Holidays in Sartene

An introduction to Sartene

Holidays in Sartene are a doorway into time-honoured Corsica. Come on in to this ageless granite-built town and you'll experience a part of the island that's shrugged off the passing centuries in grand style.

Carved into mountain rocks in the south-west, the town looks and feels thoroughly authentic and beautifully groomed. Stroll the old quarter's cobbled streets, stopping for a glass of the famous Sartene wine at the pretty Place de la Liberation. Admire the huddled green-shuttered houses, linked by archways over the shaded alleyways. Mosey around the fascinating prehistory museum, Genoese palace and parish church. The town may not be big, but holidays in Sartene have oodles of interesting nooks and crannies to keep you pleasantly occupied.

Of course, making the most of Sartene holidays means casting your net into the surrounding countryside. Shimmering sandy beaches, intriguing prehistoric sites and a coastline capped with Genoese watchtowers and secret coves are all easy drives away. Visit cliff-top Bonifacio, charismatic Ajaccio and stylish Porto Vecchio – again, they're all popular daytrip destinations for anyone holidaying here.
