Ajaccio - Hotels Ajaccio

The capital of Corsica, Ajaccio lies in a calm bay on the west coast of Corsica, set against a backdrop of wooded hills. It is a relaxed rather than lively town and visitors come here to enjoy its wealth of cafés, restaurants and shops. The sights here mainly revolve around Napoleon, who was born here. The town's main sights are the magnificent cathedral where Napoleon was christened, the Bonaparte residence and numerous statues and street names related to his family. Corsicans themselves are not particularly proud of the island having spawned Napoleon and many consider him deridingly as a jumped-up Frenchman. Locals in Ajaccio are, however, willing to boast about the Musée Fesch, which contains the art collection of Napoleon's maternal uncle, Cardinal Fesch. The collection of Italian paintings is considered to rate second only to that of the Louvre.

Harsh, beautiful and passionate, the Niolo, birthplace of the Golo, is since always, the high-perched of the pastoral tradition.

It is the "grandiose" that dominates this region situated in the heart of the isle : from the highest top of Corsica -Cinto, Paglia Orba- to the Laricio Pine which is beautiful, elegant, soars up itself too into the infinite, through the strange and impressive Scala di Santa Regina, narrow corridor wildly cut in the red rocks, wild abyss which was for a long time taken by the shepherds poets of Niolo who were bound for the needs of their business toward the crossroad of history and culture : Corte.

Chosen by Pascal Paoli as the capital of Corsica in the brief period of its independence, Corte which is the natural boundary between Corsica of North and Corsica of South; reigns as a sentry from the top of its rocky peak, over the valleys where the Tavignano and the Restonica have cut from their torrents, gorges so beautiful that they are classified as a " big national place of interest".

Not far from there, at the foot of the Monte Cardo, a harmonious tangle of chestnut trees pines, oaks and ferns, form the region of the Venacais whose shepherds have known, thanks to their know-how and under the protect of the Santo Eliseo Chapel, how to ensure the solid reputation.

At the time of the mild seasons, the undergrowthes and rivers are the privileged place of meeting of the hunters and fishermen, while in warmest seasons strollers and hikers let themselves bewitched by the atmosphere and the beauty of the setting that form around them Venaco and its grasslands, Vivario and its alpine cirque or, Vizzavona and its happy unions of beeches and pines.

Cape Corsica, homeland of the muscat à petits grains grape
Considered a sacred land by the Romans, Cape Corsica is the northern tip of the island, the finger which points toward the mainland. A magical place, its grapevines, suspended high above the sea, appear out of the reach of common mortals... but not of Corsican wine-growers!
