Our holiday accommodation in Central Corsica
If you’re looking for an authentic break in the heart of Corsica, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then come to Central Corsica, an unspoilt region with a wealth of traditions and wonderful scenery. Book your holiday rental with Gîtes de France® Corsica for a truly memorable experience.
CENTRAL CORSICA is the geographical heart of Corsica, a vast region of lakes, glacial corries, craggy peaks and the highest mountains on the island (Rotondo, Cinto, Monte d'Oro).
Situated at the centre of the Natural Park of Corsica, the region has numerous hikes and walks in the pine forests of Laricio, oak forests, chestnut forests, as well as trout fishing and kayaking in mountain streams and rivers (Golo, Tavignano). Corte, the historic capital of Corsica in the 19th century, is an absolute must to visit with its picturesque, narrow streets and its rich culture.
The medium-altitude mountain region of Castagniccia stretches from Fium'altu to Alesani and is dominated by 1766-metre-high San Petrone. An important part of the island’s history, Castagniccia well deserves its title of ‘Vallée des Seigneurs’. The region takes its name from the almost legendary chestnut forest which still covers many thousands of hectares today. Take time to explore delightful, picturesque little villages like Croce.
