Albitreccia

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Southern Corsica

Small village of Corse-du-Sud, on the Island of Beauty, Albitreccia takes place on the canton of Sainte-Marie-Sicché, in the valley of Taravo. The town is located about thirty kilometers from Ajaccio, under the mountains Cozzanicciu and Tassiccia.

The commune of Albitreccia takes its name from the agglutination of the word albutrea and the suffix acum, meaning the place where the strawberry trees grow. Appreciated for its preserved landscapes and its proximity to some of the most beautiful natural sites of Corsica, the small country town attracts many visitors eager to discover the true history of the island.

Near the GR20, mythical hiking trail popular with walkers around the world, the village is the ideal place for outdoor sports activities in quiet.
