Belgodère
A hilltop old village whose name means 'beautiful enjoyment', with the ruins of a Genoese castle offering views of the sea and the Ostriconi valley.
Belgodère sits on a ridge in eastern Balagne. Its name means 'good enjoyment' and it is named for its magnificent views. The highest point of the village preserves the ruins of a medieval castle, and from the top you can see the sea, L'Île-Rousse and the mountains inland all at once. There are cafés under the plane trees in the village square, and the surrounding hillsides are covered in olive trees. It is a good place to stop on the way to Ostriconi beach, or as a stop on a driving circuit of the hill villages.
