Picturesque Corsican village
du Sartenais Valinco TaravoArbellara, in the Valinco region of southern Corsica, is a charming little village perched 300 metres above sea level, just a few minutes from Propriano and the beaches of the west coast. This ancient granite hamlet is an invitation to relax and discover, with its spectacular panoramas, ancient stones and lively island traditions.
As you stroll through the narrow streets of Arbellara, you’ll discover traditional Corsican houses, a church dedicated to Saint Sébastien, ancient fountains and a peaceful atmosphere, far removed from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Time seems to stand still here, and the breathtaking views over the Rizzanese valley complete the picture.
As you stroll along, you’ll come across towers with granite loopholes. They will remind you of the barbarian invasions of the 16th century. They were later converted into homes.
