About Propriano

A charming seaside town on Corsica's Valinco Gulf, Propriano is an appealing destination for a relaxing beach break as a couple or with friends and family. Much of the town was built in the 19th Century, and its tile-roofed bulidings line attractive streets full of shops, cafés, galleries and restaurants. The best places to stay in Propriano include private villas as well as chic boutique hotels, many of which offer uninterrupted ocean views.

Brilliant for water sports enthusiasts, who can kayak, sail, dive, fish and windsurf, Propriano also has some excellent beaches. Enjoy lazy, sun-drenched days on Plage du Lido and Plage du Corsaire as a family, or perch at one of the port-side restaurants for feasts of fresh seafood with Corsican wine. Venture into the hills behind the town for great waterfall hikes or thrilling canyoning adventures. Nearby Olmeto is a lovely choice for a day trip, as is Sartène, known for its wonderful wine.

If you have time, wind your way along the rugged Valinco Gulf to discover ancient archaeological sites — including Filitosa — spectacular beaches and idyllic villages. Speak to the teams at the best places to stay in Propriano for their top recommendations.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

  • Fly to Ajaccio Napoleon Bonaparte Airport and continue to your hotel by bus or taxi. Many hotels will be happy to arrange an airport pick-up in advance. Alternatively, take the ferry from Marseille, Toulon or Nice to Ajaccio, and journey an hour by road from there.
  • Scenic Corsica is wonderful for a road trip! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Travel during the spring or summer for the warmest weather, with temperatures peaking around 26°C in June to August — although this is also the busiest time of year. Avoid the school holidays or visit in May or September for a quieter trip. Watersports aficionados will find the sea much cooler in the shoulder season!
