About the City
Bonifacio is the largest commune on the isle of Corsica, located on the southern most shores of the island just west of Cap Pertusato. Its name comes from Boniface II Marquis of Tuscany, a former defender of Corse from the 8th-9th century.
It lies right on the shores of the Mediterranean, separated from Sardinia by the Strait of Bonifacio. Its position, as part of an island in the middle of the sea, and its warm climate assures the perfect settings for a wonderful summer destination, among the olive plantations and Italian style buildings.
The cultural heritage preserver within the walls of the city is quite impressive, although it did not forget to promote itself in fields such as economy or tourism. The people are warm, the conditions are delightful and the view from the marina is breathtaking.
