The coast of Cap Corse

Territory

Bastia & Cap Corse

A city turned towards its harbour, then a narrow forty-kilometre peninsula where the mountain falls straight into the sea. This is where we work every day.

Bastia

Bastia is not a resort town: it lives all year round. The Vieux-Port, the Citadel, the market square and the Genoese buildings of the old town offer apartments of a kind rarely found elsewhere — high ceilings, wrought-iron balconies, views over the harbour or towards the Tuscan islands.

The finest addresses lie in the triangle between the Vieux-Port and place Saint-Nicolas, and on the upper floors of Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova.

Cap Corse

Erbalunga, Sisco, Pietracorbara, Macinaggio, Centuri, Nonza: every village on the Cap has its own character. The east coast remains sheltered and inhabited, the west coast is steeper and wilder.

You will find maisons d'Américains — houses built in the nineteenth century by Cap Corse families returned from the Americas — schist village houses and, more rarely, isolated properties with direct access to the sea.

Why this area

Our agency is based in Bastia. We know the owners, the craftsmen, the planning constraints of each commune on the Cap, and the sometimes considerable gap between an asking price and a market price.

Properties from this area appear in our selection when they deserve to.
