Not many travel agents go there, and I do not know your budget, but I can highly recommend Corsica.
Beautiful island with a great mix of sea and some beaches but with stunning in-land areas, with forests, old towns, citadels, etc, and in recent years the road quality much improved.
Very few English voices heard whist visiting (the polar opposite to our last two trips to even quiet places in Mallorca)and they have a very distinct culture.
Whilst owned by France they are fiercely Corsican. Just google 'Corsican road signs' to see how they treat the French words for villages and towns that are added to all place names. The locals also use some signs for target practice, but tourists are very much welcomed.
We have used one of the main companies who go there beginning with an S who do villa holidays there and they sometimes have last minute deals (good company who I have no relationship with other than having been a customer).
Not sure of dates, places, style and costs would work for you, but worthy of consideration for the future if nothing available now.
A trip to Bonifacio is a must and Porto Vecchio also good, and the north of the island is also very nice (Calvi for example).
Went there as a kid and going back as an adult it was better than I had remembered.
