The village of Tomino

Hotel in Cap Corse

AS PICTURESQUE AS IT CAN BE

Nestled in the heart of Cap Corse, the village of Tomino extends over six enchanting hamlets. It has retained the picturesque charm of the villages of yesteryear. In the alleyways, centuries-old chapels reveal their majesty: Sainte Catherine, Saint Antoine, Saint Guillaume, Saint Pancrace or the churches dedicated to St Roch in La Marine and in the hamlet of Poggio. As true witnesses to history, these sacred buildings stand like the guardians of another time. At the heart of the village there is still a round tower and a fortified house with a square floor plan, both dating back to the 16th century and reminding us of the fascinating history of this municipality on Cap Corse. Tomino is also a delicate balance between past and present, where every stone tells of the captivating history of this municipality.

IMMERSION

Macinaggio, the seaside resort par excellence on the eastern tip of Cap Corse, is still a favourite with swimmers and divers. It is also the ideal place for sea excursions to explore the surrounding coasts and islands. The region is home to several coves and beaches that are among the most beautiful in Corsica.

Tamarone beach is known for its natural beauty. It is nestled between Punta di a Coscia and Monte di a Guardia and can be reached by car via a track or on foot via the customs officers' path. The 500 metre long sandy beach offers a sheltered setting. There is a straw hut near the car park, which is open in the summer season and offers refreshments. This refreshment point is particularly popular with hikers.

Cala Francese is a peaceful, little-visited beach located about 30 minutes behind the tower of Santa Maria. This secluded cove can be reached on foot via the customs officers' path and is a true oasis for those seeking peace and quiet. On the way there, you will pass the islands of Finocchiarola and the Genoese tower of Santa Maria.

Cala Genovese, this fine sandy beach is about 150 metres long and can only be reached on foot via the customs officers' path or by boat. Given its location, it is relatively uncrowded even in summer. On both sides of this oasis of calm, you can admire the view of Punta Vecchia on the left and the charm added by the Santa Maria tower.

The path to San Giorgiu

This shady hiking trail is ideal for walking even on hot days. Under the shelter of the trees, you can enjoy the landscape and in particular the view of the two chapels below the path. This 5 km circular trail winds its way between old houses surrounded by wild maquis. At the highest point of this hike, a panoramic view of the bay of Macinaggio and the Tuscan islands opens up before your marvelling eyes.

The hike to the Santa Maria tower is a must, as from here you have a view of the islands of Finocchiarola and the Santa Maria tower, which still retains some of its remarkable architecture. If you set off early in the morning, you can have breakfast in the shade of the Romanesque chapel and admire the landscape where the vineyards reach down to the sea.
