In 45 minutes by car, you will be at the Désert des Agriates, located between the village of Saint-Florent and the Ostriconi Valley. The Agriates are not your average desert, in fact, the fauna and flora are dense. The 16,000 hectares were once home to wheat fields, olive trees, sheep and ewes. Discover two sublime beaches during your excursion: Saleccia Beach and Lotu Beach.
Discover Balagne
Its walks, its hikes and its seaside
Balagne is a land where good humor, beaches, Corsican culture, the art of simple living and a change of scenery will be the order of the day. Balagne extends from Île Rousse to Calvi: two unmissable cities to discover during your stay at Casa Di Angeli. Start your discovery of Balagne with a stop in Calvi. This sumptuous town overlooks the Mediterranean and the entire region. You will get a superb panorama from the top of its rock and its citadel. Continue your getaway in Balagne with Île Rousse. You will be charmed by its lively little squares with bars and restaurants. To get one of the most beautiful views of Calvi, the coast, Agriate and Île Rousse, we recommend you go to the Pietra peninsula with its lighthouse.
