Guide to Rogliano

'Clasping a lush hillside in beautiful northern Corsica, tranquil Rogliano will sweep you off your feet with its stunning setting, unrushed pace and wealth of local sights.'

Get ready to pinch yourself. Clinging to a steep hillside at the very tip of Corsica's Cap Corse peninsula, Rogliano looks like its torn from the pages of a child's book of fables. Only when you get closer will you start believing it's real.
Grey stone houses rise from the green slopes. The decorative churches and mansions stand proudly above them. Among the huddle, a watchtower peeks out behind the pan-tiled roofs, looking like it imprisons a lovelorn princess. And from this elevated perch, the village gazes out over a mosaic of terraced vineyards, orchards and rippled hills.
Traditional Corsican life is still alive and well here. Trudge the curling cobbled streets and it's like stepping back into a slower, bygone age. Tiptoe around the romantic churches, explore the village's Roman roots and admire its sun-faded manor houses built in the early 1900s by wealthy islanders. And for a breather, rest up at the pizzeria or auberge to clink glasses of Clos Nicrosi, the perfumed wine grown in the vineyards below.
The stunning landscapes will soon entice you out. Rove around picturesque hamlets and the area's many historical treasures. Head for nearby Macinaggio to relax in its harbourside eateries or take the winding road to peaceful Centuri-Port, its pretty harbour framed by green-roofed cottages. And if walking's your passion, force your legs up towering Monte San Petrone to glory in spine-tingling Mediterranean vistas. And when the time comes for the beach, head for Tamarone beach, a glorious sweep of soft sand brushed by the clearest waters you'll ever see.
