Belgodère sits like an eagle’s nest on the fertile mountain range of Balagne, a region which is known as the “Garden of Corsica” or also as “The Saint”, due to its large number of religious buildings. The heights of the Balagne offer a fantastic opportunity to experience the rugged nature of Corsica, in particular along the hiking trail from Belgodère to Olmi Capella. In the mountain village, which looks across the valley of the river Reginu, there are many religious monuments to be explored: the chapel of St. Croix and St. Jean, the church of St. Thomas in the village square, the ruined abbey of Madunuccia and also the 19th Century palace Malaspina in which the town hall is now located. A fantastic panoramic view can be enjoyed from the rock “Tegghie”. Belgodère is also renowned for the wonderful sandy beach at Lozari. Excursions are possible to Calvi (approx. 24km), to the romantic village of St. Florent and to the bathing resort Ile Rousse.
