Best area to stay the first week of November

My wife and I have never been to Corsica and see that the weather in November is rainy. Which area has the least rain or is about the same all over the island. We were planning to rent a villa.

Thankyou

David and Cynthia Huber

In November Corsica will be colder with some rain and approaching winter. October would be a better month to catch some late summer sun, and there would be more life and activity on the island. In low season, I would have thought that the Balagne area around Calvi would offer the best scenario for a holiday, and possibly for better weather too.

The latest in the year I have visited Corsica is 2nd week of October and we enjoyed a week of gentle sun and blue skies, no rain, but of course we may have been lucky. Good luck !

I%26#39;ve been at my cottage in southern Corsica during every month in the year, over the last 30 years, and so experienced just about everything the weather can through at you*. Certainly November can be very changeable (although you do have the chestnuts to compensate!) In my experience east is best in terms of the weather in November. I%26#39;ve often been across to Solanzara starting in the cloud and rain and finishing in the sun as the cloud breaks on the peaks. The very north-east however (Bastia northwards) can be extremely windy in November.

* fortunately I missed the catastrophic floods of late October 1993

Thankyou very much for the quicky and helpful replies. This is my first time on a Tripadvisor Forum and my goodness, it works efficiently.

Checking the weather, it looks like Calvi is a bit warmer and a few less rain days than other parts of the island in Oct and Nov. YOur note on the wind in November in the far North is good to know too. Don%26#39;t want to get sand blasted.

Thank you so much for your help
