Nature and quietness for a special holiday

Walking through the shaded footpaths of the Village, from the belvedere to the orchard, from the restaurant down to the sea, one feels part of a protected natural landscape.

Most of the plants are autochthonous, but all have features that help to understand the environment. They grow in a particularly mild climate in Winter, but an unfavourable one in Summer, when heat and dry weather concur to create difficult conditions.

Evergreens predominate, both in the forest vegetation as well as in the characteristic Mediterranean maquis and can be found on the rocks close to the sea or in the underbrush of the pinewoods.

This delicate environment can be damaged by human actions: fire is the recurrent element which opposes vegetation's development and growth.

The natural habitat offers us many pleasant sensations and this is why it is so important to respect and preserve it.

For those who want to know this territory, La Francesca often organizes botanical excursions, while fauna route helps adults and children to spot mammals, birds and fish.
