The Corsican town of Porticcio, on the south bank of the magnificent Ajaccio Gulf, just over ten miles from Napoleon's birthplace, is a haven for tourists with some wonderful attractions.
Fifteen minutes from Ajaccio, 90 minutes from Porto and just over two hours to Bonifacio, Porticcio is also ideally situated.
The seaside resort can be especially proud of its commitment to caring for the environment along the coastline (it was awarded the 'blue pavilion' label in 1997) and the neighbouring wild, unspoiled countryside.
