Go with your eyes closed and your mouth wide open!

Rooftops, tapas & & other guilty pleasures…

Perched on the cliffs of Nonza, La Sassa is more than just a restaurant: it is a rooftop suspended above the sea. Sunset cocktails, generous sharing plates and an endless horizon—enough to turn a simple dinner into a cinematic experience.

In Saint-Florent, several addresses embrace a convivial spirit: Le Grill on the harbour for an evening infused with sea air; Mamò La Tablée for those who love to share (reservation strongly recommended!); and Bsisters, a temple of festive tapas and cocktails.

Local pantry & terroir shopping

If there is still a little (or a lot of) space left in your suitcase, here are some gourmet stops to note down. In Olmeta di Tuda, Latteria d’Oru delights with fine cheeses. In Patrimonio, the Savonnerie du Nebbiu transforms the maquis into delicately scented soaps. And for a refreshing treat, José Salge, artisan ice-cream maker in Saint-Florent, turns every scoop into a childhood memory.

When the calves complain, the eyes marvel

The Nebbiu and its hilltop villages offer a true journey through time, with beautiful walks through places steeped in history and character. In Pieve, ancient stones and the Romanesque church command quiet respect. Sorio, with its arches and narrow streets, becomes a labyrinth one gladly gets lost in. And Santo Pietro di Tenda, perched facing the horizon, delivers a full-scale postcard view. Three atmospheres, three stops, and the feeling of having crossed centuries in just a few steps.

But nature’s call draws you even further, towards the Agriates Desert, where another adventure begins—earned through a bit of effort!

Walking in the Agriates Desert means accepting sore calves and a blazing sun… But the landscape plays the role of a motivating coach: a scent, a sea breeze, a turquoise shimmer, a hidden cove… You complain a little, laugh at your own fatigue, and then forget everything when faced with white sand and crystal-clear water.
And at the end of the trail, when Saleccia or Lotu finally appear, you know it was all worth it—every drop of sweat—and that landscapes always have the final word.

Hay, stripes and sails!

Looking for a light-hearted moment? Head to the Corsica Zoo in Olmeta di Tuda. A true journey around the world, it brings together more than 60 species from all five continents: zebras, llamas, alpacas, camels, wallabies, parrots… Not to mention the mini-farm, where goats, rabbits and sheep effortlessly steal the spotlight and know better than anyone how to attract smiles—and cameras. A refreshing and educational walk, perfect for a family outing where every path promises an unexpected encounter.

For lovers of wide-open spaces and escape, two unmissable experiences await. On land, Nebbiu Aventura takes thrill-seekers on nature trails and 4×4 excursions through the Agriates Desert, all the way to the secret beaches of Saleccia and Lotu. At sea, as the day draws to a close, change scenery and set sail aboard the Bella Vita catamaran: a sunset at sea with tapas and music, for an evening that is both chic and wild off the coast of Saint-Florent.

Here, you don’t go to the beach. You set sail for it.

In Saint-Florent, the road to the beach starts at the harbour, and it is the taxi boats that open access to secret coves—much faster than any walking trail! Popeye and Taxi Plages Saint-Florent provide crossings to these dreamlike spots. Insider tip: leave early in the morning to enjoy Saleccia before the white-sand enthusiasts arrive.
