Sant'Andréa-d'Orcino

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Southern Corsica

Located in the Gulf of Sagone, Sant'Andréa-d'Orcino is a small town in western Corsica, canton of Cinarca. Its population was decreasing until the creation of a housing estate populated mainly by second homes. The town is lined with chestnut trees. Like most municipalities in Corsica, the village has a coastal part, near the Liscia beach. You can consider a walk that will take you to the villages of Calcatoggio, Sant'Andréa-d'Orcino, Cannelle, Saari d'Orcino. Tranquility is the rule in these small communities.

To taste excellent beverages, you will go to Clos d'Alzeto, you will come back with excellent memories after a visit to the wine estate.

Good to know: Corsica municipalities are located on a hillside with a coastal part that is quite far from the center of the municipality.

The Western Corsica Tourist Office is located nearby, in the town of Calcatoggio. The latter is at your disposal to make you discover the activities you wish to practice during your stay (diving, swimming, jet ski, swimming, paragliding, tennis, golf...).
