Corsica

    In Corsica, known as the Island of Beauty, at the entrance to a magnificent pink granite "calanche" or rocky inlet listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Piana looks down over the Golfe de Porto from its idyllic setting. As you wander from narrow street to shady square where the scent of eucalyptus hangs, you will discover the white houses arranged in amphitheatre fashion that are overlooked by the Italian-style church of Sainte Marie.

    Sant’Antonino is like an eagle’s nest clinging to a granite peak at an altitude of nearly 500m. It is one of the oldest villages in Corsica and one of the highest in La Balagne region. Alleyways, covered passageways and houses blend in with the rock. The view of the plain and sea from the remains of the old castello is superb.
