This is an unmissable opportunity for lovers of South Corsica to discover the region from an unexpected angle. This trail is called the "Mare e Monti Sud" (from the sea to the mountains), because it allows hikers to reach all the remarkable sites of the Valinco Region on foot and at their own pace, such as Porticcio, Bisiano, Coti-Chiavari, Olmeto and Burgo, while travelling through Porto-Pollo.

This 3-star hotel in Porto Pollo is bordered by the prehistoric site of Filitosa, religiously guarded by its six statues-cum-menhirs, exceptional traces of the past, and renowned for forming part of the oldest megalithic finds of the Island of Beauty. The imprint of this exceptional site, uncovered in the heart of South Corsica's maquis, underscores the island's culture and history. We also suggest a visit to the Departmental Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology in Sartène, and the Casa di Roccapina, an immersive, incredibly moving Corsican history museum. Dive into the thousand-year-old culture of Corsica, the "Land of the Lords"; its surroundings offer access to the Genoese towers of South Corsica, including those of Capriona and Capannelle, architectural marvels located right by the water. A stone's throw from Porto Pollo, right by the sea, their history is linked to Corsica's age-old Italian heritage. The story of Sampiero Corso, a major figure in the island's history, and his quarrels with Italy, ended in 1567, in the very same Gulf of Valinco. Dive into this emotional discovery of the culture of Corsica, right next to the hotel, tucked away in Southern Corsica.
