Ajaccio
Imperial city, Napoleon and its memorabilia, the citadel, the old city, the fishermen’s harbour, its casino, the ”Iles Sanguinaires”, home of Tino Rossi……Life at its best…

Located on the western coast, south of the gulf of Ajaccio, its harbours, the city of Propriano and its marina.
In the eighteenth century, just like on a child’s drawing, there were only four little houses hidden away in that magnificent Valinco. Its rich country side protected from the winds, made it a very popular place as far back as the antiquity. For trading, fishing or sailing, this harbour is a great link between the mountain and the sea.

A little
further away, the city of
Sartene seems to be extending the mountain. What a
surprising site! An acropolis of granite with winding streets holding on to
the rock.
The holy Friday procession of “Catenacciu” in itself, makes Sartene a unique place.
