Sartene
Found in south-west Corsica, Sartene is a few kilometres into the mountains south-east of Propriano. The wealth of the town is founded on the highly rated local Sartene wine.
The tall buildings, built in the same rock as the steep hill on which they stand, look almost unnaturally solid and permanent. The centre of the town is found around the Place de la Liberation (the place was previously and is often still known as Place Porta), and has good views across the valley. Take a look at Sainte Marie church on the edge of the square while you are there.
The old town, with its narrow streets crammed with a incredible medley of tall ancient houses, linked by arches, arcades and alleys, occasioinally blocked by unexpected outcrops of mountain, spreads out down the hill, with a myriad of ever narrower passageways and staircases providing a fascinating glimpse of 'old' Corsica.
Sartène is also a good base for exploring the important prehistoric sites at Cauria and Palaggiu, with their fine dolmen and menhirs, and also the standing men stone carvings at Stantari. The stunning wilderness interior of this region of Corsica is on the town's doorstep, and the beaches around Propriana are in easy reach.
