The village of Venaco

The Venaco village is located in the heart of Corsica halfway between Bastia and Ajaccio. This central position allows you to easily travel throughout Corsica and discover all the treasures of the Island of Beauty. Venaco is only 10 minutes from Corte, 40 minutes from the first beaches and 5 minutes from a river. The village of Venaco is known for its cheeses and charcuterie which you will find on the stalls of Corsican market gardeners. This little corner of paradise is quiet and offers many activities to do in the heart of nature. In July and August, you can also go to the Venaco municipal swimming pool, located 200 meters from the Hotel U Frascone. We know the region perfectly and we can advise you on the best addresses in the area.

The town of Corte

Corte is a charming city full of history and monuments to discover. We advise you to go to the summit of Corte and visit the citadel dating from the end of the 18th century. At the citadel, you will find the Museum of Corsica which hosts many art exhibitions, but also concerts, events and conferences. Walk along the ramparts, you will reach the belvedere from where you will obtain a superb 360° view of the entire region. The city is full of natural treasures such as the Restonica Valley, La Scala di Santa Regina, the Vecchio gorges and the Niolu.

Vizzavona Forest

Stroll through this superb 1,600-hectare forest located in the town of Vivario. At nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, the forest is a real oasis of coolness in the middle of summer. You can take many walks and hikes, but also tree climbing sessions. Take the famous “Cascade des Anglais” trail, a must in the region.

Canyoning

It is in the Vecchio gorges and in the Verghellu Valley that you can do a canyoning session. You can also stroll along the water, swim or hike. We advise you to go through the Gustave Eiffel viaduct, designed in 1880.
