The Local Area

Situated between Ajaccio and Calvi, Calanches de Piana, the Gulf of Porto, Gulf of Girolata and Scandola Nature Reserve make up an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The dramatic narrow winding road from Piana to Porto has amazing views of the towering red granite cliffs carved by erosion plunging down to the electric blue sea, with many birds of prey soaring above and animals grazing along the way.

Hanging above the Calanches, the small village of Piana is as charming as the surrounding landscape. 8km from the village, Plage d’Arone is the last white sandbank before the steep and rugged Calanches coastline. It embodies a kind of natural border between the mineral empire and the plant universe.

A boat tour of Scandola and Girolata would be a worthwhile excursion from Porto to explore the Scandola Nature Reserve, stop in the remote village of Girolata only accessible from the sea and watch the birdlife such as sea eagles and peregrine falcons. 

The village of Piana is 1 km from the hotel and Porto 11km away both with a few shops, bars and restaurants. Porto also has a small marina and a wide shingle beach with wooden bridge. With a distinctive Genoese Tower, Porto is an old fishing village of much character and a good stop when exploring this beautiful region of Corsica.

Huw's View

Family run for 40 years, Hotel Capo Rosso is an ideal hotel for those touring the island to experience the amazing road through the Calanches di Piana to Porto on the dramatic west coast of Corsica. 

The hotel itself commands a dramatic position with panoramic views yet is set in beautiful grounds and has attentive staff and superb restaurant. 

The rooms are furnished in contemporary style, all with sea views. 

As the hotel is set on the hillside, it is not necessarily suitable for those with walking difficulties. 

Car hire is essential for accessing the hotel and exploring the local area. 

Please note: The journey along the Calanches can be extremely challenging in a vehicle but the stunning views make it well worth while!
