SOLARO

The most southerly communes of Haute-Corse welcomes you in its varied landscapes, from the long dune beaches at Punta di Tintennaghja. Located some 500 meters above sea level and only 8 kilometers from the sea, the village owes its name to its exceptional situation facing the morning sun. The view on the Tuscan archipelago should not make us forget the richness of its built heritage. The natural heritage is
not left: on more than 9,000 hectares preserved, flora and fauna present a high species diversity.
