Sant'Antonino
The 'Eagle's Nest' village perched on a granite hilltop, one of France's most beautiful villages, with circular stone lanes overlooking the Balagne plain and the sea.
Sant'Antonino is considered one of Corsica's oldest villages. Its houses cling to a granite hilltop about 500 metres above sea level, rising in tiers, and it has been named one of 'France's Most Beautiful Villages'. A maze of arcades and stone staircases leads up to the summit, where you get 360-degree views of Balagne's olive groves, hill villages and coastline. The village has a lemon juice shop and small restaurants. Park at the car park at the foot of the village and walk up. Midday in summer is hot, so the evening is the most comfortable time to visit.
