Sartene is a “monumental, intimate and secret” citadel (the resort’s heritage discovery guide).
A village listed as an inland tourist resort, ideally located at an altitude of 1,000 feet and 8 miles from the Propriano coast.
"The most Corsican of Corsican villages" according to Prosper Merimee, Sartene has 3.000 inhabitants and offers calm, tradition and authenticity.
Its fortified site looking over the river valley "le rizzanese" makes it a perfect architectural and human symbol of inland Corsica.
Its geographic location also makes it an ideal departure point for visiting all of the most southern parts.
