Where to find us
Exploring Figari
A charming municipality, patchworked by wine lands and rolling hills, Figari is an ideal destination for those seeking a tranquil getaway. Studded with pretty villages, you’ll discover a thriving viticulture in Figari, and in its neighbouring Sartène, that has been flourishing since Roman times. Today, visitors can traverse 380 acres of rolling vineyards and drop in at its numerous wineries.
The French ile de beauté’s plentiful shores and balmy climate entice beach lovers between the months of April and October. But, even in mid-winter, coastal temperatures rarely drop below 10°C, and spring and autumn are relaxing times to visit.
Wherever you dine in Corsica, local ingredients such as ewe's cheese, cured hams, freshly netted seafood and wild boar are key players in the island’s menus. The cuisine is rich in traditional French fare, with its historic Italian governance having a milder influence. A strategic battle ground, the island changed hands on many occasions from its Mesolithic founders in 6,000BC to the Third Reich during WWII.
