Potential for Gite in Corsica?

[Dan Chase]

Hi All,

Having just engaged my dreaming head again I was considering the feasability of a gite in Corsica.  Initial thoughts were 2-4 beds, detached, lovely views of the mountains and sea (though not right on the coast as this prices me out) and the obligatory pool.

Now, typical letting season for a gite in France would be around 8 weeks - give or take depending on location.  Would the rather fine weather in Corsica be likely to increase the letting season as it would, say in Spain?

Weekly rental I would expect to pay in a good area of France for this sort of property would be around £1,200 - £1,500 but I have never rented in Corsica - is this figure about right?

Let me know what you all think before I step out into the cold north wind of a typical May day here in Blighty.......

Thanks, Dan.
