Seize The Day With A Corsican, France Honeymoon TravelHoneymoon
09/19/2007 03:09 p.m.
In an enchanted corner of the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, the Carpe Diem Palazzu (Seize The Day Palace) is the location for an extravagant honeymoon steeped in heritage, tradition and history. Time has come to a standstill within the stone walls of this feudal Lord's residence and every aspect of this magnificent location will contribute to timeless memories.
Your travel agent can book the honeymoon couple in this magical Palace location just ten minutes but a world away from the busy port town of Ajaccio. The entire Palace hotel has retained the original building materials from four centuries ago: The massive granite blocks, rich oak wood flooring and detailing, and imposing architecture all contribute to a completely unique and exceptional honeymoon experience. However, when you want to be pampered you can enjoy professional massage with essential oils, or you can also relax in the Zen Garden, the bubbling Jacuzzi, the refreshing pool, or the revitalizing Hammam Turkish Bath.
There are six suites which welcome the honeymoon couple with every possible and imaginable amenity. Each suite is on two levels and covers over 700 square feet in truly palatial area. The ultramodern facilities blend with the traditional priceless antique furniture and the enormous overhead ancient oak beams, to produce an effect that is both stunning and unforgettable. Your travel agent can book you into this haven where the new couple can experience the finest luxury within a context of seventeenth century opulence.
You don't even have to leave the suite to enjoy the Carpe Diem Palazzu's famous spuntinu, which is a Corsican brunch. It can be served directly into your suite, so that you may enjoy the finest in Corsican cuisine while gazing out your window at the impressive vistas over the village and the surrounding hillsides, rich and verdant with Mediterranean flora. All of this combines into an experience which provides the maximum comfort and tranquillity and is all available through your travel agent.
Should you choose to leave the suite for dinner, you will find one of the foremost examples of Corsican fine dining and entertainment within the red bricked dining hall. Dinner in Corsica is a festive affair with guitar playing minstrels conducting singalongs and various local entertainment acts performing while you dine on some of the island's finest delicacies, including delectable fish such as sea bream, red mullet, pandora, red scorpionfish, and monkfish; shellfish as rock lobster, squillfish and spider crab; as well as longline mussels and oysters directly from the Diane pond. You may also enjoy a traditional speciality: mullet roe, cured and dried to make boutargue, known as "Corsican caviar." The local pork is renowned around the Mediterranean and you can enjoy a variety of prizuttu (prosciutto) made from the haunch, coppa (loin), bulagna (cheek), pancetta (belly), or lonzu (tenderloin).
The honeymoon couple may also choose to dine in splendid solitude under the wide starlit Corsican sky, and the Palace's staff will be happy to arrange a private candlelit dinner amidst the olive groves, where among the citrus scented sea breezes, the newly married honeymooners can revel in luxuriant isolation. The Carpe Diem Palazzu is certainly one of the Mediterranean's prime honeymoon destinations that your travel agent can book you in to.
