Sorry if this has been answered already but I couldn't find many forum threads or articles about it on the internet.
Is Bavella the crag with dream-like rock formations which resemble Emmental cheese with 2 meter holes in it? I have always wanted to climb there. Secondly, is it strictly an "adventurous" (long approaches, no or sparse bolting) destination, or also good for a relaxing week of sport climbing in late spring?

This crag http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=8162 is close to the road, south facing, fully bolted and mainly single pitch. If I recall correctly, not that many of the routes have the "swiss-cheese" features, though. Very pleasant place to climb, even though it's only a tiny fraction of the available rock in the area and you might not want to spend a whole week there. Late spring should be fine: I went in early June and despite the altitude it was a bit too hot, and somewhat prone to afternoon thunderstorms.

It's excellent, but there are many more crags round Corsica. Get the new guide. We had a great three weeks there last spring. Lots and lots of emmental cheese too!

thanks everybody for the replies. The destination looks fantastic..
So are the Emmental climbs limited to Bavella, or are they in other crags, too? What should I look for on the internet?

Oh and one more question - are the Emmental climbs bolted or trad?
