Mentioned on

Maison Bonaparte, a national museum, was the family home of the Bonapartes from 1682 to 1923. It is where Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769. The house offers insights into the family's history and Napoleon's early life. Visitors can see the room of Napoleon's birth and learn about the family through a multi-lingual audioguide.
Fascinating glimpse into life in the 1700’s in Corsica and its history involving the British and Italian peoples who colonised the Island from time to time 😉 The audio guide is essential to get the most from your visit as the info panels are only in French. The queue was exceptionally well handled and ensured that the rooms in this house were never overcrowded as they are typical of houses of this period.

If you’re fascinated by history, this is a must-see. It’s amazing to visit the actual house where Napoleon grew up, so much to take in and imagine from that era! But they could have made effort to make it a better experience.
Sara — Google review
This significant house, the childhood home of Napoleon Bonaparte, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle, furniture, and daily life of the family. However, the experience could be enhanced and made more educational. Unfortunately, there were no English text provided, and the audio guides were unavailable. As a result, we felt that we didn’t get as much as we had hoped. We would appreciate it if they could incorporate movies or videos that showcase the daily life of the family, their habits, and a brief history of the family tree. This would provide enthusiasts with much more to explore and learn. The ticket was 7 Euros per adult.

Napoleon's birthplace. Interesting museum, although not much is the same as when he lived there. His history and that of his family is well outlined. You are given an audio tour device at the door and the narration is pretty good in English. In early October there was a small line up to get in, but it went quickly. Note that the museum is closed for about 45 minutes around lunchtime. Avoid bringing large backpacks if you can. Security check at the door.

Nice little piece of great European history. Museum dedicated solely to Napoleon's early life, without emphasis on his military career. Well organised and not very crowded. Ten minutes waiting for entrance is to be expected and no liquids allowed inside.
J B — Google review
If you visit Ajaccio, you should definitely stop by this place — the house where Napoleon spent part of his life, now turned into a museum. The entrance fee is €7 for visitors over the age of 25.

So this was the childhood home of Napolis whom left at 9 years old to go to France military academy. He led a troubled youth on the island. So his dad shipped him off to military school with his brother. Inter sting note. This is not where he was as exiled to. Just where he started life. Family was poor. Rented rooms in the home. It was only many years later the family came into favor and money with the military escapades of Napoleon. Who interestingly sought to place his sisters and brothers in positions of power all throughout Europe. A very modest old building. Nothing really great to see but history as it occurred.

Art museum
The Fesch Museum, located in the building once inhabited by Cardinal Joseph Fesch, Napoleon's maternal uncle, is a palace museum with a rich European art collection. Renowned for its Italian Masters and Napoleonic Collection, it also houses valuable Corsican paintings. The museum boasts an impressive array of Italian Primitive paintings from the 14th-15th century and holds 'museum of France' status.
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.
Adam W — Google review
Nice artwork. Some of the artwork had too much direct sunlight to enjoy. Some of the darker pieces could have been best shown in a darker room as well. With relation to the artwork, I would have half the price of the entry ticket.
TravelingDave — Google review
Inconsistent family concept We were right in the middle of doing one of the family panflets when we first earned many mean looks and surveillance by the first floor staff. We didn't do anything wrong though, didn't run around, didn't touch anything, didn't eat, only talked about the art and the panflet. That probably annoyed them. Then all of a sudden we were told off VERY RUDELY for leaving our trolley in another room for a second while completing one of tasks (you had to search for a painting). When we took it with us we were SHOUTED AT that we have to navigate in the center of the corridor instead of to the right (we didn't want to block oncoming traffic). Ridiculous. Rules were clearly improvised to get rid of us. Overall, we felt excluded as a family in a sad case of adultism. How are you supposed to ignite interest in arts in children when they are made to feel unwelcome in museums that propagate to be family-friendly?

If you are an art lover you are going to be engaged but not bowled over. Not the highlight one hopes for but there are some works from famous names and a lot of division two. Centre of old Ajaccio so you are going to visit but don't pin your holiday on it. Like so often en France, the beat is in Paris. The Bonaparte fetish is also in full swing which, despite the fact the locals don't like the guy, they milk him for all his ermine clad imperial worth.

Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta is a 16th-century Catholic cathedral located in Ajaccio, known for its baroque architecture and historical significance. It holds the distinction of being the baptism site of Napoleon Bonaparte in July 1771. The cathedral overlooks the sea and features a red marble plaque expressing Napoleon's last wishes to be buried with his ancestors in Corsica.
FIVE STARS – The interior of the Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta in Corsica (Ajaccio), France, is unexpectedly bold, beautiful and grand, especially when compared to the relative understated exterior of the structure. Napoleon Bonaparte's memorial is nearby...

Joe L — Google review
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.

Restaurant
A Nepita is a cozy restaurant in Ajaccio, offering traditional Corsican cuisine with a contemporary twist. Run by British chef Simon Andrews and his wife Roberta, the restaurant surprises diners with a different menu each day based on seasonal ingredients. The establishment is conveniently located in the city center near the peaceful Place Abbatucci. Despite being situated in a touristy area, A Nepita stands out for its authentic and high-quality Corsican dishes.
On a warm and humid night, an outside table doesn't come with any interesting views, unlike those around the harbour. However, you come to A Nepita for the food, so prepare to be fine dined! The welcome is warm and friendly with a small range of options on the regularly changing menu. But the quality in taste and presentation is of the highest order. The wine list also pays respect to what Corisca produces. Don't come if you're looking for a cheap meal. Do come if you're looking for something a bit special.
Steve M — Google review
Hidden in a side street down the Tribunal Judiciaire d’Ajaccio, this little restaurant offers fine cuisine and good service. They had three starters, three main courses and three desserts plus Corsican cheeses to choose from. My wife and I ordered five different dishes plus cheese, all were very yummy! 😋

Wonderful restaurant. Food was first class. Service was faultless and the chef was introduced to us at the end. Simon is a very nice affable guy. If I had longer in Ajaccio I would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved the food here. My wife said the octopus was the best she's ever had, which is a high compliment since that is one of her favorite things. No issues accommodating our allergies even on the prix fixe menu for lunch (we got a different starter than was offered on the regular lunch menu for that day). Great experience and a good value for the lunch set menu.
Matthew D — Google review
This restaurant is on a side street a bit away from the very touristy areas of Ajaccio. It is only slightly more expensive than the tourist restaurants closer to the water, but the delicious food and great service more than make up for that. Creative, good tasting food with wonderful local Corsican ingredients and inspiration. A gem.
Steven T — Google review
Wonderful family restaurant very close to the Musee Fesch in Ajaccio. Friendly, professional service with a very reasonably priced lunch formule. Pasta with fresh girolle mushrooms was amazing, as was the fish main and the reconstructed Snickers Bar dessert rocked. Highly, highly recommend. A short but judicious and well-priced wine list. Do reserve ahead, and enjoy! We will be back!

Outstanding small and authentic restaurant in a sea of tourist places. Impeccable and delicious local specialities with an emphasis on fresh seafood. Small local wine list. Worth a detour. Service very friendly and welcoming. Do not skip dessert!! Prices are reasonable for a place of this quality, with starters around €20 and mains between €20 and €30

Beautiful restaurant! I booked this for a birthday treat for my partner, and messaged ahead as I am vegan, and was so pleasantly suprised with the feast prepared for me! He even remembered vegan protein (which is rare for some non vegan establishments!). Tomato tartare with Quinoa, courgette ravioli and fruits, sorbet and mint. Sublime- thank you A Nepita!

Pizza restaurant
L'Epizzeria fredo is a popular eatery located just 2 kilometers from our hotel, making it a pleasant stroll to reach. The courteous and professional staff warmly welcomed us and served faultless pizzas made with high-quality ingredients. Despite the bustling atmosphere, we managed to secure a table without a reservation, and the wait was well worth it. The accommodating nature of the team extended to creating a special pasta dish for an 8-year-old diner.
Great service, they were very friendly and made extra space for us to eat outside (group of 6 people). The food was very delicious. We had the antipasti for 4 persons and then each a pizza. Both were very delicious!

Probably the best pizza in Ajaccio, other dishes also delicious, service top, the chef a super nice guy, prepared for us especially some dishes to take with on the ferry although the restaurant was closed at that hour. Next time on Corsica this place is a must for us, and just because of the top people there and their delicious food. Thanks a lot for everything, we had a great experience!

Le Bistrot Gourmand in Ajaccio is a charming restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The chef presents a variety of menus featuring local products and delicious cuisine, making it difficult to choose just one dish. The impeccable and friendly service creates a welcoming atmosphere where guests feel right at home. Despite the high quality of food and service, the prices are surprisingly affordable.
All dishes are very good, staffs are experienced with warm welcome. Best restaurants experience for this Ajaccio trip and would come back again.

Beautiful food and service! The friendly chef explained the menu to us, and we both enjoyed a set menu of grilled octopus entrees and then fish and beef as our mains. Everything was cooked to perfection - tender, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned! Service was also very quick which we appreciated! The only downside was the man next to us who smoked 4 cigarettes in the one hour we were there that we decided to leave without having dessert as the smell was becoming too much.

It is a delightful restaurant that looks down to the Golfe. The menu is explained to you personally by reading each offering one item at a time, to you. All items I've had have been excellently and tastefully prepared. Come by 8pm reservation or you will wait as all tables are reserved. I have eaten there 3 times for dinner and not once disappointed.

Highly recommended. Thank you!

Not to mention that if you take the first table on exterier terace you get to have a dinner with a view to the sea while also observing real life of locals having evening drinks at the bar next door! Overall great experience!!

Charcuterie
If you're in search of "genuine Corsican cuisine" and want to enjoy an authentic local experience, A Casetta produits corses is the perfect choice. Their selection of meats and cheeses from Corsica is unparalleled, featuring the most exquisite flavors you'll find anywhere in the world. The focus here is on highlighting these exceptional ingredients, which are expertly incorporated into their board sandwiches and salads. Everything they serve is fresh, locally sourced, and prepared with great care.
A very good local place to try cheese and charcuterie. But they accept only cash. We were three of us and one board of mixed charcuterie and cheese was more than enough for us.

If you're looking for "authentic Corsican food" and to eat like the locals....this is it!!! Corsica has the most incredible meats and cheeses you will find anywhere in the world. A Cassetta is all about letting these incredible ingredients shine. The boards sandwiches and salads here are perfectly prepared. Local meats cheeses bread honey wines. Everything is fresh local and thoughtfully prepared. Incredible value. One of the great meals of my life. I recommend multiple visits to try everything. A really special place.

My partner and I came to this lovely establishment in late May 2024, where we ordered 2 baguettes. Quite simply, these were the most delicious baguettes we have ever eaten. The two ladies who own and manage this establishment were so kind and lovely, and the products they sell, cheese, charcuterie are all supplied from a farm that one of the ladies own on the island. My partner is telling me that his mouth still waters when he thinks about that baguette! Mine too! I think that the one we had was called a "complete", it had cured ham, 2 different cheeses, one goats, one sheep, and a delicious tomato salsa, all from the farm! I cannot remember your names, but to the two lovely ladies who own and run the establishment, we remember you very much, you were so kind, charming and interesting. If we ever visit your beautiful island again, you can be assured that we will come see you again, and order another of your incredible, world-beating filled baguettes!! To anyone reading this, honestly, I've travelled far and wide, I've eaten literally thousands of sandwiches, perhaps tens of thousands, but the sandwich/baguette I had from A Casetta Produits Corses came from the heavens!! 5 stars, I'd give 200 if I could!! The prices were very reasonable compared to other establishments we saw locally. With much love, Eddy and Joe from rainy Angleterre!! Xxxx
