Propriano is an ideal base for exploring southern Corsica: prehistoric heritage, characterful villages, mountains and sea are all within two hours’ drive. Here are our excursion ideas, from the closest to the furthest.
Propriano, its harbour and life on the gulf
About 1 km from the residence, Propriano town centre revolves around its harbour: terraces, restaurants, shops and boat trips to discover the Valinco coastline from the water.
Sartène and Filitosa, Corsica’s history
About fifteen minutes away, Sartène, “the most Corsican of Corsican towns”, reveals its granite lanes and fortified houses. North of the gulf, the prehistoric site of Filitosa, about 25 minutes away, is famous for its statue-menhirs carved more than 3,000 years ago.
Bonifacio and the Bavella needles
For a full day out, Bonifacio and its white cliffs are about 1 hour 15 minutes away. In the mountains, the Bavella needles, about 1 hour 30 minutes away, offer spectacular hikes among Laricio pines and pink granite peaks.
Sport, nature and relaxation
Hiking on the Campomoro coastal path, diving, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the gulf: there is no shortage of activities. At the residence, electric bike rental lets you explore the surroundings, and our concierge can book activities and restaurants for you.
