Whether you’re in Propriano, the vibrant heart of the Valinco Gulf, or in Sartène, “the most Corsican of Corsican towns”, you’ll discover an area that’s ideal for enjoying a holiday in an authentic setting: the Sartenais-Valinco-Taravo. A true concentrate of Corsica, it offers you the opportunity to explore all the wealth of Southern Corsica, halfway between the island’s major sites and towns. In less than an hour and a half, you can visit the imperial city of Ajaccio, admire the majestic Aiguilles de Bavella, stroll through the picturesque villages of the Alta Rocca and, of course, marvel at Bonifacio, the town suspended above the limestone cliffs.

01

To Ajaccio :

the 'capital' of Corsica, between history, sea and traditions

The imperial city is an integral part of the island’s history. Renowned for being the birthplace of Napoleon, the capital of Corsica also embodies an art of living that is gentle and lazy. The attractive shops in the town centre are a real eye-catcher, bringing a real vibrancy to the lively heart of the city. As for the market, it is the meeting point of Ajaccio life thanks to its many culinary specialities. A stop at the Musée Fesch is a must, as it boasts the largest collection of Italian paintings in Europe!

02

Towards the Alta Rocca :

A land of mountains, history and Corsican culture

Literally “high rock”, it is also known as the “land of the lords” because it was home to the “sgiò”, the wealthy bourgeois and aristocrats who came to recharge their batteries on their land. This stunningly beautiful region is a veritable crossroads where nature, history and tradition meet. The Alta Rocca, covered in oak and pine forests, is dotted with picturesque villages clinging to the sides of the mountains, such as Zonza, Levie and Quenza. This region offers a wonderful way to discover Corsica, with its contrasting landscapes and strong cultural identity. It’s a haven of peace for nature lovers and one of Corsica’s top hiking destinations.

03

To the far south :

between cliffs and history

With its wild, unspoilt coastline, the far south of Corsica is a region of striking beauty. Overlooking the strait that separates the island of beauty from Sardinia, you’ll find the incredible town of Bonifacio perched on its white limestone cliffs battered by the waves. A maze of narrow streets and stone houses, its old town retains a medieval atmosphere and an exceptionally rich heritage. Discover its fortified citadels and breathtaking panoramas overlooking the sea and the Lavezzi islands. Climb down the King of Aragon’s staircase carved into the cliffs and let the mystical atmosphere of this unique place soak you in! “Don’t miss the bay of Roccapina, a real secret paradise of crystal-clear waters and stunning scenery! The town of Porto-Vecchio is also a must-see, with its golden beaches and lively atmosphere.”
