Cap Corse: Wild Nature & Authentic Flavours

Cap Corse: A Wild Jewel Between Sea and Mountains

Located at the northernmost tip of the island, Cap Corse, where our guesthouse is situated, is a mountainous peninsula that stretches proudly into the Mediterranean.
Here, nature still rules. The coastline alternates between sandy beaches, pebble coves, and steep cliffs, offering rare and unspoiled beauty.

Far from the hustle and bustle of tourist resorts, Cap Corse offers calm, serenity, and renewal in a truly authentic and preserved environment.

🌄 A Land of Contrasts and Authenticity

To the east, the landscape softens: the sea is close, accessible, and perfect for swimming.
To the west, dramatic cliffs and spectacular viewpoints reveal a wilder and more rugged nature.

Between these two sides lies a land of contrasts: traditional villages, hilltop hamlets, and fragrant maquis… A true living memory of rural Corsica.

🥾 Trails to Discover the Soul of Cap Corse

Whether you are an experienced hiker or a casual walker, let yourself be seduced by the famous Customs Path (Sentier des Douaniers), winding along the coastline through Genoese towers and breathtaking vistas.

Other, more hidden trails will take you deep into the natural and historical heritage of Cap Corse, in the heart of the maquis where Corsica reveals its true self.

🧀 A Tasty Discovery of Corsican Gastronomy

Corsica is a land of character – and that character shines through in its cuisine.
Rich, authentic, and deeply rooted in tradition, Corsican gastronomy is an integral part of the island's identity.

Artisanal charcuterie, goat and sheep cheeses, chestnut flour, mild olive oil, and characterful wines… Each product tells the story of a craft passed down through generations.
