Piana

Piana is a fascinating town in north-west of Corsica and is surrounded by the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, ruby red granite rocks and rolling hills. Like something out of a painting, Piana is immersed in a landscape of picturesque beauty, where the views and panoramas are breathtakingly splendid.

Situated between Ajaccio, Calvi and Corte, Piana is almost entirely surrounded by coastline. Some of the best in Corsica, these beautiful and pristine beaches join the surrounding countryside to create a natural paradise. While the various trails and walking tours available in Piana are perfect for tourists who want to experience the very best of the island and its environment.

Piana itself is a village of charming cobblestone streets and hidden alleys, small craft shops and quaint stone houses. An old town, Piana is the best place to try the traditional cuisine of Corsica with many bars and restaurants serving delicious local delicacies and the island’s very own fine wines. An enchanting town, Piana offers diners the perfect compliment to their meal: an incredible view of the surrounding countryside and the Calanche. One of the most striking natural wonders in Corsica, the Calanche are huge boulders of ruby red granite that sparkle in the setting sun to create an incredible sight.
