The small village of Petreto Bicchisano (photo below right) with its shops, bars and restaurants is a couple of minutes drive away. The beach resorts of Propriano and Porto Pollo are within half an hour and river rock pools are ten minutes away. The airport and seaport of the imperial city of Ajaccio are less than an hour.

Corsica is a walker's paradise with many great footpaths either going direct from our property or a short drive away. Also in the region are opportunities to go horse riding, climbing, canyoning, mountain biking, off-road driving, sailing, windsurfing, jet skiiing and motorboating.

Other attractions in the south of Corsica include the stunning clifftop citadel of Bonifacio, photo below left, with the harbour below right, the imposing town of Sartene, the A Cupulatta tortoise sanctuary with over 150 species and the intriguing prehistoric sites at Filitosa and Cucuruzzu.

Being part of France, it goes without saying that the food and wine in Corsica is particularly good and regional specialities such as ewe's milk cheese, chestnut flour, charcuterie, olive oil and local beef, lamb and pork form the basis of many restaurant menus.
