Fotolia_3286620_Subscription_XL

Situated in the heart of Porto-Vecchio, only 15 km away from Villa Pamplemousse, the 16th century citadel is a fascinating place to visit. At the foot of the citadel, the Marina is a beautiful spot for a drink, a meal or a relaxing walk along the port. Located at an altitude of 900 m, the Ospedale massif offers stunning panoramic views of the coastline and the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio. The surrounding forest, which forms part of the Corsican Regional Nature Park, is home to fabulous walks. The region of Porto-Vecchio, with its prime location between the sea and the mountains, is well worth the visit.
