U Maggiu
About
U Maggiu serves Corsica from 5-19 Rue des Frères Bartoli, 20100 Sartène, France, in the island's south-western interior. Visitors rate it 4.4/5 across 37 reviews, a score that reflects steady approval from those who stop by. Sartène sits within reach of Propriano, while Ajaccio, Bastia and Bonifacio lie further along the coast.
Corsican produce includes brocciu cheese, figatellu sausage, chestnut flour and clementines, and shops like this one put those local staples within easy reach. Spring and early autumn are quieter and milder, and many seasonal businesses close from October to Easter, so the shoulder months suit travellers who prefer calm.
French is the official language on France's islands, and regional languages such as Corsican are spoken in places. The island's towns and resorts are connected by road, making a stop in Sartène straightforward on a tour of the south.
Corsica was ruled by Genoa for centuries, was briefly an independent republic, and was bought by France in 1768. For a first visit, the town's inland setting offers a contrast to the coastal resorts of Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio. A little French goes a long way when asking for local specialities.
