ensures you can’t see the paintings because of the glare. In addition, ask whether the chapel is open before paying the entry fee.

The chapel was included, but overrated; the actual museum was fantastic though! Recommendation for improvement is to either add a translation to the text (or a QR code). What I loved about the museum was the depth of artwork it presented; it didn't have an overwhelming religious focus. Instead it sectioned each floor with a different focus: Corsica art in the basement, Napoleon Bonaparte and Bonaparte family on the ground floor, religious focus at the first floor that was mostly Christian themed, but did have some pagan themes, and everyday life artwork on the second floor.

Ajaccio guive you many perspectives to enjoy. Don't forget this experience.

Some great paintings with fantastic history behind them. We had a tour guide and the tour finished here, it was definitely worth paying for the guide.

The lighting on the paintings in nearly every room made them difficult to see except from certain view points. I particularly liked the Napoleon exhibit and the hallway of still life paintings

Fine arts of Corsica, history of napoleon and chapel of the Bonaparte family crypt! Must see!

it is very historic with lots of paintings and information on napoleon

It is hard to believe that this was part of a private collection, there is so much to see. We were fortunate to have an outside guide for an hour to explain some of the paintings to us which really provided an informed perspective and understanding of what we were looking at. Without that perspective, this would have been just another art museum.

Easy afternoon at the museum. Some nice and some weird paintings.

Fantastic place. The collection is impressive and well presented. I would gladly come back !

I really liked it here. My only criticism is the lighting. Some of the paintings had such a glare on them it made it impossible to see them properly. The big black sculpture, for example, shouldn't be in front of the window....the light behind it makes it hard to see. It would be nice to have translations in other languages even if it's via the internet using a QR code. Apart from that it's very clean and the staff were pleasant.

Most of the works belong to Italian artists, not comparable to the Louvre or orsay. high ticket prices and no discount for student.

I visited the museum last Saturday during the open night therefore the entry was free. I saved 8€ entry fees. The lighting is terrible and the best paintings are not highlighted. However I recommend visiting the chapel next door.

Not a enormous museum, but has some pretty amazing paintings. Recommend downloading their app for a guided experience during the visit.

Napoleon!!!!!!!

Great space to walk around, with a large stage where they perform performances, presiding over the square is a statue of Napoleon. The tourist train makes a stop to take photos.

(Translated by Google) Just visited Napoleon there 😀. Clean place as a forecourt to the monument. The only annoying thing is that you have to wait to get such pictures. Because everyone somehow feels the need to climb all the way up to take selfies with the gentleman. Definitely a must see 👀 when in Ajaccio 😀 (Original) Mal eben Napoleon dort besucht 😀. Sauberer Platz als Vorhof zum Denkmal. Nervig ist nur, das man warten muss, um solche Bilder zubekommen. Denn jeder hat irgendwie das Bedürfnis ganz rauf zu klettern um Selfies mit dem Herrn zu machen. Sollte man sich auf jeden Fall anschauen 👀, wenn man in Ajaccio ist 😀

Large monument in honour of Napoleon, in a mid sized park, some small shops nearby for gifts and drinks/snacks

All about Napoleon and his birth place of corsica

Must Visit when in Ajaccio!

One of the many statues of Napoleon in this city Make sure you visit them all 😜

Corsica was brill great food and bars and history

Weather was a bit hot and humid, but napoleon was everywhere

Quand on pense aux îles Sanguinaires, on pense à Ajaccio mais aussi à Alphonse Daudet et les " lettres de mon moulin". Le site est somptueux, l'archipel, comme posé sur la mer reflète sa verdure entre les immensités bleutée qui l'entoure. Un endroit incontournable pour qui vient dans la baie d'Ajaccio. (Translated by Google) When we think of the Sanguinaires Islands, we think of Ajaccio but also of Alphonse Daudet and the “letters from my mill”. The site is sumptuous, the archipelago, as if placed on the sea, reflects its greenery between the blue immensities that surround it. An unmissable place for anyone coming to the bay of Ajaccio.

If you are visiting Ajeccio then the short drive/cycle down is well worth the view. Take some water on a hot day. There is a cafe/gift shop but your bottle of water will help you to and from the views of the archipelago!

A voir absolument si vous passez par Ajaccio. Très bel endroit. (Translated by Google) A must see if you pass through Ajaccio. Beautiful area.

So beautiful. A truly special place

magnifique endroit, mérite le détour. Vu sur le golfe d'Ajaccio (Translated by Google) magnificent place, worth the detour. Seen on the Gulf of Ajaccio

L'Archipel des Sanguinaire est un site majestueux, aussi beau par grand beau temps que des journées plus sombres. C'est un site incontournable, à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte. Le clou du spectacle est au soleil couchant, les couchers de soleil sont magnifiques. Un grand nombre personnes s'y déplacent chaque soirs. Le plus beau moment c'est lorsque le soleil s'est couché, qu'il n'est plus visible au dessus de la mer. Je vous conseille vivement de rester encore 30 minutes pour vraiment découvrir et apprécier ces couleurs dans le ciel. Vous pouvez aussi prendre le tout petit petit chemin qui monte pour vous rendre à l'extrémité pour bénéficier d'un spectacle encore plus majestueux (Translated by Google) The Sanguinaire Archipelago is a majestic site, as beautiful in good weather as it is on darker days. It is an unmissable site, not to be missed under any circumstances. The highlight of the show is at sunset, the sunsets are magnificent. A large number of people go there every evening. The most beautiful moment is when the sun has set and is no longer visible above the sea. I strongly advise you to stay another 30 minutes to really discover and appreciate these colors in the sky. You can also take the very small path that goes up to get to the end to enjoy an even more majestic spectacle.

Très Jolie balade a faire (Translated by Google) Very nice walk to do

Un magnifique Archipel, depuis le ponton il faut compter 10 minutes pour accéder au Phare des Îles Sanguinaires avec un plus fort dénivelé que pour le Sémaphore de Mezzu Mare accesible en 5 minutes depuis le ponton. Le coucher de soleil depuis cette endroit est magnifique. (Translated by Google) A magnificent Archipelago, from the pontoon it takes 10 minutes to access the Sanguinaires Islands Lighthouse with a greater difference in altitude than for the Mezzu Mare Semaphore, accessible in 5 minutes from the pontoon. The sunset from this place is magnificent.

Magnifique vue et baignade . Si on ne venait pas de maddalena j'aurais mis 5 pour les eaux de baignades. 😊 (Translated by Google) Magnificent view and swimming. If we didn't come from Maddalena I would have given 5 for the bathing waters. 😊

Site incontournable à faire lors d'un passage sur Ajaccio ! Fait en matinée pour profiter de la lumière, sinon à faire en bateau en soirée pour admirer le coucher de soleil ! (Translated by Google) A must-see site to visit when visiting Ajaccio! Done in the morning to take advantage of the light, otherwise do it by boat in the evening to admire the sunset!

Super scenic and beautiful point. Strongly recommend.

(Translated by Google) A simply extraordinary place to hike in the wild nature of Corsica. Be careful not to feel like your wings are growing for too long a hike. 4km in the mountains with the children is quite tiring. The telephone network does not always work and there is no water point so plan a small bottle. To do absolutely. (Original) Un endroit juste extraordinaire ou randonner dans la nature sauvage de la Corse. Attention à ne pas se sentir pousser des ailes pour une randonnée trop longue. 4km en montagne avec les enfants c'est assez fatiguant. Le réseau téléphonique ne passe pas toujours et il n'y a pas de point d'eau alors prévoyez une petite bouteille. A faire absolument.

(Translated by Google) Worth the detour ! 3 trails offered: - on the right a steep path - on the left a very accessible path - the red path: take the stairs to climb to the tower I advise you to climb the view is impressive on the peninsula The paths are short and fast, the turn is done quickly, seen on the islands in front (Original) Vaut le détour ! 3 sentiers proposés : - à droite un sentier escarpé - à gauche un sentier très accessible - le sentier rouge : prendre les escaliers pour monter à la tour Je vous conseille de monter la vue est impressionnante sur la presqu’île Les sentiers sont courts et rapides, le tour se fait rapidement, vu sur les îles en face

Beautiful place. Very nice seaview

Excellent walk to see a magnificent landscape. The walk is nice and easy.

(Translated by Google) A hiking loop of about an hour is very pleasant. The views are magnificent over the Sanguinaires Islands and the coast. (Original) Une boucle de randonnée d'une heure environ est très agréable. Les points de vue sont magnifiques sur les Îles Sanguinaires et la côte.

(Translated by Google) Very nice little walk, accessible with children who are used to hiking (5 and 8 years old). Parking with trash cans and toilets (Original) Très belle petite balade, accessible avec des enfants qui ont l'habitude de randonner (5 et 8 ans). Parking avec poubelles et wc

(Translated by Google) An idyllic place that is easy to access even for people with reduced mobility (a free electric shuttle is available from the car park) Magnificent view of the Sanguinaires (Original) Un endroit idyllique facile d'accès même pour les personnes à mobilité réduite (une navette électrique gratuite est mise à leur disposition au départ du parking) Vue magnifique sur les Sanguinaires

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place to see in Ajaccio. Place accessible to families (strollers) or reduced mobility. (Original) Très beau lieu à voir à Ajaccio. Lieu accessible en famille (poussette) ou mobilité réduite.

(Translated by Google) Superb place, there are hikes for all levels, the setting is magnificent. There are plans to guide you to the Parata house. On site there is a very nice restaurant and a souvenir shop. (Original) Superbe endroit, il y a des randonnées pour tous les niveaux, le cadre est magnifique. Il y a des plans pour se guider à la maison de la Parata. Sur place il y a un restaurant très sympa et une boutique de souvenirs.

Very interesting little cathedral. Unassuming on the outside. Inside there is some beautifully intricate stucco decor, but a fair bit of it is chalked on - I wonder why? Budget cuts? Plenty of candles to light inside if you have recently lost a loved one/ are worried about your bowel movements following that dodgy sandwich you are next door. There is also a brilliant organ behind you as you walk in, so don't forget to look up and all around you.

Nice church that needs some loving restoration to bring out the beauty of art n

Everything of napoleon is worth to visit.

Beautiful historical church. Stay inside you will feel calm and peace.

Quiet lovely places to have dinner

Lovely building inside and outside too, so special inside if that's your Religion or your interest.

The cathedral was closed when we were there, so that was disappointing. We also were surprised that the cathedral only takes up half of the block - it is rather small for a main draw. The front park and facade are nice, but that is all I experienced. It is hard to think of this smallish church as a main attraction in a city. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt with a 4 star rating.

It's a good store where you can do regular grocery shopping any time you need. And the prices aren't too high. There is a toilet.

Mooi opgezette winkel (Translated by Google) Nicely laid out store

Bien, Nicely okay

Good shop, especially they have sections for local products.

Good variety but it's little expensive compared to market they are in.

My favorite market in this area. Clean, i can find everithing what i need, and the worker is helpfull.

Nice middle sized supermarket with good choice of vegetables and fruits.

Expensive not enough h people on check out often long queues

Great guidance and english speaking staff. Super friendly and helpfull!

Asking for a bureau de change they had only one suggestion, thehotel Kalliste. When i went there i was told that they only change American dollars. They had no other suggestions, and made no further attempt to help. They did not know if the central post office was open or shut. Less use than an ashtray on a motorbike.

Very unfriendly, Four employees and not a Single one is Able to speak a word in english Edit: we were also Cruise passengers on that day. We spoke to a female employee who said in french that she can Not speak english. We asked for other employees but again she replied that Nobody speak english . We looked to the other employees and They like rejected us in body language. We visited the Office at roundabout 13:00h. At that time no other cruise passenger were in the office and all other guests/tourists spoke french. We cant imagine that suddenly all employees learned multiple languages or there were a shift change or something like that. Finally we cant Imagine that a lot of tourists received help on that day. Very dissapointing for a touristic Office in a town like ajaccio.

Very helpful and informative. We were pleased with the service provided.

De medewerker deed zijn best. Maar de chaos aan stroom leveringen van de auto laadpalen in Frankrijk kon hij niet oplossen. (Translated by Google) The employee did his best. But he could not solve the chaos of power deliveries from car charging stations in France.

Very friendly and helpful. Spoke great English! Provided us with maps and recommendations for beaches, lakes, walks and supermarkets.

The tourist office in Ajaccio is a good starting point if you want to visit the city they offer guided tours of the city every day and they can give advice on the best places to visit and book some concerts and musical events for you.

Tres petite pour le mond qu'arrive. Raally little, to many people waiting i the street

Incredible food and such friendly service, the server was very patient with us as we didn’t understand the menu in French. Beautiful view and lovely place to hire pedalos and sun beds next to restaurant. 100% recommend.

Heerlijk gegeten! Eten is super vers en smaakt geweldig. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en attent Echt een aanrader. (Translated by Google) Delicious food! Food is super fresh and tastes great. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive Highly recommended.

great beach, amazing water.. food was nice. umbrellas and chairs are 23€ one, 38€ two. but the pedal boats with slides are so much fun and free to use if you pay for chair

Very nice place. Coctails a bit over priced but very good. Staff was very nice. Unfortunetly they didnt have food for us, so we had to leave. Kitchen closed till 19:30h.

Fabulous view and location. Service good, food good (tomato mozzarella excellent, Entrecôte de porc good, Cafe gourmand disappointing), wine ok and prices reasonable for the view and location.

Very rude waiter. As sign for pizzeria on the building, we asked what pizza there was. Given there was none on menu. He shouted at “drink?” I asked again what pizza he had. Again. “ No -drink?? Shouted back at me angrily. We walked out. Doesn’t deserve our custom

Erg lekker eten en bediening die je moet meemaken, stoere norse mannen piraten stijl met een heerlijke gastvrijheid (Translated by Google) Very tasty food and service that you must experience, tough, gruff men, pirate style with wonderful hospitality

We had the seafood pizza. The best pizza 🍕 I've ever had. I'd definitely recommend eating here.

Nice place to walk around. A couple of craft shops and a bar with a DJ blasting vibes to happy locals(?).

(Translated by Google) Secular Ligurian construction of immense potential but completely left to abandonment and neglect (like many other areas of the city). Some unclear explanatory panels and only in French. The municipality should invest more in the historical heritage of the city which seems to focus only and only on I'm blessed Napoleon. (Original) Secolare costruzione ligure di immenso potenziale ma completamente lasciata all’abbandono e all’incuria (come molte altre zone della città). Qualche pannello esplicativo poco chiaro e solo in lingua francese. Il comune dovrebbe investire di più sul patrimonio storico della città che sembra focalizzarsi solo e soltanto su sto benedetto Napoleone.

This is a nice place for a walk and a casual uncrowded experience of the citadel of Corsica.

(Translated by Google) The fact of accessing the citadel is very good. But the heritage is abandoned, there is major renovation work, but a great potential for transformation, especially in renovated urban wasteland. The historical heritage should be highlighted, especially for the memory of the place. (Original) Le fait d'accéder à la citadelle est très bien. Mais le patrimoine est a l'abandon, il y a de gros travaux de rafraîchissement, mais un gros potentiel de transformation notamment en friche urbaine rénovée. Le patrimoine historique devrait être mit en valeur, surtout pour la mémoire du lieu.

Not much here. Probably a really interesting story but not told at all. Looks like a bunch of buildings abandoned and uncared for.

Es interesante por su historia y sus vista sobre Ajaccio..vale la pena la visita guiada (Translated by Google) It is interesting for its history and its views over Ajaccio...it is worth the guided tour

Lovely place to visit. An icon of the city

A bit empty. Most businesses closed at the beginning of October. Wished more enthusiasm from locals. Everything else, naturally beautiful

Super

Most of the actual citadel is unreachable because it is under reconstruction and decontamination after the city of ajaccio got it back from the state. But the beach is nice, and there are some really cool sculpures and history there.

The view is great from here. Other than that mo much to see

Well worth a visit.Free entry interesting art installations and a great cafe .

A nice not too difficult 3h hike, but the spots from which the view is nice are rare. Most of the trail is under the sun, so avoid hot days/hours and bring hats/scarves and lots of water.

Mooi uitzichtspunt, helaas erg veel bomen en begroeiing ervoor, hierdoor wordt het uitzicht een beetje belemmerd. Ook geen schaduw. (Translated by Google) Nice viewpoint, unfortunately a lot of trees and vegetation in front of it, which obstructs the view a bit. No shade either.

Super nice 3h hike with beautiful views over the whole bay. There is a very useful app called Capa Scopre which shows you the different paths, their difficulty and also gives you interesting facts about the flora, fauna and the history of the area. It uses your Bluetooth and sends you notifications and topic suggestions. I definitely recommend downloading it before the hike. (There is a free WiFi zone in the beginning of the trail at Bois des Anglais). Pro tip : plan your hike wisely. Don't recommend doing it at the warmest moments of the day because the trail is quite open and the heat here could be exhausting. Don't repeat my mistake. Tip 2 : go straight to the sea afterwards

Amazing hike if you have the time. We enjoyed the hike. Girlfriend made the trip while 3 months pregnant. Shes tough

Worth the hike. Incredible views onto Ajaccio bay

5 Stars

A magical place to visit... what an experience

Best thing I do in Ajaccio
