The municipality of Serra-di-Fiumorbo includes six kilometres of fine sandy coastline at Plage di u Quarcionu. The area in the Parc Naturel de la Corse also offers varied landscapes, stretching from the highest peaks to the sea. This range gives your trip different points of focus: coast, wetlands, hiking trails and historic sites.

Coast, wetlands and a spring

Serra-di-Fiumorbo has numerous wetlands classified as ZNIEFF, Natura 2000 sites and Ramsar sites. If you are planning a regulated activity, check the latest official guidance. L’Acquacitosa in the hamlet of Acquacitosa offers a different connection with nature: its spring produces carbonated water containing iron. Alongside the broader landscape, the area thus offers wetlands with protected-area classifications and a spring located in a specific hamlet, each a distinct point of interest.

Hiking near Ania and on the Chemin des Crêtes

Two hikes with different routes offer a clear choice: near Ania, a six-kilometre loop with 300 metres of elevation gain leads to the Grotte de Circinellu. The Chemin des Crêtes, by contrast, is a linear route with views over the eastern plain and the ponds, and the option to continue to Chisà. The loop can be assessed by its length and elevation gain; the defining features of the Chemin des Crêtes are its linear route, views and continuation to Chisà.

Access to the Chemin des Crêtes is via the D45 through Serra-di-Fiumorbo. About 500 metres past the cemetery, there is a car park. Check access guidance before setting out; trail conditions can change. The Trail de l’Undella also starts in Ania every year. If you are planning your trip around it, check the latest edition before travelling.

Church, tower and prehistoric site

Historically, the story ranges from the prehistoric site of U Castellu, which overlooks the village, to buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries. The Tour de Casabianca was built in the 16th century by Count Biancolacci. A ghjesgia Santa Maria stands in the cemetery at Ania; this Romanesque-style church dates from the 17th century. Two different periods of construction thus stand alongside a prehistoric landmark—useful context if you would also like to shape your stay around historical themes.

Use your trip’s main focus to guide your choice of accommodation

When looking for a holiday rental, it can help to organise your plans by priority first: will hiking or the coast shape your choice, or are historic sites your main focus? For hiking days, you can compare the loop near Ania with the linear Chemin des Crêtes based on their different route types. Then check whether the location of the specific accommodation suits your plans. This way, your choice is guided by the activities you want to shape your stay.
